Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies	1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies NetApp, Inc. (we, us, NetApp, or the Company) makes data infrastructure intelligent by combining unified data storage, integrated data services, and CloudOps solutions. NetApp creates silo-free infrastructure, harnessing observability and artificial intelligence to enable seamless data management. We provide a full range of enterprise-class software, systems and services that customers use to transform their data infrastructures across data types, workloads, and environments to realize business possibilities. Basis of Presentation and Preparation Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the last Friday in April. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal months with calendar months. Fiscal years 2025 and 2024, ending on April 25, 2025 and April 26, 2024, respectively, are each 52-week years, with 13 weeks in each quarter. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 26, 2024 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended July 26, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, reserves and allowances; inventory valuation; valuation of goodwill and intangibles; restructuring reserves; employee benefit accruals; stock-based compensation; loss contingencies; investment impairments; income taxes and fair value measurements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, the anticipated effects of which have been incorporated, as applicable, into management's estimates as of July 26, 2024.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our income tax disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis. We will adopt the new requirements for our annual periods starting in fiscal 2025 (and interim periods thereafter). We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement, which we expect to result in enhanced financial statement disclosures only.

LNTL is integral to our sales channel strategy in China, acting as a distributor of our offerings to customers headquartered there, and involved in certain OEM sales to Lenovo. LNTL is also focused on localizing our products and services, and developing new joint offerings for the China market by leveraging NetApp and Lenovo technologies.

Deferred services revenue represents customer payments made in advance for services, which include software and hardware support contracts, certain public cloud services and other services. Financed unearned services revenue represents undelivered services for which cash has been received under certain third-party financing arrangements. See Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to these arrangements. During the three months ended July 26, 2024 and July 28, 2023, we recognized revenue of $ 670 million and $ 658 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance at the beginning of the respective periods. Remaining performance obligations As of July 26, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $ 4.5 billion. Because customer orders are typically placed on an as-needed basis, and cancellable without penalty prior to shipment, orders in backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue and have not been included in this amount. We expect to recognize as revenue approximately 50 % of our remaining performance obligations in the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	Jul. 26, 2024
Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, whereby the inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the three levels of inputs to measure fair value: Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. We consider an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and consider an inactive market to be one in which there are infrequent or few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers. Where appropriate, our own or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in measuring the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively. Investments The following is a summary of our investments at their cost or amortized cost as of July 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024 (in millions): July 26, April 26, U.S. Treasury and government debt securities $ 1,501 $ 1,349 Money market funds 692 1,161 Certificates of deposit 34 12 Mutual funds 43 38 Total debt and equity securities $ 2,270 $ 2,560 The fair value of our investments approximates their cost or amortized cost for both periods presented. Investments in mutual funds relate to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan offered to certain employees. As of July 26, 2024, all our debt investments are due to mature in one year or less. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions): July 26, 2024 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Total Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 790 $ 790 $ — Money market funds 692 692 — Certificates of deposit 34 — 34 U.S. Treasury and government debt securities 136 136 — Total cash and cash equivalents 1,652 1,618 34 Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury and government debt securities 1,365 1,365 — Total short-term investments 1,365 1,365 — Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 3,017 $ 2,983 $ 34 Other items: Mutual funds (1) $ 7 $ 7 $ — Mutual funds (2) $ 36 $ 36 $ — Foreign currency exchange contracts assets (1) $ 13 $ — $ 13 Foreign currency exchange contracts liabilities (3) $ ( 1 ) $ — $ ( 1 ) April 26, 2024 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Total Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 730 $ 730 $ — Money market funds 1,161 1,161 — Certificates of deposit 12 — 12 Total cash and cash equivalents 1,903 1,891 12 Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury and government debt securities 1,349 1,349 — Total short-term investments 1,349 1,349 — Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 3,252 $ 3,240 $ 12 Other items: Mutual funds (1) $ 6 $ 6 $ — Mutual funds (2) $ 32 $ 32 $ — Foreign currency exchange contracts assets (1) $ 1 $ — $ 1 Foreign currency exchange contracts liabilities (3) $ ( 13 ) $ — $ ( 13 ) (1) Reported as other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (2) Reported as other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (3) Reported as accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets Our Level 2 debt instruments are held by a custodian who prices some of the investments using standard inputs in various asset price models or obtains investment prices from third-party pricing providers that incorporate standard inputs in various asset price models. These pricing providers utilize the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or, if specific prices are not available for these securities, use other observable inputs like market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. We review Level 2 inputs and fair value for reasonableness and the values may be further validated by comparison to multiple independent pricing sources. In addition, we review third-party pricing provider models, key inputs and assumptions and understand the pricing processes at our third-party providers in determining the overall reasonableness of the fair value of our Level 2 debt instruments. As of July 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024, we have not made any adjustments to the prices obtained from our third-party pricing providers. Fair Value of Debt As of July 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024, the fair value of our long-term debt, which includes the current portion of long-term debt, was approximately $ 2,254 million and $ 2,209 million, respectively. The fair value of our long-term debt was based on observable market prices in a less active market.

