“We intend to maintain this target quarterly dividend throughout fiscal ‘23, subject to quarterly Board approval.”
Kirsten Spears · CFO
In context
“And free cash flow grew 22% year-on-year to $16.3 billion or 49% of fiscal ‘22 revenue. Turning to capital allocation. For fiscal ‘22, we spent $15.5 billion, consisting of $7 billion in the form of cash dividends and $8.5 billion in repurchases and eliminations. We ended the year with $13 billion of authorized share repurchase programs remaining and expect to resume our repurchase of common stock as soon as we can under SEC rules. Excluding the potential impact of any share repurchases, in Q1, we expect the non-GAAP diluted share count to be $435 million. Aligned with our ability to generate increased cash flows in the preceding year, we are announcing an increase in our quarterly common stock cash dividend in Q1 fiscal 2023 to $4.60 per share, an increase of 12% from the prior quarter. We intend to maintain this target quarterly dividend throughout fiscal ‘23, subject to quarterly Board approval. This implies our fiscal 2023 annual common stock dividend to be a record $18.40 per share. I would like to highlight that this represents the 12th consecutive increase in annual dividends since we initiated dividends in fiscal 2011. That concludes my prepared remarks. Operator, please open up the call for questions. Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And today’s first question will come from C.J. Muse with Evercore ISI. Please go ahead. C.J. Muse: You talked about infrastructure holding up well across most segments. I guess, I was hoping you could speak more to why infrastructure to date has been so immune from the weakness we’ve seen elsewhere in semis. Specifically, can you speak to trends you’re seeing perhaps in hyperscale versus enterprise? Any differences there? And also,”
