Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of the Company Sandisk Corporation (“Sandisk, or ” the “Company”) is a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of data storage devices and solutions based on NAND flash technology. With a differentiated innovation engine driving advancements in storage and semiconductor technologies, Sandisk’s broad and ever-expanding portfolio delivers powerful flash storage solutions for AI workloads in datacenters, edge devices, and consumers. Sandisk’s technologies enable everyone from students, gamers, and home offices to the largest enterprises and public clouds to produce, analyze, and store data. The Company’s solutions include a broad range of solid state drives, embedded products, removable cards, universal serial bus drives and wafers and components. The Company’s broad portfolio of technology and products addresses multiple end markets of “Cloud,” “Client” and Consumer.” The Company operates primarily in the United States (“U.S.”), and also internationally, with a significant concentration in the Asia Pacific region. On October 30, 2023, Western Digital Corporation (“WDC”) announced that its board of directors (the “WDC Board of Directors”) authorized WDC management to pursue a plan to separate the Company into an independent public company (the “separation” or the “spin-off”). The separation received final approval by the WDC Board of Directors and was completed on February 21, 2025. Prior to February 21, 2025, the Company was wholly owned by WDC. On February 24, 2025, following the separation, the Company began trading as an independent, publicly traded company under the stock symbol “SNDK” on Nasdaq. WDC executed the spin-off of the Company through WDC’s pro rata distribution of 116,035,464, or 80.1%, of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock to holders of WDC’s common stock as of the close of business on February 21, 2025. Each WDC stockholder received one-third (1/3) of one share of the Company’s common stock for each share of WDC’s common stock held by such WDC stockholder as of February 12, 2025, the record date of the distribution. Upon completion of the separation, WDC owned 28,827,787 or 19.9% of the shares of the Company’s common stock. On June 6, 2025, WDC disposed of 21,314,768 or 14.6% of the Company’s common stock through an exchange of Sandisk’s common stock for WDC debt held by WDC creditors. In connection with the separation, on February 21, 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with WDC that set forth the terms and conditions of the spin-off and provided a framework for the relationship between WDC and the Company following the separation. These agreements include the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains certain key provisions related to the spin-off, as well as a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, an Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement, a Transitional Trademark License Agreement, and a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, as described in and filed as Exhibits to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on February 24, 2025 and incorporated by reference to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additionally, the Company adopted certain compensation plans filed as Exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 25, 2024, and as further amended thereafter and declared effective on January 31, 2025 (as amended, the “Form 10”). The Company also entered into various sublease agreements and established a stock compensation incentive plan in connection with the separation. On February 21, 2025, in connection with the separation, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that remains undrawn to date, and a $2.0 billion term loan facility due in 2032. The Company used a portion of the proceeds received from the term loan facility and cash on hand to make a net distribution payment of $1.5 billion to WDC in exchange for assets, liabilities, and certain legal entities of WDC associated with the Company. After the separation, outstanding restricted stock units (“RSU”) and performance stock units (“PSU”) previously granted by WDC to employees of the Company were adjusted per the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement, in an attempt to maintain the economic value of those awards before and after the separation. Generally, continuing Sandisk employees with outstanding RSU awards held as of the spin-off date were converted solely to equivalent RSU awards of the Company, and any outstanding WDC RSU awards held as of the spin-off date were canceled. Outstanding RSU and PSU awards at the time of the spin-off, held by employees at levels equal to Vice President and above, were converted into RSU and PSU awards of both the Company and WDC. Basis of Presentation On February 21, 2025, the Company became a standalone publicly-traded company, and the Company’s financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. Prior to the separation, the Company’s historical combined financial information was derived from WDC’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and prepared as if the Company existed on a standalone basis. The financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to February 21, 2025, are now referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements” and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and policies and practices that are generally accepted in the industry in which it operates. The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized below. Basis of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounts of these foreign subsidiaries have been remeasured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Gains or losses resulting from the remeasurement of these accounts from local currencies into U.S. dollars were immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted average exchange rate for each period for statement of operations items. Translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity. Unless otherwise noted, all figures within the Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and millions. Periods Prior to the Separation Prior to the separation on February 21, 2025, the Company was an operating segment of WDC. Consequently, standalone financial statements were not historically prepared for the Company. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared based upon WDC’s historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records. They were presented on a standalone basis as if the Company’s operations had been conducted independently from WDC. The Company utilized allocations and carve-out methodologies to prepare these historical Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements included the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company and were prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Company adopted accounting policies and practices generally accepted in the industry in which it operates. Intercompany transactions were eliminated. With the exception of balances associated with lending arrangements reflected within Notes due to (from) Western Digital Corporation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, transactions between the Company and WDC were generally considered to be effectively settled in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions was reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Net investment from Western Digital Corporation. General financing activities included the net impact of any cash movements resulting from WDC’s centralized treasury cash management. The Consolidated Balance Sheets included all assets and liabilities that were identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. Assets and liabilities shared between the Company and WDC were included in the standalone financial statements to the extent that the asset was primarily used by the Company. If the Company was not the primary user of the asset, it was excluded entirely from the Consolidated Financial Statements. WDC historically used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations, as needed. Certain of the Company’s cash was transferred to WDC according to centrally managed cash programs by treasury, and WDC funded the Company’s operating and investing activities, as needed. Cash transfers to and from WDC’s cash management accounts were reflected as a component of the Net investment from Western Digital Corporation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily represented cash held locally by entities included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. None of the debt obligations of WDC or corresponding interest expense were included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company was neither the legal obligor nor transferee for any portion of such debt. WDC’s debt obligations were secured by a lien on substantially all assets and properties of WDC and certain key subsidiaries, which included assets and properties of the Company prior to the completion of the separation. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) included all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Company as well as an allocation of expenses related to facilities, functions, and services provided by WDC. Allocation of general corporate expenses from WDC included, but was not limited to, executive management, finance, tax, legal, information technology, employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement, and other shared services. These corporate expenses were allocated to the Company based on direct usage or benefit, where identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on headcount, revenue, or other relevant measures. The allocated costs were deemed to be settled between the Company and WDC in the period in which the expense was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present these corporate expenses as cash flows from operating activities, as these costs were incurred by WDC on the Company’s behalf. The Company considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to, the Company. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred as a standalone company for the periods presented. Additionally, these costs may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Company had obtained these services from an unrelated third party. It is not practicable to estimate the actual costs that would have been incurred had the Company been a standalone company during the periods presented. The actual costs that may have been incurred would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and decisions with respect to areas such as facilities, information technology, and operating infrastructure. WDC maintains various stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. Employees of the Company participated in those programs, and a portion of the compensation costs associated with those plans was included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Before the spin-off, stock-based compensation expense was included within Net investment from Western Digital Corporation. The amounts presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of future awards and may not reflect the results that the Company would have experienced as a standalone entity. Current and deferred income taxes and related tax expenses were determined based on the standalone results of the Company by applying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, Income Taxes, to the Company’s operations in each country as if it were a separate taxpayer (i.e., following the “Separate Return Methodology”). Periods Post Separation After the separation on February 21, 2025, the Company’s financial statements for the period from February 22, 2025, through June 27, 2025, are consolidated financial statements based on the Company’s reported results as a standalone company. All significant transactions and accounts between controlled entities within the Company were eliminated. Following the separation, certain functions continue to be provided by or for WDC under the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) for up to fifteen months or are being performed using the Company’s own resources or third-party service providers. As of June 27, 2025, charges under the TSA were not material. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to June 30 and typically consists of 52 weeks. Approximately every five to six years, we report a 53-week fiscal year to align the fiscal year with the foregoing policy. Fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, which ended on June 27, 2025, June 28, 2024, and June 30, 2023, are each comprised of 52 weeks, with all quarters presented consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2026 will be comprised of 52 weeks and end on July 3, 2026. Unless otherwise indicated, references herein to specific years and quarters are to fiscal years and fiscal quarters, and references to financial information are on a consolidated basis. Segment Reporting The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells data storage devices and solutions based on NAND flash technology in the United States (“U.S.”) and in foreign countries through its sales personnel, dealers, distributors, retailers, and subsidiaries. The Company manages and reports its business operations under a single reportable operating segment. Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and are evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM, evaluates the performance of the Company and makes resource allocation decisions for its single reportable operating segment based upon the Company’s consolidated net income (loss). The CODM considers variances of actual performance to forecasted amounts when making decisions. Asset information is not used by the CODM to evaluate performance or allocate resources. See Note 9, Segment Reporting, for additional disclosures. Use of Estimates Management has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of certain assets and liabilities in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions have been applied using methodologies that are consistent throughout the periods presented, with consideration given to the potential impacts of current macroeconomic conditions, including the evolving impacts from tariffs. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Business Separation Costs The Company has incurred separation and transition costs related to the completion of its separation from WDC. The separation and transition costs are recorded in Business separation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash Equivalents The Company’s cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments in money market funds, which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government agency securities as well as time deposits with original maturities at purchase of three months or less. These deposits are maintained at financial institutions which may exceed U.S. federal insured limits. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Equity Investments The Company enters into certain strategic investments for the promotion of business and strategic objectives. The equity method of accounting is used if the Company’s ownership interest is greater than or equal to 20.0% but less than a majority or where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. The Company’s equity in the earnings or losses in equity-method investments is recognized in Other income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Equity earnings or losses in the Company’s equity method investments (as defined in Note 10, Related Parties and Related Commitments and Contingencies) are reported on a three-month lag. If the Company’s ownership interest is less than 20.0% and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee, the Company accounts for these investments at fair value, or if these equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, these securities are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. These investments are recorded in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are periodically analyzed to determine whether or not impairment indicators exist. Variable Interest Entities The Company evaluates its investments and other significant relationships to determine whether any investee is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the Company concludes that an investee is a VIE, the Company evaluates its power to direct the activities of the investee, its obligation to absorb the expected losses of the investee and its right to receive the expected residual returns of the investee to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the investee. If the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates such entity and reflects the non-controlling interest of other beneficiaries of that entity. For the period presented, the Company determined that it did not have any VIEs that are required to be consolidated. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value for all periods presented because of the short-term maturity of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of notes receivable from Flash Ventures (as defined in Note 10, Related Parties and Related Commitments and Contingencies) also approximates fair value for all periods presented because they bear variable market rates of interest. The fair value of investments that are not accounted for under the equity method is based on appropriate market information. The carrying amounts of Notes due to (from) Western Digital Corporation approximate their fair value as the notes were due on demand. Inventories The Company values inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are recorded for the valuation of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value by analyzing market conditions and estimates of future sales prices as compared to inventory costs and inventory balances. The Company evaluates inventory balances for excess quantities and obsolescence on a regular basis by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels and other information, and reduces inventory balances to net realizable value for excess and obsolete inventory based on this analysis. Unanticipated changes in technology or customer demand could result in a decrease in demand for one or more of the Company’s products, which may require a write-down of inventory that could materially affect operating results. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The Company’s buildings and improvements are depreciated over periods ranging from fifteen to thirty years. The majority of the Company’s machinery and equipment, software and furniture and fixtures are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of two to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease terms. Goodwill Goodwill attributed to the Company represents the amount by which the purchase price of businesses acquired in a business combination exceeded the estimated fair value of acquired net assets. Goodwill is not amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs an annual impairment test as of the beginning of its fourth quarter or sooner if an indicator of impairment exists. The Company uses qualitative factors to determine whether goodwill is more-likely-than-not impaired and whether a quantitative test for impairment is considered necessary. If the Company concludes from the qualitative assessment that goodwill is more-likely-than-not impaired, the Company is required to perform a quantitative approach to determine the amount of impairment. The Company is required to use judgment when applying the goodwill impairment test including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. In addition, the estimates used to determine the fair value of reporting units may change based on results of operations, macroeconomic conditions or other factors. Changes in these estimates could materially affect the Company’s assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment. The Company’s assessment resulted in no impairment of goodwill in 2024. In 2025 and 2023, certain macroeconomic conditions caused the Company to perform a quantitative impairment analysis which resulted in a $1.8 billion and $671 million impairment of goodwill for the years ended June 27, 2025 and June 30, 2023, respectively. See Note 5, Supplemental Financial Statement Data for additional disclosures. Revenue and Accounts Receivable The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to the customer. The transaction price to be recognized as revenue is adjusted for variable consideration, such as sales incentives, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including taxes imposed by governmental authorities. The Company’s performance obligations are typically not constrained based on the Company’s history with similar transactions and the fact that uncertainties are resolved in a fairly short period of time. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of tangible products for which the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, generally upon delivery. The Company’s services revenue mainly includes professional service arrangements and post-contract customer support, warranty as a service and maintenance contracts and was not material for the periods presented. The performance obligations for the Company’s services are generally satisfied ratably over the service period based on the nature of the service provided and contract terms. Similarly, revenue from patent licensing arrangements is recognized based on whether the arrangement provides the customer a right-to-use or right-to-access the IP. Revenue for a right to use arrangement is recognized at the time the control of the license is transferred to the customer. Revenue for a right to access arrangement is recognized over the contract period as the access is provided to the customer. For the sales-based royalty arrangements, the Company estimates and recognizes revenue in the period in which customers’ licensable sales occur. The Company’s customer payment terms are typically less than two months from the date control over the product or service is transferred to the customer. The Company uses the practical expedient and does not recognize a significant financing component for payment considerations of less than one year. The Company provides distributors and retailers, which we refer to collectively as resellers, with limited price protection for inventories held by resellers at the time of published list price reductions. The Company also provides resellers and OEMs with other sales incentive programs. The Company records estimated variable consideration related to these items as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. The Company uses judgment in its assessment of variable consideration in contracts to be included in the transaction price. The Company uses the expected value method to arrive at the amount of variable consideration. The Company constrains variable consideration until the likelihood of a significant revenue reversal is not probable and believes that the expected value method is the appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration based on the fact that the Company has a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. For sales to OEMs, the Company’s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on the amount of consideration expected to be earned based on the OEMs’ volume of purchases from the Company or other agreed-upon sales incentive programs. For sales to resellers, the Company’s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on several factors including historical pricing information, current pricing trends and channel inventory levels. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts of variable consideration are recognized as adjustments to revenue. Marketing development program costs are typically recorded as a reduction of the transaction price and, therefore, of revenue. The Company nets sales rebates against open customer receivable balances if the criteria to offset are met, otherwise they are recorded in other accrued liabilities. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company evaluates whether each deliverable is a distinct promise and should be accounted for as a separate performance obligation. If a promised good or service is not distinct in accordance with the revenue guidance, the Company combines that good or service with the other promised goods or services in the arrangement until a distinct bundle of goods is identified. If applicable, the Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations of each distinct product or service, or distinct bundle, based on their relative standalone selling prices. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing specific customer accounts and assessing the risk of loss based on insolvency or other collection issues. In addition, the Company routinely analyzes the various receivable aging categories to establish reserves based on a combination of past due receivables and expected future losses. If the financial condition of a significant customer deteriorates resulting in its inability to pay its accounts when due, or if the Company’s overall loss trajectory changes significantly, an adjustment in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts would be required, which could materially affect operating results. Warranty The Company records an accrual for estimated warranty costs when revenue is recognized. The Company generally warrants its products for a period of one to five years, with a small number of products having a warranty ranging up to ten years or more. The warranty provision considers estimated product failure rates and trends, estimated replacement costs, estimated repair costs which include scrap costs and estimated costs for customer compensatory claims related to product quality issues, if any. For warranties ten years or greater, including lifetime warranties, the Company uses the estimated useful life of the product to calculate the warranty exposure. A statistical warranty tracking model is used to help prepare estimates and assist the Company in exercising judgment in determining the underlying estimates. The statistical tracking model captures specific details on product reliability, such as factory test data, historical field return rates and costs to repair