FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company maintains an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. The Company’s mutual funds, which are related to the Company’s obligations under the deferred compensation plan, are classified as trading securities. Investments classified as trading securities are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. Differences between the cost and fair value of trading securities are recognized as other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All of the Company’s other investments are classified as available-for-sale and consequently are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Fair Value The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The level of an asset or liability in the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2: Valuations based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Valuations based on unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities and based on non-binding, broker-provided price quotes and may not have been corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s primary financial instruments include its cash, cash equivalents, investments, restricted cash and investments, long-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and capital leases, and foreign currency related derivative instruments. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. The estimated fair values of capital lease obligations approximate their carrying value as the substantial majority of these obligations have interest rates that adjust to market rates on a periodic basis. Refer to Note 11 for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company’s convertible notes senior notes. The following table sets forth the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, investments, restricted cash and investments, and other assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 25, 2016 and June 26, 2016 : September 25, 2016 (Reported Within) Cost Unrealized Unrealized Fair Value Cash and Investments Restricted Other (in thousands) Cash $ 768,071 $ — $ — $ 768,071 $ 762,458 $ — $ 5,613 $ — Level 1: Time Deposit 913,725 — — 913,725 663,698 — 250,027 — Money Market Funds 4,180,031 — — 4,180,031 4,180,031 — — — U.S. Treasury and Agencies 366,017 951 (3 ) 366,965 86,092 280,873 — — Mutual Funds 39,010 1,773 (195 ) 40,588 — — — 40,588 Level 1 Total 5,498,783 2,724 (198 ) 5,501,309 4,929,821 280,873 250,027 40,588 Level 2: Municipal Notes and Bonds 201,502 183 (76 ) 201,609 — 201,609 — — Government-Sponsored Enterprises 31,701 49 (14 ) 31,736 — 31,736 — — Foreign Government Bonds 14,357 20 (1 ) 14,376 — 14,376 — — Corporate Notes and Bonds 937,712 2,871 (201 ) 940,382 169,422 770,960 — — Mortgage Backed Securities — Residential 15,747 53 (141 ) 15,659 — 15,659 — — Mortgage Backed Securities — Commercial 37,661 18 (117 ) 37,562 — 37,562 — — Level 2 Total 1,238,680 3,194 (550 ) 1,241,324 169,422 1,071,902 — — Total $ 7,505,534 $ 5,918 $ (748 ) $ 7,510,704 $ 5,861,701 $ 1,352,775 $ 255,640 $ 40,588 June 26, 2016 (Reported Within) Cost Unrealized Unrealized Fair Value Cash and Investments Restricted Other (in thousands) Cash $ 418,216 $ — $ — $ 418,216 $ 412,573 $ — $ 5,643 $ — Level 1: Time Deposit 904,243 — — 904,243 659,465 — 244,778 — Money Market Funds 3,904,288 — — 3,904,288 3,904,288 — — — U.S. Treasury and Agencies 446,530 2,041 (2 ) 448,569 62,996 385,573 — — Mutual Funds 39,318 1,400 (397 ) 40,321 — — — 40,321 Level 1 Total 5,294,379 3,441 (399 ) 5,297,421 4,626,749 385,573 244,778 40,321 Level 2: Municipal Notes and Bonds 265,386 355 (16 ) 265,725 — 265,725 — — U.S. Treasury and Agencies 8,068 151 — 8,219 — 8,219 — — Government-Sponsored Enterprises 31,885 91 (13 ) 31,963 — 31,963 — — Foreign Government Bonds 41,440 76 (4 ) 41,512 — 41,512 — — Corporate Notes and Bonds 979,566 4,341 (566 ) 983,341 — 983,341 — — Mortgage Backed Securities — Residential 17,395 37 (152 ) 17,280 — 17,280 — — Mortgage Backed Securities — Commercial 55,129 30 (160 ) 54,999 — 54,999 — — Level 2 Total 1,398,869 5,081 (911 ) 1,403,039 — 1,403,039 — — Total $ 7,111,464 $ 8,522 $ (1,310 ) $ 7,118,676 $ 5,039,322 $ 1,788,612 $ 250,421 $ 40,321 The Company accounts for its investment portfolio at fair value. Realized gains (losses) for investment sales are specifically identified. Management assesses the fair value of investments in debt securities that are not actively traded through consideration of interest rates and their impact on the present value of the cash flows to be received from the investments. The Company also considers whether changes in the credit ratings of the issuer could impact the assessment of fair value. The Company did not recognize any losses on investments due to other-than-temporary impairments during the three months ended September 25, 2016 or September 27, 2015 . Additionally, gross realized gains and gross realized (losses) from sales of investments were approximately $2.6 million and $0.2 million , respectively, in the three months ended September 25, 2016 and $0.2 million and $0.7 million , respectively, in the three months ended September 27, 2015 . The following is an analysis of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, investments, and restricted cash and investments in unrealized loss positions: September 25, 2016 Unrealized Losses Unrealized Losses Total Fair Value Gross Fair Value Gross Fair Value Gross (in thousands) Municipal Notes and Bonds $ 110,401 $ (71 ) $ 1,995 $ (5 ) $ 112,396 $ (76 ) U.S. Treasury & Agencies 8,247 (3 ) — — 8,247 (3 ) Mutual Funds — — 8,964 (195 ) 8,964 (195 ) Government-Sponsored Enterprises 419 — 621 (14 ) 1,040 (14 ) Foreign Government Bonds 4,250 (1 ) — — 4,250 (1 ) Corporate Notes and Bonds 147,348 (83 ) 47,805 (118 ) 195,153 (201 ) Mortgage Backed Securities — Residential 8,469 (57 ) 3,897 (84 ) 12,366 (141 ) Mortgage Backed Securities — Commercial 28,585 (82 ) 6,318 (35 ) 34,903 (117 ) $ 307,719 $ (297 ) $ 69,600 $ (451 ) $ 377,319 $ (748 ) The amortized cost and fair value of cash equivalents, investments and restricted investments with contractual maturities are as follows as of September 25, 2016 : Cost Estimated (in thousands) Due in one year or less $ 5,898,756 $ 5,898,959 Due after one year through five years 730,005 733,625 Due in more than five years 69,692 69,461 $ 6,698,453 $ 6,702,045 The Company has the ability, if necessary, to liquidate its investments in order