Our results of operations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 contains 52 weeks and ends on April 1, 2023. Our results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 contained 52 weeks and ended on April 2, 2022. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 contained 13 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively, and ended on December 31, 2022. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 contained 13 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively, and ended on January 1, 2022. For simplicity of disclosure, all fiscal periods are referred to as ending on a calendar month end. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals unless otherwise indicated) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the current interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the current year or any other period. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 25, 2022. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (Topic 832). The amendments in this update establish Topic 832 and require additional disclosures regarding government grants and money contributions when entities accounted for transactions with a government by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model. We adopted ASU 2021-10 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and elected to apply the amendments prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendment that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of adoption. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Other Recently Issued Accounting Standard s In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). The amendments in this update require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. This update is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and impact of this new standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended
Fair Value Measurements	Dec. 31, 2022
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	(2) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS There are various valuation techniques used to estimate fair value, the primary one being the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. We measure certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Fair Value Hierarchy The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1 . Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 . Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 . Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, our assets and liabilities that were measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in millions): Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using As of December 31, 2022 Quoted Prices in Significant Significant Balance Sheet (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets Bank and time deposits $ 56 $ 56 $ — $ — Cash equivalents Money market funds 5 5 — — Cash equivalents Available-for-sale securities: Corporate bonds 135 — 135 — Short-term investments and cash equivalents U.S. Treasury securities 84 84 — — Short-term investments U.S. agency securities 8 — 8 — Short-term investments Commercial paper 50 — 50 — Short-term investments Foreign government securities 15 — 15 — Short-term investments Asset-backed securities 40 — 40 — Short-term investments Certificates of deposit 19 — 19 — Short-term investments Foreign currency derivatives 53 — 53 — Other current assets and other assets Deferred compensation plan assets (a) 24 24 — — Other assets Total assets at fair value $ 489 $ 169 $ 320 $ — Liabilities Foreign currency derivatives $ 66 $ — $ 66 $ — Accrued and other current liabilities and other liabilities Deferred compensation plan liabilities (a) 24 24 — — Other liabilities Total liabilities at fair value $ 90 $ 24 $ 66 $ — Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using As of March 31, 2022 Quoted Prices in Significant Significant Balance Sheet (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets Bank and time deposits $ 55 $ 55 $ — $ — Cash equivalents Money market funds 257 257 — — Cash equivalents Available-for-sale securities: Corporate bonds 116 — 116 — Short-term investments U.S. Treasury securities 104 104 — — Short-term investments and cash equivalents Commercial paper 51 — 51 — Short-term investments and cash equivalents Foreign government securities 17 — 17 — Short-term investments Asset-backed securities 38 — 38 — Short-term investments Certificates of deposit 18 — 18 — Short-term investments Foreign currency derivatives 63 — 63 — Other current assets and other assets Deferred compensation plan assets (a) 21 21 — — Other assets Total assets at fair value $ 740 $ 437 $ 303 $ — Liabilities Foreign currency derivatives $ 14 $ — $ 14 $ — Accrued and other current liabilities and other liabilities Deferred compensation plan liabilities (a) 22 22 — — Other liabilities Total liabilities at fair value $ 36 $ 22 $ 14 $ — (a) The Deferred Compensation Plan assets consist of various mutual funds.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	(4) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Assets or liabilities associated with our derivative instruments and hedging activities are recorded at fair value in other current assets/other assets, or accrued and other current liabilities/other liabilities, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed below, the accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting us to foreign currency risk. We purchase foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities of 18 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in certain foreign currencies. Our cash flow risks are primarily related to fluctuations in the Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, South Korean won and Polish zloty. In addition, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany receivables and payables. The foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments generally have a contractual term of approximately three months or less and are transacted near month-end. We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative trading purposes. Cash Flow Hedging Activities Certain of our forward contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedges and must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The derivative assets or liabilities associated with our hedging activities are recorded at fair value in other current assets/other assets, or accrued and other current liabilities/other liabilities, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. The gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedges are subsequently reclassified into net revenue or research and development expenses, as appropriate, in the period when the forecasted transaction is recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that the underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes remote that they will occur within the defined hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net revenue or research and development expenses, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.Total gross notional amounts and fair values for currency derivatives with cash flow