by product type. Management’s judgment is subject to a greater degree of subjectivity with respect to newly introduced products because of limited field experience with those products upon which to base warranty estimates. Management reviews the warranty accrual quarterly for products shipped in prior periods and which are still under warranty. Any changes in the estimates underlying the accrual may result in adjustments that impact current period gross profit and income. Such changes are generally a result of differences between forecasted and actual return rate experience and costs to repair and could differ significantly from the estimates. Litigation and Other Contingencies When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, the Company assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. The Company discloses information regarding each material claim where the likelihood of a loss contingency is probable or reasonably possible. If a loss contingency is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an accrual for the calculated loss exposure. In such cases, there may be an exposure to potential loss in excess of the amount accrued. Where a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, the Company discloses an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible losses is not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. The actual outcome of such matters could differ materially from management’s estimates. See Note 16, Legal Proceedings for additional disclosures related to the Company’s litigation. Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $29 million, $31 million, and $35 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These expenses are included in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and Development Expense Research and Development (“R&D”) expenditures are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes Income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed U.S. tax returns on a stand-alone basis separate from WDC for the pre-spin period. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Each quarter, the Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets and adjusts the valuation allowance so that the Company records net deferred tax assets only to the extent that it has concluded it is more-likely-than-not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. The assessment of valuation allowances against the Company’s deferred tax assets requires estimation and significant judgment. The Company continues to assess and adjust its valuation allowance based on operating results and market conditions. The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. To the extent a tax position does not meet a more-likely-than-not level of certainty, no benefit is recognized in the financial statements. If a position meets the more-likely-than-not level of certainty, it is recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions and are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The actual liability for unrealized tax benefits in any such contingency may be materially different from the Company’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits or potentially adjust previously recorded liabilities for unrealized tax benefits and may materially affect the Company’s operating results. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of RSUs, PSUs, and right to purchase shares of common stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Program (“ESPP”) using the treasury stock method. Stock-based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation represents the cost associated with stock-based awards granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans. The Company establishes stock-based compensation values at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the employee. The Company grants RSUs and PSUs subject to market conditions. RSUs are typically awarded to employees over a two- to four-year period. Market-conditioned PSUs are granted to employees with vesting conditions based on the Company’s stock price and are cliff-vested at the end of the service period. The fair value of RSUs is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price at that time. The fair value of market-conditioned PSUs awards is determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which estimates the probability of satisfying the market conditions of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Stock-based compensation cost is recorded in Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income based on the employees’ respective functions. Prior to the separation, the Consolidated Statements of Operations included all stock-based compensation expenses for WDC RSU and PSU awards directly attributable to Sandisk’s employees, as well as an allocation of WDC’s corporate and shared functional employees’ expenses. See Note 12, Shareholders’ Equity for additional disclosures. Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax refers to gains and losses that are recorded as an element of equity but are excluded from net income (loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, is primarily comprised of unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation. Derivative Contracts The majority of the Company’s transactions are in U.S. dollars; however, some transactions are based in various foreign currencies. The Company purchases foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on certain underlying assets, liabilities and commitments for operating expenses and product costs denominated in foreign currencies. The purpose of entering into these hedging transactions is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s results of operations. Substantially all of these contract maturity dates do not exceed 12 months. All foreign exchange contracts are for risk management purposes only. The Company does not purchase foreign exchange contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The Company had foreign exchange contracts with commercial banks for European euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Malaysian ringgit, Korean won and Israeli shekel, which had an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion and $2.9 billion at June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, respectively. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge and is determined to be highly effective, the change in fair value of the derivative is initially deferred in Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. These amounts are subsequently recognized into earnings when the underlying cash flow being hedged is recognized into earnings. Recognized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are reported in Cost of revenue and Operating expenses and presented in cash flows from operating activities. Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the hedging instrument’s cumulative change in fair value from inception to maturity to the underlying exposure’s terminal value. The Company determined the ineffectiveness associated with its cash flow hedges to be immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented. A change in the fair value of undesignated hedges is recognized in earnings in the period incurred and is reported in Other income (expense), net. Leases The Company leases certain domestic and international facilities under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2039. These leases include no material variable or contingent lease payments. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Operating lease assets also include prepaid lease payments minus any lease incentives. Extension or termination options present in the Company’s lease agreements are included in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Sandisk Corporation (“Sandisk, or ” the “Company”) is a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of data storage devices and solutions based on NAND flash technology. With a differentiated innovation engine driving advancements in storage and semiconductor technologies, Sandisk’s broad and ever-expanding portfolio delivers powerful flash storage solutions for AI workloads in datacenters, edge devices, and consumers. Sandisk’s technologies enable everyone from students, gamers, and home offices to the largest enterprises and public clouds to produce, analyze, and store data. The Company’s solutions include a broad range of solid state drives, embedded products, removable cards, universal serial bus drives and wafers and components. The Company’s broad portfolio of technology and products addresses multiple end markets of “Cloud,” “Client” and Consumer.” The Company operates primarily in the United States (“U.S.”), and also internationally, with a significant concentration in the Asia Pacific region.

