CLAIM #17715 · CSCO (CSCO) · 2024Q2 earnings call · Feb 14, 2024 · due Jul 31, 2024
“after working our way through the restructuring that we discussed today, for the full year, we think they'll be modestly down.”
Scott Herren · CFO
In context
“e higher cost that we were seeing from many of our suppliers as everyone was dealing with constraints and supply demand is pretty straightforward. What we haven't seen in the wake of this, some of the commodities, the prices have come down, memory is a good example. But we haven't seen broadly is cost decreases coming in from our providers at this point. And so with that - and you see that reflected in our gross margins, which have returned to a more normal range, but are still sitting in that 66% to 67% range. So I'm not anticipating at this point, price declines pending significant cost declines coming into us. On the cost savings, you can see where we are year-to-date. We've got - if you just look at operating expenses for a minute, year-to-date, operating expenses are modestly up. And after working our way through the restructuring that we discussed today, for the full year, we think they'll be modestly down. So I think that's probably the right way to think about it as you're looking to build your model. Sami Badri: Thank you, Jim.
