ARISTA NETWORKS, INC.

CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

(For the reporting period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022)

Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) of Arista Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the “Rule”) for the reporting period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Rule 13p-1 imposes certain reporting obligations on Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrants whose manufactured products contain certain minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. The specified minerals, which are collectively referred to in this Report as “Conflict Minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which the SEC has currently limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”), the Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

    For purposes of this Report, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Arista,” “Arista Networks” or the “Company” refer to Arista Networks, Inc.

Overview

    The Company has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy Statement (“Conflict Minerals Policy”), which is available on our website at https://www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/AristaNetworks_ConflictMineralsPolicyStatement_02022015.pdf. The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD.

Given that we do not source Conflict Minerals directly from smelters and refiners, we rely on third parties, including the RMI, to coordinate and conduct third-party audits of these facilities. We rely on the published results of these third-party audits to validate the responsible sourcing practices of the smelters and refiners in our supply chain.

Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence

This Report and associated Form SD will be filed with the SEC and will be available on our Investor Relations website at https://investors.arista.com/Financial-Information (see “SEC Filings”).

Results of RCOI and Due Diligence

    We conducted due diligence processes on the SORs that the surveyed suppliers identified. The surveyed suppliers identified an aggregate of 355 operational SORs which may process the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the components and/or materials that make up our products.

    Appendix A in this report lists all SORs provided to Arista Networks from surveyed in-scope suppliers. We have categorized SOR status as the following:

    Based on our due diligence process, we have determined the following as the status of the SORs that were disclosed to us by our in-scope suppliers:

    In addition, we have performed an analysis as to declarations of SORs that source from level 2 or level 3 RMI countries. Level 2 countries are countries where 3TG from conflict-affected and high-risk areas are known to transit and level 3 countries are countries where 3TG material is mined in the DRC and adjoining countries.

    We have determined that 46 SORs had sourced from level 2 or level 3 countries and, based on a detailed analysis, we have determined that:

    Based on this analysis and representations from our suppliers, we have concluded that we do not have sufficient information to determine whether our supply chain is “DRC conflict-free.” However, we have not identified any known instances in which our products contained 3TG minerals sourced directly or indirectly from armed groups in the conflict regions of any Covered Countries. Based on guidance from the SEC’s staff, an independent private sector audit is accordingly not required to be conducted under Rule 13p-1 and therefore has not been conducted.
