Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Arm Holdings plc and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”) is a global leader in the semiconductor industry. The Company’s principal operations are the licensing, marketing, research and development of microprocessors, systems intellectual property (“IP”), graphics processing units, physical IP and associated systems IP, software, tools and other related services. Corporate Reorganization In September 2023, the Company completed a board approved corporate reorganization which involved (1) the shareholders of Arm Limited exchanging each of the ordinary shares held by them in Arm Limited for newly issued ordinary shares of Arm Holdings Limited; and (2) the re-registration of Arm Holdings Limited as a public limited company under the laws of England and Wales at which time its name was changed to Arm Holdings plc. This corporate reorganization was solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Company’s corporate structure, in which Arm Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of the holding company, Arm Holdings plc. This transfer of equity resulted in the issuance of ordinary shares of Arm Holdings plc to shareholders in the same class and the same number of ordinary shares as their previous shareholding in Arm Limited. As a result of the corporate reorganization between entities under common control, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company were retrospectively adjusted for the change in reporting entity. Therefore, the historical consolidated financial statements of Arm Limited became the historical consolidated financial statements of Arm Holdings plc as of the date of the corporate reorganization. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, in our Annual Report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, income statements, statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for these interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the Arm Employee Benefit Trust (the “EBT”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements consolidate all of the Company’s affiliates, and the entities where the Company holds a controlling financial interest, because the Company holds a majority voting interest. The Company reevaluates whether there is a controlling financial interest in all entities when rights and interests change. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for expected credit losses, income taxes, share-based compensation, impairment considerations for long-lived assets, fair value estimates and impairment for investments. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis and revises estimates as circumstances change. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, anticipated results, trends, and other various assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, which requires incremental reportable segment disclosures. The new standard requires that a public entity disclose significant segment expenses, the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and how the CODM uses the reported measures in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements when adopted. The Company will adopt this standard for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2024. Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will likely result in additional required disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements when adopted. The Company will adopt this standard for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. Recently issued SEC final rules not yet adopted In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors , which requires a registrant to disclose climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business strategy, results of operations and financial condition. The rules include disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management, a registrant's governance of such risks, the financial impact on the audited financial statements, and greenhouse gas emissions. The disclosures will be required prospectively, with information for prior periods required only to the extent it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. The earliest adoption date starts from the registrant's fiscal year beginning calendar 2025, which is the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. On April 4, 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rules pending certain legal challenges. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these final rules on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | 3 - Revenue Revenue Recognition Revenue for the Company’s major product offerings consists of the following: License and Other Revenue • Intellectual property license — The Company generally licenses IP under non-exclusive license agreements that provide usage rights for specific applications for a finite or perpetual term. These licenses are made available electronically to address the customer-specific business requirements. These arrangements generally have distinct performance obligations that consist of transferring the licensed IPs, version extensions of architecture IP or releases of specified IPs, and support services. Support services consist of a stand-ready obligation to provide technical support, patches, and bug fixes over the support term. Revenue allocated to the IP license is recognized at a point in time upon the delivery or beginning of the license term, whichever is later. Revenue allocated to distinct version extensions of architecture IP or releases of specified IP, excluding when-and-if-available minor updates over the support term, are recognized at a point in time upon the delivery or beginning of license term, whichever is later. Certain license agreements provide customers with the right to access a library of current and future IPs on an unlimited basis over the contractual period depending on the terms of the applicable contract. These licensing arrangements represent stand-ready obligations in that the timing of the delivery of the underlying IPs is within the control of the customer and the extent of use in any given period does not diminish the remaining performance obligation. The contract consideration related to these arrangements is recognized ratably over the term of the contract in line with when the control of the performance obligations is transferred. Certain subscription license