However, this new tax legislation resulted in a non-cash $5.7 billion charge, or $5.29 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to establish a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal deferred tax assets, as we now expect to be subject to the U.S. corporate alternative minimum tax beginning in fiscal 2026. This charge was excluded from our Non-GAAP metrics but impacted our GAAP results.
