Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025.
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these statements as a result of certain factors.
Results of Operations
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $13.51 billion, compared with $7.19 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Cost of revenue was $4.52 billion and gross profit was $8.99 billion, or 66.5% of revenue.
Operating expenses were $3.50 billion, and operating income was $5.49 billion. See Note 3 for the disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment and by geography.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was 66.5% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared with 64.6% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase was primarily driven by product mix, partially offset by higher inventory provisions.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expense increased from the prior-year period, primarily due to compensation and benefits, including stock-based compensation, reflecting employee growth.
