Provision for (benefit from) income tax

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-11-02), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-10-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-10-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-10-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-11-02).


Current Income Tax Expense
The current income tax expense exhibits an overall increasing trend from the fiscal year ending November 2, 2019, to October 28, 2023, starting at approximately $214 million and reaching a peak of around $746 million. However, in the most recent period ending November 2, 2024, there is a notable decline to roughly $510 million. This pattern indicates a substantial growth in current tax obligations over several years followed by a marked reduction in the latest year.
Deferred Income Tax Expense
The deferred income tax values are consistently negative throughout all the periods, indicating deferred tax benefits. The magnitude of these benefits increases significantly from about -$91 million in 2019 to nearly -$407 million in 2021. Thereafter, the deferred tax benefit fluctuates but remains substantial, with values of approximately -$327 million in 2022, -$453 million in 2023, and a slight reduction to -$368 million in 2024. This suggests that the company has been consistently recognizing significant deferred tax benefits, which peaked around 2021 and 2023.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Tax
The overall provision for income taxes shows variability with a peak in the fiscal year ending October 29, 2022, at approximately $350 million. Initially, the provision was positive at around $123 million in 2019 and declined to approximately $91 million in 2020. The most notable change occurred in 2021 when the provision turned negative to about -$62 million, indicating a net income tax benefit during that year. After this, it sharply increased again to $350 million in 2022, followed by a decrease to $293 million in 2023 and further down to about $142 million in 2024. The fluctuations suggest volatility in the effective tax expense, likely influenced by both current and deferred tax components.
Summary of Trends and Insights
The data reflects a dynamic tax expense profile with increasing current tax expenses for most of the period until a recent decrease. The deferred tax benefits have been significant throughout, indicating recognition of timing differences affecting tax payments. The net provision for income tax has experienced considerable fluctuation, reflecting the interplay between current tax liabilities and deferred tax benefits. The negative income tax provision observed in 2021 is an unusual occurrence that points to a specific tax benefit or adjustment. Overall, the company’s tax expense pattern is characterized by growth until recent moderation, combined with substantial deferred tax benefits impacting the total tax provision.

U.S. Federal Statutory Tax Rate
The U.S. federal statutory tax rate remained constant at 21% throughout the entire period from 2019 to 2024, indicating no changes in the statutory framework affecting the company’s tax obligations over these years.
Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate shows a fluctuating trend over the analyzed periods. It started at 8.26% in 2019, decreasing to 6.93% in 2020. In 2021, there was a notable and unusual shift as the effective tax rate became negative at -4.64%. This indicates the company may have experienced a tax benefit or credit that exceeded its tax liabilities for that year. Following this, the effective tax rate rose significantly to 11.3% in 2022, then decreased to 8.13% in 2023, and further slightly declined to 7.99% in 2024.
The effective tax rate has consistently been well below the statutory rate, which suggests the company benefited from deductions, credits, or other tax strategies reducing its overall tax burden. The negative effective tax rate in 2021 represents an outlier requiring further investigation for its underlying causes. Subsequent years show a return toward positive tax rates but still substantially lower than the statutory benchmark.

The financial data reveals several notable trends across different asset and liability categories over the analyzed periods.

