BROADCOM INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Overview
Broadcom Inc. (“Broadcom”), a Delaware corporation, is a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies a broad range of semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. Our semiconductor solutions include a broad portfolio of complex digital and mixed signal complementary metal oxide semiconductor based devices, analog III-V based products, network interface cards and other modules, switches, subsystems and, in some cases, racks that are used in a wide array of environments, end products and applications such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) and enterprise data centers, servers, networking and connectivity equipment, storage systems, home connectivity devices, set-top boxes, broadband access, telecommunication equipment, smartphones and base stations, factory automation, power generation and alternative energy systems, and electronic displays. Our infrastructure software solutions help enterprises simplify their information technology (“IT”) environments so they can increase business velocity and flexibility, and enable customers to plan, develop, deliver, automate, manage and secure applications across mainframe, distributed, edge, mobile, and private and hybrid cloud platforms. Our portfolio of infrastructure and security software is designed to modernize, optimize, and secure the most complex private and hybrid cloud environments, enabling scalability, agility, automation, insights, resiliency and security making it easy for customers to run their mission-critical workloads. We also offer mission-critical fibre channel storage area networking (“FC SAN”) products and related software in the form of modules, switches and subsystems incorporating multiple semiconductor products. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Broadcom,” “we,” “our,” and “us” mean Broadcom and its consolidated subsidiaries. We have two reportable segments: semiconductor solutions and infrastructure software.
Basis of Presentation
We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to October 31. Our fiscal year ending November 2, 2025 (“fiscal year 2025”) is a 52-week fiscal year. Our fiscal year ended November 3, 2024 (“fiscal year 2024”) was a 53-week fiscal year, with our first fiscal quarter containing 14 weeks.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Broadcom and its subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The financial information included herein is unaudited, and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The November 3, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from Broadcom’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2025, or for any other future period.
Significant Accounting Policies
Use of estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.
2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We account for a contract with a customer when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which we are entitled. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer.
Disaggregation
We have considered (1) information that is regularly reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) as defined by the authoritative guidance on segment reporting, in evaluating financial performance and (2) disclosures presented outside of our financial statements in our earnings releases and used in investor presentations to disaggregate revenues. The principal category we use to disaggregate revenues is the nature of our products and subscriptions and services, as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, revenues by reportable segment are presented in Note 10. “Segment Information.”
The following tables present revenue disaggregated by type of revenue and by region for the periods presented:

Although we recognize revenue for the majority of our products when title and control transfer in Penang, Malaysia, we disclose revenue by region based primarily on the geographic shipment location or delivery location specified by our distributors, original equipment manufacturer customers, contract manufacturers, channel partners, or software customers.
Contract Balances
Contract assets and contract liabilities balances were as follows:
| August 3, 2025 | November 3, 2024 | |||||||||||||
| (In millions) | ||||||||||||||
| Contract Assets | $ | 7,575 | $ | 4,402 | ||||||||||
| Contract Liabilities | $ | 14,336 | $ | 14,495 |
We fulfill our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. We recognize a contract asset when revenue recognized on a contract exceeds the amount invoiced. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional on something other than the passage of time. A contract asset becomes a receivable when invoiced upon the right to consideration becoming unconditional.
We recognize a contract liability when billings on a contract exceed the revenue recognized and there is a future obligation to transfer products or services to a customer. Changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between our performance and the customer’s payment.
As of August 3, 2025, approximately 66% of contract liabilities related to contracts subject to termination for convenience provisions. The amount of revenue recognized during the three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025 that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of November 3, 2024 was $8,021 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the three fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2024 that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of October 29, 2023 was $2,280 million.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. Remaining performance obligations include unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods, but do not include contracts for software, subscriptions or services where the customer is not committed. The customer is not considered committed when the customer contract permits termination for convenience. Additionally, as a practical expedient, we have not included contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, nor have we included contracts with sales-based or usage-based royalties promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property (“IP”).
Certain multi-year customer contracts in our semiconductor solutions segment and infrastructure software segment, including contracts where customers do not have termination rights, contain firmly committed amounts and the remaining performance obligations under these contracts as of August 3, 2025 were approximately $27.5 billion. We expect approximately 34% of this amount to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. For contracts with termination for convenience rights, our customers generally do not exercise those rights. Accordingly, our remaining performance obligations disclosed above are not indicative of revenue for future periods.
3. Acquisitions
Acquisition of VMware, Inc.
On November 22, 2023, we completed the acquisition of VMware, Inc. (“VMware”) in a cash-and-stock transaction. The VMware stockholders received approximately $30,788 million in cash and 544 million shares of Broadcom common stock with a fair value of $53,398 million. VMware was a leading provider of multi-cloud services for all applications, enabling digital innovation with enterprise control. We acquired VMware to enhance our infrastructure software capabilities.

