"Research and development expense increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to higher infrastructure-related costs, including investments in artificial intelligence, and headcount-related expenses."
"Demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure has increased substantially across the technology industry, resulting in constrained supply, extended lead times, and increasing costs."

"The Company is experiencing a period of supply constraints and increasing costs for components driven by factors such as industry supply-demand imbalances for components, including advanced semiconductors, storage (NAND) and memory (DRAM). The Company expects these trends to intensify, which, together with actions that may be taken by the Company in response to such trends, may materially adversely affect demand for the Company's products and negatively impact the Company's revenue, costs, gross margin, results of operations and financial condition."
"Tariffs and other measures that are applied to the Company's products or their components can have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including impacting the Company's supply chain, the availability of rare earths and other raw materials and components, pricing and gross margin. The ultimate impact remains uncertain and will depend on several factors."
"On April 30, 2025, the Commission fined the Company €500 million in the Article 5(4) Investigation and issued a cease and desist order requiring the Company to remove technical and commercial restrictions that prevent developers from steering users to alternative distribution channels outside the App Store."
