Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of a significant amount of earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates below the United States (U.S.) statutory rate which is offset by non-deductible stock-based compensation and state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 25, 2025 includes a decrease in discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), was signed into law in the United States. The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including the extension of key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and modifications to the international tax framework. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in our fiscal year 2026 and others phased in through our fiscal year 2027. We are still in the process of evaluating the impact of the OBBB on our financial statements, but an estimate of the financial impact has been included in our operating results for the three months ended July 25, 2025. The OBBB did not have a material impact to our income tax provision for the three months ended July 25, 2025.

 

We are currently subject to Pillar Two rules relating to a global minimum tax enacted by The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). As of July 25, 2025, Pillar Two taxes do not have a significant impact on our financial statements, particularly due to the safe harbor relief during the transition period, but we are still closely monitoring developments.

We are currently undergoing various income tax audits in the U.S. and audits in several foreign tax jurisdictions. Transfer pricing calculations are key topics under these audits and are often subject to dispute and appeals.

We continue to monitor the progress of ongoing discussions with tax authorities and the impact, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions. We engage in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in multiple jurisdictions. We believe that within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude, certain statutes of limitations will lapse, or both. As a result of uncertainties regarding tax audits and their possible outcomes, an estimate of the range of possible impacts to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months cannot be made at this time.

As of July 25, 2025, we had $69 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Inclusive of penalties, interest and certain income tax benefits, $48 million of net unrecognized tax benefits would affect our provision for income taxes if recognized and have been recorded in other long-term liabilities.