4. Supplemental Financial Information
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents included $1,564 million and $1,716 million of time deposits and $1,454 million and $1,171 million of money-market funds as of August 3, 2025 and November 3, 2024, respectively. For time deposits, carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of money-market funds, which was consistent with their carrying value, was determined using unadjusted prices in active, accessible markets for identical assets, and as such, they were classified as Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Accounts Receivable Factoring
We sell certain of our trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions pursuant to factoring arrangements. We account for these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring arrangements were $1,700 million and $5,651 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025, respectively, and $1,450 million and $3,950 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2024, respectively.

6. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Potentially dilutive shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) rights (collectively referred to as “equity awards”). Potentially dilutive shares whose effect would have been antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share.
The dilutive effect of equity awards is calculated based on the average stock price for each fiscal period, using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for purchasing shares under the ESPP and the amount of stock-based compensation expense for future service that we have not yet recognized are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
For the fiscal quarter ended August 4, 2024, diluted net income (loss) per share excluded the potentially dilutive effect of 159 million shares of weighted-average equity awards outstanding as their effect was antidilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computations for the periods presented:

Fixed-Rate Term Loans
We entered into a $750 million three-year term loan at a 4.489% fixed rate and a $1.0 billion three-year term loan at a 4.540% fixed rate on May 2, 2025 and May 9, 2025, respectively. Using the proceeds and cash on hand, we repaid the $750 million of senior notes that matured on May 15, 2025 and $3.4 billion of commercial paper during the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2025.
Interest on the term loans is due quarterly. We are permitted to prepay the term loans at any time, subject to a specified make-whole premium determined in accordance with the credit agreements governing the respective term loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Senior Notes
In July 2025, we issued senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of $6,000 million. Using the net proceeds from these senior notes, we repaid the remaining $6,000 million of our unsecured term facility due November 2028. Upon repayment, we terminated the credit agreement entered into on August 15, 2023.
In January 2025, we issued senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of $3,000 million. Using the net proceeds from these senior notes and commercial paper issued in January 2025 and cash on hand, we repaid the remaining $5,595 million of our unsecured term facility due November 2026 and $2,000 million of our unsecured term facility due November 2028.
As a result of these repayments, we wrote off unamortized discount and issuance costs of $53 million during the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2025, and $65 million during the fiscal quarter ended February 2, 2025, which were included in
interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We may redeem or purchase, in whole or in part, any of our senior notes prior to their respective maturities, subject to a specified make-whole premium determined in accordance with the indentures governing the respective notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of a change in control, note holders will have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each series of the senior notes pays interest semi-annually.
2025 Credit Agreement
In January 2025, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2025 Credit Agreement”), which provides for a five-year $7.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, of which $500 million is available for the issuance of multi-currency letters of credit. The issuance of letters of credit under the revolving credit facility would reduce the aggregate amount otherwise available under such facility for revolving loans. Subject to the terms of the 2025 Credit Agreement, we are permitted to borrow, repay and reborrow revolving loans at any time prior to the earlier of (a) January 13, 2030 or (b) the date that the commitments are terminated either at our request or, if an event of default occurs, by the lenders. In connection with the 2025 Credit Agreement, we terminated the credit agreement entered into in January 2021, which provided for a five-year $7.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. We had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility at either August 3, 2025 or November 3, 2024.
Commercial Paper
In January 2025, we increased the maximum amount of our commercial paper program, pursuant to which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.0 billion outstanding at any time with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. Commercial paper is sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear interest at rates dictated by market conditions at the time of issuance. The discount associated with the commercial paper is amortized to interest expense over its term. As of August 3, 2025, we had $500 million of commercial paper outstanding with maturities ranging from 40 days to 187 days.
Fair Value of Debt
As of August 3, 2025, the estimated aggregate fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings was $62,489 million, which was determined using quoted prices from less active markets or other observable inputs. The carrying value of commercial paper approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. All of our debt obligations are categorized as Level 2 instruments.
Future Principal Payments of Debt
The future scheduled principal payments of senior notes and term loans as of August 3, 2025 were as follows:
| Fiscal Year: | Future Scheduled Principal Payments | |||||||

Stock Repurchase Programs
In April 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $10 billion of our common stock from time to time through December 31, 2025. During the fiscal quarter ended May 4, 2025, we repurchased and retired 16 million shares of our common stock for $2,450 million under this stock repurchase program. Repurchases under this stock repurchase program may be effected through a variety of methods, including open market or privately negotiated purchases. The timing and amount of shares repurchased will depend on the stock price, business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities, acquisition opportunities and other factors. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific amount of shares of common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time.
In December 2021 and May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized stock repurchase programs to repurchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of our common stock from time to time prior to December 31, 2023. During the fiscal quarter ended February 4, 2024, we repurchased and retired 67 million shares of our common stock for $7,176 million, and all $20 billion of the aggregate authorized amount was utilized prior to expiration on December 31, 2023.

