Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by NetScout Systems, Inc. (NetScout or the Company). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and stockholders' equity, results of operations and cash flows. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data and statement of stockholders' equity were derived from the Company's audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results reported in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025. Global and Macroeconomic Conditions The Company continues to closely monitor the current global and macroeconomic conditions, including the impacts of the ongoing war in Ukraine and hostilities in the Middle East, global geopolitical tension, stock market volatility, industry-specific capital spending trends, exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, interest rates, international trade relations (including trade protection measures, such as tariffs and other trade barriers), impacts associated with the U.S. Government shutdown, and the risk of a recession, including the manner and extent to which they have impacted and could continue to impact its business, customers, employees, supply chain, and distribution network. The full extent of the impacts of these global and macroeconomic trends remain uncertain. It is possible that the measures taken by the governments of countries affected and the resulting economic impacts may materially and adversely affect the Company's future results of operations, cash flows and financial position, as well as its customers. The Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company remains optimistic but cognizant of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and constrained customer spending in the service provider market and remains firmly focused on driving product innovation, returning to annual revenue growth, and enhancing margins through continued disciplined cost management as it navigates the current macroeconomic landscape that may persist through fiscal year 2026. In addition to its cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and investments, based on covenant levels, as of September 30, 2025, the Company had $600 million available under a revolving credit facility. The Company expects net cash provided by operations combined with cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and investments and borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility to provide sufficient liquidity to fund current obligations, capital spending, debt service requirements and working capital requirements over at least the next twelve months. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization that are included on the face of the statements of income. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year ending March 31, 2028. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures for decision-making. The amendments address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The practical expedient allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. ASU 2025-05 should be applied on a prospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and does not expect the adoption of 2025-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles (Subtopic 350-40): Update to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to software project development stages and clarifies the recognition threshold, entities must meet to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year ending March 31, 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