Inventory Reserves
The inventory reserves show fluctuations, with a decrease from approximately $21 million in late 2019 to around $17 million in late 2020, followed by intermittent missing data. A significant increase appears in late 2024, reaching roughly $29 million, indicating a possible buildup of inventory or precautionary reserves during the last recorded period.
Reserves for Compensation and Benefits
These reserves experienced an overall upward movement from about $53 million in 2019 to a peak of approximately $64 million in 2021. Subsequent years show a decline to roughly $49 million by late 2024, which may reflect changing workforce or compensation policy dynamics.
Tax Credit Carryovers
Tax credit carryovers consistently increased from $133 million in 2019 to over $318 million by 2024, indicating accumulation of unused tax credits that could potentially be utilized against future tax liabilities.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation demonstrates volatility, with an initial value near $63 million in 2019 plummeting to around $13 million in 2020, rising again to about $27 million in 2021, then declining sharply to approximately $11 million in 2023, and recovering to nearly $22 million in 2024. This pattern suggests varying levels of stock award grants or expense recognition.
Net Operating Losses
Net operating losses increased sharply from about $5 million in 2019 to over $62 million in 2021, followed by a downward trend to near $41 million by 2024. This reflects historical operational losses with some recovery or utilization over recent periods.
Intangible Assets
The intangible assets showed growth from approximately $1.57 billion in 2019 to a peak of $2 billion in 2021, followed by a gradual decrease to $1.87 billion in 2024, possibly due to amortization or impairment.
Lease Liability and Right of Use Asset
Lease liabilities began being reported in 2020 with $55 million, rising to a peak of approximately $82 million in 2023 before declining slightly to $75 million in 2024. Correspondingly, the right-of-use asset started negative in 2020 and became increasingly negative, fluctuating around $53-$60 million, consistent with lease accounting standards.
Capitalization of R&D Expenses
This item appears starting in 2022 with $155 million, increasing significantly to $625 million by 2024. The trend suggests a strategic increase in capitalizing research and development costs over the last three years.
Other Assets
The “Other” category exhibits irregular movements, increasing from about $71 million in 2019 to $248 million in 2021, then decreasing considerably to $71 million by 2024, implying possible changes in classification or asset disposals.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Gross deferred tax assets increased steadily from $1.92 billion in 2019 to over $3.1 billion in 2024, while the valuation allowance also increased negatively, indicating greater allowance for doubtful deferred tax recoveries. Net deferred tax assets showed a marked decline in net liability position, moving from negative $506 million in 2019 to negative $541 million in 2024, though the net liability decreased in magnitude over time.
Depreciation
Depreciation expenses increased substantially from a negative value of around $7 million in 2020 to nearly $140 million in 2024, reflecting higher asset base depreciation or changes in depreciation recognition.
Acquisition-Related Intangibles
These intangibles consistently decreased from over $1 billion in 2019 to approximately $664 million in 2024, suggesting ongoing amortization or write-downs related to acquired assets.

Overall, the data indicates active management of intangible assets and lease obligations, deliberate capitalization of R&D investments, and continuous adjustments in inventory and compensation reserves. The tax-related balances show an increasing deferred tax asset base alongside steadily growing valuation allowances and fluctuating net deferred tax liabilities, implying complex tax positions evolving over the analyzed period.

Deferred Tax Assets
The deferred tax assets value showed a moderate decline from 1,582,382 thousand USD in 2019 to 1,503,064 thousand USD in 2020. Significant growth was observed in 2021, rising sharply to 2,267,269 thousand USD. This higher level was relatively maintained in 2022 at 2,264,888 thousand USD, followed by a slight decrease in 2023 to 2,223,272 thousand USD. The value further declined in 2024 to 2,083,752 thousand USD, indicating a gradual reduction after the peak in 2021 and 2022.
Deferred Tax Liabilities
Deferred tax liabilities exhibited a downward trend overall from 2019 to 2024. Starting at 2,088,212 thousand USD in 2019, the value decreased to 1,919,595 thousand USD in 2020. A sharp increase occurred in 2021, reaching a peak of 3,938,830 thousand USD. Thereafter, the liabilities steadily decreased each year to 3,622,538 thousand USD in 2022, 3,127,852 thousand USD in 2023, and finally 2,624,392 thousand USD in 2024.
Summary of Trends
Both deferred tax assets and liabilities experienced notable growth in 2021, with assets more than increasing by approximately 50% from the previous year and liabilities nearly doubling. However, subsequent periods show a consistent decline for both items, suggesting adjustments or realizations affecting deferred tax balances. Despite the decline, the deferred tax liabilities remain higher than the 2019 and 2020 levels, whereas deferred tax assets in 2024 have somewhat moderated closer to earlier values but still above the levels seen in 2019 and 2020.

