Commitments and Certain Contingencies [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CERTAIN CONTINGENCIES | 12. COMMITMENTS AND CERTAIN CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments We lease certain facilities, furniture and equipment under operating leases. As of May 31, 2016, future minimum annual operating lease payments and future minimum payments to be received from non-cancelable subleases were as follows:
(in millions) |  |  |
Fiscal 2017 |  | $ | 328
Fiscal 2018 |  |  | 273
Fiscal 2019 |  |  | 211
Fiscal 2020 |  |  | 152
Fiscal 2021 |  |  | 110
Thereafter |  |  | 164
Future minimum operating lease payments |  |  | 1,238
Less: minimum payments to be received from non-cancelable subleases |  |  | (57)
Total future minimum operating lease payments, net |  | $ | 1,181
Lease commitments included future minimum rent payments for facilities that we have vacated pursuant to our restructuring and merger integration activities, as discussed in Note 9. We have approximately $54 million in facility obligations, net of estimated sublease income and other costs, in accrued restructuring for these locations in our consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2016. Rent expense was $283 million, $290 million and $278 million for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, net of sublease income of approximately $45 million for each of fiscal 2016 and 2015, and $55 million for fiscal 2014. Certain lease agreements contain renewal options providing for extensions of the lease terms. Unconditional Obligations In the ordinary course of business, we enter into certain unconditional purchase obligations with our suppliers, which are agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and specify terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the payment. We utilize several external manufacturers to manufacture sub-assemblies for our hardware products and to perform final assembly and testing of finished hardware products. We also obtain individual components for our hardware products from a variety of individual suppliers based on projected demand information. Such purchase commitments are based on our forecasted component and manufacturing requirements and typically provide for fulfillment within agreed upon lead-times and/or commercially standard lead-times for the particular part or product and have been included in the amounts below. Routine arrangements for other materials and goods that are not related to our external manufacturers and certain other suppliers and that are entered into in the ordinary course of business are not included in the amounts below, as they are generally entered into in order to secure pricing or other negotiated terms and are difficult to quantify in a meaningful way. As of May 31, 2016, our unconditional purchase and certain other obligations were as follows (in millions):
Fiscal 2017 |  | $ | 574
Fiscal 2018 |  |  | 153
Fiscal 2019 |  |  | 91
Fiscal 2020 |  |  | 68
Fiscal 2021 |  |  | 8
Total |  | $ | 894
As described in Note 8 and Note 11 above, as of May 31, 2016 we have senior notes and other borrowings of $43.9 billion that mature at various future dates and derivative financial instruments outstanding that we leverage to manage certain risks and exposures. Guarantees Our software, cloud and hardware product sales agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any material liabilities related to such obligations in our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our product sales agreements also include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities in the event we breach confidentiality or service level requirements. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to our limited and infrequent history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Our software license and hardware products agreements also generally include a warranty that our products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of one year after delivery. Our SaaS, PaaS and IaaS agreements generally include a warranty that the cloud services will be performed in all material respects as defined in the agreement during the service period. We also warrant that services we perform will be provided in a manner consistent with industry standards for a period of 90 days from performance of the services. We occasionally are required, for various reasons, to enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business including, among others, guarantees related to taxes, import licenses and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
