Fiscal calendar
We have a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31. Fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 in this report refers to fiscal years ended April 3, 2026, March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024, respectively. Fiscal 2026 consisted of 53 weeks, whereas fiscal years 2025 and 2024 each consisted of 52 weeks.
Financial summary
The following table provides our key financial metrics for fiscal 2026 compared with fiscal 2025:
Fiscal Year
(In millions, except for per share amounts) 2026 2025
Net revenues $ 5,000 $ 3,935
Operating income (loss) $ 2,120 $ 1,610
Net income (loss) $ 973 $ 643
Net income (loss) per share - diluted $ 1.57 $ 1.03
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 1,545 $ 1,221
As of
(In millions) April 3, 2026 March 28, 2025
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 411 $ 1,006
•Net revenues increased $1,065 million, primarily due to higher sales in both our Cyber Safety Platform products and Trust-Based Solutions, including an increase of $823 million due to the acquisition of MoneyLion, and an increase of $87 million due to the favorable impact from the additional week in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
•Operating income (loss) increased $510 million, primarily due to increased net revenues described above and decreased legal costs related to ongoing litigation. This is partially offset by an increase in marketing costs, payment processing fees, amortization of intangible assets and compensation related expenses.
•Net income (loss) increased $330 million and net income per share increased $0.54, primarily due to increased operating income discussed above partially offset by an increase in income tax expense.
•Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $595 million compared to March 28, 2025, primarily due to the cash consideration paid for our fiscal 2026 acquisitions including MoneyLion, principal payments of our Term A and B Facilities, repayment of our Term A Facility and share repurchases. This is partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of our Incremental Term Loan B and Extended Term Loan A and cash generated from operating activities during fiscal 2026.
•During fiscal 2026, we returned $1,091 million of capital back to shareholders and bondholders. This was achieved through the repurchase of 25 million shares of our common stock, totaling $634 million. Additionally, we paid out a total of $312 million in quarterly dividends and carried out $145 million in net debt pay downs.
GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS
As a global company, our results of operations and cash flows may be influenced by global macroeconomic conditions and their impact on customer behavior. Global macroeconomic conditions include, but are not limited to, increased tariffs and an uncertain global trade environment, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, the impact of interest rate fluctuations, elevated inflation, ongoing and new geopolitical conflicts, the impacts of current and future trade regulations, instability in the global banking sector, slow growth and recession risks, and changes in legislation or regulations and actions by regulators, including changes in enforcement and administrative policies, any of which may be difficult to predict and may persist for an extended period.
Despite challenging global macroeconomic conditions and although we recognize that inflation and broader economic uncertainty can influence customer behavior, we are confident in the long-term overall health of our business, the strength of our
product offerings and our ability to continue to execute on our strategy, including bringing award-winning products and services in cybersecurity and offering comprehensive financial wellness to our customers.
We continue to monitor the direct and indirect impacts of these global macroeconomic or other geopolitical factors. If the economic uncertainty continues, we may experience negative impacts on customer renewals, customer collections, sales and marketing efforts, customer deployments, product development, or other financial metrics. Additional broader implications of these events on our business, results of operations, and overall financial position still remain uncertain and could result in further adverse impacts to our reported results. For further discussion of the potential impacts of global macroeconomic conditions on our business, please see "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A and Part II, Item 7A below.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. requires us to make estimates, including judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions on a regular basis and make changes accordingly. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting amounts are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates, judgments and assumptions about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates, judgments or assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Management believes the following significant accounting policies reflect the critical estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, and a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and our expectation of the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures are included in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business combinations
We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any residual purchase price is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of purchase price requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions in determining the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed especially with respect to intangible assets.
Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from customer relationships, developed technology, trade names and other intangibles, and discount rates. Management estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Third-party valuation specialists are utilized for certain estimates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
Income taxes
We are subject to tax in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. We are required to estimate the current tax exposure as well as assess the temporary differences between the accounting and tax treatment of assets and liabilities, including items such as accruals and allowances not currently deductible for tax purposes. We apply judgment in the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes which includes the following critical accounting estimates.
We use a two-step process to recognize liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. There is judgment and complexity involved in assessing if the tax position is more likely than not. If we determine that the tax position will more likely than not be sustained on audit, the second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires us to determine the probability of various outcomes. We re-evaluate these unrecognized tax benefits on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period.
Loss contingencies
We are subject to contingencies that expose us to losses, including, but not limited to, regulatory proceedings, claims, mediations, arbitration and litigation, arising out of the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss from such contingencies is recognized as a charge to income if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. We review the status of each significant matter quarterly, and we may revise our estimates. Until the final resolution of such matters, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. Should any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements for that reporting period.