The financial data reveals several notable trends in the reported and adjusted figures over the six-year period.

Total Assets
Both reported and adjusted total assets show an overall increase from 2019 to 2021, peaking in 2021 with reported assets at approximately 52.3 billion US dollars and adjusted assets near 50.1 billion US dollars. After 2021, a declining trend is observed, with assets decreasing consistently each subsequent year through 2024. The adjusted assets are consistently lower than reported assets, reflecting adjustments likely related to deferred income tax considerations.
Total Liabilities
Reported total liabilities increase significantly from 2019 to 2021, reaching about 14.3 billion US dollars, followed by a gradual decline through 2024. Adjusted liabilities also rise sharply from 2019 to 2021, but show a less pronounced decline and remain relatively stable from 2022 onwards, hovering just above 10 billion US dollars. The difference between reported and adjusted liabilities narrows over time, indicating changes in the components affecting liabilities adjustment.
Shareholders’ Equity
Reported shareholders’ equity experiences strong growth from 2019 through 2021, surging from approximately 11.7 billion to about 38 billion US dollars, after which it declines gradually through 2024. Adjusted shareholders’ equity mirrors this trajectory but is consistently higher than the reported figures, peaking at nearly 39.7 billion US dollars in 2021 and tapering off slightly thereafter. This suggests that adjustments positively impact equity valuation, possibly by reducing liabilities or increasing asset values.
Net Income
Reported net income shows moderate fluctuations with a general increase from 2019 to 2022, reaching a high of approximately 3.3 billion US dollars in 2023, before falling sharply in 2024 to about 1.6 billion US dollars. Adjusted net income follows a similar pattern but remains below reported net income for most of the period and demonstrates greater volatility. Notably, adjusted net income declines sharply in 2021 before rebounding in 2022 and 2023, then dropping again in 2024. These trends suggest variability in tax adjustments influencing the net earnings reported over time.

Overall, the data shows growth and expansion in the early part of the period, particularly between 2019 and 2021, with assets, liabilities, and equity peaking in 2021. Since then, there is a general trend of decline or stabilization across all categories, alongside fluctuations in profitability. The adjustments related to deferred income tax consistently impact the values, generally reducing assets and liabilities while increasing equity and affecting net income in varying degrees across the years.

Net Profit Margin Trends
The reported net profit margin exhibits fluctuations over the periods, starting at 22.75% in 2019, dipping to 19% in 2021, peaking at 26.94% in 2023, and then falling sharply to 17.35% in 2024. The adjusted net profit margin follows a similar pattern but shows a more pronounced decline, reaching its lowest at 13.44% in 2021 and ending at 13.45% in 2024, indicating that adjustments for tax and other factors have consistently reduced profitability margins compared to reported figures.
Total Asset Turnover Patterns
Both reported and adjusted total asset turnover ratios declined markedly in 2021, dropping from approximately 0.28–0.30 in 2019 to around 0.14–0.15, before partially recovering in subsequent years to about 0.25–0.26 in 2023. The ratio then diminished again in 2024 to 0.20 for both reported and adjusted values, suggesting a decreasing efficiency in asset utilization in the most recent period.
Financial Leverage Behavior
Reported financial leverage decreased significantly from 1.83 in 2019 to 1.38 by 2021 and then stabilized around 1.37 through 2024. Adjusted financial leverage follows a similar declining trend but remains consistently lower than reported leverage, moving from 1.62 to roughly 1.26 by 2021 and slightly increasing to 1.29 by 2024. This reflects a reduction in the use of debt or other liabilities leveraged against equity over the period, with a modest uptick in leverage in the latest period on an adjusted basis.
Return on Equity (ROE) Movements
Reported ROE shows a downward trend from 11.64% in 2019 to a low of 3.66% in 2021, followed by a partial recovery to 9.32% in 2023, then a decline again to 4.65% in 2024. Adjusted ROE is generally lower than reported ROE across all periods, following a similar trajectory but falling as low as 2.48% in 2021 and ending at 3.55% in 2024. This decline in ROE, particularly on an adjusted basis, suggests decreasing profitability relative to shareholders' equity over time.
Return on Assets (ROA) Developments
Reported ROA declines from 6.37% in 2019 to 2.66% in 2021, then improves to 6.79% in 2023 before declining again to 3.39% in 2024. Adjusted ROA shows a similar but slightly lower pattern, starting at 6.42%, reaching a low of 1.96% in 2021, improving to 6.14% in 2023, and dropping to 2.75% in 2024. The ROA movements imply variability in asset profitability, with a notable dip in 2021 followed by recovery and then another decrease in the last period analyzed.
Overall Observations
The financial data indicate an overall volatility in profitability and efficiency metrics during the six-year span. Most ratios demonstrate a pronounced dip around 2021, which may be indicative of operational challenges or external factors affecting performance. Recovery phases are evident in 2022 and 2023, though many metrics decline again in 2024. Adjusted values consistently present more conservative views of financial performance compared to reported metrics, underscoring the impact of adjustments like deferred tax considerations on the company's financial health assessments.

