Mark Patterson, Executive Vice President and CFO at Cisco, participated in the company’s Q3 fiscal year 2026 earnings conference call on May 13, 2026. During the call, Patterson stated that Cisco now expects to take approximately $9 billion in AI infrastructure orders from hyperscalers in fiscal year 2026, which he described as four and a half times the company’s fiscal year 2025 total. He also said Cisco expects to recognize about $4 billion in AI infrastructure revenue from hyperscalers in fiscal year 2026, noting the business is nonlinear and will accelerate significantly in the fourth quarter. Patterson addressed questions about potential order pull-forwards, stating it was reasonable to assume some level of pull-ahead into Q3 but that the amount was “very modest.” He attributed about half of the acceleration in non-web-scale order growth to price increases, noting that Cisco tightened its terms and conditions to give customers only 15 days’ notice for price increases to manage memory pricing volatility. Additionally, Patterson said Cisco expects to recognize up to $1 billion in pretax charges as part of its announced restructuring plan, with $450 million to be recognized in Q4 fiscal year 2026 and the remainder during fiscal year 2027.
