[added] Sustained uncertainty about, or worsening of, current global economic conditions, further tariffs and escalations of trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners, especially China, increased geopolitical volatility, and the decoupling of the global economies could result in a global economic slowdown and long-term changes to global trade. Such events may also (i) cause our customers and end-users to reduce, delay or forgo technology spending, (ii) result in customers sourcing products from other suppliers not subject to such restrictions or tariffs or to develop these products themselves, (iii) lead to the insolvency or consolidation of key suppliers and customers, and (iv) intensify pricing pressures. Any or all of these factors could negatively affect demand for our products and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The industries in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological change, new technological developments such as AI and cloud computing, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, short product cycles, evolving industry standards, and new delivery methods. In addition, to compete successfully in the semiconductor industry, we must continue to develop and respond to technological advancements and requirements, such as low-power consumption, higher bandwidth and large compute clusters, and we have, from time to time, evolved our business strategy and adopted new business models to address the needs and challenges of our customers. Failure to successfully develop increasingly advanced technologies, including our custom AI accelerators or XPUs, network switches and other AI-related products, or execute on new strategies or models such as the sale or leasing of AI racks or systems based on our XPUs could impair our competitive position. In order to remain competitive, we have made, and expect to continue to make, significant investments in research and development, expand our business strategy or adopt new business models. If we fail to timely develop new and enhanced products and technologies, if we focus on technologies that do not become widely [added] adopted, if new competitive technologies that we do not support become widely accepted, or if we are unable to successfully execute on new business strategies or models such as the sale or leasing of AI racks or systems based on our XPUs, demand for our products and solutions such as our custom AI accelerators or XPUs, network switches or other AI-related products may be reduced. Slow or unsuccessful investments in our research and development efforts or expansion or modification of our business strategies and models and incurring significant expenses for these actions, would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and margins.

Summary · quote-checked

Added disclosure that customer design wins may not produce sales and could create demand, inventory, and cost-recovery risks.

The new paragraph adds substantive risks involving customer decisions, product qualification and marketing, excess inventory, and inability to recoup or resell customized products.

Why the model ranked it here

Clients should read this because it shows that customer design wins may not convert to sales and could instead create excess inventory and unrecovered costs.

In addition, we may also be unable to materially recoup our costs or resell our products to other customers due to the custom nature of certain products.

01AddedItem 7 › Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Summary · quote-checked

Added disclosure of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and a $1,321 million valuation allowance against CAMT credit carryforwards and current-year credits.

The new paragraph discloses enacted tax legislation, changed utilization expectations, and a significant valuation allowance, creating substantive information about tax assets and obligations.

Why the model ranked it here

The enacted tax law changed the expected utilization of tax credits and led to a substantial valuation allowance, materially affecting reported tax assets.

[added] Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allows for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs and certain capital expenditures, and changes the United States taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. As a result, it is no longer more-likely-than-not that we are able to utilize our federal corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") credits, and we established a $1,321 million valuation allowance against our CAMT credit carryforwards and CAMT credits generated in the current fiscal year. Our policy is to not consider the impact of future years' CAMT in our valuation allowance assessment for regular deferred tax assets. Most of the provisions are effective beginning in our fiscal years ending November 1, 2026 or October 31, 2027, with the exception of immediate expensing of qualifying property being effective in fiscal year 2025.

02AddedItem 7 › Costs and Expenses

Summary · quote-checked

Added disclosure of tax incentives’ effects on income-tax provision and the possibility that future tax strategy may be less beneficial.

The paragraph introduces a substantive tax benefit, quantifies its effect, and states that the current concession arrangements may not remain as beneficial.

Why the model ranked it here

The company disclosed a significant tax benefit that may not persist if its current tax concession arrangements become less favorable.

Each tax incentive and tax holiday is subject to our compliance with various operating and other conditions. If we cannot, or elect not to, comply with any such operating conditions specified, we could, in some instances, be required to refund previously realized material tax benefits, or if such tax incentive or tax holiday is terminated prior to its expiration absent a new incentive applying, we will lose the related tax benefits earlier than scheduled. We may elect to modify our [added] operational structure and tax strategy, which may not be as beneficial to us as the benefits provided under the present tax concession arrangements. Before taking into consideration the impacts of indirect taxes, the effect of these tax incentives and tax holiday decreased the provision for income taxes by approximately $2,709 million and $2,261 million for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Summary · quote-checked

Added a Working Capital paragraph describing increased cash and cash equivalents and the operating, financing, tax, dividend, and repurchase drivers.

The new paragraph adds a substantive liquidity disclosure, including cash availability and specific sources and uses of cash, rather than a recurring presentation update.

Why the model ranked it here

The disclosure gives a materially different picture of liquidity by identifying increased cash and the major operating, financing, tax, dividend, and repurchase uses of funds.

During the fiscal quarter ended May 4, 2025, we granted two-year time- and market-based restricted stock unit awards (the "Two-Year Equity Awards"), in lieu of our annual employee equity awards historically granted in the second quarter of each fiscal year. Each Two-Year Equity Award vests on the same basis as two annual grants with staggered vesting start dates [added] of March 15, 2025 and March 15, 2026 and successive four-year vesting periods. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to these awards from the grant date through their respective vesting date, ranging from four to five years.

Summary · quote-checked

Removed disclosure that VMware remains subject to Dell consolidated-group tax audits and that Dell controls related audits under a tax agreement.

The removed paragraph disclosed ongoing tax-audit exposure, potential differences from tax provisions, and a dependency on Dell’s audit control, changing disclosed tax risks and obligations.

Why the model ranked it here

Clients should read this because it removes disclosure of ongoing tax-audit exposure and the company’s dependence on Dell to control and represent its interests in those audits.

