We operate in highly competitive markets and our failure to anticipate and respond to technological changes and other market developments, including price competition, could harm our ability to compete and risk the commoditization of our products. We face intense competition in the data storage industry. Our principal sources of competition include HDD and SSD manufacturers, and companies that provide storage subsystems, including electronic manufacturing services and contract electronic manufacturing. The markets for our data storage products are characterized by technological change, which is driven in part by the adoption of new industry standards. These standards provide mechanisms to ensure technology component interoperability but they also hinder our ability to innovate or differentiate our products. When this occurs, our products may be considered commodities, which has historically, and could in the future, result in downward pressure on prices. We also experience competition from other companies that produce alternative storage technologies such as flash memory, where increasing capacity, decreasing cost, energy efficiency and improvements in performance have resulted in SSDs that offer increased competition with our lower capacity, smaller form factor HDDs and a declining trend in demand for HDDs in our legacy markets. Some customers for both mass capacity storage and legacy markets have adopted SSDs as an alternative to hard drives in certain applications. Further adoption of SSDs or other alternative storage technologies may limit our total addressable HDD market, impact the competitiveness of our product portfolio and reduce our market share. Any resulting increase in competition could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our industry has experienced consolidation and may continue to consolidate. Consolidation may result in new or stronger competitors, and such competitors may have greater…Now

We are dependent on sales to distributors and retailers, which may increase price erosion and the volatility of our sales . Sales to distributors and retailers of disk drive products account for a substantial portion of our revenue. Many of our distributors and retailers also market competing products. We face significant competition in this distribution channel as a result of limited product qualification programs and a focus on price, terms and product availability. Sales volumes through this channel are also less predictable and subject to greater volatility. In addition, deterioration in business and economic conditions has exacerbated price erosion and volatility as distributors and retailers lower prices to compensate for lower demand and higher inventory levels. Our distributors' and retailers' ability to access credit to fund their operations may also affect their purchases of our products. If prices decline significantly in this distribution channel or our distributors or retailers reduce purchases of our products, experience financial difficulties or terminate their relationships with us, our revenues and results of operations would be adversely affected. We must plan our investments in our products and incur costs before we have customer orders or know about the market conditions at the time the products are produced. If we fail to predict demand accurately for our products or if the markets for our products change, we may have insufficient demand or we may be unable to meet demand, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our results of operations are highly dependent on cloud, enterprise and consumer spending and the resulting demand for our products.

The deterioration of demand for disk drives in certain of the legacy markets has accelerated, and we believe this deterioration may continue and may further accelerate, which has caused and could further cause our operating results to suffer. In addition, we believe announcements regarding competitive product introductions from time to time have caused customers to defer or cancel their purchases, making certain inventory obsolete. Whenever an oversupply of products in the market causes our industry to have higher than anticipated inventory levels, we experience even more intense price competition from other manufacturers than usual, which may materially and adversely affect our financial results.Now

We experience seasonal declines in the sales of our consumer products during the second half of our fiscal year which may adversely affect our results of operations. In several of our end markets, sales of computers, storage subsystems and consumer electronic devices tend to be seasonal, and therefore, we expect to continue to experience seasonality in our business as we respond to variations in our customers' demand for our products. In particular, sales of our consumer products have in the past and may in the future be lower during the second half of our fiscal year. Retail sales of certain of our legacy markets solutions traditionally experience higher demand in the first half of our fiscal year driven by consumer spending in the back-to-school season from late summer to fall and the traditional holiday shopping season from fall to winter. We experience seasonal reductions in the second half of our fiscal year in the business activities of our customers during international holidays like Lunar New Year, as well as in the summer months (particularly in Europe), which typically result in lower sales during those periods. Since our working capital needs peak during periods in which we are increasing production in anticipation of orders that have not yet been received, our results of operations will fluctuate even if the forecasted demand for our products proves accurate. Failure to anticipate consumer demand for our branded solutions may also adversely impact our future results of operations. Furthermore, it is difficult for us to evaluate the degree to which this seasonality may affect our business in future periods because of the rate and unpredictability of product transitions and new product introductions, as well as macroeconomic conditions. In particular, during periods when there are rapidly changing macroeconomic conditions, historical seasonality trends may not be a good indicator to predict our future performance and results of operations.Now

