_____________________________

(a) As of November 2, 2025 and November 3, 2024, outstanding restructured lease liabilities of $172 million and $192 million, respectively, were primarily included in long-term lease liabilities within other long-term liabilities.

In connection with the VMware Merger, we initiated restructuring activities to integrate the acquired business, align our workforce and improve efficiencies in our operations. Restructuring charges in fiscal years 2025 and 2024 primarily related to employee termination costs. We also recognized lease and impairment charges primarily related to lease assets and property, plant and equipment of $169 million and $277 million during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. We have substantially completed these restructuring activities. These charges were recognized primarily in operating expenses.

Other Charges

Restructuring and other charges in our consolidated statements of operations included a $70 million non-recurring impairment charge related to an asset held-for-sale during fiscal year 2025 and $204 million of non-recurring charges related to IP litigation during fiscal year 2023