= 100 × ÷ =

2 Adjusted net profit margin = 100 × Adjusted net income ÷ Revenue
= 100 × ÷ =


The financial data over the six-year period demonstrates variability in both reported and adjusted net incomes, as well as their corresponding net profit margins. The analysis reveals several notable trends and fluctuations.

Reported Net Income
The reported net income initially decreased from 1,363,011 thousand US dollars in 2019 to 1,220,761 thousand in 2020. It then increased to 1,390,422 thousand in 2021, followed by a significant rise in 2022 to 2,748,561 thousand, peaking in 2023 at 3,314,579 thousand. However, there is a pronounced decline in 2024 to 1,635,273 thousand, representing a reduction of more than 50% from the previous year.
Adjusted Net Income
The adjusted net income shows a downward trend from 1,271,758 thousand in 2019 to 983,500 thousand in 2021. Subsequently, there is a strong recovery in 2022 and 2023, with adjusted net income rising to 2,421,806 thousand and 2,861,633 thousand respectively. Like reported net income, the adjusted figure drops sharply in 2024 to 1,267,710 thousand, close to the 2019 level.
Reported Net Profit Margin
The reported net profit margin fell slightly from 22.75% in 2019 to 21.79% in 2020, followed by a more marked decrease to 19.00% in 2021. It rebounded to 22.88% in 2022 and achieved its highest value at 26.94% in 2023. This margin then contracted significantly to 17.35% in 2024, indicating reduced profitability relative to revenue that year.
Adjusted Net Profit Margin
The adjusted net profit margin experienced a consistent decline from 21.23% in 2019 to 13.44% in 2021. It improved notably in 2022 and 2023 to 20.16% and 23.25% respectively but declined substantially in 2024 to 13.45%, reflecting a similar trend to the reported margin albeit with lower values, suggesting the impact of adjustments related to income tax or other items was more pronounced in the later period.

Overall, the data indicate cyclical patterns in profitability and net income levels, with peaks in 2023 followed by a sharp decrease in 2024. The divergence between reported and adjusted figures is most evident in the early years and narrows during the peak period, then widens again in 2024. Both sets of metrics suggest volatility in earnings quality and tax-related adjustments affecting the company's financial results over the analyzed timeframe.

The analysis of the presented financial data reveals notable trends in both the asset base and asset efficiency metrics over the observed periods.

Total Assets

Reported total assets showed a relatively stable level around 21.4 billion US dollars from 2019 to 2020, followed by a significant increase to approximately 52.3 billion in 2021. This peak was succeeded by a gradual decline each year thereafter, reaching about 48.2 billion by 2024.