While VMware is no longer a member of the Dell consolidated group, it is still subject to audit for the periods in which it was member of the Dell consolidated group. While we believe VMware's positions are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits could be materially different from our income tax provisions and accruals. Further, pursuant to a tax agreement between VMware and Dell, in the event VMware becomes subject to audits as a member of Dell's consolidated group, Dell has authority to control the audit and represent Dell and our interests, which could limit our ability to affect the outcome of such audits.

Summary · quote-checked

The disclosure adds AI-customer leasing, alternative financing, deferred-payment and credit-default risks, while expanding the identified customer categories.

The paragraph changes the stated customer behavior and adds specific financing arrangements and credit exposure, creating new dependencies and risks beyond wording or customer-list updates.

Why the model ranked it here

Customers are seeking leasing and alternative or deferred financing arrangements, creating new dependencies on customer payment capacity and credit exposure.

Filing text · FY2024 10-K · filed Dec 20, 2024

[removed] Our semiconductor customers [removed] are not generally required to purchase specific quantities of [removed] products.

Summary · quote-checked

The paragraph replaces historical cyclical-industry discussion with specific AI-related pressures, customer financing constraints, order risks and potential adverse effects.

The disclosure adds new AI customer payment, financing, demand and obligation risks, and states a potential material adverse effect, materially changing the risk described.

Why the model ranked it here

The disclosure identifies AI customers that may lack the resources to pay for infrastructure, making customer financing and collection risk more explicit.

Filing text · FY2024 10-K · filed Dec 20, 2024

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is [removed] characterized by rapid price erosion, wide fluctuations in product supply and demand, constant and rapid technological change, evolving technical [removed] standards, evolving markets such as AI, frequent new product introductions, and short product life cycles. From time to time, these factors, together with changes in general economic conditions, cause significant upturns and downturns in the industry and in our business. The market for AI-related products has resulted in a significant [removed] upturn in certain segments of the industry resulting in record revenue, which may not be sustainable. [removed] Previously the industry experienced a significant upturn due to a supply imbalance that resulted in record profitability and increases in average selling prices, which was followed by a down-cycle resulting in diminished demand for [removed] end-user products, high inventory levels and periods of inventory adjustment, and elimination of expedite fees. Historically, such down-cycles have also been characterized by under-utilization of manufacturing capacity, changes in revenue mix and accelerated erosion of average selling prices, which can lead to reduced profitability and a decline in our stock price. The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America Act could also result in an increase in supply leading to excess inventory and a decrease in average selling prices. We expect our business to continue to be subject to cyclical downturns even when overall economic conditions are relatively stable. If we cannot offset industry or market downturns, our net revenue may decline and our financial condition and [removed] results of operations may suffer.

The paragraph adds financial-market and government-policy risks, changes cash-flow and refinancing disclosures, and removes several China, customer, supplier, and demand scenarios.

The disclosure changes substantive risks and modality, including added onshoring policy and market-volatility effects, while removing specific consequences involving China, customers, suppliers, spending, and pricing.

The paragraph changes the disclosed tax obligation and management’s outlook, replacing expiring tax benefits with an expected material effect on results of operations and cash flows.

Why the model ranked it here

02ChangedItem 7 › Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary · quote-checked

Liquidity disclosures now include near-term debt maturities and discretionary share repurchases, while removing VMware-related financing details and updating outstanding indebtedness.

The paragraph changes stated liquidity needs, adds a principal amount payable within 12 months and share repurchases, and removes the VMware financing and repayment narrative; these are substantive obligations and uses of cash.

Why the model ranked it here

The liquidity discussion now highlights substantial outstanding indebtedness, near-term principal payments, and discretionary share repurchases as ongoing uses of cash.

Filing text · FY2024 10-K · filed Dec 20, 2024

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements primarily arise from: (i) [removed] business acquisitions and investments we may make from time to time, (ii) working capital requirements, [removed] (iii) research and development and capital expenditure needs, [removed] (iv) cash dividend payments (if and when declared by our Board of Directors), [removed] (v) interest and principal payments related to our [removed] $69,847 million of outstanding [removed] indebtedness, and (vi) payment of income [removed] taxes. Our ability to fund these requirements will depend, in part, on our future cash flows, which are determined by our future operating performance and, therefore, subject to prevailing global macroeconomic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We expect capital expenditures to be higher in [removed] the fiscal year [removed] ending November 2, 2025 as compared to fiscal year [removed] 2024. Our debt and liquidity needs increased in fiscal year 2024 as a result of completing the VMware Merger. We funded the cash portion of the consideration with net proceeds from the issuance of $30,390 million in term loans (the "2023 Term Loans"), as well as cash on hand. We also assumed $8,250 million of VMware's outstanding senior unsecured notes. During fiscal year 2024, we made repayments of $16,795 million on our 2023 Term Loans.

Filing text · FY2025 10-K · filed Dec 18, 2025

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements primarily arise from: (i) working capital requirements, [added] (ii) research and development and capital expenditure needs, [added] (iii) cash dividend payments (if and when declared by our Board of Directors), [added] (iv) interest and principal payments related to our [added] $67,120 million of outstanding [added] indebtedness with $3,152 million principal amounts payable within 12 months, (v) payment of income [added] taxes, (vi) business acquisitions and investments we may make from time to time, and (vii) discretionary share repurchases. Our ability to fund these requirements will depend, in part, on our future cash flows, which are determined by our future operating performance and, therefore, subject to prevailing global macroeconomic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We expect capital expenditures to be higher in fiscal year [added] 2026 as compared to fiscal year [added] 2025.
