Filing receipts
“The non-cash adjustments to net income were driven by a $337.9 million increase in deferred taxes primarily due to the increase in deferred revenue and the capitalization of research and development costs under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), largely offset by stock-based compensation of $178.2 million.”
“Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Change in 2026 2025 Change in $ $ $ % $ $ $ % Other income (expense), net: Interest income $ 122.4 $ 90.4 $ 32.0 35.4 % $ 231.5 $ 180.6 $ 50.9 28.2 % Other income (expense), net 3.9 3.6 0.3 8.3 8.4 9.6 (1.2) (12.5) Total other income (expense), net $ 126.3 $ 94.0 $ 32.3 34.4 % $ 239.9 $ 190.2 $ 49.7 26.1 % The favorable movement in other income (expense), net, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in 2025 was primarily driven by increased interest income of $32.0 million and $50.9 million due to an increase in our cash and marketable securities balances.”
“The decrease in working capital requirements primarily consisted of an increase in deferred revenue of $1.1 billion primarily resulting from an increase in customer PCS contracts and an increase in product deferred revenue related to customer contracts with acceptance terms, a $152.4 million increase in income tax payables related to timing of payments, and a $110.3 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities primarily due to timing of inventory-related receipts and payments.”