Interest on each of these Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in June and December. Our 3.30 % Senior Notes, with a principal amount of $ 400 million, were issued in September 2017 with interest paid semi-annually in March and September. Our Senior Notes, which are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, rank equally in right of payment with any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. We may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part, at any time at our option at specified redemption prices. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes under specified terms. The Senior Notes also include covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens on assets or on shares of stock or indebtedness of our subsidiaries; to engage in certain sale and lease-back transactions; and to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. As of July 26, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Notes. As of July 26, 2024, our aggregate future principal debt maturities are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Amount 2025 (remainder) $ 400 2026 750 2027 — 2028 550 2029 — Thereafter 700 Total $ 2,400 Commercial Paper Program and Credit Facility We have a commercial paper program (the “Program”), under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. Amounts available under the Program, as amended in July 2017, may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $ 1.0 billion. The maturities of the notes can vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear interest at rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. There were no commercial paper notes outstanding as of July 26, 2024 or April 26, 2024. In connection with the Program, we have a senior unsecured credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders. The credit agreement, which was amended in May 2023, provides for a $ 1.0 billion revolving unsecured credit facility, with a sublimit of $ 50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit on our behalf. The credit facility matures on January 22, 2026 , with an option for us to extend the maturity date for two additional 1 -year periods, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used by us for general corporate purposes and as liquidity support for our existing commercial paper program. As of July 26, 2024, we were compliant with all associated covenants in the agreement. No amounts were drawn against this credit facility during any of the periods presented.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity	Jul. 26, 2024
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	8. Stockholders’ Equity Restricted Stock Units We granted approximately 3 million restricted stock units (RSUs), including performance-based RSUs (PBRSUs), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $ 128.21 per share during the three months ended July 26, 2024. In the three months ended July 26, 2024, we granted PBRSUs to certain of our executives. Each PBRSU has performance-based vesting criteria (in addition to the service-based vesting criteria) such that the PBRSUs cliff-vest at the end of a three year performance period, which began on the date specified in the grant agreements and typically ends on the last day of the third fiscal year, following the grant date. The number of shares that will be used to calculate the settlement amount for all of these PBRSUs at the end of the applicable performance and service period will range from 0 % to 200 % of a target number of shares originally granted. For half of the PBRSUs granted in the three months ended July 26, 2024, the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount will depend upon our Total Stockholder Return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of a specified group of benchmark peer companies (each expressed as a growth rate percentage) calculated as of the end of the performance period. For the remaining half of the PBRSUs granted in the three months ended July 26, 2024, the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount will depend upon the Company's billings result average over the three-year performance period. The billings result average is computed based on achievement against annual billings targets, with each target set at the beginning of the respective fiscal year, during the three-year performance period. Billings for purposes of measuring the performance of these PBRSUs means the total obtained by adding net revenues as reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income to the amount reported as the change in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable measurement period, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates . The aggregate grant date fair value of PBRSUs granted in the current year was $ 61 million, which is being recognized to compensation expense over the remaining performance / service periods . Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended July 26, July 28, Cost of product revenues $ 1 $ 1 Cost of services revenues 6 6 Sales and marketing 35 36 Research and development 31 32 General and administrative 12 12 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 85 $ 87 As of July 26, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to equity awards was $ 846 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining service period of 2.3 years. Stock Repurchase Program As of July 26, 2024, our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $ 17.1 billion of our common stock. Under this program, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by our management. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The following table summarizes activity related to the stock repurchase program for the three months ended July 26, 2024 (in millions, except for per share amounts): Number of shares repurchased 3 Average price per share $ 120.46 Stock repurchases allocated to additional paid-in capital $ 16 Stock repurchases allocated to retained earnings $ 384 Remaining authorization at end of period $ 1,102 Since the May 13, 2003 inception of our stock repurchase program through July 26, 2024, we repurchased a total of 375 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $ 42.73 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 16 billion. Dividends The following is a summary of our activities related to dividends on our common stock (in millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended July 26, July 28, Dividends per share declared $ 0.52 $ 0.50 Dividend payments allocated to additional paid-in capital $ 35 $ 68 Dividend payments allocated to retained earnings $ 72 $ 38 On August 22, 2024, we declared a cash dividend of $ 0.52 per share of common stock, payable on October 23, 2024 to holders of record as of the close of business on October 4, 2024 . The timing and amount of future dividends will depend on market conditions, corporate business and financial considerations and regulatory requirements. All dividends declared have been determined by us to be legally authorized under the laws of the state in which we are incorporated.