Stock Compensation Expense
The Company recorded $98 million, $101 million and $74 million of stock
-
based compensation during
fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded $15 million, $27 million and $16 million of stock-based
compensation in fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with the assumed options and nonvested shares exchanged in the
Maxtor acquisition (see Note 10).
As required by SFAS No. 123(R), management made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs only for
those equity awards expected to vest.
In accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 123(R), the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax benefits related to the excess of
proceeds from employee’s exercises of stock options over the stock-based compensation cost recognized for those options) are classified as
financing cash flows. The Company recorded approximately $6 million of excess tax benefits as a financing cash inflow during fiscal year 2008.
The Company did not recognize any cash flows from excess tax benefits during fiscal year 2007. The Company recorded approximately
$44 million of excess tax benefits as a financing cash inflow during fiscal year 2006.
