In addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K [removed: (“2015] [added: (“2016] Form 10-K”), the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company and its business because such factors may significantly impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

As a result of the issuance of our 2020 and 2025 Senior Notes, our 2016 and 2018 Convertible Notes, and the assumption of the 2041 Convertible Notes in connection with our acquisition of Novellus Systems, Inc. (collectively the “Notes”), we have a greater amount of debt than we have maintained in the past.
Furthermore, in March 2014, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement providing us with the ability to borrow up to $300 million (and, under certain circumstances, to increase such availability to $500 million).

This increase was primarily the result of $992 million net proceeds from March 2015 Senior Notes issuance.

| China | | | 12% | | | | 15% | | | | 9% | |
Our shipments to memory customers remained strong during fiscal year 2015 driven by mobile and enterprise demands.
During fiscal year 2014, memory customer demand was higher due to node transitions in memory manufacturing, stable pricing for memory, and tight industry supply.

Additionally, the Novellus acquisition related inventory fair value impact and cost associated with rationalization of certain product configurations decreased by $78 million and $15 million, respectively, in fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013.

The increase in R&D expense during fiscal year 2014 compared to fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to a $41 million increase in salaries and benefits related to higher headcount and higher incentive and equity compensation offset by a reduction of $7 million in supplies.
| Percent of total revenue | | | 11.2% | | | | 13.3% | | | | 16.7% | | | | \-2.1% | | | | | | | | \-3.4% | | | | | |
The increase in SG&A expense during fiscal year 2014 compared to fiscal year 2013 was due primarily to a net increase of $11 million in salaries, benefits and incentive compensation, $20 million increase in marketing expenses and outside services, $7 million in costs associated with rationalization of certain product configurations, $8 million of impairment of long lived assets, and a $5 million cost related to the renewal of our Fremont and Livermore buildings’ operating leases.
This increase was offset by a $34 million reduction in integration costs and a $10 million reduction in amortization of intangible assets related to the Novellus integration.
Other, net expenses during fiscal year 2013 included a $4 million other-than-temporary impairment of a public equity investment recognized during the March 2013 quarter.
| Effective tax rate | | | 11.5% | | | | 12.6% | | | | \-70.8% | |
The increase in the effective tax rate in fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to the change in the level of income and geographic mix of income between higher and lower tax jurisdictions, U.S. income and applicable foreign withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings of certain of our foreign subsidiaries for 2014, reduced tax benefit in fiscal year 2014 due to the expiration of the federal research and development tax credit as of December 31, 2013, and tax benefits in fiscal year 2013 related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the statute of limitations and successful resolution of certain tax matters.
Our fiscal years 2015 and 2014 valuation allowance of $86 million and $74 million primarily relate to California and certain foreign deferred tax assets.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements are described in Note 2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Some of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies.
_Inventory Valuation:_ Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using standard costs that approximate actual costs on a first-in, first-out basis.
Finished goods are reported as inventories until the point of title transfer to the customer.
Unless specified in the terms of sale, title generally transfers at the physical transfer of the products to the freight carriers.
Transfer of title for shipments to Japanese customers occurs at the time of customer acceptance.

We enter into foreign currency forward [added: and option] contracts to minimize the short-term impact of [removed: foreign currency] exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily third party accounts receivables, accounts payables and intercompany receivables and payables.
To protect against the reduction in value of anticipated revenues denominated in Japanese yen and euro-denominated and Korean won-denominated expenses, we enter into foreign currency forward [added: and option] contracts that generally expire within 12 months, and no later than 24 months.
These foreign currency [removed: forward] [added: hedge] contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and are carried on our balance sheet at fair value, with the effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings in the same period the hedged revenue and/or expense is recognized.

In May 2015, we announced an increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.30 per share, which is payable in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

| Fourth Quarter | | $ | 67.85 | | | $ | 50.54 | |
During the three months ended September 28, 2014, we entered into a collared accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) transaction under a master repurchase arrangement.
Under the ASR, we made an up-front cash payment of $250 million, in exchange for an initial delivery of approximately 3.2 million shares of our Common Stock.
The number of shares repurchased was based on the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the term of the ASR minus a pre-determined discount set at inception of the ASR, subject to collar provisions that provided a minimum and maximum number of shares that we could repurchase under the agreements.
The minimum and maximum thresholds for the transaction were established based on the average of the VWAP prices for the Common Stock during an initial hedge period.
The ASR was scheduled to end at any time on or after October 8, 2014 and on or before December 8, 2014.
The counterparty designated October 9, 2014 as the termination date, at which time we settled the ASR.
Approximately 0.3 million shares were received at final settlement, which represented a weighted-average share price of approximately $72.90 for the transaction period.

well as the tax effect of carryforwards.
The Company did not record any goodwill impairment in fiscal years 2014 or 2013.
Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows
In July 2013, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The new standard requires that an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or other tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law.
The Company adopted this standard during the fiscal year without significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In April 2014, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update 2014-8 “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The new standard re-defines discontinued operations and requires only those disposals of components of an entity, including classifications as held for sale, that represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results to be reported as discontinued operations.
In addition, the new standard expands the disclosure requirements of discontinued operations.
(ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per the standard.
Note 4: Reclassifications
Certain amounts in fiscal years 2014 and 2013 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2015 presentation.