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging Activities	9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities We use derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risk. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The maximum length of time over which forecasted foreign currency denominated revenues are hedged is 12 months. The program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of our agreements. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. We also have in place master netting arrangements to mitigate the credit risk of our counterparties and to potentially reduce our losses due to counterparty nonperformance. We present our derivative instruments as net amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gross and net fair value amounts of such instruments were not material as of July 26, 2024 or April 26, 2024. All contracts have a maturity of less than 12 months. The notional amount of our outstanding U.S. dollar equivalent foreign currency exchange forward contracts consisted of the following (in millions): July 26, April 26, Cash Flow Hedges Forward contracts purchased $ 108 $ 71 Balance Sheet Contracts Forward contracts sold $ 1,088 $ 881 Forward contracts purchased $ 12 $ 11 The gain (loss) of cash flow hedges recognized in net revenues is presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	10. Restructuring Charges In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, management approved a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities and reduce costs, which included a reduction of our global workforce by approximately 2 %. Charges related to the plan consisted primarily of employee severance-related costs. The activities under the plan were initiated during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, management approved a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities, and to optimize our global office space for our hybrid work model. In connection with the plan, we reduced our global workforce by approximately 1 % and terminated certain real estate leases in various countries, resulting in restructuring charges comprised primarily of employee severance related expenses and lease termination charges. The activities under the plan were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2024. Activities related to our restructuring plans are summarized as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended July 26, July 28, Balance at beginning of period $ 10 $ 36 Net charges 17 26 Cash payments ( 9 ) ( 31 ) Balance at end of period $ 18 $ 31

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	11. Income Taxes Our effective tax rates for the periods presented were as follows: Three Months Ended July 26, July 28, Effective tax rates 17.1 % 19.9 % 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. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 26, 2024 includes an increase in discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 28, 2023 includes a benefit for fiscal 2023 foreign tax credits resulting from Internal Revenue Service Notice 2023-55, which was released during the quarter, partially offset by an increase in stock compensation for which no tax benefit is recorded. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) recently enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework known as Pillar Two. These rules have been agreed to by most OECD members. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of Pillar Two rules. On February 1, 2023, the FASB indicated that they believe taxes imposed under Pillar Two is an alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the minimum tax would not be recognized or adjusted for the estimated future effects of the minimum tax but would be recognized in the period incurred. We are currently subject to Pillar Two rules starting in our fiscal year 2025. As of July 26, 2024, 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. Any OECD actions adopted internationally could impact our financial results in future periods. 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 26, 2024, we had $ 221 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Inclusive of penalties, interest and certain income tax benefits, $ 158 million would affect our provision for income taxes if recognized. Net unrecognized tax benefits of $ 157 million have been recorded in other long-term liabilities.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment, Geographic, and Significant Customer Information	13. Segment, Geographic, and Significant Customer Information Our operations are organized into two segments: Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud. The two segments are based on the information reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate results and allocate resources. The CODM measures performance of each segment based on segment revenue and segment gross profit. We do not allocate to our segments certain cost of revenues which we manage at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. We do not allocate assets to our segments. Hybrid Cloud offers a unified data storage portfolio of storage management and infrastructure solutions that help customers modernize their data centers. This portfolio supports structured and unstructured data with unified storage optimized for flash, disk, and cloud storage to handle data-intensive workloads and applications. Hybrid Cloud is composed of software, hardware, and related support, as well as professional and other services. Public Cloud offers a portfolio of products delivered primarily as-a-service, including related support. This portfolio includes cloud storage and CloudOps services. Public Cloud includes certain reseller arrangements in which the timing of our consideration follows the end user consumption of the reseller services.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	Jul. 26, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	14. Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Orders and Other Commitments In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to third-party contract manufacturers and component suppliers to manage manufacturer lead times and meet product forecasts, and to other parties, to purchase various key components used in the manufacture of our products. A significant portion of our reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements consist of firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional commitments. As of July 26, 2024, we had approximately $ 0.6 billion in non-cancelable purchase commitments for inventory. We record a liability for firm, non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments for quantities in excess of our future demand forecasts consistent with the valuation of our excess and obsolete inventory. As of July 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024, such liability amounted to $ 16 million and $ 20 million, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. To the extent that such forecasts are not achieved, our commitments and associated accruals may change. In addition to inventory commitments with contract manufacturers and component suppliers, we have open purchase orders and contractual obligations associated with our ordinary course of business for which we have not yet received goods or services. As of July 26, 2024, we had approximately $ 0.5 billion in other purchase obligations. Financing Guarantees While most of our arrangements for sales include short-term payment terms, from time to time we provide long-term financing to creditworthy customers. We have generally sold receivables financed through these arrangements on a non-recourse basis to third party financing institutions within 10 days of the contracts’ dates of execution, and we classify the proceeds from these sales as cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We account for the sales of these receivables as “true sales” as defined in the accounting standards on transfers of financial assets, as we are considered to have surrendered control of these financing receivables. Provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize product revenues for these arrangements, net of any payment discounts from financing transactions, upon product acceptance. We sold $ 19 million of receivables in each of the three months ended July 26, 2024 and July 28, 2023. In addition, we enter into arrangements with leasing companies for the sale of our hardware systems products. These leasing companies, in turn, lease our products to end-users. The leasing companies generally have no recourse to us in the event of default by the end-user and we recognize revenue upon delivery to the end-user customer, if all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Some of the leasing arrangements described above have been financed on a recourse basis through third-party financing institutions. Under the terms of recourse leases, which are generally three years or less, we remain liable for the aggregate unpaid remaining lease payments to the third-party leasing companies in the event of end-user customer default. These arrangements are generally collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Where we provide a guarantee for recourse leases and collectability is probable, we account for these transactions as sales type leases. If collectability is not probable, the cash received is recorded as a deposit liability and revenue is deferred until the arrangement is deemed collectible. For leases that we are not a party to, other than providing recourse, we recognize revenue when control is transferred. As of July 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024, the aggregate amount by which such contingencies exceeded the associated liabilities was not significant. To date, we have not experienced significant losses under our lease financing programs or other financing arrangements. We have entered into service contracts with certain of our end-user customers that are supported by third-party financing arrangements. If a service contract is terminated as a result of our non-performance under the contract or our failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract or to pay the aggregate unpaid financing payments under such arrangements. As of July 26, 2024, we have not been required to make any payments under these arrangements, and we believe the likelihood of having to acquire a material amount of assets or make payments under these arrangements is remote. The portion of the financial arrangement that represents unearned services revenue is included in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheets . Legal Contingencies When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We may, from time to time, receive claims that we are infringing third parties’ intellectual property rights, including claims for alleged patent infringement brought by non-practicing entities. We are currently involved in patent litigation brought by non-practicing entities and other third parties. We believe we have strong arguments that our products do not infringe and/or the asserted patents are invalid, and we intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ claims. However, there is no guarantee that we will prevail at trial and if a jury were to find that our products infringe, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages, and may cause product shipment delays or stoppages, require us to redesign our products, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include significant monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and overall trends . No material accrual has been recorded as of July 26, 2024 related to such matters.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Preparation	Basis of Presentation and Preparation Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the last Friday in April. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal months with calendar months. Fiscal years 2025 and 2024, ending on April 25, 2025 and April 26, 2024, respectively, are each 52-week years, with 13 weeks in each quarter. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 26, 2024 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended July 26, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, reserves and allowances; inventory valuation; valuation of goodwill and intangibles; restructuring reserves; employee benefit accruals; stock-based compensation; loss contingencies; investment impairments; income taxes and fair value measurements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, the anticipated effects of which have been incorporated, as applicable, into management's estimates as of July 26, 2024.

The billings result average is computed based on achievement against annual billings targets, with each target set at the beginning of the respective fiscal year, during the three-year performance period. Billings for purposes of measuring the performance of these PBRSUs means the total obtained by adding net revenues as reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income to the amount reported as the change in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable measurement period, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