On October 30, 2023, Western Digital Corporation (“WDC”) announced that its board of directors (the “WDC Board of Directors”) authorized WDC management to pursue a plan to separate the Company into an independent public company (the “separation” or the “spin-off”). The separation received final approval by the WDC Board of Directors and was completed on February 21, 2025. Prior to February 21, 2025, the Company was wholly owned by WDC. On February 24, 2025, following the separation, the Company began trading as an independent, publicly traded company under the stock symbol “SNDK” on Nasdaq.

WDC executed the spin-off of the Company through WDC’s pro rata distribution of 116,035,464, or 80.1%, of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock to holders of WDC’s common stock as of the close of business on February 21, 2025. Each WDC stockholder received one-third (1/3) of one share of the Company’s common stock for each share of WDC’s common stock held by such WDC stockholder as of February 12, 2025, the record date of the distribution. Upon completion of the separation, WDC owned 28,827,787 or 19.9% of the shares of the Company’s common stock. On June 6, 2025, WDC disposed of 21,314,768 or 14.6% of the Company’s common stock through an exchange of Sandisk’s common stock for WDC debt held by WDC creditors.

In connection with the separation, on February 21, 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with WDC that set forth the terms and conditions of the spin-off and provided a framework for the relationship between WDC and the Company following the separation. These agreements include the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains certain key provisions related to the spin-off, as well as a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, an Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement, a Transitional Trademark License Agreement, and a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, as described in and filed as Exhibits to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on February 24, 2025 and incorporated by reference to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additionally, the Company adopted certain compensation plans filed as Exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 25, 2024, and as further amended thereafter and declared effective on January 31, 2025 (as amended, the “Form 10”). The Company also entered into various sublease agreements and established a stock compensation incentive plan in connection with the separation.