Similarly, adjusted total assets followed the same general trend but at somewhat lower absolute values. Starting near 19.8 billion in 2019, adjusted assets rose sharply to around 50.1 billion in 2021, then steadily decreased to approximately 46.1 billion by 2024. The consistent gap between reported and adjusted assets suggests adjustments primarily reduce asset values without altering trend directions.

Total Asset Turnover

Reported total asset turnover ratios declined from 0.28 in 2019 to a low of 0.14 in 2021, indicating a substantial drop in efficiency relative to the asset base at that time. Following this trough, the ratio recovered gradually in 2022 and 2023 to 0.24 and 0.25 respectively, before declining again slightly to 0.20 in 2024.

Adjusted total asset turnover exhibited a similar pattern, starting higher at 0.30 in 2019, dipping to 0.15 in 2021, recovering to 0.26 in 2023, and then dropping to 0.20 in 2024. This alignment suggests that the adjustments made have consistent effects on turnover ratios, preserving the overall trend direction.

Overall, the data indicate that the company experienced a peak in asset accumulation in 2021, followed by a period of asset reduction or optimization. Concurrently, operational efficiency as measured by asset turnover declined sharply with the asset increase but showed signs of partial recovery in subsequent years, before moderating downwards again in the most recent period. The adjusted figures confirm these observations, highlighting adjustments for income tax effects without distorting the underlying trend analysis.

2 Adjusted financial leverage = Adjusted total assets ÷ Adjusted shareholders’ equity
= ÷ =


Total Assets
The reported total assets demonstrate a marked increase from 21.39 billion in 2019 to a peak of 52.32 billion in 2021, followed by a sustained decline through 2024, ending at approximately 48.23 billion. Adjusted total assets follow a similar pattern, rising significantly to 50.05 billion in 2021 before gradually decreasing to around 46.14 billion by 2024. This indicates a peak in asset base during 2021 with subsequent contraction in the following years.
Shareholders’ Equity
Reported shareholders’ equity saw substantial growth reaching nearly 38 billion in 2021, more than tripling from roughly 11.7 billion in 2019. Thereafter, equity levels gradually decreased to slightly above 35 billion by 2024. Adjusted shareholders’ equity exhibits an even higher peak at approximately 39.66 billion in 2021, then steadily declines to about 35.7 billion in 2024. The trends suggest significant equity expansion up to 2021, with a modest downturn thereafter.

Reported financial leverage ratios have decreased from 1.83 in 2019 to 1.37 by 2022 and remain relatively stable through 2024. Adjusted financial leverage trends echo this pattern, falling from 1.62 in 2019 to around 1.26 in 2021 and then marginally increasing to 1.29 by 2024. This indicates a reduction in leverage over time, reaching a lower leverage state during the 2021–2024 period with slight recent upward movement in adjusted figures.
Summary of Trends
The data reveals significant growth in both total assets and shareholders' equity up to fiscal year 2021, followed by a period of decline. Despite the contraction, reported and adjusted equity remain well above their 2019 levels by 2024. The financial leverage ratio shows a consistent decrease until 2021, implying strengthening equity relative to liabilities, and remains fairly stable with a minor increase in later years on an adjusted basis. Overall, the financial adjustments for income tax effects do not materially alter the directional trends, but do suggest slightly more conservative leverage metrics compared to reported figures.

The data exhibits notable fluctuations and trends over the six fiscal years under review. Both reported and adjusted net income experienced variability with periods of growth and decline, while shareholders' equity showed significant changes, particularly in the middle years. Return on equity (ROE) metrics indicate a general downward trend, reflecting changes in profitability relative to equity.

