Costs, margins and pricing

  • Gross margin rose to 47.3%: GAAP gross profit margin was 47.3%, up 1.5 points from 45.8% in the prior quarter and 1.3 points from 46.0% a year earlier. Source
  • Gross profit reached $485.3 million: GAAP gross profit was $485.3 million, against $429.3 million in the prior quarter and $337.4 million a year earlier. Source
  • Component costs rose after fourth quarter: Certain component costs have risen since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and management said they may keep rising. Source

Operating expenses and other income

  • R&D up year on year, flat on quarter: R&D expense was $53.2 million, versus $53.0 million in the prior quarter and $48.5 million a year earlier, mainly on software, employee and facility costs. Source
  • SG&A rose on fees and credit provisions: SG&A was $40.6 million, up from $36.3 million in the prior quarter and $27.1 million a year earlier. Higher professional fees and credit-loss provisions drove the sequential rise, partly offset by lower marketing. Source
  • Other income swung to positive: Interest income and other, net was $6.2 million of income, against $3.1 million in the prior quarter and $3.2 million of expense a year earlier. Higher interest on invested cash was the main driver. Source
  • Tax provision rose with pre-tax income: Provision for income taxes was $77.2 million, against $50.7 million a year earlier, on income before income taxes of $397.6 million. Source

Supply, pricing and sales channels

  • Supply limits could curb customer fulfilment: Management said ongoing supply constraints could limit its ability to meet customer demand, which could affect revenue and gross profit. Source
  • Webstore sales lifted card processing fees: Year-on-year SG&A growth included higher credit card processing fees from incremental webstore sales, along with professional fees, employee costs and credit-loss provisions. Source
  • Pricing may need to offset component costs: Management said near-term gross margin pressure is possible if higher component costs are not offset through pricing or other measures. Source

Capital, dividends and share count

  • Board sets dividend each quarter: The prior release said later dividends and their record and payment dates remain subject to Board determination each quarter.
  • Diluted share count little changed: Diluted weighted-average shares were 60,564 thousand, against 60,575 thousand in the prior quarter and 60,559 thousand a year earlier. Source
  • Non-GAAP excludes only share-based compensation: The current reconciliation lists share-based compensation and its tax effect as the only non-GAAP adjustments. Source

Coming up, as management said on 6 November 2026

  • Dividend payment and record dates: The $1.00 dividend is payable November 23, 2026, to holders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2026. Source

Risks management discussed

  • Operational: Supply constraints could limit the ability to meet customer demand and affect revenues and gross profit margins. Source
  • External: Component costs may keep rising and component availability may stay constrained. Source