On February 21, 2025, in connection with the separation, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that remains undrawn to date, and a $2.0 billion term loan facility due in 2032. The Company used a portion of the proceeds received from the term loan facility and cash on hand to make a net distribution payment of $1.5 billion to WDC in exchange for assets, liabilities, and certain legal entities of WDC associated with the Company.

After the separation, outstanding restricted stock units (“RSU”) and performance stock units (“PSU”) previously granted by WDC to employees of the Company were adjusted per the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement, in an attempt to maintain the economic value of those awards before and after the separation. Generally, continuing Sandisk employees with outstanding RSU awards held as of the spin-off date were converted solely to equivalent RSU awards of the Company, and any outstanding WDC RSU awards held as of the spin-off date were canceled. Outstanding RSU and PSU awards at the time of the spin-off, held by employees at levels equal to Vice President and above, were converted into RSU and PSU awards of both the Company and WDC.

On February 21, 2025, the Company became a standalone publicly-traded company, and the Company’s financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. Prior to the separation, the Company’s historical combined financial information was derived from WDC’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and prepared as if the Company existed on a standalone basis. The financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to February 21, 2025, are now referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements” and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and policies and practices that are generally accepted in the industry in which it operates. The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized below.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounts of these foreign subsidiaries have been remeasured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Gains or losses resulting from the remeasurement of these accounts from local currencies into U.S. dollars were immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted average exchange rate for each period for statement of operations items. Translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity.

Prior to the separation on February 21, 2025, the Company was an operating segment of WDC. Consequently, standalone financial statements were not historically prepared for the Company. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared based upon WDC’s historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records. They were presented on a standalone basis as if the Company’s operations had been conducted independently from WDC. The Company utilized allocations and carve-out methodologies to prepare these historical Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements included the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company and were prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Company adopted accounting policies and practices generally accepted in the industry in which it operates.

Intercompany transactions were eliminated. With the exception of balances associated with lending arrangements reflected within Notes due to (from) Western Digital Corporation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, transactions between the Company and WDC were generally considered to be effectively settled in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions was reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Net investment from Western Digital Corporation. General financing activities included the net impact of any cash movements resulting from WDC’s centralized treasury cash management.

The Consolidated Balance Sheets included all assets and liabilities that were identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. Assets and liabilities shared between the Company and WDC were included in the standalone financial statements to the extent that the asset was primarily used by the Company. If the Company was not the primary user of the asset, it was excluded entirely from the Consolidated Financial Statements. WDC historically used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations, as needed. Certain of the Company’s cash was transferred to WDC according to centrally managed cash programs by treasury, and WDC funded the Company’s operating and investing activities, as needed. Cash transfers to and from WDC’s cash management accounts were reflected as a component of the Net investment from Western Digital Corporation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily represented cash held locally by entities included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

None of the debt obligations of WDC or corresponding interest expense were included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company was neither the legal obligor nor transferee for any portion of such debt. WDC’s debt obligations were secured by a lien on substantially all assets and properties of WDC and certain key subsidiaries, which included assets and properties of the Company prior to the completion of the separation.

The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) included all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Company as well as an allocation of expenses related to facilities, functions, and services provided by WDC. Allocation of general corporate expenses from WDC included, but was not limited to, executive management, finance, tax, legal, information technology, employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement, and other shared services. These corporate expenses were allocated to the Company based on direct usage or benefit, where identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on headcount, revenue, or other relevant measures. The allocated costs were deemed to be settled between the Company and WDC in the period in which the expense was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present these corporate expenses as cash flows from operating activities, as these costs were incurred by WDC on the Company’s behalf. The Company considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to, the Company. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred as a standalone company for the periods presented. Additionally, these costs may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Company had obtained these services from an unrelated third party. It is not practicable to estimate the actual costs that would have been incurred had the Company been a standalone company during the periods presented. The actual costs that may have been incurred would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and decisions with respect to areas such as facilities, information technology, and operating infrastructure.

WDC maintains various stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. Employees of the Company participated in those programs, and a portion of the compensation costs associated with those plans was included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Before the spin-off, stock-based compensation expense was included within Net investment from Western Digital Corporation. The amounts presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of future awards and may not reflect the results that the Company would have experienced as a standalone entity.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to June 30 and typically consists of 52 weeks. Approximately every five to six years, we report a 53-week fiscal year to align the fiscal year with the foregoing policy. Fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, which ended on June 27, 2025, June 28, 2024, and June 30, 2023, are each comprised of 52 weeks, with all quarters presented consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2026 will be comprised of 52 weeks and end on July 3, 2026. Unless otherwise indicated, references herein to specific years and quarters are to fiscal years and fiscal quarters, and references to financial information are on a consolidated basis.

The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells data storage devices and solutions based on NAND flash technology in the United States (“U.S.”) and in foreign countries through its sales personnel, dealers, distributors, retailers, and subsidiaries. The Company manages and reports its business operations under a single reportable operating segment. Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and are evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM, evaluates the performance of the Company and makes resource allocation decisions for its single reportable operating segment based upon the Company’s consolidated net income (loss). The CODM considers variances of actual performance to forecasted amounts when making decisions. Asset information is not used by the CODM to evaluate performance or allocate resources.

Management has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of certain assets and liabilities in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions have been applied using methodologies that are consistent throughout the periods presented, with consideration given to the potential impacts of current macroeconomic conditions, including the evolving impacts from tariffs. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The Company’s cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments in money market funds, which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government agency securities as well as time deposits with original maturities at purchase of three months or less. These deposits are maintained at financial institutions which may exceed U.S. federal insured limits. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

The Company enters into certain strategic investments for the promotion of business and strategic objectives. The equity method of accounting is used if the Company’s ownership interest is greater than or equal to 20.0% but less than a majority or where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. The Company’s equity in the earnings or losses in equity-method investments is recognized in Other income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Equity earnings or losses in the Company’s equity method investments (as defined in Note 10, Related Parties and Related Commitments and Contingencies) are reported on a three-month lag.