agreements include unspecified future IPs that are provided on a when-and-if-available basis, representing a stand-ready obligation. The contract consideration allocated to the stand-ready obligation is recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the contract, commencing upon the later of the effective date of the agreement and the transfer of the initial available IP license. • Software sales, including development systems — Sales of software, including development systems, which are not specifically designed for a given license (such as off-the-shelf software), are recognized upon delivery when control has been transferred and customer can begin to use and benefit from the license. • Professional services — Services (such as training and professional and design services) that the Company provides, which are not essential to the functionality of the IP, are separately stated and priced in the contract and accounted for separately. Training revenue is recognized as services are performed. Revenue from professional and design services are recognized over time using the input method based on engineering labor hours expended to date relative to the estimated total effort required. For such professional and design services, the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, which includes a reasonable profit margin and the performance of such services do not create an asset with an alternative use. • Support and maintenance — Support and maintenance is a stand-ready obligation to the customer that is both provided and consumed simultaneously. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period for which support and maintenance is contractually agreed pursuant to the license. Royalty Revenue For certain IP license agreements, royalties are collected on products that incorporate the Company’s IP. Royalties are recognized on an accrual basis in the quarter in which the customer ships their products, based on the Company’s technology that it contains. This estimation process for the royalty revenue accrual is based on a combination of methodologies, including the use of historical sales trends and macroeconomic factors for predictive analysis, the analysis of customer royalty reports and their sales trends and forecasts, as well as data and forecasts from third-party industry research providers. Data considered includes revenue, unit shipments, average selling price, product mix, market share and market penetration. Adjustments to revenue are required in subsequent periods to reflect changes in estimates as new information becomes available, primarily resulting from actual amounts subsequently reported by the licensees in the period following the accrual. Disaggregation of Revenue A summary of the Company’s disaggregated revenue is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, External Customers Related Parties Total (in millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 License and Other Revenue (1) $ 441 $ 180 $ 31 $ 95 $ 472 $ 275 Royalty Revenue 374 355 93 45 467 400 $ 815 $ 535 $ 124 $ 140 $ 939 $ 675 (1) Includes over-time revenue of $76 million and $17 million , and point-in-time revenue of $396 million and $258 million , for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue by geographic region is allocated to individual countries based on the principal headquarters of the customers. The geographical locations are not necessarily indicative of the country in which the customer sells products containing the Company’s technology IP. The following table summarizes information pertaining to revenue from customers based on the principal headquarters address by geographic regions: Three Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2024 2023 United States $ 558 $ 292 PRC (1) 128 141 Taiwan 115 115 Republic of Korea 63 45 Other countries 75 82 Total $ 939 $ 675 (1) “PRC” means the People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macau Special Administrative Region, but excluding Taiwan. Receivables A summary of the components of accounts receivable, net is as follows: As of (in millions) June 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 Trade receivables $ 442 $ 405 Royalty receivables 381 379 Total gross receivables 823 784 Allowance for current expected credit losses (19) (3) Total accounts receivables, net $ 804 $ 781 A summary of the movement in the allowance for current expected credit losses is as follows: (in millions) Total Balance as of March 31, 2024 $ 3 Additional provision 16 Balance as of June 30, 2024 $ 19 Contract Assets The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets are created when invoicing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to invoice becomes unconditional. Contract assets increased by $383.8 million and $663.9 million due to the timing of billings to customers, which fell into subsequent periods, as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, offset by $141.4 million and $357.4 million of contract assets transferred to accounts receivable, as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The balance and activity for loss allowances related to contract assets was immaterial for all periods presented. Contract Liabilities A reconciliation of the movement in contract liabilities is as follows: (in millions) Total Balance as of March 31, 2024 $ 915 Customer prepayment and billing in advance of performance 59 Revenue recognized in the period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period (39) Revenue recognized in the period that was included in the contract liability balance during the period (11) Balance as of June 30, 2024 $ 924 Satisfied Performance Obligations For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized from previously satisfied performance obligations in prior reporting periods was $471.1 million and $400.5 million , respectively. These amounts primarily represent royalties earned during the period. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company has elected to exclude potential future royalty receipts from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations. In certain arrangements, the Company’s right to consideration may not correspond directly with the performance of obligations. Revenue recognition for specified IP occurs upon delivery or beginning of license term, whichever is later. For certain subscription offerings, revenue allocated to unspecified future IP is recognized over-time, on a straight-line basis over the delivery period, commencing upon the later of the effective date of the arrangement and the transfer of the initial available IP license. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $2,167.8 million, which includes $1.1 million of non-cancellable and non-refundable committed funds received from certain customers, where the parties are in negotiations regarding the enforceable rights and obligations of the arrangement. The Company expects to recognize approximately 22% of remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, 14% over the subsequent 13-to 24-month period, and the remainder thereafter. |

