Equity Research Analyst

Routine earnings 8-K furnishing non-GAAP results framework; impact depends entirely on details in Exhibit 99.1.

This Form 8-K from Keysight Technologies, Inc. announces that the company released financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and full year ended October 31, 2025. The key content is actually in Exhibit 99.1, a press release with the detailed numbers, which this filing only references and “furnishes” rather than formally “files.” The company also highlights its use of non-GAAP metrics to evaluate performance at both segment and enterprise levels.

The disclosure explains that non-GAAP results exclude items such as amortization of acquisition-related balances, share-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring and other one-time adjustments. Management indicates it uses these adjusted measures for internal comparisons over time, comparisons to competitors, and for external guidance. The filing notes that these metrics differ from GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, which helps set expectations about comparability.

This is a standard earnings-release 8-K, with no specific quantitative results, guidance, or new commitments included in the text provided. The main items to watch are the detailed GAAP and non-GAAP figures, reconciliation tables, and any outlook language within Exhibit 99.1 dated November 24, 2025, along with how recurring exclusions such as share-based compensation and restructuring are described over time.

On November 24, 2025, Keysight Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued its press release announcing financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2025. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and to enhance our investors’ overall understanding of our core current financial performance and our prospects for the future. We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to the GAAP presentation. Management assesses segment and enterprise performance using measures such as those that are disclosed in this release. This information is used to facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results, comparisons to competitors’ operating results and guidance provided to investors. Non-GAAP information allows for greater transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operations decision making. We believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It excludes items, such as amortization of acquisition-related balances, share-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring and others, including any one-time adjustments that may have a material effect on the Company’s expenses and income from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly stated but does not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the Company. The non-GAAP information we provide may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

Additional explanation of non-GAAP information is provided in Exhibit 99.1.