to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the next 12 months. Accordingly, those investments with contractual maturities greater than one year from the date of purchase nonetheless are classified as short-term on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative Instruments and Hedging The Company carries derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”) on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. The Company enters into foreign currency forward derivative contracts and foreign currency options with financial institutions with the primary objective of reducing volatility of earnings and cash flows related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The counterparties to these derivative contracts are large global financial institutions that the Company believes are creditworthy, and therefore, it does not consider the risk of counterparty nonperformance to be material. Cash Flow Hedges The Company’s financial position is routinely subjected to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on non-U.S. dollar transactions or cash flows, primarily from Japanese yen-denominated revenues, and euro denominated and Korean won-denominated expenses. The Company’s policy is to mitigate the foreign exchange risk arising from the fluctuations in the value of these non-U.S. dollar denominated transactions or cash flows through a foreign currency cash flow hedging program, using forward contracts and foreign currency options that generally expire within 12 months and no later than 24 months . These hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and are carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value with the effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in revenue/expense in the same period the hedged items are recognized. In addition, the Company enters into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the variability of cash flows due to changes in certain benchmark interest rates on fixed rate debt. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges at inception and are settled in conjunction with the issuance of debt. The effective portion of the contracts’ gain or loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and is amortized into income as the hedged item impacts earnings. During fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015 , the Company entered into and settled a series of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements, with a total notional value of $600 million and $375 million , respectively, that were settled in conjunction with the issuance of debt during the three months ended June 26, 2016 and March 29, 2015, respectively. At inception and at each quarter end, hedges are tested prospectively and retrospectively for effectiveness using regression analysis. Changes in the fair value of the forward contracts due to changes in time value are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and are recognized in revenue or expense in the current period. The change in time value related to these contracts was not material for all reported periods. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange options due to changes in time value are included in the assessment of effectiveness. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship must meet criteria relating both to the derivative instrument and the hedged item. These criteria include identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows will be measured. There were no material gains or losses during three months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 associated with ineffectiveness or forecasted transactions that failed to occur. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge and the hedges must be tested to demonstrate an expectation of providing highly effective offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. When derivative instruments are designated and qualify as effective cash flow hedges, the Company recognizes effective changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged exposure is realized. Consequently, with the exception of excluded time value associated with the forward contracts and hedge ineffectiveness recognized, the Company’s results of operations are not subject to fluctuation as a result of changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. If hedges are not highly effective or if the Company does not believe that the underlying hedged forecasted transactions will occur, the Company may not be able to account for its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. If this were to occur, future changes in the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments would be recognized in earnings. Additionally, related amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to income immediately. As of September 25, 2016 , the Company had losses of $5.3 million accumulated in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to foreign exchange cash flow hedges which it expects to reclassify from other comprehensive income into earnings over the next 12 months . Additionally, the Company had a net loss of $0.8 million accumulated in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to interest rate contracts which it expects to reclassify from other comprehensive income into earnings over the next 9.7 years . As a result of the October 5, 2016 termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with KLA-Tencor Corporation ("KLA-Tencor") (see Note 15 for additional information), a gain of approximately $1.1 million accumulated in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to interest rate contracts associated with the 2026 Notes (as defined in Note 11) will be reclassified into earnings in the three months ended December 25, 2016. Fair Value Hedges During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 , the Company entered into a series of interest rate contracts with a total notional value of $400 million whereby the Company receives fixed rates and pays variable rates based on certain benchmark interest rates, resulting in a net increase or decrease to interest expense, a component of Other expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These interest rate contracts are designated as fair value hedges and hedge against changes in the fair value of our debt portfolio. The Company concluded that these interest rate contracts meet the criteria necessary to qualify