See discussion below, along with Note 7 - Fair Value , for further information.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | 7 - Fair Value To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company classifies its fair value financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under GAAP. An explanation of each level follows the tables and qualitative disclosures below. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value, excluding investments where the NAV practical expedient has been elected, on a recurring basis: As of June 30, 2024 As of March 31, 2024 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets Money market funds $ 1,311 $ — $ — $ 1,311 $ 1,744 $ — $ — $ 1,744 Short-term investments (1) 1,000 — — 1,000 1,000 — — 1,000 Equity investments (2) 82 — 466 548 — — 466 466 Convertible loans receivable — — 33 33 — — 32 32 Foreign currency forward contracts — 3 — 3 — 4 — 4 Total financial assets $ 2,393 $ 3 $ 499 $ 2,895 $ 2,744 $ 4 $ 498 $ 3,246 Financial liabilities Foreign currency forward contracts $ — $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ — $ 4 $ — $ 4 Total financial liabilities $ — $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ — $ 4 $ — $ 4 (1) Short-term investments represent term deposits with banks with a maturity between 3 and 12 months. (2) In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. In June 2024, Raspberry Pi, a company in which the Company has an equity investment, listed its shares publicly and became actively traded in the market. Given the investment now has a published price quotation in an active market, the investment no longer qualifies for the measurement alternative and the equity investment is now measured at fair value (Level 1) prospectively in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , as of the date of the remeasurement event, the initial public offering of Raspberry Pi. The following tables summarize changes in the fair value, along with other activity associated with the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities: Equity Method Investments Three Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2024 2023 Fair value of financial assets at the beginning of the period $ 466 $ 482 Fair value losses recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements — (10) Fair value at the end of the period $ 466 $ 472 Convertible Loans Receivable Three Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2024 2023 Fair value of financial assets at the beginning of the period $ 32 $ 31 Fair value gains recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements 1 — Fair value at the end of the period $ 33 $ 31 See below for a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 investments including equity method investments, convertible loans receivable, and currency exchange contracts. Equity Method Investments The Company elected the fair value option in accordance with the guidance in ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”) for its investments in Acetone Limited and Ampere. The Company initially computed the fair value for its investments consistent with the methodology and assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist or based on inputs from the investee. The fair value computation is updated on a quarterly basis. The investments are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the fair value of the investments using the (i) the market-calibration approach based on the guideline public company method, (ii) subject to availability of sufficient information, the income approach based on the discounted cash flow method, or (iii) the probability-weighted, expected return (“PWER”) approach. The market-calibration approach considers valuation multiples that are calibrated to the valuation as of the prior valuation date (i.e., quarterly) based on: (a) changes in the broader market or industry; (b) changes in the guideline public companies; and (c) changes in the investee’s operating and financial performance. The fair value computation under this approach includes a key assumption for the range of valuation multiples (i.e., enterprise value or revenue), which requires significant professional judgment by the valuation specialist and is based on observable inputs (e.g., market data) and unobservable inputs (e.g., market participant assumptions). The PWER approach is based on discrete future exit scenarios to determine the value of various equity securities. Under the PWER approach, the share value today is based on the probability-weighted, present value of expected future distributions, taking into account the rights and preferences of each debt and equity class. The Company considers an initial public offering scenario, a sale scenario, and a scenario assuming continued operation as a private entity for future exit scenarios. The fair value computation under this approach includes key assumptions for time to liquidity outcomes, discounted rate, and present value factors. The following tables provide quantitative information related to certain key assumptions utilized in the valuation of equity method investments accounted for under the fair value option: As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 (in millions) Fair value as of June 30, 2024 Fair value as of March 31, 2024 Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs Range of Estimates Equity Method Investments $466 $466 Acetone Limited – Market-Calibration or discounted cash flow LTM Revenue Multiple 1.3x - 1.5x Ampere – PWER Probability of IPO 100% Time to future exit scenario 1.5 years Discount rate 17.6% Convertible Loans Receivable—Ampere In December 2021, the Company acquired a $29.0 million convertible promissory note in Ampere, which is included in other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is the amounts invested in, and advanced to, Ampere. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company has not converted any of its convertible promissory note into equity. The fair value of the Ampere convertible loan is based upon significant unobservable inputs, including the use of a probability weighted discounted cash flows model, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company has categorized this asset as a Level 3 financial asset. Some of the more significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the convertible loan include applicable discount rates, the likelihood and projected timing of repayment or conversion, and projected cash flows in support of the estimated enterprise value of Ampere. Changes in these assumptions, while holding other inputs constant, could result in a significant change in the fair value of the convertible loan. If the amortized cost of the convertible loan exceeds its estimated fair value, the security is deemed to be impaired, and must be evaluated for the recognition of credit losses. Impairment resulting from credit losses is recognized within earnings, while impairment resulting from other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company has not recognized any credit losses related to this convertible loan. The fair value calculated using significant unobservable inputs did not differ materially from the amortized cost basis as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Currency Exchange Contracts |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | 8 - Shareholders’ Equity Employee Benefit Trust In September 2023, the Company established the EBT, constituted by a trust deed entered into by the Company and a professional trustee, with the principal purpose to facilitate the efficient and flexible settlement of share-based compensation arrangements with employees. The Company has the power to appoint and remove the trustee and therefore, consolidates the trust. The EBT may acquire newly issued ordinary shares or American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing one ordinary share of the Company, at a nominal value or the trustee of the EBT has the power to acquire ordinary shares or ADSs of the Company in the open market, which purchases may be funded by one or more loans from the Company to the EBT or non-repayable gifts made by the Company to the EBT. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the EBT held a nominal number and 1 million, respectively, of ADSs purchased from the Company at par value. The market value of ADSs held by the EBT on June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $5.5 million and $75.4 million, respectively. These ADSs were expected to be transferred out of the EBT, in order to settle future vesting of share-based compensation for employees. As the EBT is consolidated by the Company, ordinary shares or ADSs held by the EBT are considered authorized and issued but not outstanding for the computation of earnings per share. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation | 9 - Share-based Compensation Share-based Compensation RSUs and performance share units (“PSUs”) were granted to employees, certain executive officers, and non-executive directors of the Company and require continuous service through the vesting date. The Company expenses share-based compensation over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally equivalent to the vesting term. Compensation cost is recorded only for those awards expected to vest. The fair value of RSUs is determined on the date of grant for equity-classified awards. The Company estimates forfeitures based on employee level, economic conditions, time remaining to vest and historical forfeiture experience. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, for the first time, the Company has granted PSUs with Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) as the performance measure under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. PSUs granted with a TSR as the performance measure are measured over the full three-year performance period relative to the S&P 500 IT Sector Index and have the potential to vest between 0% and 200% of the original award amount depending on the relative TSR achievement. To determine the grant date fair value of the awards with TSR-based performance measures, a Monte Carlo simulation model is used. We recognize compensation expense for the market performance-based awards over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value. Restricted Share Units – 2022 Arm Limited RSU Award Plan (“2022 RSU Plan”) The table below identifies the award activity under the 2022 RSU Plan: (in millions, except per share amounts) Awards (1) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Award (1) Outstanding as of March 31, 2024 23 $ 42.30 Granted 1 $ 91.43 Vested (8) $ 43.25 Cancelled and forfeited (1) $ 41.07 Outstanding and expected to vest as of June 30, 2024 15 $ 43.53 (1) Awards and weighted average grant date per share exclude shares related to certain executive awards that currently have no grant date as the future performance objectives have not yet been defined and/or communicated to participants of the plan. As of June 30, 2024, there was $600.6 million total unrecognized compensation cost related to awards issued under the 2022 RSU Plan which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years. Omnibus Incentive Plan In August 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) which became effective in September 2023. The maximum number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is equal to the sum of (i) 21 million ordinary shares and (ii) an annual increase on April 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2024 and ending on April 1, 2028, equal to the lesser of (A) 2% of the aggregate number of ordinary shares outstanding on March 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of ordinary shares as determined by our Board of Directors or our Remuneration Committee. No more than 21 million ordinary shares may be issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan upon the exercise of incentive stock options. In October 2023, the Company started to grant RSUs and PSUs under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to employees, including executives of the Company. The RSUs and PSUs granted neither carry rights to