Net Income Trends
Reported net income initially decreased from approximately 1.36 billion USD in 2019 to 1.22 billion USD in 2020, followed by an increase to 1.39 billion USD in 2021. A substantial jump occurred in 2022 and 2023, peaking at around 3.31 billion USD, before falling sharply to 1.63 billion USD in 2024. Adjusted net income follows a similar pattern but with generally lower figures, indicating adjustments materially affect reported earnings. It declined steadily from 1.27 billion USD in 2019 to under 1 billion USD in 2021, surged to 2.42 billion USD in 2022 and 2.86 billion USD in 2023, then decreased to 1.27 billion USD in 2024.
Shareholders' Equity Movements
Reported shareholders’ equity remained relatively stable early on, with slight increases up to 2020. From 2021, there was a dramatic rise to nearly 38 billion USD, followed by a modest decline over the next three years, stabilizing around 35 billion USD in 2024. Adjusted shareholders’ equity shows a similar but consistently higher pattern compared to reported equity, indicating adjustments typically add to equity values. The peak appears in 2021 near 39.7 billion USD, followed by gradual decreases to approximately 35.7 billion USD by 2024.
Return on Equity (ROE) Patterns
Both reported and adjusted ROE percentages exhibit a declining trend over the period. Reported ROE decreased from 11.64% in 2019 to a low of 3.66% in 2021 before partially recovering to 9.32% in 2023 and then dropping again to 4.65% in 2024. Adjusted ROE mirrors this trend but is consistently lower, falling from 10.41% in 2019 to a low at 2.48% in 2021 and subsequently recovering to 7.85% in 2023, then declining to 3.55% in 2024. This suggests profitability relative to shareholders' equity weakened in 2021, improved somewhat in 2022-2023, and declined again thereafter.
Overall Insights
The data reflects a dynamic financial performance with pronounced earnings volatility and substantial equity base fluctuations. The sharp rises in income and equity around 2021-2023 may indicate significant corporate events such as acquisitions or revaluations, supported by the large adjustments seen. The consistent disparity between reported and adjusted figures highlights the material impact of tax adjustments or other accounting treatments on reported results. The downward trend in ROE ratios warns of decreasing efficiency in generating profits from equity, despite temporary betterments.

1 ROA = 100 × Net income ÷ Total assets
= 100 × ÷ =

2 Adjusted ROA = 100 × Adjusted net income ÷ Adjusted total assets
= 100 × ÷ =


Reported Net Income
The reported net income initially declined from approximately $1.36 billion in 2019 to around $1.22 billion in 2020, followed by a moderate increase to about $1.39 billion in 2021. A significant jump was observed in 2022, reaching roughly $2.75 billion, then further increased to $3.31 billion in 2023. However, in 2024, there was a notable decline to approximately $1.64 billion.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income exhibited a downward trend from $1.27 billion in 2019 to just under $1.0 billion in 2021. This was followed by a sharp recovery in 2022 and 2023, peaking at approximately $2.86 billion, before decreasing substantially to around $1.27 billion in 2024. This pattern largely mirrors the reported net income but shows a slightly lower level during the mid-period years.
Reported Total Assets
Reported total assets remained relatively stable between 2019 and 2020, at about $21.4 billion. Thereafter, a substantial increase occurred by 2021, exceeding $52 billion. This was followed by a gradual decline over the next three years, dropping to approximately $48.2 billion in 2024.
Adjusted Total Assets
Adjusted total assets show a similar trend to the reported figures but on a slightly lower scale. The values rose to just above $50 billion in 2021 and then steadily decreased each subsequent year, reaching around $46.1 billion in 2024.
Reported Return on Assets (ROA)
Reported ROA declined from 6.37% in 2019 to 5.69% in 2020, followed by a more pronounced drop to 2.66% in 2021. A recovery phase ensued, with ROA rising to 5.46% in 2022 and further to 6.79% in 2023. In 2024, ROA fell significantly to 3.39%, highlighting volatility in asset profitability over the period.
Adjusted Return on Assets (ROA)
Adjusted ROA trends parallel those of the reported ROA but at slightly lower percentages. Starting at 6.42% in 2019, it decreased gradually to 1.96% in 2021, then improved to 5.04% in 2022 and 6.14% in 2023, before declining to 2.75% in 2024. This suggests that adjusted profitability on assets experienced a similar pattern of contraction and recovery compared to the reported data.