for the short-cut method of hedge accounting, and as such an assumption is made that the change in the fair value of the hedged debt, due to changes in the benchmark rate, exactly offsets the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap. Therefore, the derivative is considered to be effective at achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged liability, and no ineffectiveness is recognized. Balance Sheet Hedges The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge fluctuations associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily third party accounts receivables, accounts payables and intercompany receivables and payables. These forward contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded as a component of other income (expense) and offsets the change in fair value of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, which are also recorded in other income (expense). As of September 25, 2016 , the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency contracts that were entered into under its cash flow and balance sheet hedge program: Notional Value Derivatives Designated as Derivatives Not Designated (in thousands) Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Buy Contracts Sell Contracts Buy Contracts Sell Contracts Japanese yen $ — $ 104,039 $ — $ 181,405 Swiss franc — — 7,387 — Euro 24,049 — 31,518 — Korean won 5,740 — 9,402 — Chinese renminbi — — 8,215 Singapore dollar — — 33,867 — Taiwan dollar — — 22,790 — $ 29,789 $ 104,039 $ 113,179 $ 181,405 Foreign Currency Option Contracts Buy Put Sell Put Buy Put (1) Sell Put Japanese yen $ — $ — $ 15,695 $ 15,695 (1) Contracts were entered into and designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, contracts were subsequently de-designated, changes in fair market value subsequent to de-designation effect current earnings. The fair value of derivative instruments in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 25, 2016 and June 26, 2016 were as follows: September 25, 2016 June 26, 2016 Fair Value of Derivative Instruments (Level 2) Fair Value of Derivative Instruments (Level 2) Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Balance Sheet Fair Value Balance Sheet Fair Value Balance Sheet Fair Value Balance Sheet Fair Value (in thousands) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange forward contracts Prepaid expense $ 113 Accrued liabilities $ 5,734 Prepaid expense $ 249 Accrued liabilities $ 16,585 Interest rate contracts, short-term Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 2,623 Prepaid expense — Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 50 Prepaid expense 159 Interest rate contracts, long-term Other assets 4,968 Other long-term liabilities — Other assets 8,661 Other long-term liabilities — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange forward contracts Prepaid expense 279 Accrued 83 Prepaid expense 107 Accrued 1,529 Total derivatives $ 7,983 $ 5,817 $ 9,067 $ 18,273 Under the master netting agreements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, the Company is allowed to net settle transactions of the same currency with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, the Company has elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis on its balance sheet. As of September 25, 2016 , the potential effect of rights of off-set associated with the above foreign exchange and interest rate contracts would be an offset to assets and liabilities by $4.4 million , resulting in a net derivative asset of $3.6 million and net derivative liability of $1.4 million . As of June 26, 2016 , the potential effect of rights of set-off associated with the above foreign exchange contracts would be an offset to both assets and liabilities by $6.4 million , resulting in a net derivative asset of $2.7 million and a net derivative liability of $11.9 million . The Company is not required to pledge, nor is the Company entitled to receive, cash collateral for these derivative transactions. The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, including accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) was as follows: Three Months Ended September 25, 2016 Three Months Ended September 27, 2015 Effective Portion Ineffective Effective Portion Ineffective Location of Gain (Loss) Gain (Loss) Gain (Loss) Loss Gain (Loss) Gain (Loss) Derivatives Designated (in thousands) Foreign Exchange Contracts Revenue $ (2,913 ) $ (13,605 ) $ 705 $ (69 ) $ (1,378 ) $ 32 Foreign Exchange Contracts Cost of goods sold 235 173 (67 ) (415 ) 1,505 (22 ) Foreign Exchange Contracts Selling, general, and (24 ) (9 ) (21 ) (173 ) 258 (7 ) Interest Rate Contracts Other expense, net — 9 — — (94 ) — $ (2,702 ) $ (13,432 ) $ 617 $ (657 ) $ 291 $ 3 The effect of derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows: Three Months Ended September 25, 2016 September 27, 2015 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Location Loss Recognized Gain (in thousands) Foreign Exchange Contracts Other $ (383 ) $ 6,007 Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, restricted cash and investments, trade accounts receivable, and derivative financial instruments used in hedging activities. Cash is placed on deposit at large global financial institutions. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are creditworthy and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances. The Company’s overall portfolio of available-for-sale securities must maintain an average minimum rating of “AA-” or “Aa3” as rated by Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Services, or Fitch Ratings. To ensure diversification and minimize concentration, the Company’s policy limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution or commercial issuer. The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on foreign currency forward hedge contracts that are used to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, and on contracts related to structured share repurchase arrangements. These counterparties are large global financial institutions and, to date, no such counterparty has failed to meet its financial obligations to the Company. Credit risk evaluations, including trade references, bank references and Dun & Bradstreet ratings, are performed on all new customers and the Company monitors its customers’ financial condition and payment performance. In general, the Company does not require collateral on sales. |