Any changes in tax laws and regulations could have a material and adverse effect on our tax obligations and effective tax rate. In particular, potential uncertainty of changes to global tax laws, including global initiatives put forth by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") and tax laws in any jurisdiction in which we operate have had and may continue to have an effect on our business, corporate structure, operations, sales, liquidity, capital requirements, effective tax rate, results of operations, and financial performance. Several jurisdictions in which we operate have enacted legislation, either partially or fully implementing the OECD's Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax, also known as the top-up tax. This includes the recent updates from Singapore and Thailand, which will take effect for the Company starting in fiscal year 2026. We will continue to monitor for further developments. The enactment of Pillar Two legislation did not have a material and adverse effect on the Company's financial statements in the fiscal year 2025. Beginning in fiscal year 2026, the Pillar Two framework for the global minimum tax is expected to materially increase the level of income tax, especially for jurisdictions in which we currently have tax incentives, such as Singapore and Thailand.

Any decision to reduce or discontinue the payment of cash dividends to our shareholders or the repurchase of our ordinary shares pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase program could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline significantly . Although historically we have announced regular cash dividend payments and a share repurchase program, we are under no obligation to pay cash dividends to our shareholders in the future at historical levels or at all or to repurchase our ordinary shares at any particular price or at all. The declaration and payment of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Our previously announced share repurchase program was paused in the December 2022 quarter and remained paused through the end of fiscal year 2025. While we expect to resume the program in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, there can be no assurance that we will do so. Our payment of quarterly cash dividends and the repurchase of our ordinary shares pursuant to our share repurchase program are subject to, among other things, our financial position and results of operations, distributable reserves, available cash and cash flow, capital and regulatory requirements, market and economic conditions, our ordinary share price and other factors. Any reduction or discontinuance by us of the payment of quarterly cash dividends or the repurchase of our ordinary shares pursuant to our share repurchase program could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline significantly. Moreover, in the event our payment of quarterly cash dividends or repurchases of our ordinary shares are reduced or discontinued, our failure to resume such activities at historical levels could result in a persistent lower market valuation of our ordinary shares .Now

