Note
- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We have entered into various agreements in the ordinary course of business that require substantial cash commitments over the next several years. Other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and in addition to the agreements requiring known cash commitments as reported in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we did not have any significant changes to our commitments since March 31, 2026.
Legal and Other Proceedings
We are, or may become, subject to demands and claims (including intellectual property and employment related claims) and are involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of business which we do not believe to be material to our business or financial condition or results of operations. We have appropriately accrued amounts related to certain of these claims and legal and other proceedings. While it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred in excess of the amounts accrued in our financial statements, we believe that such losses, unless otherwise disclosed, would not be material.
- INCOME TAXES
The benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2027, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred.
The benefit from income taxes was $57.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the provision for income taxes of $18.4 for the prior year period. When compared to the statutory rate of 21%, the effective tax rate of 51.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily driven by tax benefits of $57.1 related to geographic mix of earnings and changes in reserves offset by tax expense of $20.0 related to tax credits.
The benefit from income taxes was $73.1 for the six months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the provision for income taxes of $16.5 for the prior year period. When compared to the statutory rate of 21%, the effective tax rate of 45.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily driven by tax benefits of $74.0 related to geographic mix of earnings and changes in reserves offset by tax expense of $27.6 related to tax credits.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBB") was signed into law. OBBB includes significant provisions, including but not limited to (1) permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA"), (2) modifications to the international provisions relating to Base Erosion and Anti Abuse Act ("BEAT"), Global Intangible Low-Tax Income ("GILTI") and Foreign Derived Deduction Eligible Income ("FDDEI"), (3) permanent reinstatement deduction for domestic research expenditures and 100% bonus depreciation for certain qualified property, and (4) modifications to tax credits. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 and others implemented in future periods. We have estimated the accounting for income tax effects of OBBB in our projected annual effective tax rate. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of OBBB on the Company. It is possible that these changes could have an adverse impact on our effective tax rate, tax payments, financial condition, or results of operations. The tax law is complex and additional interpretive guidance may be issued that could affect the interpretations and assumptions we have made, as well as actions we may take as a result of OBBB.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) includes a corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with an average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a consecutive three-year period. It is possible that the CAMT could result in an additional tax liability over the regular federal corporate tax liability in a particular year based on differences between book and taxable income. We do not estimate any tax liability relating to CAMT for the current fiscal year. We will continue to evaluate the potential impact the Inflation Reduction Act may have on our operations and Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits, referred to as Pillar Two. Many countries have already implemented or are taking steps to implement Pillar Two. Although the model rules provide a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar Two slightly differently than the model rules and on different timelines. Pillar Two could result in additional tax liability over the regular corporate tax liability in a particular jurisdiction to the extent tax expense is less than a 15% minimum rate. The impact of Pillar Two was not material to the three and six months ended September 30, 2026. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released new administrative guidance outlining a “side-by-side” arrangement following agreement on key elements by the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Pillar Two. It provides new safe harbors for U.S. multinational companies which would exempt U.S.-parented groups from two of the three Pillar Two top up taxes, extend the current Transitional Country-by-Country Reporting Safe Harbor by one year through the end of fiscal year ending March 31, 2028, and make the Simplified Effective Tax Rate Safe Harbor permanent. We will continue to evaluate the impact Pillar Two and any additional guidance may have on our results and operations.
We are regularly examined by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Examinations may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments. It is possible that settlement of audits or the expiration of the statute of limitations may have an impact on our effective tax rate in future periods.
- SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
We haveone operating and reportable segment. Our operations involve similar products and customers worldwide. Revenue earned is primarily derived from the sale of software titles, which are developed internally and by third parties. Our Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), manages our operations on a consolidated basis. Our CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) – supplemented by sales information by product category, major product title, and platform – for the purpose of evaluating performance and allocating resources. All significant expense categories are presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our other segment items include Depreciation and amortization, Interest and other, net, and (Benefit from) provision for income taxes. The measure of segment assets are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Total assets. The CODM does not review segment assets at a level other than that presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Geography
We attribute net revenue to geographic regions based on software product destination. Net revenue by geographic region was as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Six Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Net revenue recognized: | ||||
| United States | $888.9 | $1,036.1 | $1,808.9 | $1,936.5 |
| International | 608.1 | 737.7 | 1,222.0 | 1,341.1 |
| Total net revenue | $1,497.0 | $1,773.8 | $3,030.9 | $3,277.6 |
- ASSET ACQUISITION
On August 10, 2026, we purchased the building where we previously leased office space in London, England, for a total capitalized cost of $91.8, which includes cash consideration, direct transaction costs, net of the derecognition of the preexisting lease liability and right-of-use asset from the balance sheet.
The transaction was treated as an asset acquisition, in which the total cost was allocated on a relative fair value basis to identified assets. The following table summarizes the allocated acquisition cost of tangible assets as of the acquisition date, which are included within Fixed assets, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| Allocated Cost · Weighted average useful life | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Land | $82.9 | N/A | |
| Building | 8.9 | 20 years | |
| Total | $91.8 | ||
- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In November 2026, we completed a reorganization involving certain intangible assets to simplify our global operating structure. As a result, our jurisdictional mix of earnings will be affected beginning in November 2026. We are still evaluating the impact of this on our estimated annual effective tax rate, deferred tax assets, and valuation allowance for future periods.
