Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements of Applied Materials, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Applied or the Company) included herein have been prepared on a basis consistent with the October 28, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements and include all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the information set forth therein. These unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Applied’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2018 ( 2018 Form 10-K). Applied’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Applied’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in October of each year. Fiscal 2019 and 2018 contain 52 weeks each, and the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 each contained 39 weeks. At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Applied adopted the new revenue recognition standard using the full retrospective method. All financial statements and disclosures have been recast to comply with this new guidance. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Accounting Standards Adopted” section below for further information. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, Applied evaluates its estimates, including those related to standalone selling price (SSP) related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and sales allowances, fair values of financial instruments, inventories, intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of share-based awards, and income taxes, among others. Applied bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Changes to Significant Accounting Policies Applied adopted various amended guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The following accounting policies have been updated as part of the adoption of the new standards. A llowance for Doubtful Accounts Applied maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. This allowance is based on historical experience, credit evaluations, specific customer collection history and any customer-specific issues Applied has identified. Changes in circumstances, such as an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation to Applied or its payment trends, may require Applied to further adjust its estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to Applied. Bad debt expense and any reversals are recorded in marketing and selling expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. Sales and Value Added Taxes Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Shipping and Handling Costs Applied accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, amounts billed for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of net sales and costs as a component of cost of products sold. Warranty Applied provides for the estimated cost of warranty when revenue is recognized. Estimated warranty costs are determined by analyzing specific product, current and historical configuration statistics and regional warranty support costs. Applied’s warranty obligation is affected by product and component failure rates, material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting product failures during the warranty period. If actual warranty costs differ substantially from Applied’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Applied also sells extended warranty contracts to its customers which provide an extension of the standard warranty coverage period of up to 2 years . Applied receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue ratably over the extended warranty coverage period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the extended warranty. Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers Applied recognizes revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Applied expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Applied determines revenue recognition through the following five steps; (1) identification of the contract(s) with customers, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. Identifying the contract(s) with customers. Applied sells manufacturing equipment, services, and spare parts directly to its customers in the semiconductor, display, and related industries. The Company generally considers written documentation including, but not limited to, signed purchase orders, master agreements, and sales orders as contracts provided that collection is probable. Collectability is assessed based on the customer’s creditworthiness determined by reviewing the customer’s published credit and financial information, historical payment experience, as well as other relevant factors. Identifying the performance obligations. Applied’s performance obligations include delivery of manufacturing equipment, service agreements, spare parts, installation, extended warranty and training. Applied’s service agreements are considered one performance obligation and may include multiple goods and services that Applied provides to the customer to deliver against a performance metric. Judgment is used to determine whether multiple promised goods or services in a contract should be accounted for separately or as a group. Determine the transaction price. The transaction price for Applied’s contracts with customers may include fixed and variable consideration. Applied includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation identified within the contract. Applied generally estimates the standalone selling price of a distinct performance obligation based on historical cost plus an appropriate margin. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, Applied allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Recognizing the revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. Applied recognizes revenue from equipment and spares parts at a point in time when Applied has satisfied its performance obligation by transferring control of the goods to the customer which typically occurs at shipment or delivery. Revenue from service agreements is recognized over time as customers receive the benefits of services. The incremental costs to obtain a contract are not material. Payment Terms. Payment terms vary by contract. Generally, the majority of payments are due within a certain number of days from shipment of goods or performance of service. The remainder is typically due upon customer technical acceptance. Applied typically receives deposits on future deliverables from customers in the Display and Adjacent Markets segment and, in certain instances, may also receive deposits from customers in the Applied Global Services segment. Applied’s payment terms do not generally contain a significant financing component. Investments All of Applied’s investments, except equity investments held in privately-held companies, are classified as available-for-sale at the respective balance sheet dates. Investments classified as available-for-sale are measured and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest earned on cash and investments, as well as realized gains and losses on sale of securities, are included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are measured at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes. Adjustments resulting from impairments and observable prices changes will be recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Adopted Retirement Benefits. In March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line items in which they report compensation cost. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Applied adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance resulted in reclassification of other components of net benefit costs outside of income from operations and did not have a significant impact on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Business Combinations. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the definition of a business to help companies evaluate whether acquisition or disposal transactions should be accounted for as asset groups or as businesses. Applied adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a prospective basis. The impact of the adoption depends on the facts and circumstances of future acquisition or disposal transactions. Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers. In October 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changed the tax accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. After adoption, the income tax effect of intra-entity transfers is realized at the time of the transfer instead of over the life of the asset. Applied adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Upon adoption, deferred tax assets increased by $1.6 billion related to the estimated income tax effects of future amortization of intra-entity intangible asset transfers, with an offset to retained earnings. Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which addresses classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments related to the statement of cash flows. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Applied adopted the authoritative guidance retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact and only impacts disclosures in Applied' s consolidated condensed statements of cash flow. Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation, and are not accounted for under the equity method, to be measured at fair value, and requires recognition of any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a new measurement alternative. For financial liabilities measured at fair value, the change in fair value caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk will be required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. Applied adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Upon adoption, Applied elected to apply the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair value. Under the alternative, Applied measures investments without readily determinable fair value at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes prospectively to all equity investments that exist as of adoption and will reassess at each reporting period whether an investment qualifies for the alternative. Adopting this standard required Applied to record a cumulative net increase to retained earnings of approximately $21 million with the corresponding $17 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, for the unrealized gains and losses associated with equity investments with readily determinable fair values, as the authoritative guidance is required to be adopted prospectively. Going forward, the impact of this new standard could result in volatility in Applied’s consolidated statement of operations. Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and requires certain additional disclosures. Applied adopted this authoritative guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the full retrospective method, which required restating each prior reporting period presented. Refer to the Impacts to Previously Reported Results section below for the impact of the adoption of the standard to Applied’s consolidated financial statements. For all periods prior to the date of initial adoption of this standard, Applied elected to use the practical expedient pursuant to which Applied excluded disclosures of both transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations and when these performance obligations are expected to be recognized as revenue. The most significant impact from the adoption of this standard is fewer constraints on revenue recognition upon shipment of manufacturing equipment. Impacts to Previously Reported Results Adoption of the standards related to revenue recognition and retirement benefits impacted Applied’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended July 29, 2018 as follows: July 29, 2018 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended As Previously Reported Revenue Recognition Adjustment Retirement Benefit Adjustment As Adjusted As Previously Reported Revenue Recognition Adjustment Retirement Benefit Adjustment As Restated (In millions, except per share amounts) Net sales $ 4,468 $ (306 ) $ — $ 4,162 $ 13,239 $ (293 ) $ — $ 12,946 Cost of products sold $ 2,441 $ (144 ) $ 1 $ 2,298 $ 7,202 $ (118 ) $ 2 $ 7,086 Gross profit $ 2,027 $ (162 ) $ (1 ) $ 1,864 $ 6,037 $ (175 ) $ (2 ) $ 5,860 Research, development and engineering $ 504 $ — $ 1 $ 505 $ 1,501 $ — $ 2 $ 1,503 General and administrative $ 128 $ — $ — $ 128 $ 362 $ — $ 1 $ 363 Interest and other income, net $ 41 $ — $ 2 $ 43 $ 90 $ — $ 5 $ 95 Income before income taxes $ 1,239 $ (162 ) $ — $ 1,077 $ 3,696 $ (175 ) $ — $ 3,521 Provision for income taxes $ 66 $ (5 ) $ — $ 61 $ 1,259 $ (19 ) $ — $ 1,240 Net income $ 1,173 $ (157 ) $ — $ 1,016 $ 2,437 $ (156 ) $ — $ 2,281 Earnings per share: basic $ 1.18 $ (0.16 ) $ — $ 1.02 $ 2.37 $ (0.15 ) $ — $ 2.22 Earnings per share: diluted $ 1.17 $ (0.16 ) $ — $ 1.01 $ 2.35 $ (0.15 ) $ — $ 2.20 Adoption of the retirement benefits standard did not have any impact on Applied’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows. Adoption of the standard related to revenue recognition impacted Applied’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at October 28, 2018 as follows: October 28, 2018 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Adjusted (In millions) Accounts receivable, net $ 2,565 $ (242 ) $ 2,323 Inventories $ 3,722 $ (1 ) $ 3,721 Other current assets $ 430 $ 100 $ 530 Deferred income taxes and other assets $ 470 $ 3 $ 473 Customer deposits and deferred revenue $ 1,347 $ (1,347 ) $ — Contract liabilities $ — $ 1,201 $ 1,201 Retained earnings $ 20,874 $ 6 $ 20,880 Adoption of the revenue recognition standard did not impact cash provided by or used in investing or financing activities in Applied’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The adoption did not impact total cash provided by operating activities, however it impacted individual components of cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended July 29, 2018 as follows: July 29, 2018 Nine Months Ended As Previously Reported Adjustment As Adjusted (In millions) Cash flows from operating activities: Net income $ 2,437 $ (156 ) $ 2,281 Adjustments required to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities: Deferred income taxes $ 112 $ (18 ) $ 94 Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Inventories $ (751 ) $ (108 ) $ (859 ) Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 214 $ (3 ) $ 211 Contract liabilities $ (84 ) $ 285 $ 201 Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Retirement Benefits: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit and other Postretirement Plans. In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that adds, removes, and clarifies disclosure requirements for defined benefit and other postretirement plans. This authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in fiscal 2021 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. Applied is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that eliminates, amends, and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. While the amended and new disclosure requirements primarily relate to Level 3 fair value measurements, the authoritative guidance also eliminates disclosure requirements related to the amount and reasons for transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 of fair value hierarchy, policy for timing of transfer between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted only for the removal and amendment of certain disclosures, while the new disclosures requirements are to be applied prospectively. Applied is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that modifies the recognition and presentation of hedge accounting to better align an entity’s risk management strategies and financial reporting for hedging relationships. The authoritative guidance expands the application of hedge accounting for non-financial and financial risk components and eases certain hedge effectiveness assessment requirements. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, with early adoption permitted. While the Company's evaluation of the impact of this new guidance is not complete, it is not currently expected to have a significant impact on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Receivables: Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. In March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that will shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date to more closely align with expectations incorporated in market pricing. This authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. Applied is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Goodwill Impairment. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that simplifies the process required to test goodwill for impairment. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments: Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that modifies the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring use of an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Applied is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for lease accounting, which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for certain lease arrangements that are classified as operating leases under the previous standard, and to provide for enhanced disclosures. The authoritative guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Applied currently anticipates adopting this guidance using the optional transition method by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet at the beginning of fiscal year 2020 and will not adjust comparative prior periods. While the Company's evaluation of the impact of this new guidance is not complete, Applied currently expects that the primary impact of the new standard will be the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, mainly related to leases classified as operating leases. Applied is currently implementing changes to business processes and controls to support measurement and disclosure requirements under the new standard. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares (representing the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares) outstanding during the period. Applied’s net income has not been adjusted for any period presented for purposes of computing basic or diluted earnings per share due to the Company’s non-complex capital structure.