If the Company’s ownership interest is less than 20.0% and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee, the Company accounts for these investments at fair value, or if these equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, these securities are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. These investments are recorded in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are periodically analyzed to determine whether or not impairment indicators exist.

The Company evaluates its investments and other significant relationships to determine whether any investee is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the Company concludes that an investee is a VIE, the Company evaluates its power to direct the activities of the investee, its obligation to absorb the expected losses of the investee and its right to receive the expected residual returns of the investee to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the investee. If the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates such entity and reflects the non-controlling interest of other beneficiaries of that entity. For the period presented, the Company determined that it did not have any VIEs that are required to be consolidated.

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value for all periods presented because of the short-term maturity of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of notes receivable from Flash Ventures (as defined in Note 10, Related Parties and Related Commitments and Contingencies) also approximates fair value for all periods presented because they bear variable market rates of interest. The fair value of investments that are not accounted for under the equity method is based on appropriate market information. The carrying amounts of Notes due to (from) Western Digital Corporation approximate their fair value as the notes were due on demand.

The Company evaluates inventory balances for excess quantities and obsolescence on a regular basis by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels and other information, and reduces inventory balances to net realizable value for excess and obsolete inventory based on this analysis. Unanticipated changes in technology or customer demand could result in a decrease in demand for one or more of the Company’s products, which may require a write-down of inventory that could materially affect operating results.

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The Company’s buildings and improvements are depreciated over periods ranging from fifteen to thirty years. The majority of the Company’s machinery and equipment, software and furniture and fixtures are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of two to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease terms.

Goodwill is not amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs an annual impairment test as of the beginning of its fourth quarter or sooner if an indicator of impairment exists. The Company uses qualitative factors to determine whether goodwill is more-likely-than-not impaired and whether a quantitative test for impairment is considered necessary. If the Company concludes from the qualitative assessment that goodwill is more-likely-than-not impaired, the Company is required to perform a quantitative approach to determine the amount of impairment.

The Company is required to use judgment when applying the goodwill impairment test including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. In addition, the estimates used to determine the fair value of reporting units may change based on results of operations, macroeconomic conditions or other factors. Changes in these estimates could materially affect the Company’s assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment.

The Company’s assessment resulted in no impairment of goodwill in 2024. In 2025 and 2023, certain macroeconomic conditions caused the Company to perform a quantitative impairment analysis which resulted in a $1.8 billion and $671 million impairment of goodwill for the years ended June 27, 2025 and June 30, 2023, respectively. See Note 5, Supplemental Financial Statement Data for additional disclosures.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to the customer. The transaction price to be recognized as revenue is adjusted for variable consideration, such as sales incentives, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including taxes imposed by governmental authorities. The Company’s performance obligations are typically not constrained based on the Company’s history with similar transactions and the fact that uncertainties are resolved in a fairly short period of time.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of tangible products for which the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, generally upon delivery. The Company’s services revenue mainly includes professional service arrangements and post-contract customer support, warranty as a service and maintenance contracts and was not material for the periods presented. The performance obligations for the Company’s services are generally satisfied ratably over the service period based on the nature of the service provided and contract terms. Similarly, revenue from patent licensing arrangements is recognized based on whether the arrangement provides the customer a right-to-use or right-to-access the IP. Revenue for a right to use arrangement is recognized at the time the control of the license is transferred to the customer. Revenue for a right to access arrangement is recognized over the contract period as the access is provided to the customer. For the sales-based royalty arrangements, the Company estimates and recognizes revenue in the period in which customers’ licensable sales occur.

The Company provides distributors and retailers, which we refer to collectively as resellers, with limited price protection for inventories held by resellers at the time of published list price reductions. The Company also provides resellers and OEMs with other sales incentive programs. The Company records estimated variable consideration related to these items as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. The Company uses judgment in its assessment of variable consideration in contracts to be included in the transaction price. The Company uses the expected value method to arrive at the amount of variable consideration. The Company constrains variable consideration until the likelihood of a significant revenue reversal is not probable and believes that the expected value method is the appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration based on the fact that the Company has a large number of contracts with similar characteristics.

For sales to OEMs, the Company’s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on the amount of consideration expected to be earned based on the OEMs’ volume of purchases from the Company or other agreed-upon sales incentive programs. For sales to resellers, the Company’s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on several factors including historical pricing information, current pricing trends and channel inventory levels. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts of variable consideration are recognized as adjustments to revenue.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company evaluates whether each deliverable is a distinct promise and should be accounted for as a separate performance obligation. If a promised good or service is not distinct in accordance with the revenue guidance, the Company combines that good or service with the other promised goods or services in the arrangement until a distinct bundle of goods is identified. If applicable, the Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations of each distinct product or service, or distinct bundle, based on their relative standalone selling prices.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing specific customer accounts and assessing the risk of loss based on insolvency or other collection issues. In addition, the Company routinely analyzes the various receivable aging categories to establish reserves based on a combination of past due receivables and expected future losses. If the financial condition of a significant customer deteriorates resulting in its inability to pay its accounts when due, or if the Company’s overall loss trajectory changes significantly, an adjustment in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts would be required, which could materially affect operating results.