dividends nor voting rights until the shares are issued or transferred to the recipient. The Omnibus Incentive Plan allows for either cash or share settlement of the awards by tranche, if applicable, at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee. At the time of issuance, the Company intended to settle the RSUs and PSUs in shares at the vesting date and such awards are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The RSUs were granted to existing employees and new hires of the Company and its subsidiaries, Arm Israel and Arm France SAS and vest in tranches, require continuous service through the vesting date and are subject to graded vesting over a period of three The table below identifies all award activity under the Omnibus Incentive Plan: (in millions, except per share amounts) Awards (1) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Award (1) Outstanding as of March 31, 2024 2 $ 68.13 Granted 9 $ 117.48 Outstanding and expected to vest as of June 30, 2024 11 $ 108.58 (1) Awards and weighted average grant date per share exclude shares related to PSUs that currently have no grant date as the future performance objectives have not yet been defined and/or communicated to participants of the plan. As of June 30, 2024, there was $1,127.7 million total unrecognized compensation cost related to awards issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Share-based Compensation Cost A summary of share-based compensation cost recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2024 2023 Cost of sales $ 6 $ 6 Research and development 129 103 Selling, general and administrative 47 49 Pre-tax share-based compensation cost $ 182 $ 158 Less: income tax effect 12 29 Net share-based compensation cost $ 170 $ 129 No share-based compensation cost was capitalized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. |

Income Taxes | 10 - Income Taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense was $21.0 million and $22.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes was 8.6% and 17.3%, respectively. The effective rate decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to windfall tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arising in the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the effective rate differed from the U.K. statutory rate of 25% in both periods, primarily due to patent box, research and development tax credits and the tax impact of share-based compensation cost. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, in our Annual Report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, income statements, statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for these interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the Arm Employee Benefit Trust (the “EBT”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements consolidate all of the Company’s affiliates, and the entities where the Company holds a controlling financial interest, because the Company holds a majority voting interest. The Company reevaluates whether there is a controlling financial interest in all entities when rights and interests change. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for expected credit losses, income taxes, share-based compensation, impairment considerations for long-lived assets, fair value estimates and impairment for investments. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis and revises estimates as circumstances change. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, anticipated results, trends, and other various assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates. |
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted and Recently issued SEC final rules not yet adopted | Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, which requires incremental reportable segment disclosures. The new standard requires that a public entity disclose significant segment expenses, the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and how the CODM uses the reported measures in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements when adopted. The Company will adopt this standard for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2024. Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will likely result in additional required disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements when adopted. The Company will adopt this standard for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. Recently issued SEC final rules not yet adopted In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors , which requires a registrant to disclose climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business strategy, results of operations and financial condition. The rules include disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management, a registrant's governance of such risks, the financial impact on the audited financial statements, and greenhouse gas emissions. The disclosures will be required prospectively, with information for prior periods required only to the extent it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. The earliest adoption date starts from the registrant's fiscal year beginning calendar 2025, which is the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. On April 4, 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rules pending certain legal challenges. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these final rules on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue for the Company’s major product offerings consists of the following: License and Other Revenue • Intellectual property license — The Company generally licenses IP under non-exclusive license agreements that provide usage rights for specific applications for a finite or perpetual term. These licenses are made available electronically to address the customer-specific business requirements. These arrangements generally have distinct performance obligations that consist of transferring the licensed IPs, version extensions of architecture IP or releases of specified IPs, and support services. Support services consist of a stand-ready obligation to provide technical support, patches, and bug fixes over the support term. Revenue allocated to the IP license is recognized at a point in time upon the delivery or beginning of the license term, whichever is later. Revenue allocated to distinct version extensions of architecture IP or releases