Gains and Losses on Investments During the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 gross realized gains and losses on investments were not material. During the three and nine months ended July 29, 2018 , gross realized gains on investments were $13 million and $14 million , respectively, and the gross realized losses on investments for these periods were not material. As of July 28, 2019 , and October 28, 2018 , gross unrealized losses related to Applied’s debt investment portfolio were not material. Applied regularly reviews its debt investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is considered to be temporary, or other-than-temporary and therefore impaired, include: the length of time and extent to which fair value has been lower than the cost basis; the financial condition, credit quality and near-term prospects of the investee; and whether it is more likely than not that Applied will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Applied determined that the gross unrealized losses on its marketable fixed-income securities as of July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 were temporary in nature and therefore it did not recognize any impairment of its marketable fixed-income securities during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 or July 29, 2018 . Impairment charges on equity investments in privately-held companies during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 were not material. These impairment charges are included in interest and other income, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses on investments classified as equity investments are recognized in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, these unrealized gains and temporary losses were included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any related tax effect. The components of gain (loss) on equity investments for the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 were as follows: July 28, 2019 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In millions) Publicly traded equity securities Unrealized gain $ 10 $ 23 Unrealized loss (1 ) (4 ) Gain on sales — 2 Equity investments in privately-held companies Unrealized gain 2 11 Unrealized loss (3 ) (5 ) Gain on sales — 4 Total gain on equity investments, net $ 8 $ 31 |
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements | 9 Months Ended |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Applied’s financial assets are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, except for equity investments in privately-held companies. These equity investments are generally accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes and are periodically assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. Applied’s nonfinancial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Fair Value Hierarchy Applied uses the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Applied’s investments consist primarily of debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at their fair values. In determining the fair value of investments, Applied uses pricing information from pricing services that value securities based on quoted market prices and models that utilize observable market inputs. In the event a fair value estimate is unavailable from a pricing service, Applied generally obtains non-binding price quotes from brokers. Applied then reviews the information provided by the pricing services or brokers to determine the fair value of its short-term and long-term investments. In addition, to validate pricing information obtained from pricing services, Applied periodically performs supplemental analysis on a sample of securities. Applied reviews any significant unanticipated differences identified through this analysis to determine the appropriate fair value. As of July 28, 2019 , substantially all of Applied’s available-for-sale, short-term and long-term investments were recognized at fair value that was determined based upon observable inputs. Applied’s equity investments with readily determinable values consist of publicly traded equity securities. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, these investments are measured at fair value using quoted prices for identical assets in an active market and the changes in fair value of these equity investments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Applied adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method and reclassified the unrealized gains on these equity investments of $21 million to retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments with remaining effective maturities of 12 months or less from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments. Investments with remaining effective maturities of more than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Financial assets (excluding cash balances) measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: July 28, 2019 October 28, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total (In millions) Assets: Available-for-sale debt security investments Money market funds $ 2,010 $ — $ 2,010 $ 1,599 $ — $ 1,599 U.S. Treasury and agency securities 323 22 345 297 36 333 Non-U.S. government securities — 9 9 — 10 10 Municipal securities — 394 394 — 395 395 Commercial paper, corporate bonds and medium-term notes — 766 766 — 1,054 1,054 Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities — 616 616 — 591 591 Total available-for-sale debt security investments $ 2,333 $ 1,807 $ 4,140 $ 1,896 $ 2,086 $ 3,982 Equity investments with readily determinable values Publicly traded equity securities $ 42 $ — $ 42 $ 38 $ — $ 38 Total equity investments with readily determinable values $ 42 $ — $ 42 $ 38 $ — $ 38 Total $ 2,375 $ 1,807 $ 4,182 $ 1,934 $ 2,086 $ 4,020 There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 or July 29, 2018 . Applied did not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 3 fair value measurements as of July 28, 2019 or October 28, 2018 . Assets and Liabilities without Readily Determinable Values Measured on a Non-recurring Basis Applied’s equity investments without readily determinable values consist of equity investments in privately-held companies. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, Applied elected the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes on a prospective basis for certain equity investments without readily determinable fair values and is required to account for any subsequent observable changes in fair value within the statements of operations. Applied adopted the guidance prospectively, effective October 29, 2018, and there was no impact to Applied’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, these investments were generally accounted for under the cost method of accounting. These investments are periodically assessed for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that a decline in value may have occurred. Impairment charges on equity investments in privately-held companies during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 were not material. Other The carrying amounts of Applied’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable - short term, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. As of July 28, 2019 , the aggregate principal amount of long-term debt was $5.4 billion , and the estimated fair value was $ 5.9 billion . As of October 28, 2018 , the aggregate principal and estimated fair value amounts of long-term debt were both $5.4 billion . The estimated fair value of long-term debt is determined by Level 2 inputs and is based primarily on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. See Note 11 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative Financial Instruments Applied conducts business in a number of foreign countries, with certain transactions denominated in local currencies, such as the Japanese yen, euro, Israeli shekel and Taiwanese dollar. Applied uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts, to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions expected to occur typically within the next 24 months . The purpose of Applied’s foreign currency management is to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated revenues, costs and eventual cash flows. The terms of currency instruments used for hedging purposes are generally consistent with the timing of the transactions being hedged. Applied does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative instruments and hedging activities, including foreign currency exchange and interest rate contracts, are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge treatment, as well as the ineffective portion of any hedges, are recognized currently in earnings. All of Applied’s derivative financial instruments are recorded at their fair value in other current assets or in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of the hedge as cash flow hedges and foreign exchange derivatives are typically entered into once per month. Cash flow hedges are evaluated for effectiveness quarterly. The effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges is reported as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The majority of the after-tax net income or loss related to foreign exchange derivative instruments included in AOCI as of July 28, 2019 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within 12 months . Changes in the fair value of currency forward exchange and option contracts due to changes in time value are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Both ineffective hedge amounts and hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings. If the transaction being hedged is no longer probable to occur, or if a portion of any derivative is deemed to be ineffective, Applied promptly recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in earnings. The amount recognized due to discontinuance of cash flow hedges that were probable not to occur by the end of the originally specified time period was not significant for the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 . Additionally, forward exchange contracts are generally used to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities. These derivatives are typically entered into once per month and are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these hedges are recorded in earnings to offset the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged. The fair values of foreign exchange derivative instruments as of July 28, 2019 and October 28, 2018 were not material. The effects of derivative instruments and hedging activities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations were as follows: Three Months Ended July 28, 2019 July 29, 2018 Effective Portion Ineffective Portion and Amount Effective Portion Ineffective Portion and Amount Location of Gain or Gain or Gain or (Loss) Gain or (Loss) Gain or Gain or (Loss) Gain or (Loss) (In millions) Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Foreign exchange contracts AOCI $ (11 ) $ — $ — $ 11 $ — $ — Foreign exchange contracts Cost of products sold — (2 ) 3 — (3 ) 7 Foreign exchange contracts General and administrative — (1 ) (1 ) — (6 ) (2 ) Interest rate contracts Interest expense — (1 ) — — (1 ) — Total $ (11 ) $ (4 ) $ 2 $ 11 $ (10 ) $ 5 Nine Months Ended July 28, 2019 July 29, 2018 Effective Portion Ineffective Portion and Amount Effective Portion Ineffective Portion and Amount Location of Gain or Gain or Gain or (Loss) Gain or (Loss) Gain or Gain or (Loss) Gain or (Loss) (In millions) Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Foreign exchange contracts AOCI $ (16 ) $ — $ — $ (5 ) $ — $ — Foreign exchange contracts Cost of products sold — 8 12 — (7 ) 13 Foreign exchange contracts General and administrative — (4 ) (4 ) — (2 ) (5 ) Interest rate contracts Interest expense — (3 ) — — (3 ) — Total $ (16 ) $ 1 $ 8 $ (5 ) $ (12 ) $ 8 Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Income Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Location of Gain or July 28, 2019 July 29, July 28, 2019 July 29, (In millions) Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange contracts General and administrative $ (7 ) $ 2 $ (11 ) $ (8 ) Total $ (7 ) $ 2 $ (11 ) $ (8 ) Credit Risk Contingent Features If Applied’s credit rating were to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of credit risk contingent provisions of the derivative instruments discussed above, and certain counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features that were in a net liability position was immaterial as of July 28, 2019 . Entering into derivative contracts with banks exposes Applied to credit-related losses in the event of the banks’ nonperformance. However, Applied’s exposure is not considered significant. |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Accounts Receivable, Net | Accounts Receivable, Net Applied has agreements with various financial institutions to sell accounts receivable and discount promissory notes from selected customers. Applied sells its accounts receivable without recourse. Applied, from time to time, also discounts letters of credit issued by customers through various financial institutions. The discounting of letters of credit depends on many factors, including the willingness of financial institutions to discount the letters of credit and the cost of such arrangements. Applied sold $143 million and $1.3 billion of accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 , respectively. Applied sold $271 million and $1.0 billion of accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended July 29, 2018 , respectively. Applied discounted letters of credit issued by customers of $40 million during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 . Applied did not discount letters of credit issued by customers or discount promissory notes during the three and nine months ended July 29, 2018 . Financing charges on the sale of receivables and discounting of letters of credit are included in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and were not material for all periods presented. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $30 million and $33 million as of July 28, 2019 and October 28, 2018 , respectively. Applied sells its products principally to manufacturers within the semiconductor and display industries. While Applied believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate and represents its best estimate as of July 28, 2019 |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Contract Balances | Contract Balances Contract assets primarily result from receivables for goods transferred to customers where payment is conditional upon technical sign off and not just the passage of time. Contract liabilities consist of unsatisfied performance obligations related to advance payments received and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Applied’s contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets are generally classified as current and included in Other Current Assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when performance obligations will be satisfied and associated revenue is expected to be recognized. Contract balances at the end of each reporting period were as follows: July 28, 2019 October 28, 2018 (In millions) Contract assets $ 116 $ 99 Contract liabilities $ 1,430 $ 1,201 The increase in contract assets during the nine months ended July 28, 2019 , was primarily due to goods transferred to customers where payment was conditional upon technical sign off, offset by the reclassification of contract assets to net accounts receivable upon meeting conditions to the right to payment. During the nine months ended July 28, 2019 , Applied recognized revenue of approximately $622 million related to contract liabilities at October 28, 2018 . This reduction in contract liabilities was offset by new billings for products and services for which there were unsatisfied performance obligations to customers and revenue had not yet been recognized as of July 28, 2019 . There were no impairment losses recognized on Applied’s accounts receivables and contract assets during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 . As of July 28, 2019 , the amount of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations on contracts with an original estimated duration of one year or more was approximately $808 million , which is expected to be recognized within the next 36 months. Applied has elected the available practical expedient to exclude the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill, Purchased Technology and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill, Purchased Technology and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets Applied’s methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to purchase acquisitions is determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Applied assigns assets acquired (including goodwill) and liabilities assumed to one or more reporting units as of the date of acquisition. Typically, acquisitions relate to a single reporting unit and thus do not require the allocation of goodwill to multiple reporting units. If the products obtained in an acquisition are assigned to multiple reporting units, the goodwill is distributed to the respective reporting units as part of the purchase price allocation process. Goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets requires significant judgment, especially in emerging markets. Applied regularly monitors current business conditions and considers other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results. To test goodwill for impairment, Applied first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, Applied then performs the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. Under the two-step goodwill impairment test, Applied would in the first step compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Applied determines the fair value of each of its reporting units based on a weighting of income and market approaches. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Applied would then perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If Applied determines that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, Applied would record an impairment charge equal to the difference. As of July 28, 2019 , Applied’s reporting units include Semiconductor Product Group and Imaging and Process Control Group, which combine to form the Semiconductor Systems reporting segment, Applied Global Services, and Display and Adjacent Markets. The evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment requires the exercise of significant judgment. In the event of future changes in business conditions, Applied will be required to reassess and update its forecasts and estimates used in future impairment analyses. If the results of these future analyses are lower than current estimates, a material impairment charge may result at that time. Details of goodwill as of July 28, 2019 and October 28, 2018 were as follows: July 28, October 28, (In millions) Semiconductor Systems $ 2,182 $ 2,151 Applied Global Services 1,018 1,018 Display and Adjacent Markets 199 199 Carrying amount $ 3,399 $ 3,368 During the nine months ended July 28, 2019 , the increase in goodwill was primarily due to acquisitions completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, which were not significant to Applied’s results of operations. A summary of Applied’s purchased technology and intangible assets is set forth below: July 28, October 28, (In millions) Purchased technology, net $ 80 $ 109 Intangible assets - finite-lived, net 90 104 Total $ 170 $ 213 Finite-Lived Purchased Intangible Assets Applied amortizes purchased intangible assets with finite lives using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, ranging from 1 to 15 years. Applied evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Applied assesses the fair value of the assets based on the amount of the undiscounted future cash flow that the assets are expected to generate and recognizes an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset, plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When Applied identifies an impairment, Applied reduces the carrying value of the group of assets to comparable market values, when available and appropriate, or to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach. Intangible assets, such as purchased technology, are generally recorded in connection with a business acquisition. The value assigned to intangible assets is usually based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the success and life cycle of products and technology acquired. Applied evaluates the useful lives of its intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances require revising the remaining period of amortization. In addition, Applied reviews intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Management considers such indicators as significant differences in actual product acceptance from the estimates, changes in the competitive and economic environments, technological advances, and changes in cost structure.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Borrowing Facilities and Debt | Borrowing Facilities and Debt Applied has credit facilities for unsecured borrowings in various currencies of up to $1.6 billion , of which $1.5 billion is comprised of a committed revolving credit agreement with a group of banks that is scheduled to expire in September 2021 . This agreement provides for borrowings in United States dollars at interest rates keyed to one of various benchmark rates selected by Applied for each advance, plus a margin based on Applied’s public debt rating and includes financial and other covenants. Remaining credit facilities in the amount of approximately $74 million are with Japanese banks. Applied’s ability to borrow under these facilities is subject to bank approval at the time of the borrowing request, and any advances will be at rates indexed to the banks’ prime reference rate denominated in Japanese yen. Applied has not utilized these credit facilities and no amounts were outstanding under any of these facilities as of both July 28, 2019 and October 28, 2018 . In fiscal 2011, Applied established a short-term commercial paper program of up to $1.5 billion . As of July 28, 2019 , Applied did not have any commercial paper outstanding. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019, Applied entered into a term loan credit agreement with a group of lenders. Under the agreement, the lenders have committed to make an unsecured term loan to Applied of up to $2.0 billion to finance in part Applied’s planned acquisition of all outstanding shares of Kokusai Electric, to pay related transaction fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The commitments of the lenders to make the term loan will terminate if the transactions contemplated by the SPA are not consummated on or before June 30, 2020 , which date may be extended by three months on two separate occasions if, on the applicable date, the only remaining conditions to closing relate to required regulatory approvals. The term loan, if advanced, will bear interest at one of two rates selected by Applied, plus an applicable margin, which varies according to Applied’s public debt credit ratings, and must be repaid in full on the third anniversary of the funding date of the term loan. Debt outstanding as of July 28, 2019 and October 28, 2018 was as follows: Principal Amount July 28, October 28, Effective Interest Rate Interest Pay Dates (In millions) Long-term debt: 2.625% Senior Notes Due 2020 $ 600 $ 600 2.640% April 1, October 1 4.300% Senior Notes Due 2021 750 750 4.326% June 15, December 15 3.900% Senior Notes Due 2025 700 700 3.944% April 1, October 1 3.300% Senior Notes Due 2027 1,200 1,200 3.342% April 1, October 1 5.100% Senior Notes Due 2035 500 500 5.127% April 1, October 1 5.850% Senior Notes Due 2041 600 600 5.879% June 15, December 15 4.350% Senior Notes Due 2047 1,000 1,000 4.361% April 1, October 1 5,350 5,350 Total unamortized discount (10 ) (11 ) Total unamortized debt issuance costs (28 ) (30 ) Total long-term debt $ 5,312 $ 5,309 |

