Cisco Systems, Inc. filed an 8-K on February 11, 2026, to report its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended January 24, 2026. The filing serves as a formal notification of the release of quarterly performance data, which is provided in detail within the accompanying Exhibit 99.1. In the filing, Cisco emphasizes its use of non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results. Management utilizes these non-GAAP metrics for internal budgeting and performance evaluation. The company explicitly excludes several categories of expenses from its non-GAAP calculations, including share-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, significant asset impairments, restructuring charges, litigation settlements, and gains or losses on investments.

Cisco maintains that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a clearer view of business trends and financial condition, though it cautions that these figures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP-compliant financial statements. The company notes that it will continue to incur many of these excluded expenses in future periods and reserves the right to adjust its non-GAAP methodology as necessary to provide what it deems useful information to stakeholders.
