Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Trade Compliance Matters We are investigating our past compliance with relevant U.S. trade controls and have made voluntary disclosures of apparent trade controls violations to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) and the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”). We are cooperating with the BIS and DDTC on these matters, and both our internal assessment and the resulting investigations by the agencies remain ongoing. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of the agencies’ investigations. An unfavorable outcome may include fines or penalties imposed in response to our disclosures, but we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the extent of any such fines or penalties. While we have reserved for potential fines and penalties relating to these matters based on our current understanding of the facts, the investigations into these matters have yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigations and related fines and penalties may differ from amounts currently reserved. Environmental Matters We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of March 25, 2022, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $18 million to $45 million, and we accrued $21 million as the probable loss, which was the best estimate within this range. We believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Guarantees In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. At March 25, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $120 million, excluding those related to our Subsea Communications (“SubCom”) business which are discussed below. During fiscal 2019, we sold our SubCom business. In connection with the sale, we contractually agreed to continue to honor performance guarantees and letters of credit related to the SubCom business’ projects that existed as of the date of sale. These performance guarantees and letters of credit had a combined value of approximately $117 million as of March 25, 2022 and are expected to expire at various dates through fiscal 2027. We have contractual recourse against the SubCom business if we are required to perform on any SubCom guarantees; however, based on historical experience, we do not anticipate having to perform.

Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments	10. Financial Instruments Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk We utilize cross-currency swap contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain intercompany loans. The aggregate notional value of these contracts was €300 million and €700 million at March 25, 2022 and September 24, 2021, respectively. Certain contracts were terminated in the six months ended March 25, 2022; the remaining contracts mature in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Under the terms of these contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, we make interest payments in euros at 3.50% per annum and receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 5.28% per annum. Upon maturity, we will pay the notional value of the contracts in euros and receive U.S. dollars from our counterparties. In connection with the cross-currency swap contracts, both counterparties to each contract are required to provide cash collateral. These cross-currency swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 25, ​ September 24, ​ ​ 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 11 ​ $ — ​ Other liabilities ​ — ​ 20 ​ ​ At March 25, 2022 and September 24, 2021, collateral received from or paid to our counterparties approximated the net derivative position. Collateral is recorded in accrued and other current liabilities when the contracts are in a net asset position, or prepaid expenses and other current assets when the contracts are in a net liability position on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impacts of these cross-currency swap contracts were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ ​ 2022 2021 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) ​ $ (2) ​ $ — ​ $ (5) $ (4) ​ Gains (losses) excluded from the hedging relationship (1) ​ 10 ​ 28 ​ 39 ​ (12) ​ (1) Gains and losses excluded from the hedging relationship are recognized prospectively in selling, general, and administrative expenses and are offset by losses and gains generated as a result of re-measuring certain intercompany loans to the U.S. dollar. Hedge of Net Investment We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany loans and external borrowings denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $3,166 million and $3,798 million at March 25, 2022 and September 24, 2021, respectively. We also use a cross-currency swap program to hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations. The aggregate notional value of the contracts under this program was $1,691 million and $1,430 million at March 25, 2022 and September 24, 2021, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 1.55% per annum and pay no interest. Upon the maturity of these contracts at various dates through fiscal 2025, we will pay the notional value of the contracts in the designated foreign currency and receive U.S. dollars from our counterparties. We are not required to provide collateral for these contracts. These cross-currency swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 25, ​ September 24, ​ ​ 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 16 ​ $ 3 ​ Other assets ​ 46 ​ 18 ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ 13 ​ Other liabilities ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ 18 ​ ​ The impacts of our hedge of net investment programs were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ ​ 2022 2021 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) on intercompany loans and external borrowings (1) ​ $ 80 ​ $ 133 ​ $ 188 ​ $ (35) ​ Gains (losses) on cross-currency swap contracts designated as hedges of net investment (1) ​ 33 ​ 58 ​ 70 ​ (27) ​ (1) Recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and offset by changes attributable to the translation of the net investment. Interest Rate Risk Management We may utilize forward starting interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt. During the six months ended March 25, 2022, we terminated forward starting interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $450 million as a result of the issuance of our 2.50% senior notes due in 2032. At fiscal year end 2021, these forward starting interest rate swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as follows; there were no such balances at March 25, 2022: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 24, ​ ​ 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 7 ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ ​ 38 ​ ​ The impacts of these forward starting interest rate swap contracts were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ ​ 2022 2021 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Gains recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) ​ $ 11 ​ $ 34 ​ $ 13 $ 47 ​ ​ Commodity Hedges As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, we utilize commodity swap contracts. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production. These contracts had an aggregate notional value of $599 million and $512 million at March 25, 2022 and September 24, 2021, respectively, and were designated as cash flow hedges. These commodity swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 25, ​ September 24, ​ ​ 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 39 ​ $ 23 ​ Other assets ​ 5 ​ — ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ 18 ​ Other liabilities ​ ​ — ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ The impacts of these commodity swap contracts were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ March 25, ​ March 26, ​ ​ 2022 2021 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Gains recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) ​ $ 46 ​ $ 17 ​ $ 61 $ 54 ​ Gains reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into cost of sales ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ 24 ​ ​ 20 ​ ​ 39 ​ ​ We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with commodity hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months.

Income Taxes	12. Income Taxes We recorded income tax expense of $136 million and $106 million for the quarters ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, respectively. The income tax expense for the quarter ended March 25, 2022 included $27 million of income tax expense related to the write-down of certain deferred tax assets to the lower tax rate enacted in the canton of Schaffhausen on December 27, 2021. In addition, the income tax expense for the quarter ended March 25, 2022 included a $19 million income tax benefit related to the tax impacts of an intercompany transaction. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 includes a total income tax benefit of approximately $75 million related to this transaction, with a portion recognized in the first six months of fiscal 2022 and the remainder to be recognized in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2022. We recorded income tax expense of $246 million and $166 million for the six months ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, respectively. The income tax expense for the six months ended March 25, 2022 included a $36 million income tax benefit related to the tax impacts of the intercompany transaction discussed above and $27 million of income tax expense related to the write-down of certain deferred tax assets to the lower tax rate enacted in the canton of Schaffhausen. In addition, the income tax expense for the six months ended March 25, 2022 included $12 million of income tax expense related to an income tax audit of an acquired entity. As we are entitled to indemnification of pre-acquisition period tax obligations under the terms of the purchase agreement, we recorded an associated indemnification receivable and other income of $11 million during the six months ended March 25, 2022. The income tax expense for the six months ended March 26, 2021 included a $29 million income tax benefit related to an Internal Revenue Service approved change in the tax method of depreciating or amortizing certain assets During the quarter ended March 25, 2022, we completed additional intercompany transactions that resulted in a non-U.S. subsidiary recording an increase in deferred tax assets for tax loss and credit carryforwards of approximately $4.0 billion. We do not expect this subsidiary to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize these deferred tax assets; therefore, we recognized a corresponding increase to the valuation Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that approximately $100 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months. We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 25, 2022.