The Company operates and reports financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. Fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 are comprised of 52 weeks and ended on June 27, 2025, June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. All references to years in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements represent fiscal years unless otherwise noted. Fiscal year 2026 will be comprised of 53 weeks and will end on July 3, 2026.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the United States U.S. generally accepted accounting principles GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2025 are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 1, 2025. The Company believes that the disclosures included in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, when read in conjunction with its Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 27, 2025, and the notes thereto, are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the three months ended October 3, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the Company's fiscal year ending July 3 , 2026.
The Company operates and reports financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. In fiscal years with 53 weeks, the first quarter consists of 14 weeks and the remaining quarters consist of 13 weeks each. The three months ended October 3, 2025 consisted of 14 weeks and the three months ended September 27, 2024 consisted of 13 weeks, respectively. Fiscal years 2026 and 2025 comprise 53 and 52 weeks and end on July 3 , 2026 and June 27, 2025, respectively. The fiscal quarters ended October 3, 2025, June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024, are also referred to herein as the "September 2025 quarter", the "June 2025 quarter" and the "September 2024 quarter", respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company's highly liquid investments are primarily comprised of money market funds, time deposits and certificates of deposits.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents. Restricted cash and cash equivalents represent cash and cash equivalents held as collateral at banks for various performance obligations.
Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) and net realizable value. Net realizable value is based upon the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adjustments to reduce cost of inventories to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess or obsolescence determined primarily by future demand forecasts.
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements. Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment and buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease. The costs of additions and substantial improvements to property, equipment and leasehold improvements, which extend the economic life of the underlying assets, are capitalized. The cost of maintenance and repairs to property, equipment and leasehold improvements is expensed as incurred.
In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets on an ongoing basis. Effective from the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company changed the useful lives of certain manufacturing equipment from a range of three to seven years to a range of three to ten years based on a review of the technology product roadmap. The effect of this change in estimate increased the net income by $ 99 million and increased the diluted earnings per share by $ 0.47 for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2024.
Goodwill. The Company performs a qualitative assessment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if any events or circumstances exist, such as an adverse change in business climate or a decline in the overall industry that would indicate that it would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is determined in the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not below its carrying amount, including goodwill, then the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Any excess in the carrying value of a reporting unit over its fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets are included in Other assets, net and lease liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and Other non-current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the corresponding lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company combines lease and non-lease components for facility leases and does not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments and ROU assets are based on the lease liability, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee's initial direct costs. For the Company's leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the net present value of future minimum lease payments is determined using the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. Additionally, the Company's lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.
The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments not dependent on an index or a rate primarily consist of common area maintenance charges, are expensed as incurred, and are not included in the ROU asset and lease liability calculation.
Other Long-lived Assets. The Company tests other long-lived assets, including property, equipment and leasehold improvements, ROU assets and other intangible assets subject to amortization, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are identified, the Company performs a recoverability test to assess the recoverability of an asset group. If the recoverability test indicates that the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable, the Company will estimate the fair value of the asset group and the excess of the carrying value over the fair value is allocated pro rata to derive the adjusted carrying value of assets in the asset group.
Warranty. The Company estimates probable product warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized and records the estimated charge in Cost of revenue on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company generally provides warranty on its products for a period of 1 to 5 years. The Company's warranty provision considers estimated product failure rates, trends (including the timing of product returns during the warranty periods), and estimated repair or replacement costs related to product quality issues, if any. The Company also exercises judgment in estimating its ability to sell refurbished products.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Incentive Programs. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue from sales of products is generally recognized upon transfer of control to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products, net of sales taxes. This typically occurs upon shipment from the Company. When applicable, the Company includes shipping charges billed to customers in Revenue and includes the related shipping costs in Cost of revenue on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company records estimated variable consideration at the time of revenue recognition as a reduction to revenue. Variable consideration generally consists of expected rebates to be provided for sales incentive programs, such as price protection and volume incentives aimed at increasing customer demand. For original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") sales, rebates are typically established by estimating the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received based on an OEM customer's volume of purchases from the Company or other agreed upon rebate programs. For the distribution and retail channel, these programs typically involve estimating the most likely amount of rebates based on actual historical price incentives, known future price trends, and channel inventory level. Marketing development program costs are accrued and recorded as a reduction to revenue at the same time that the related revenue is recognized.
At the end of the reporting period, the Company has unfulfilled product purchase orders which represent performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered under existing customer contracts. Some of these purchase orders are non-cancellable in nature. As of June 27, 2025, all non-cancellable purchase orders are less than one year in duration and are expected to be fulfilled in the next twelve months. The Company applied the optional exemption to not disclose the value of these remaining performance obligations as they are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
The Company expenses sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded as Marketing and administrative in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Restructuring Costs. The Company incurs restructuring costs in connection with workforce reductions, consolidation or closure of facilities and other exit costs. The Company records employee termination liabilities when it is probable that benefits will be paid and the amount is reasonably estimable. The rates used in determining severance accruals are based on existing plans, historical experiences and negotiated settlements. Other costs associated with a restructuring plan or exit or disposal activities are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred or the asset is impaired.
