Fiscal period ending 2026-03-31 versus 2025-03-31
— view filing on EDGAR →
A realized $3.5B goodwill impairment charge anchors a materially worsened risk picture, compounded by escalating AI-driven competitive and cybersecurity threats and concrete tariff exposure. Partial offsets exist — net debt fell meaningfully on a 31% Senior Notes reduction and tax relief via OBBB/Pillar Two safe harbors — but these do not neutralize the severity of the asset write-down and broadening technology risks. The net balance is a worsened profile concentrated in asset quality, technology, and competitive dynamics.