hedge accounting designation are as follows (in millions): As of December 31, 2022 As of March 31, 2022 Notional Amount Fair Value Notional Amount Fair Value Asset Liability Asset Liability Forward contracts to purchase $ 282 $ 1 $ 12 $ 375 $ 4 $ 3 Forward contracts to sell $ 1,729 $ 47 $ 49 $ 1,829 $ 52 $ 6 The effects of cash flow hedge accounting in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net revenue Research and development Net revenue Research and development Net revenue Research and development Net revenue Research and development Total amounts presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded $ 1,881 $ 556 $ 1,789 $ 539 $ 5,552 $ 1,693 $ 5,166 $ 1,607 Gains (losses) on foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges $ 67 $ (6) $ 12 $ 2 $ 147 $ (14) $ (25) $ 14 Balance Sheet Hedging Activities Our foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts are reported as other current assets or accrued and other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are reported in interest and other income (expense), net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gains and losses on these foreign currency forward contracts generally offset the gains and losses in the underlying foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, which are also reported in interest and other income (expense), net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total gross notional amounts and fair values for currency derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are accounted for as follows (in millions): As of December 31, 2022 As of March 31, 2022 Notional Amount Fair Value Notional Amount Fair Value Asset Liability Asset Liability Forward contracts to purchase $ 883 $ 1 $ 5 $ 496 $ 6 $ — Forward contracts to sell $ 1,125 $ 4 $ — $ 400 $ 1 $ 5 The effect of foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 Interest and other income (expense), net Total amounts presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the effects of balance sheet hedges are recorded $ (7) $ (11) $ (12) $ (39) Gains (losses) on foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments $ (53) $ 19 $ (26) $ 16

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded impairment charges of $40 million for acquisition-related intangible assets, of which $12 million was recorded within cost of revenue and $28 million was recorded within operating expenses. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded impairment charges of $14 million and $26 million, respectively, for acquisition-related intangible assets, which were recorded within operating expenses. Acquisition-related intangible assets are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the agreement terms, currently ranging from 2 to 7 years. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the weighted-average remaining useful life for acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately 4.9 and 5.2 years, respectively.

Royalties And Licenses [Abstract]
Royalties And Licenses	(7) ROYALTIES AND LICENSES Our royalty expenses consist of payments to (1) content licensors, (2) independent software developers, and (3) co-publishing and distribution affiliates. Content license royalties consist of payments made to celebrities, professional sports organizations, movie studios and other organizations for our use of their trademarks, copyrights, personal publicity rights, content and/or other intellectual property. Royalty payments to independent software developers are payments for the development of intellectual property related to our games. Co-publishing and distribution royalties are payments made to third parties for the delivery of products. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not recognize any material losses or impairment charges on royalty-based commitments. The current and long-term portions of prepaid royalties and minimum guaranteed royalty-related assets, included in other current assets and other assets, consisted of (in millions): As of December 31, 2022 As of March 31, 2022 Other current assets $ 45 $ 35 Other assets 28 28 Royalty-related assets $ 73 $ 63 At any given time, depending on the timing of our payments to our co-publishing and/or distribution affiliates, content licensors, and/or independent software developers, we classify any recognized unpaid royalty amounts due to these parties as accrued liabilities.

We expect to recognize substantially all of these balances as revenue over the next 12 months.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	Dec. 31, 2022
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(9) INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2023, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 was 28 percent and 29 percent, respectively, as compared to 27 percent and 22 percent, respectively, for the same period in fiscal year 2022. The rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was higher than the same period in the prior year due to the Codemasters intra-entity sale of intellectual property rights to our U.S. and Swiss intellectual property owners completed during the nine months ended December 31, 2021, which resulted in a step-up of the U.S. and Swiss tax-deductible basis in the transferred intellectual property rights, and we recognized a $60 million net tax benefit for the current and deferred tax impacts of the sale. Excluding the Codemasters intra-entity sale, the effective tax rate for nine months ended December 31, 2021 would have been 30 percent. We are subject to income tax examinations in various jurisdictions with respect to fiscal years after 2013. The timing and potential resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain. The gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 were $788 million. While we continue to measure our uncertain tax positions, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued. For example, in the period ended June 30, 2020, the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Altera Corp. v Commissioner (“the Altera opinion”) resulted in a partial decrease of our unrecognized tax benefits. A complete resolution and settlement of the matters underlying the Altera opinion is reasonably possible within the next 12 months, which would result in an additional reduction of our gross unrecognized tax benefits. However, it is uncertain whether a complete resolution and settlement of such matters would also result in resolution of all related and unrelated U.S. positions for all applicable years. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a range of potential outcomes associated with a reversal of our gross unrecognized tax benefits. We expect changes in unrecognized tax benefits unrelated to the Altera opinion which may occur within the next twelve months to be insignificant. On February 7, 2023, the Swiss Federal Tax Administration published an updated safe harbor interest rate, and we expect the higher rate to materially increase the valuation allowance against our Swiss deferred tax assets. We will recognize the impact to the income tax provision and the valuation allowance during the quarterly period ending March 31, 2023.