of specified IP, excluding when-and-if-available minor updates over the support term, are recognized at a point in time upon the delivery or beginning of license term, whichever is later. Certain license agreements provide customers with the right to access a library of current and future IPs on an unlimited basis over the contractual period depending on the terms of the applicable contract. These licensing arrangements represent stand-ready obligations in that the timing of the delivery of the underlying IPs is within the control of the customer and the extent of use in any given period does not diminish the remaining performance obligation. The contract consideration related to these arrangements is recognized ratably over the term of the contract in line with when the control of the performance obligations is transferred. Certain subscription license agreements include unspecified future IPs that are provided on a when-and-if-available basis, representing a stand-ready obligation. The contract consideration allocated to the stand-ready obligation is recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the contract, commencing upon the later of the effective date of the agreement and the transfer of the initial available IP license. • Software sales, including development systems — Sales of software, including development systems, which are not specifically designed for a given license (such as off-the-shelf software), are recognized upon delivery when control has been transferred and customer can begin to use and benefit from the license. • Professional services — Services (such as training and professional and design services) that the Company provides, which are not essential to the functionality of the IP, are separately stated and priced in the contract and accounted for separately. Training revenue is recognized as services are performed. Revenue from professional and design services are recognized over time using the input method based on engineering labor hours expended to date relative to the estimated total effort required. For such professional and design services, the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, which includes a reasonable profit margin and the performance of such services do not create an asset with an alternative use. • Support and maintenance — Support and maintenance is a stand-ready obligation to the customer that is both provided and consumed simultaneously. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period for which support and maintenance is contractually agreed pursuant to the license. Royalty Revenue For certain IP license agreements, royalties are collected on products that incorporate the Company’s IP. Royalties are recognized on an accrual basis in the quarter in which the customer ships their products, based on the Company’s technology that it contains. This estimation process for the royalty revenue accrual is based on a combination of methodologies, including the use of historical sales trends and macroeconomic factors for predictive analysis, the analysis of customer royalty reports and their sales trends and forecasts, as well as data and forecasts from third-party industry research providers. Data considered includes revenue, unit shipments, average selling price, product mix, market share and market penetration. Adjustments to revenue are required in subsequent periods to reflect changes in estimates as new information becomes available, primarily resulting from actual amounts subsequently reported by the licensees in the period following the accrual. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company has elected to exclude potential future royalty receipts from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations. In certain arrangements, the Company’s right to consideration may not correspond directly with the performance of obligations. Revenue recognition for specified IP occurs upon delivery or beginning of license term, whichever is later. For certain subscription offerings, revenue allocated to unspecified future IP is recognized over-time, on a straight-line basis over the delivery period, commencing upon the later of the effective date of the arrangement and the transfer of the initial available IP license. |
Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments The Company elected the fair value option in accordance with the guidance in ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”) for its investments in Acetone Limited and Ampere. The Company initially computed the fair value for its investments consistent with the methodology and assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist or based on inputs from the investee. The fair value computation is updated on a quarterly basis. The investments are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the fair value of the investments using the (i) the market-calibration approach based on the guideline public company method, (ii) subject to availability of sufficient information, the income approach based on the discounted cash flow method, or (iii) the probability-weighted, expected return (“PWER”) approach. The market-calibration approach considers valuation multiples that are calibrated to the valuation as of the prior valuation date (i.e., quarterly) based on: (a) changes in the broader market or industry; (b) changes in the guideline public companies; and (c) changes in the investee’s operating and financial performance. The fair value computation under this approach includes a key assumption for the range of valuation multiples (i.e., enterprise value or revenue), which requires significant professional judgment by the valuation specialist and is based on observable inputs (e.g., market data) and unobservable inputs (e.g., market participant assumptions). The PWER approach is based on discrete future exit scenarios to determine the value of various equity securities. Under the PWER approach, the share value today is based on the probability-weighted, present value of expected future distributions, taking into account the rights and preferences of each debt and equity class. The Company considers an initial public offering scenario, a sale scenario, and a scenario assuming continued operation as a private entity for future exit scenarios. The fair value computation under this approach includes key assumptions for time to liquidity outcomes, discounted rate, and present value factors. |
