Daniel Connally · VP Investor Relations
How to check this claim
Look at: Noncash stock compensation expense, full fiscal year
It came true if: Between $890 million and $920 million
Where: Company income statement / non-GAAP reconciliation (10-K or Q4 earnings release)
In context
“flected 120 basis points of impact from tariffs. We are updating our estimate for non-GAAP gross profit margin to be within a range of 67.5% and 68.5% of revenue, which now reflects 100 basis points of impact from tariffs as well as higher input costs in other areas, including freight and semiconductor memory. Other factors for the year include faster growth of newer products in daVinci 5 and Ion, modest incremental depreciation from recent facility expansion and the impact from higher da Vinci system upgrades, partially offset by cost reductions. Our actual non-GAAP gross profit margin will vary quarter-to-quarter depending largely on product, regional and trade-in mix and pricing. In regard to operating expenses, we now expect non-GAAP operating expense growth to be between 11% and 14%. We continue to estimate noncash stock compensation expense between $890 million and $920 million. We now forecast other income, which is comprised mostly of interest income, to total between $315 million and $335 million due primarily to lower average cash balances following share repurchase activity in Q1. With regard to income tax, we continue to expect our non-GAAP income tax rate to be between 22% and 23% of pretax income. That concludes our prepared remarks. We will now open the call to your questions. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Our first question will come from the line of Travis Steed with Bank of America. Travis Steed: Congrats on a good quarter. Maybe to start, I kind of want to talk a little bit about some of the future. You talked a lot about data and digital infrastructure, augmented dexterity. Just kind of curious how you see the digital and data road map for Intui”