Financing Arrangement	(10) FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS Senior Notes In February 2021, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 1.85% Senior Notes due February 15, 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.95% Senior Notes due February 15, 2051 (the “2051 Notes”). Our proceeds were $1,478 million, net of discount of $6 million and issuance costs of $16 million. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the 2031 Notes and the 2051 Notes using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is 1.98% for the 2031 Notes and 3.04% for the 2051 Notes. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears, on February 15 and August 15 of each year. In February 2016, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.80% Senior Notes due March 1, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). Our proceeds were $395 million, net of discount of $1 million and issuance costs of $4 million. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate was 4.97%. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The carrying and fair values of the Senior Notes are as follows (in millions): As of December 31, 2022 As of March 31, 2022 Senior Notes: 4.80% Senior Notes due 2026 $ 400 $ 400 1.85% Senior Notes due 2031 750 750 2.95% Senior Notes due 2051 750 750 Total principal amount $ 1,900 $ 1,900 Unaccreted discount (6) (6) Unamortized debt issuance costs (15) (16) Net carrying value of Senior Notes $ 1,879 $ 1,878 Fair value of Senior Notes (Level 2) $ 1,477 $ 1,711 As of December 31, 2022, the remaining life of the 2026 Notes, 2031 Notes and 2051 Notes is approximately 3.2 years, 8.1 years, and 28.1 years, respectively. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all our other existing and future unsubordinated obligations and any indebtedness that we may incur from time to time under our Credit Facility. The 2026 Notes, 2031 Notes and 2051 Notes are redeemable at our option at any time prior to December 1, 2025, November 15, 2030, and August 15, 2050, respectively, subject to a make-whole premium. After such dates, we may redeem each such series of Notes, respectively, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event, the holders of each such series of Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of these Notes, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. Each such series of Notes also include covenants that limit our ability to incur liens on assets and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, subject to certain allowances. Credit Facility On August 29, 2019, we entered into a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks which was amended on October 18, 2022. The Credit Facility terminates on August 29, 2024 unless the maturity is extended in accordance with its terms. The Credit Facility contains an option to arrange with existing lenders and/or new lenders to provide up to an aggregate of $500 million in additional commitments for revolving loans. Proceeds of loans made under the Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, incur subsidiary indebtedness, grant liens, and dispose of all or substantially all assets, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain compliance with a debt to EBITDA ratio. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the debt to EBITDA ratio. As of December 31, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility. $2 million of debt issuance costs that were paid in connection with obtaining this credit facility are being amortized to interest expense over the 5-year term of the Credit Facility. Interest Expense The following table summarizes our interest expense recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 that is included in interest and other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 Amortization of debt issuance costs (1) (1) (2) (2) Coupon interest expense (13) (13) (41) (41) Total interest expense $ (14) $ (14) $ (43) $ (43)

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Development, Celebrity, League and Content Licenses: Payments and Commitments The products we produce in our studios are designed and created by our employee designers, artists, software programmers and by non-employee software developers (“independent artists” or “third-party developers”). We typically advance development funds to the independent artists and third-party developers during development of our games, usually in installment payments made upon the completion of specified development milestones. Contractually, these payments are generally considered advances against subsequent royalties on the sales of the products. These terms are set forth in written agreements entered into with the independent artists and third-party developers. In addition, we have certain celebrity, league and content license contracts that contain minimum guarantee payments and marketing commitments to promote the games we publish that may not be dependent on any deliverables. These developer and content license commitments represent the sum of (1) the cash payments due under non-royalty-bearing licenses and services agreements and (2) the minimum guaranteed payments and advances against royalties due under royalty-bearing licenses and services agreements, the majority of which are conditional upon performance by the counterparty. These minimum guarantee payments and any related marketing commitments are included in the table below. The following table summarizes our minimum contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022 (in millions): Fiscal Years Ending March 31, 2023 (Remaining Total three mos.) 