Unusual tax situation
It turns out that ARM Holdings received a tax benefit of USD 172 million. It is always a bit noteworthy when a company is paid by a tax officer rather than a tax officer. Receiving tax benefits is clearly a good thing in itself. But the detailed demon is that this kind of profit only affects the year they are reserved, and is often inherently one-off. If tax incentives are likely to not be repeated, then at least without strong growth, you will hope for a lower level of statutory profits.

Our view on ARM Holdings’ profit performance
In its final report, ARM Holdings reported that it received tax incentives rather than payment tax. Given that such benefits are not repeated, focusing on statutory profits may make the company look better than it actually is. For this reason, we believe that ARM Holdings’ statutory profits are superior to its underlying profitability. The silver lining is truly amazing, even if it’s not a perfect measure of EPS growth last year.