(a) Does not include stock-based compensation expense related to discontinued operations recognized during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2024, which was included in loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the fiscal quarter ended May 4, 2025, we granted two-year time- and market-based RSU 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 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.
As of August 3, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards was $25,057 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 3.6 years.
Equity Incentive Award Plans
A summary of time- and market-based RSU activity is as follows:
| Number of RSUs Outstanding | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions, except per share data) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Balance as of November 3, 2024 | 213 | $ | 66.44 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Balance as of August 3, 2025 | 247 | $ | 122.05 |
The aggregate fair value of time- and market-based RSUs that vested during the three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025 was $15,075 million, which represented the market value of our common stock on the date that the RSUs vested. The number of RSUs vested included shares of common stock that we withheld for settlement of employees’ tax obligations due upon the vesting of RSUs.
9. 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, certain capital expenditures, and changes to 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 $1,058 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 immediate expensing of qualifying property being effective in fiscal year 2025. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as more guidance becomes available.
The provision for income taxes was $1,145 million and $1,252 million for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025, respectively, and was primarily due to the impact from a valuation allowance against our CAMT credits, income before income taxes, and the jurisdictional mix of income, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards.
The provision for income taxes was $4,238 million and $4,190 million for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2024, respectively, and was primarily due to an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights during the fiscal quarter ended August 4, 2024 to the United States as a result of supply chain realignment and the resulting shift in the jurisdictional mix of income, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards.
As of August 3, 2025, we had $6,930 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties. Subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2025, certain statutes of limitations have lapsed. This is expected to reduce unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $3.1 billion in the fiscal quarter ending November 2, 2025, and by up to $3.5 billion within the next 12 months. As a result of these lapses of statutes of limitations, we estimate that we will recognize a discrete tax benefit of up to $2.1 billion during the fiscal quarter ending November 2, 2025. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of these lapses of statutes of limitations on our estimated annual effective tax rate and income tax provision.
10. Segment Information
Reportable Segments
We have two reportable segments: semiconductor solutions and infrastructure software. Each segment has separate financial information that is utilized on a regular basis by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. The reportable segments are determined based on several factors including, but not limited to, customer base, homogeneity of products, technology, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics.
Semiconductor solutions. Our semiconductor solutions are used in a wide array of environments, end products and applications such as AI and enterprise data centers, servers, networking and connectivity equipment, storage systems, home connectivity devices, set-top boxes, broadband access, telecommunication equipment, smartphones and base stations, factory automation, power generation and alternative energy systems, and electronic displays. Our semiconductor solutions segment also includes our IP licensing.
Infrastructure software. We provide a portfolio of software solutions that help enterprises simplify their IT environments so they can increase business velocity and flexibility, and enable customers to plan, develop, deliver, automate, manage and secure applications across mainframe, distributed, edge, mobile, and private and hybrid cloud platforms. Our portfolio of infrastructure and security software is designed to modernize, optimize, and secure the most complex private and hybrid cloud environments, enabling scalability, agility, automation, insights, resiliency and security making it easy for customers to run their mission-critical workloads. We also offer mission-critical FC SAN products and related software.
Our CODM assesses the performance of each segment and allocates resources to each segment based on net revenue and operating results and does not evaluate each segment using discrete asset information. Operating results by segment include items that are directly attributable to each segment and also include shared expenses such as marketing, general and administrative activities, facilities and IT expenses. Shared expenses are primarily allocated based on revenue and headcount.
Unallocated Expenses
Unallocated expenses include amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, and other costs, which are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to, our segments. Acquisition-related costs include transaction costs and any costs directly related to the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses.
Depreciation expense directly attributable to each reportable segment is included in the operating results of each segment. However, the CODM does not evaluate depreciation expense by operating segment and, therefore, it is not separately presented. There was no inter-segment revenue for any of the periods presented. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The following table summarizes contractual obligations and commitments as of August 3, 2025:
| Fiscal Year: | Purchase Commitments | Other Contractual Commitments | ||||||||||||
| (In millions) | ||||||||||||||
| 2025 (remainder) | $ | 106 | $ | 264 | ||||||||||