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Unrecognized commitments Developer/licensor commitments $ 1,844 $ 41 $ 421 $ 504 $ 422 $ 120 $ 114 $ 222 Marketing commitments 888 48 232 228 184 80 65 51 Senior Notes interest 794 7 55 55 54 36 36 551 Operating lease imputed interest 47 3 10 8 6 5 4 11 Operating leases not yet commenced (a) 98 — — 3 8 8 8 71 Other purchase obligations 219 25 132 46 10 4 2 — Total unrecognized commitments 3,890 124 850 844 684 253 229 906 Recognized commitments Senior Notes principal and interest 1,920 20 — — 400 — — 1,500 Operating leases 369 17 66 63 53 38 28 104 Transition Tax and other taxes 17 — 4 6 7 — — Total recognized commitments 2,306 37 70 69 460 38 28 1,604 Total Commitments $ 6,196 $ 161 $ 920 $ 913 $ 1,144 $ 291 $ 257 $ 2,510 (a) As of December 31, 2022, we have entered into an office lease that has not yet commenced with aggregate future lease payments of approximately $98 million. This lease is expected to commence in fiscal year 2024, and will have a lease term of 12 years. The unrecognized amounts represented in the table above reflect our minimum cash obligations for the respective fiscal years, but do not necessarily represent the periods in which they will be recognized and expensed in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the amounts in the table above are presented based on the dates the amounts are contractually due as of December 31, 2022; however, certain payment obligations may be accelerated depending on the performance of our operating results. In addition to the amounts included in the table above, as of December 31, 2022, we had a net liability for unrecognized tax benefits and an accrual for the payment of related interest totaling $512 million, of which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of when cash settlement with a taxing authority will occur. Legal Proceedings We are subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any liability from any reasonably foreseeable disposition of such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	Dec. 31, 2022
Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	(12) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Valuation Assumptions We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards to employees based on the awards’ estimated grant-date fair value using a straight-line approach over the service period for which such awards are expected to vest. We account for forfeitures as they occur. The estimation of the fair value of market-based restricted stock units, stock options and ESPP purchase rights is affected by assumptions regarding subjective and complex variables. Generally, our assumptions are based on historical information and judgment is required to determine if historical trends may be indicators of future outcomes. We estimate the fair value of our stock-based awards as follows: • Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units . The fair value of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units (other than market-based restricted stock units) is determined based on the quoted market price of our common stock on the date of grant. • Market-Based Restricted Stock Units . Market-based restricted stock units consist of grants of performance-based restricted stock units to certain members of executive management that vest contingent upon the achievement of pre-determined market and service conditions (referred to herein as “market-based restricted stock units”). The fair value of our market-based restricted stock units is estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Key assumptions for the Monte-Carlo simulation model are the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividends and correlation coefficient. • Stock Options and Employee Stock Purchase Plan . The fair value of stock options and stock purchase rights granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans and our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (“ESPP”), respectively, is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the multiple-award valuation method. Key assumptions of the Black-Scholes valuation model are the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected term and expected dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. Expected volatility is based on a combination of historical stock price volatility and implied volatility of publicly-traded options on our common stock. An expected term is estimated based on historical exercise behavior, post-vesting termination patterns, options outstanding and future expected exercise behavior. There were an insignificant number of stock options granted during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Stock Options The following table summarizes our stock option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2022: Options Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate Outstanding as of March 31, 2022 286 $ 39.28 Granted 2 125.55 Exercised (164) 39.47 Forfeited, cancelled or expired (1) 64.95 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 123 $ 40.69 2.21 $ 10 Vested and expected to vest 123 $ 40.69 2.21 $ 10 Exercisable as of December 31, 2022 122 $ 40.04 2.16 $ 10 The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on our closing stock price as of December 31, 2022, which would have been received by the option holders had all the option holders exercised their options as of that date. We issue new common stock from our authorized shares upon the exercise of stock options. Restricted Stock Units The following table summarizes our restricted stock units activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2022: Restricted Weighted- Outstanding as of March 31, 2022 6,682 $ 129.57 Granted 4,970 127.44 Vested (3,332) 126.20 Forfeited or cancelled (695) 131.78 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 7,625 $ 129.45 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Our performance-based restricted stock units vest upon the achievement of pre-determined performance-based milestones, including, but not limited to, management reporting milestones of net bookings and operating income metrics, as well as service conditions. If these performance-based milestones are not met but service conditions are met, the performance-based restricted stock units will not vest, in which case any compensation expense we have recognized to date will be reversed. Generally, the measurement periods of our performance-based restricted stock units are 3 to 4 years, with awards vesting after each annual measurement period or cliff-vesting after the completion of the total aggregate measurement period. Each quarter, we update our assessment of the probability that the performance milestones will be achieved. We amortize the fair values of performance-based restricted stock units over the requisite service period. The performance-based restricted stock units contain threshold, target and maximum milestones for each performance-based milestone. The number of shares of common stock to be issued at vesting will range from zero to 200 percent of the target number of performance-based restricted stock units attributable to each performance-based milestone based on the company’s performance as compared to these threshold, target and maximum performance-based milestones. Each performance-based milestone is weighted evenly and the number of shares that vest based on each performance-based milestone is independent from the other. The following table summarizes our performance-based restricted stock unit