Cisco Systems Reports Fiscal Q4 and FY2026 Results

What Happened

• On August 12, 2026, Cisco Systems, Inc. reported its results of operations for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 ended July 25, 2026 and furnished a press release as Exhibit 99.1. The filing emphasizes both GAAP and a range of non-GAAP measures and also provides future estimated non-GAAP ranges for gross margin, operating margin, tax rate and EPS. The 8-K was signed by Mark Patterson, Executive VP and Chief Financial Officer.

Key Details

• Filing date: August 12, 2026; fiscal year end: July 25, 2026.
• Exhibit 99.1: Press release reporting the quarter and full‑year results; Exhibit 104: Inline XBRL cover page data.
• Non-GAAP metrics furnished include non‑GAAP net income, gross margins, operating expenses, operating income and margin, effective tax rates, interest/other income (loss), and non‑GAAP EPS, plus future estimated ranges for several non‑GAAP metrics.
• Cisco discloses the items it excludes from non‑GAAP results when applicable: share‑based compensation, amortization of acquisition‑related intangibles, acquisition/divestiture costs, significant impairments/restructurings, major litigation settlements/contingencies, gains/losses on investments, income tax effects of these items, and significant tax matters. The filing states these non‑GAAP measures are supplemental and not a substitute for GAAP.

Why It Matters

• Retail investors get Cisco’s latest quarterly and full‑year results and forward-looking non‑GAAP guidance via the furnished press release. The company’s disclosure of which items it excludes helps explain differences between GAAP and non‑GAAP figures, but Cisco cautions these adjusted metrics are not GAAP and should be considered alongside the GAAP results. The 8‑K contains no detailed numeric GAAP results in the filing text itself — investors should review the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) and Cisco’s financial statements for the full numeric details.