Recently adopted authoritative guidance
For a discussion of recently adopted authoritative guidance and their potential effects refer to Note 2 of our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently issued authoritative guidance not yet adopted
ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued new guidance to improve the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. This is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

2026 vs. 2025
Net revenues $ 5,000 $ 3,935 27 %
Fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025
Net revenues increased $1,065 million, due to a $163 million increase in sales of our Cyber Safety Platform products and a $902 million increase in sales of our Trust-Based Solutions, including a $823 million increase in Trust-Based Solutions due to the acquisition of MoneyLion. Net revenues also increased $87 million due to the favorable impact from the additional week in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, impacting both segment financials. Specifically, the additional week contributed $56 million to Cyber Safety Platform and $31 million to Trust-Based Solutions.
Performance Metrics
We regularly monitor a number of metrics in order to measure our current performance and estimate our future performance. We believe these key operating metrics are useful to investors because management uses these metrics to assess the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our marketing and operational strategies. Our metrics may be calculated in a manner different than similar metrics used by other companies.
The following table summarizes supplemental key performance metrics:
Fiscal Year
(In millions)
2026 2025
Cyber Safety Platform $ 3,339 $ 3,176
Trust-Based Solutions 1,661 759

As of
(In millions)
April 3, 2026 March 28, 2025
Total paid customers 79 68
Revenue from Cyber Safety Platform increased $163 million during fiscal 2026 due to growth across our cyber safety membership offerings and the additional week in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Revenue from Trust-Based Solutions increased $902 million during fiscal 2026 primarily due to the acquisition of MoneyLion, continued growth in our identity point solutions and the additional week in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Direct revenue reflects subscriptions sold directly through e-commerce or mobile channels, and revenue generated from financial transactions directly made through Gen properties or marketplaces.
Partner revenue reflects partner-sourced and channel revenue via retailers, employee benefits, telcos, publishers, and strategic partnerships, including revenue generated from product usage or products sold through our financial marketplace.
Total bookings are defined as customer orders received that are expected to generate net revenues in the future. We present the operational metric of bookings because it reflects customers' demand for our products and services and to assist readers in analyzing our performance in future periods.
We define paid customers as active users of our products and solutions, including subscribers with an active paid subscription to our products at the end of the reported period. Paid customers also includes product users with a unique account and at least one revenue-generating transaction in the relevant active period of each respective product category, whether through our first-party personal finance products, transacting through our financial marketplaces, or generating revenue through product usage. We exclude users on free trials and those who have not actively transacted in the relevant period of each respective product category.
In order to properly reflect our customer cohorts that contribute to revenue given the dynamic nature of consumers and our product portfolio, our methodology is subject to change from time to time. The methodologies used to measure these metrics require judgment and we regularly review our metrics to improve their accuracy. However, our ability to recalculate our historical metrics may be impacted by data limitations or other factors that require us to apply different methodologies for such adjustments. We generally do not intend to update previously disclosed metrics for any such inaccuracies or adjustments that are deemed not material.

Fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025
Sales and marketing expense, including the impact of the additional week in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, increased $483 million, primarily due to a $205 million in loss on sale of Instacash Advances, a $142 million increase in marketing expenses, a $67 million increase in headcount costs and a $46 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Research and development expense, including the impact of the additional week in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, increased $80 million, primarily due to a $31 million increase in headcount costs, a $19 million increase in equipment expenses, a $17 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and an $8 million increase in occupancy and IT costs.
General and administrative expense decreased $378 million, primarily due to a $354 million litigation accrual reversal related to our litigation with the Trustees of the University of Columbia in the City of New York (Columbia).

See Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information about our unrecognized tax benefits.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act) was enacted into law in the United States. The Act includes various provisions that are applicable to us beginning in fiscal 2026. These provisions include an allowance to accelerate tax deductions of certain capital expenditures, research & experimentation expenditures, and an increase to the annual limitation of tax-deductible interest expenses. The impacts of the Act are included in our operating results for fiscal 2026. The Act has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our effective tax rate.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CASH REQUIREMENTS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically relied on cash generated from operations, borrowings under credit facilities, issuances of debt and proceeds from divestitures for our liquidity needs.
Our capital allocation strategy is to balance driving stockholder returns, managing financial risk and preserving our flexibility to pursue strategic options, including acquisitions and mergers. Historically, this has included a quarterly cash dividend, the repayment of debt and the repurchase of shares of our common stock.
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, amounts available under our Revolving Facility and our future refinancing plans related to our upcoming maturities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs, support on-going business activities and finance the expected synergy costs related to the acquisition of MoneyLion through at least the next 12 months and to meet our known long-term contractual obligations. We are currently not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our capital needs during or beyond the next 12 months. However, our future liquidity and capital requirements may vary materially from those as of April 3, 2026 depending on several factors, including, but not limited to, economic conditions; political climate; the expansion of sales and marketing activities; the costs to acquire or invest in businesses; outcome of income tax audits with relevant tax authorities; resolution of legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, regulatory proceedings, claims, mediations, arbitrations and litigation; and the risks and uncertainties discussed in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A.