The Company records an accrual for estimated warranty costs when revenue is recognized. The Company generally warrants its products for a period of one to five years, with a small number of products having a warranty ranging up to ten years or more. The warranty provision considers estimated product failure rates and trends, estimated replacement costs, estimated repair costs which include scrap costs and estimated costs for customer compensatory claims related to product quality issues, if any. For warranties ten years or greater, including lifetime warranties, the Company uses the estimated useful life of the product to calculate the warranty exposure. A statistical warranty tracking model is used to help prepare estimates and assist the Company in exercising judgment in determining the underlying estimates. The statistical tracking model captures specific details on product reliability, such as factory test data, historical field return rates and costs to repair by product type. Management’s judgment is subject to a greater degree of subjectivity with respect to newly introduced products because of limited field experience with those products upon which to base warranty estimates. Management reviews the warranty accrual quarterly for products shipped in prior periods and which are still under warranty. Any changes in the estimates underlying the accrual may result in adjustments that impact current period gross profit and income. Such changes are generally a result of differences between forecasted and actual return rate experience and costs to repair and could differ significantly from the estimates.

When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, the Company assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. The Company discloses information regarding each material claim where the likelihood of a loss contingency is probable or reasonably possible. If a loss contingency is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an accrual for the calculated loss exposure. In such cases, there may be an exposure to potential loss in excess of the amount accrued. Where a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, the Company discloses an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible losses is not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. The actual outcome of such matters could differ materially from management’s estimates. See Note 16, Legal Proceedings for additional disclosures related to the Company’s litigation.

Income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed U.S. tax returns on a stand-alone basis separate from WDC for the pre-spin period. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Each quarter, the Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets and adjusts the valuation allowance so that the Company records net deferred tax assets only to the extent that it has concluded it is more-likely-than-not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. The assessment of valuation allowances against the Company’s deferred tax assets requires estimation and significant judgment. The Company continues to assess and adjust its valuation allowance based on operating results and market conditions. The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. To the extent a tax position does not meet a more-likely-than-not level of certainty, no benefit is recognized in the financial statements. If a position meets the more-likely-than-not level of certainty, it is recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions and are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The actual liability for unrealized tax benefits in any such contingency may be materially different from the Company’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits or potentially adjust previously recorded liabilities for unrealized tax benefits and may materially affect the Company’s operating results.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of RSUs, PSUs, and right to purchase shares of common stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Program (“ESPP”) using the treasury stock method.

Stock-based compensation represents the cost associated with stock-based awards granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans. The Company establishes stock-based compensation values at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the employee. The Company grants RSUs and PSUs subject to market conditions. RSUs are typically awarded to employees over a two- to four-year period. Market-conditioned PSUs are granted to employees with vesting conditions based on the Company’s stock price and are cliff-vested at the end of the service period. The fair value of RSUs is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price at that time. The fair value of market-conditioned PSUs awards is determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which estimates the probability of satisfying the market conditions of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Stock-based compensation cost is recorded in Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income based on the employees’ respective functions.

The majority of the Company’s transactions are in U.S. dollars; however, some transactions are based in various foreign currencies. The Company purchases foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on certain underlying assets, liabilities and commitments for operating expenses and product costs denominated in foreign currencies. The purpose of entering into these hedging transactions is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s results of operations. Substantially all of these contract maturity dates do not exceed 12 months. All foreign exchange contracts are for risk management purposes only. The Company does not purchase foreign exchange contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The Company had foreign exchange contracts with commercial banks for European euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Malaysian ringgit, Korean won and Israeli shekel, which had an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion and $2.9 billion at June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, respectively.

If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge and is determined to be highly effective, the change in fair value of the derivative is initially deferred in Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. These amounts are subsequently recognized into earnings when the underlying cash flow being hedged is recognized into earnings. Recognized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are reported in Cost of revenue and Operating expenses and presented in cash flows from operating activities. Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the hedging instrument’s cumulative change in fair value from inception to maturity to the underlying exposure’s terminal value. The Company determined the ineffectiveness associated with its cash flow hedges to be immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented.

The Company leases certain domestic and international facilities under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2039. These leases include no material variable or contingent lease payments. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Operating lease assets also include prepaid lease payments minus any lease incentives. Extension or termination options present in the Company’s lease agreements are included in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
