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 semiconductor-based solutions and infrastructure software solutions. Our semiconductor and semiconductor-based solutions include a broad portfolio of complex digital and mixed signal devices based on silicon wafers with complementary metal oxide semiconductor transistors, III-V based devices, network interface cards and other modules, switches, and subsystems. Our solutions are used in a wide array of environments, end products and applications, such as enterprise and artificial intelligence (“AI”) data centers, servers and networking and connectivity equipment, as well as storage systems, home connectivity devices, set-top boxes, broadband access, telecommunication equipment, wireless devices 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. Our customers rely on our infrastructure and security software solutions to modernize, optimize, and secure the most complex private cloud, hybrid cloud and edge environments. This enables 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.
Basis of Presentation
We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to October 31. Our fiscal years ending November 1, 2026 (“fiscal year 2026”) and November 2, 2025 (“fiscal year 2025”) are both 52-week fiscal years.
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 2, 2025 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 2025 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 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2026, or for any other future period.
Certain prior period amounts reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 2. “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for additional information.
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.
Reclassifications to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
For software arrangements without termination for convenience provisions, we recognize revenue for the license portion of the agreements upfront upon transfer of control to the customer, referred to as upfront license revenue. In the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026, we included upfront license revenue of $3,465 million and $7,184 million, respectively, within products revenue, and the related costs, which were immaterial, in cost of products sold, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. To conform to the current period presentation, we reclassified $1,916 million and $5,691 million of upfront license revenue from subscriptions and services revenue to products revenue for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025, respectively. We also reclassified the related costs for the upfront license revenue, which were immaterial for the periods presented.
In the revenue disaggregation tables by type and by region presented below, we included $2,181 million, $320 million and $964 million of upfront license revenue in products revenue within the Americas; Asia Pacific; and Europe, the Middle East and Africa regions, respectively, for the fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2026. We included $4,698 million, $581 million and $1,905 million of upfront license revenue in products revenue within the Americas; Asia Pacific; and Europe, the Middle East and Africa regions, respectively, for the three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026.
To conform to the current period presentation, we reclassified $1,269 million, $204 million and $443 million of upfront license revenue from subscriptions and services revenue to products revenue within the Americas; Asia Pacific; and Europe, the Middle East and Africa regions, respectively, for the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2025. We reclassified $3,970 million, $446 million and $1,275 million of upfront license revenue from subscriptions and services revenue to products revenue within the Americas; Asia Pacific; and Europe, the Middle East and Africa regions, respectively, for the three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025.
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 9. “Segment Information.”
The following tables present revenue disaggregated by type 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 2, 2026 | November 2, 2025 | |||||||||||||
| (In millions) | ||||||||||||||
| Contract Assets | $ | 11,901 | $ | 8,922 | ||||||||||
| Contract Liabilities | $ | 13,124 | $ | 13,016 |
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 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 billing the customer.
As of August 2, 2026, approximately 58% of contract liabilities related to contracts subject to termination for convenience provisions. The amount of revenue recognized during the three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026 that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of November 2, 2025 was $8,309 million. 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.
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. 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 2, 2026 were approximately $179.2 billion. These commitments include obligations under a long-term contract for custom AI accelerators entered in the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2026. We expect approximately 25% of this amount to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months.
Remaining performance obligations 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. For contracts with termination for convenience rights, our customers generally do not exercise those rights. 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”). Accordingly, our remaining performance obligations disclosed above are not indicative of revenue for future periods.
3. Supplemental Financial Information
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents included $5,050 million and $3,163 million of time deposits and $5,251 million and $2,239 million of money-market funds as of August 2, 2026 and November 2, 2025, 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.
As of August 2, 2026, cash equivalents also included $2,987 million of U.S. Treasury Bills which were carried at fair value. Due to the short-term nature of the instruments, their amortized cost approximates fair value. As of August 2, 2026, $895 million and $2,092 million of the U.S. Treasury Bills were classified as Level 1 assets and Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy, respectively, depending on whether the instruments were traded in active or less active markets.
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 $1,600 million and $3,950 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026, respectively, and $1,700 million and $5,651 million during the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025, respectively.

5. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income 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 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.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods presented:

Senior Notes
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. With the exception of the senior notes issued in September 2025 and January 2026, 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. Interest is paid semi-annually.
During the fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2026, we repurchased a total of $5,641 million of our senior notes through cash tender offers and redemptions. During the three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026, we issued senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of $4,500 million and repaid and repurchased a total of $10,541 million of our senior notes.
Fixed-Rate Term Loans
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.
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. We had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility at either August 2, 2026 or November 2, 2025.
Commercial Paper
Under our commercial paper program, 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. We had no commercial paper outstanding at either August 2, 2026 or November 2, 2025.
Fair Value of Debt
As of August 2, 2026, the estimated aggregate fair value of our debt was $55,990 million, which was determined using quoted prices from less active markets or other observable inputs. All of our debt obligations are categorized as Level 2 instruments in the fair value hierarchy.
Future Principal Payments of Debt
The future scheduled principal payments of our debt as of August 2, 2026 were as follows:

In March 2026, 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, 2026. During the three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026 and August 3, 2025, we repurchased and retired 25 million and 16 million shares for $8,450 million and $2,450 million, respectively. As of August 2, 2026, $10.1 billion of the authorized amount remained available for repurchase.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 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 of the Two-Year Equity Awards 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 2, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards was $18,221 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 2.9 years.

The aggregate fair value of RSUs that vested during the three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026 was $19,854 million, which represented the market value of our common stock on the date that the RSUs vested.
8. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $2,187 million and $3,853 million for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026, respectively, compared to $1,145 million and $1,252 million for the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2025, respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes in both the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2026, as compared to the prior year fiscal periods, was primarily due to higher income before income taxes.
9. Segment Information
Reportable Segments
We have two reportable segments: semiconductor solutions and infrastructure software. Each segment has separate financial information. The CODM considers actual and expected results of regularly provided net revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses and operating income by segment during the budgeting and forecasting processes to support strategic decision-making and to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to each of the segments. Operating income by segment includes items that are directly attributable to each segment and shared expenses such as marketing, general and administrative activities, facilities and IT expenses. Shared expenses are primarily allocated based on revenue and headcount.
Semiconductor solutions. Our semiconductor solutions are used in a wide array of environments, end products and applications such as enterprise and AI data centers, servers and networking and connectivity equipment, as well as storage systems, home connectivity devices, set-top boxes, broadband access, telecommunication equipment, wireless devices 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. Our infrastructure software solutions include revenues from software arrangements, related support, and professional services that help enterprises simplify their IT environments. Our customers rely on our infrastructure and security software solutions to modernize, optimize, and secure the most complex private cloud, hybrid cloud and edge environments. This enables 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.
Stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, and acquisition-related costs are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to, our segments and therefore are not allocated to each segment. The CODM does not evaluate each segment using discrete asset information. 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 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 2025.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The following table summarizes contractual commitments as of August 2, 2026:
| Fiscal Year: | Purchase Commitments | Other Contractual Commitments | ||||||||||||
| (In millions) | ||||||||||||||
| 2026 (remainder) | $ | 1,110 | $ | 313 | ||||||||||

| Total | $ | 126,821 | $ | 3,941 |
Purchase Commitments. Represent unconditional purchase commitments 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 commitments exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty and unconditional purchase commitments 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 2, 2026, we are unable to reliably estimate the timing of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, $1,755 million of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties as of August 2, 2026 have been excluded from the table above.
Financial Guarantee
During the fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2026, we arranged for a financial partner to take on certain agreements to purchase AI racks based on custom AI accelerators designed by us and the related lease agreements with a customer that enable access to compute capacity.
In connection with this arrangement, we entered into a backstop agreement with the financial partner for the customer’s lease obligations over the 5-year lease terms (the “Backstop”). The total Backstop amount increases as the AI racks are delivered and deployed and decreases as the customer makes payments on its lease obligations. In the event of a lease default by the customer, our Backstop liability will be equal to any difference between 85% of the outstanding amounts owed on the lease Backstop and the value of the AI racks received upon sale of the assets at that time. Remedies to limit our total liability exposure in a lease default include the assumption of the applicable lease, reselling the AI racks back to the seller at a fixed price under certain conditions or arranging a sale of the applicable AI racks.
Our maximum potential liability under the Backstop upon the deployment of all AI racks, on an undiscounted basis, was approximately $29 billion. The fair value of the Backstop was not material. No amounts have been paid under the Backstop.
Convertible Notes
In connection with lease agreements that enable access to compute capacity, our customer may, under certain circumstances and if needed, issue to us convertible promissory notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $42 billion. The notes are subject to various conditions, including the requirement to use the notes or proceeds from the notes, if any, solely for the customer’s obligations under the lease agreements. As of August 2, 2026, no notes have been issued to us.
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 but not limited to 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 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.
Contingency Assessment
We are currently engaged in a number of legal actions in the ordinary course of our business; however, 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.
11. Subsequent Events
Cash Dividends Declared
On September 1, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per share on our common stock, payable on September 30, 2026 to stockholders of record on September 21, 2026.