Cash flows
The following table summarizes our cash flow activities in fiscal 2026 and 2025:
Fiscal Year
(In millions) 2026 2025
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 1,545 $ 1,221
Investing activities $ (1,011) $ (100)
Financing activities $ (1,133) $ (970)
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
$ (595) $ 160
See Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for our supplemental cash flow information.
Cash from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,545 million in fiscal 2026 was primarily comprised of net income adjusted for the net effect of non-cash items. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, include decreases in other liabilities, Instacash Advances held for sale, income taxes payable, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable offset by an increase in contract liabilities.
Cash from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $1,011 million in fiscal 2026 was primarily related to the cash consideration paid for our fiscal 2026 acquisitions including MoneyLion.
Cash from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $1,133 million in fiscal 2026 was primarily due to repayment of our Term A Facility, principal payments of our Term A and B Facilities, repurchases of common stock under our repurchase program and quarterly dividend payments. This was partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of our Incremental Term Loan B of $750 million and Extended Term Loan A of $2,741 million.
Cash and cash equivalents
As of April 3, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $402 million, excluding restricted cash, of which $289 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Our cash and cash equivalents are managed with the objective to preserve principal, maintain liquidity and generate investment returns. The participation exemption system under current U.S. federal tax regulations generally allows us to make distributions of non-U.S. earnings to the U.S. without incurring additional U.S. federal tax; however, these distributions may be subject to applicable state or non-U.S. taxes.
Debt
We have an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1,495 million, net of our letters of credit, which expires in March 2031.
Stock repurchases
During the fiscal 2026 and 2025, we executed repurchases of 25 million and 11 million of our common stock under our existing stock repurchase program for an aggregate amount of $634 million and $272 million, respectively.
Material Cash Requirements
Our principal cash requirements are primarily to meet our working capital needs, support on-going business activities, including payment of taxes and cash dividends, payment of contractual obligations, funding capital expenditures, servicing existing debt, repurchasing shares of our common stock and investing in business acquisitions and mergers.
Debt instruments
As of April 3, 2026, our total outstanding principal amount of indebtedness is summarized as follows. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our debt.
(In millions) April 3, 2026
Term Loans $ 5,825
Senior Notes 2,450
Total debt $ 8,275
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including compliance with specified financial ratios, and includes a springing maturity provision applicable solely to the Extended Term A Facility and Revolving Facility pursuant to which the obligations under such facilities may become due and payable prior to the stated maturity dates.
As of April 3, 2026, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding our debt, including applicable financial ratios, debt covenant compliance and the springing maturity provision applicable to the Extended Term A Facility and Revolving Facility.
Dividends
On May 7, 2026, we announced a cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock to be paid in June 2026. Any future dividends and dividend equivalents will be subject to the approval from our Board of Directors.
Stock repurchase program
Under our stock repurchase program, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock on the open market (including through trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act) and through accelerated stock repurchase transactions. As of April 3, 2026, the remaining balance of our stock repurchase authorization is $2,094 million and does not have an expiration date. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities.
Restructuring
See Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further cash flow information associated with our restructuring activities.
Material contractual obligations
The following is a schedule of our material contractual commitments as of April 3, 2026. The expected timing and amount of short-term and long-term payments of the obligations in the following table is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different, depending on the time of receipt of goods or services, or changes to agreed-upon amounts for certain obligations.
(In millions) Short-Term Payments Long-Term Payments Total
Contractual obligations:
Debt (principal payments) (1)
$ 181 $ 8,094 $ 8,275
Interest payments on debt (2)
474 1,525 1,999
Purchase obligations (3)
532 106 638
Operating leases (4)
22 51 73
Total $ 1,209 $ 9,776 $ 10,985
(1)Debt (principal payment) is classified based on the currently effective stated maturity dates in force as of April 3, 2026. The classification above does not reflect any earlier maturity that could result from the application of a springing maturity date. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
(2)Interest payments calculated based on the contractual terms of the related debt instruments. Interest on variable rate debt was calculated using the interest rate in effect as of April 3, 2026. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the term loans and senior notes.
(3)Agreements for purchases of goods or services, with terms that are enforceable and legally binding and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. These amounts include agreements to purchase goods or services that have cancellation provisions requiring little or no payment. The amounts under such contracts are included because management believes that cancellation of these contracts is unlikely, and we expect to make future cash payments according to the contract terms or in similar amounts for similar materials.
(4)Payments for various non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire on various dates through fiscal 2033. The amounts in the table above exclude expected sublease income. See Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on leases.
Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits and other long-term taxes as of April 3, 2026, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, $1,584 million in long-term income taxes payable has been excluded from the contractual obligations table. See Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, subsidiaries, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, product warranties and losses arising out of our breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by us, including claims alleging that our software infringes on the intellectual property rights of a third party. In addition, our bylaws contain indemnification obligations to our directors, officers, employees and agents, and we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers to give such directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. We maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and officers. Refer to Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our indemnifications.