activity, presented with the maximum number of shares that could potentially vest, for the nine months ended December 31, 2022: Performance- Weighted- Outstanding as of March 31, 2022 190 $ 142.60 Granted 509 127.98 Vested (73) 142.60 Forfeited or cancelled (69) 136.28 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 557 $ 130.03 Market-Based Restricted Stock Units Our market-based restricted stock units vest contingent upon the achievement of pre-determined market and service conditions. If these market conditions are not met but service conditions are met, the market-based restricted stock units will not vest; however, any compensation expense we have recognized to date will not be reversed. The number of shares of common stock to be issued at vesting will range from zero to 200 percent of the target number of market-based restricted stock units based on our total stockholder return (“TSR”) relative to the performance of companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index for each measurement period, over either a one-year, two-year cumulative, and three-year cumulative period, a two-year and four-year cumulative period or a three-year period. The following table summarizes our market-based restricted stock unit activity, presented with the maximum number of shares that could potentially vest, for the nine months ended December 31, 2022: Market-Based Weighted- Outstanding as of March 31, 2022 1,321 $ 134.69 Granted 178 176.70 Vested (95) 114.97 Forfeited or cancelled (582) 129.16 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 822 $ 149.98 Stock-Based Compensation Expense The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options, restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and the ESPP purchase rights included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 Cost of revenue $ 2 $ 1 $ 5 $ 4 Research and development 95 86 271 272 Marketing and sales 15 14 44 41 General and administrative 29 28 86 86 Stock-based compensation expense $ 141 $ 129 $ 406 $ 403 During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized $11 million and $56 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefit related to our stock-based compensation expense. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, we recognized $3 million and $54 million, respectively, of deferred income tax benefit related to our stock-based compensation expense. As of December 31, 2022, our total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options, restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units was $856 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average service period of 2.0 years. Of the $856 million of unrecognized compensation cost, $817 million relates to restricted stock units, $26 million relates to market-based restricted stock units, $13 million relates to performance-based restricted stock units. Stock Repurchase Program In November 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $2.6 billion of our common stock. Repurchases under the November 2020 program were completed in October 2022. In August 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $2.6 billion of our common stock. This stock repurchase program expires on November 4, 2024. Under this program, we may purchase stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws, including pursuant to pre-arranged stock trading plans. The timing and actual amount of the stock repurchases will depend on several factors including price, capital availability, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other market conditions. We are not obligated to repurchase a specific number of shares under this program and it may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Upon completion of the November 2020 program in October 2022, we began repurchasing shares under the current program. The following table summarizes total shares repurchased during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: November 2020 Program August 2022 Program Total (In millions) Shares Amount Shares Amount Shares Amount Three months ended December 31, 2022 — $ 5 2.6 $ 320 2.6 $ 325 Nine months ended December 31, 2022 5.1 $ 650 2.6 $ 320 7.7 $ 970 Three months ended December 31, 2021 2.4 $ 325 — $ — 2.4 $ 325 Nine months ended December 31, 2021 7.0 $ 975 — $ — 7.0 $ 975

Earnings Per Share Reconciliation [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	(13) EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table summarizes the computations of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock-based compensation plans including stock options, restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and ESPP purchase rights using the treasury stock method. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In millions, except per share amounts) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net income $ 204 $ 66 $ 814 $ 564 Shares used to compute earnings per share: Weighted-average common stock outstanding — basic 276 283 278 284 Dilutive potential common shares related to stock award plans 2 2 1 3 Weighted-average common stock outstanding — diluted 278 285 279 287 Earnings per share: Basic $ 0.74 $ 0.23 $ 2.93 $ 1.99 Diluted $ 0.73 $ 0.23 $ 2.92 $ 1.97 Certain restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units were excluded from the treasury stock method computation of diluted shares as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect. For both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, one million such shares were excluded. For both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, one million such shares were excluded.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (Topic 832). The amendments in this update establish Topic 832 and require additional disclosures regarding government grants and money contributions when entities accounted for transactions with a government by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model. We adopted ASU 2021-10 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and elected to apply the amendments prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendment that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of adoption. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Other Recently Issued Accounting Standard s In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). The amendments in this update require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. This update is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and impact of this new standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