Advertising Expense. The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $ 21 million , $ 18 million and $ 30 million in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for share-based compensation at fair value, net of estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as the historical analysis of actual forfeited awards. The Company estimates the fair value of granted share options and restricted share units ("RSUs") using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model and a single share award approach. The Company estimates the fair value of performance-based share units ("PSUs") related to the Company's return on invested capital and total shareholder return using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Share-based compensation expense for share options and RSUs with only a service condition is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The expense for PSUs with both a service condition and a performance or market condition is recognized on a graded vesting basis.
Accounting for Income Taxes . The Company records a provision or benefit for income taxes for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company recognizes the deferred income tax effects of a change in tax rates in the period of the enactment. The Company periodically reassesses the need for valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets, considering both positive and negative evidence to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
Equity Investments. From time to time, the Company enters into certain strategic investments for the promotion of business and strategic objectives, which are accounted for either under equity method or the measurement alternative. These investments are included in Other assets, net in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subsequently adjusted through Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments are accounted for under the equity method if the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling financial interest. These investments are measured at cost, less any impairment plus the Company's portion of investee's income or loss. The Company uses the financial statements of investees to determine any adjustments, which are received on a one-quarter lag.
For equity investments where the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and there are no readily determinable fair values, the Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative, under which investments are measured at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for qualifying observable price changes on a prospective basis.
The Company's strategic investments are periodically analyzed to determine whether or not there are indicators of impairment by assessing factors such as deterioration of earnings, adverse change in market/industry conditions, the ability to operate as a going concern, and other factors which indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. In such a case, the decrease in value is recognized in the period the impairment occurs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Foreign Currency Remeasurement and Translation. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company's foreign operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the functional currency at the balance sheet date at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. The gains and losses from the remeasurement are included in Other, net in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Business Combinations. The Company includes the results of operations of acquired businesses in the Company's consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired including existing technology, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests, if any, in the acquired entity based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and the Company and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. Acquisition-related expenses, post-acquisition integration and restructuring costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.
Government Incentives. The Company enters into government incentive arrangements with domestic and foreign, local, regional and national governments, which vary in size, duration and conditions. Government incentives, primarily cash grants, are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentives will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions specified in the agreement. Operating-related incentives are offset against the related expense in the period the expense is incurred. Capital-related incentives are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amounts of the related Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and result in a reduction to depreciation expense over the useful lives of the assets. Government incentives received prior to being earned are recognized in current or non-current deferred income within Accrued expenses and Non-current liabilities, whereas government incentives earned prior to being received are recognized in current or non-current receivables within Other current assets or Other asset, net, respectively, in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash received from government incentives related to operating expenses is included as an operating activity in the Statements of Cash Flows, whereas cash received from incentives related to the acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net is included as an investing activity.
Incentives received from governments are subject to various confidentiality provisions. In general, they are related to manufacturing of HDDs, enhancing centers of excellence, product development and innovation capabilities. These incentives have initial terms ranging from 1 to 5 years. If conditions are not satisfied, the incentives are subject to reduction, recapture or termination.
In fiscal year 2025, approximately $ 38 million , $ 12 million and $ 5 million of operating grants were recognized as reductions to Cost of revenue , Product development and Marketing and administrative , respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Capital-related incentives reduced gross property, plant and equipment by $ 45 million as of June 27, 2025 and the reduction to depreciation expense was not material. As of June 27, 2025, the grant receivables of $ 89 million were reflected within Other current assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In fiscal year 2024, approximately $ 3 million of operating grants were recognized as reductions to Cost of revenue and Product development in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also received advanced cash grants of $ 17 million, which were reflected within Accrued expenses in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2024 . In fiscal year 2023, approximately $ 13 million of operating grants were recognized as reductions to Cost of revenue and Product development in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, including those related to revenue recognition, share-based compensation, restructuring accruals, provision for taxes, valuation allowance for deferred taxes, provision for expected credit losses, inventory reserves, warranty accruals, and impairment assessments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. The Company believes that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances, and are subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. Should any of these estimates change, it could adversely affect the Company's results of operations. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Concentration of Credit Risk. The Company's customer base is concentrated with a small number of customers. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on its customers' financial condition. The Company establishes allowances for expected credit losses based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, global macroeconomic conditions and an analysis of specific exposures. One customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable as of June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024 .
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company maintains the cash and cash equivalents with four major financial institutions and a portion of such balances exceed or are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. The Company mitigates concentrations of credit risk in its financial instruments through diversification, by investing in highly-rated securities and/or major multinational companies.
In entering into foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the Company assumes the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The counterparties to these contracts are major multinational commercial and investment banks, and the Company has not incurred and does not expect any losses as a result of counterparty defaults.
Supplier Concentration. Certain of the raw materials, components and equipment used by the Company in the manufacture of its products are available from single-sourced direct and indirect vendors. Shortages could occur in these essential materials and components due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. If the Company were unable to procure certain materials, components or equipment at all or acceptable prices, it would be required to reduce its manufacturing operations, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.