| 2029 | 4 | 718 | ||||||||||||
| Thereafter | — | 1,027 | ||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 235 | $ | 3,777 |
Purchase Commitments. Represent unconditional purchase obligations to purchase goods or services, primarily inventory, that are enforceable and legally binding on us and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty and unconditional purchase obligations with a remaining term of one year or less.
Other Contractual Commitments. Represent amounts payable pursuant to agreements related to IT and other service agreements.
Due to the inherent uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash outflows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits as of August 3, 2025, we are unable to reliably estimate the timing of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, $3,817 million of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties as of August 3, 2025 have been excluded from the table above.
Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in litigation that we believe is of the type common to companies engaged in our lines of business, including commercial disputes, employment issues, tax disputes and disputes involving claims by third parties that our activities infringe their patent, copyright, trademark or other IP rights, as well as regulatory investigations or inquiries. Legal proceedings and regulatory investigations or inquiries are often complex, may require the expenditure of significant funds and other resources, and the outcomes of such proceedings are inherently uncertain, with material adverse outcomes possible. IP property claims generally involve the demand by a third-party that we cease the manufacture, use or sale of the allegedly infringing products, processes or technologies and/or pay substantial damages or royalties for past, present and future use of the allegedly infringing IP. Claims that our products or processes infringe or misappropriate any third-party IP rights (including claims arising through our contractual indemnification of our customers) often involve highly complex, technical issues, the outcome of which is inherently uncertain. Moreover, from time to time, we pursue litigation to assert our IP rights. Regardless of the merit or resolution of any such litigation, complex IP litigation is generally costly and diverts the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel.
Lawsuits Relating to VMware Backlog
On March 31, 2020, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against VMware and certain former officers of VMware in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “California Court”). On September 18, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint alleging that VMware’s statements about backlog and the related internal controls during the period from August 2018 through February 2020 were materially misleading. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which was granted with leave to amend on September 10, 2021. On October 8, 2021, the plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Consolidated Complaint based on the same alleged disclosure deficiencies. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint was filed on November 5, 2021. On April 2, 2023, the California Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss finding that the plaintiffs had adequately stated claims under Sections 10 and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The parties have agreed to settlement terms and in March 2025 the California Court approved the settlement.
Other Matters
We are currently engaged in a number of legal actions in the ordinary course of our business.
Contingency Assessment
We do not believe, based on currently available facts and circumstances, that the final outcome of any pending legal proceedings, ongoing regulatory investigations or tax disputes, taken individually or as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, lawsuits may involve complex questions of fact and law and may require the expenditure of significant funds and other resources to defend. The results of litigation, regulatory investigations or tax disputes are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible. From time to time, we may enter into confidential discussions regarding the potential settlement of such lawsuits. Any settlement of pending litigation could require us to incur substantial costs and other ongoing expenses, such as future royalty payments in the case of an IP dispute.
During the periods presented, no material amounts have been accrued or disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to loss contingencies associated with any other legal proceedings, regulatory investigations or tax disputes, as potential losses for such matters are not considered probable and ranges of losses are not reasonably estimable. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and the ultimate outcomes are not predictable. There can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy any liabilities arising from the matters described above will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other Indemnifications
As is customary in our industry and as provided for in local law in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, many of our standard contracts provide remedies to our customers and others with whom we enter into contracts, such as defense, settlement, or payment of judgment for IP claims related to the use of our products. From time to time, we indemnify customers, as well as our suppliers, contractors, lessors, lessees, companies that purchase our businesses or assets and others with whom we enter into contracts, against combinations of loss, expense, or liability arising from various triggering events related to the sale and the use of our products, the use of their goods and services, the use of facilities and state of our owned facilities, the state of the assets and businesses that we sell and other matters covered by such contracts, usually up to a specified maximum amount. In addition, from time to time we also provide protection to these parties against claims related to undiscovered liabilities, additional product liabilities or environmental obligations. In our experience, claims made under such indemnifications are rare and the associated estimated fair value of the liability is not material.
12. Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring Charges
The following table summarizes the significant activities within, and components of, the restructuring liabilities during the three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025:
| Employee Termination Costs | Lease and Impairment Costs | Total | ||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Balance as of November 3, 2024 | $ | 119 | $ | — | $ | 119 | ||||||||||||||

| Utilization | (389) | (141) | (530) | |||||||||||||||||
| Balance as of August 3, 2025 | $ | 32 | $ | — | $ | 32 |
In connection with the acquisition of VMware, we initiated restructuring activities to integrate the acquired business, align our workforce and improve efficiencies in our operations. We recognized restructuring charges related to employee termination costs of $108 million and $302 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025, respectively, and $294 million and $1,270 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2024, respectively.
We also recognized impairment charges primarily related to lease assets and property, plant and equipment of $35 million and $141 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025, respectively, and $67 million and $148 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 4, 2024, respectively. We expect these restructuring activities to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2025. These charges were recognized primarily in operating expenses.
Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges for the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2025 included a $70 million non-recurring impairment charge related to an asset held-for-sale.
13. Subsequent Events
Cash Dividends Declared
On September 3, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.59 per share on our common stock, payable on September 30, 2025 to stockholders of record on September 22, 2025.