At June 27, 2025, the Company recorded $ 1.1 billion of net deferred tax assets. The realization of most of these deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient U.S. and certain non-U.S. taxable income in future periods. Although realization is not assured, the Company's management believes it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, may increase or decrease in subsequent periods when the Company re-evaluates the underlying basis for its estimates of future U.S. and certain non-U.S. taxable income.
The deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased by $ 7 million in fiscal year 2025, which primarily relates to releases in valuation allowance, partially offset with acquired deferred tax balances which are not likely to be realized.
At June 27, 2025, the Company had U.S. tax net operating loss and credit carryforwards of approximately $ 3.0 billion and $ 726 million, respectively, of which approximately $ 7 million and $ 24 million, respectively, are scheduled to expire at various dates in fiscal year 2026, if not utilized.

As of June 27, 2025, approximately $ 102 million and $ 41 million of the Company's total U.S. net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, respectively, are subject to annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code.

A substantial portion of the Company's operations in Singapore and Thailand operate under various tax incentive programs, which expire in whole or in part at various dates into fiscal year 2036. Certain tax incentives may be extended if specific conditions are met. The net impact of these tax incentive programs was to increase the Company's net income by approximately $ 285 million in fiscal year 2025 ($ 1.32 per share, diluted), to increase the Company's net income by approximately $ 40 million in fiscal year 2024 ($ 0.19 per share, diluted) and to decrease the Company's net loss by approximately $ 14 million in fiscal year 2023 ($ 0.07 per share, basic).
The Company analyzes the potential needs for deferred tax liabilities with respect to the accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries annually. The analysis focuses on the outside basis differences in the stock of the foreign subsidiaries as well as the withholding tax obligations those subsidiaries may have with respect to any distribution. The undistributed earnings for which taxes are not provided are permanently reinvested or can be repatriated without incremental tax liability.
As of June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, the Company had approximately $ 107 million and $ 112 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties. These amounts, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate subject to certain future valuation allowance offsets.
The following table summarizes the activities related to the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits:
(Dollars in millions) June 27,
Balance of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning of the year $ 112 $ 116 $ 114
Gross increase for tax positions of prior years 2 3 —

Gross increase for tax positions of current year 11 5 7
Gross decrease for tax positions of current year — — ( 1 )
Balance of unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the year $ 107 $ 112 $ 116
It is the Company's policy to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest and penalties recorded on these tax positions were not material to any periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 27, 2025, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change compared to fiscal year 2024.
During the 12 months beginning June 28, 2025, the Company does not expect a material change to its unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.
The Company is required to file U.S. and non-U.S. income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to examination of its U.S. income tax returns for years prior to fiscal year 2020 and prior to fiscal year 2013 for non-U.S. income tax returns.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 65 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025. The Company's income tax provision for the three months ended October 3, 2025 differed from the provisions for income taxes that would be derived by applying the Singaporean statutory rate of 17 % to income before income taxes, primarily due to the implementation of Pillar Two global minimum tax in major jurisdictions that the Company operates starting from fiscal year 2026. The income tax provision for the three months ended October 3, 2025 also includes total discrete tax benefit of approximately $ 38 million, primarily related to the release of certain valuation allowances in connection with the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025, as well as net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense.
As of October 3, 2025, the Company's unrecognized tax benefit excluding interest and penalties is approximately $ 107 million, substantially all of which would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, subject to certain future valuation allowance reversals. The balance did not change materially during the three months ended October 3, 2025. The Company is not expecting material changes to its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.
The Company recorded income tax provisions of $ 11 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024. The income tax provision included approximately $ 8 million of net discrete benefit, primarily associated with net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense.
The Company's income tax provisions recorded for the three months ended September 27, 2024 differed from the provisions for income taxes that would be derived by applying the Singaporean statutory rate of 17 % to income before income taxes, primarily due to the net effect of tax benefits related to earnings generated in jurisdictions that are subject to tax incentive programs.

For the balance of the Company's financial instruments, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and financial liabilities included within accrued expenses, the carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost. Fair value adjustments are made to these non-financial assets in the period an impairment charge is recognized. In fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded a ROU asset impairment charge of $ 10 million in Restructuring and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to reduce the carrying value of certain ROU assets . If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, these would generally be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