The tax effects on net income of amounts reclassified from AOCI for the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 were not material. Stock Repurchase Program In February 2018, the Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program authorizing up to an aggregate of $6.0 billion in repurchases. As of July 28, 2019 , approximately $2.4 billion remained available for future stock repurchases under this repurchase program. The following table summarizes Applied’s stock repurchases for the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 28, July 29, July 28, July 29, (in millions, except per share amount) Shares of common stock repurchased 12 25 50 84 Cost of stock repurchased $ 528 $ 1,251 $ 1,903 $ 4,533 Average price paid per share $ 42.07 $ 49.31 $ 37.88 $ 53.72 Applied records treasury stock purchases under the cost method using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Upon reissuance of treasury stock, amounts in excess of the acquisition cost are credited to additional paid in capital. If Applied reissues treasury stock at an amount below its acquisition cost and additional paid in capital associated with prior treasury stock transactions is insufficient to cover the difference between the acquisition cost and the reissue price, this difference is recorded against retained earnings. Dividends In June 2019, March 2019 and December 2018, Applied’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends, in the amount of $0.21 , $0.21 and $0.20 per share, respectively. The dividend declared in June 2019 is payable in September 2019. Dividends paid during the nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 totaled $577 million and $410 million , respectively. Applied currently anticipates that cash dividends will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future cash dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on Applied’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions and other factors, as well as a determination by the Board of Directors that cash dividends are in the best interests of Applied’s stockholders. Share-Based Compensation Applied has a stockholder-approved equity plan, the Employee Stock Incentive Plan, which permits grants to employees of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units. In addition, the plan provides for the automatic grant of restricted stock units to non-employee directors and permits the grant of share-based awards to non-employee directors and consultants. Share-based awards made under the plan may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances in the event of a change in control of Applied. Applied also has two Employee Stock Purchase Plans, one generally for United States employees and a second for employees of international subsidiaries (collectively, ESPP), which enable eligible employees to purchase Applied common stock. During the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 , Applied recognized share-based compensation expense related equity awards and ESPP shares. The effect of share-based compensation on the results of operations was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 28, July 29, July 28, July 29, (In millions) Cost of products sold $ 23 $ 22 $ 67 $ 65 Research, development and engineering 25 24 74 72 Marketing and selling 8 7 23 23 General and administrative 11 11 33 33 Total share-based compensation $ 67 $ 64 $ 197 $ 193 The cost associated with share-based awards that are subject solely to time-based vesting requirements, less expected forfeitures, is recognized over the awards’ service period for the entire award on a straight-line basis. The cost associated with performance-based equity awards, which include both performance and market goals, is recognized for each tranche over the service period. The cost of equity awards related to performance goals is based on an assessment of the likelihood that the applicable performance goals will be achieved. For the equity awards based on market goals, the cost is recognized based upon the assumption of 100% achievement of the goal. As of July 28, 2019 , Applied had $417 million in total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to grants of share-based awards and shares issued under Applied’s ESPP, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. As of July 28, 2019 , there were 67 million shares available for grants of share-based awards under the Employee Stock Incentive Plan, and an additional 15 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP. Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock, Performance Shares and Performance Units A summary of the changes in any restricted stock units, restricted stock, performance shares and performance units outstanding under Applied’s equity compensation plans during the nine months ended July 28, 2019 is presented below: Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (In millions, except per share amounts) Outstanding as of October 28, 2018 18 $ 32.64 Granted 8 $ 35.59 Vested (7 ) $ 28.25 Canceled (1 ) $ 34.16 Outstanding as of July 28, 2019 18 $ 35.58 As of July 28, 2019 , 1.6 million additional performance-based awards could be earned based upon achievement of certain levels of specified performance goals. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, certain executive officers were granted awards that are subject to the achievement of targeted levels of adjusted operating margin and targeted levels of total shareholder return (TSR) relative to a peer group, comprised of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. Each metric will be weighted 50% and will be measured over a three -year period. The awards become eligible to vest only if performance goals are achieved and will vest only if the grantee remains employed by Applied through each applicable vesting date, subject to a qualifying retirement described below. The number of shares that may vest in full after three years ranges from 0% to 200% of the target amount. The awards provide for a partial payout based on actual performance at the conclusion of the three -year performance period in the event of a qualifying retirement based on age and years of service. The fair value of the portion of the awards subject to targeted levels of adjusted operating margin is estimated on the date of grant. If the performance goals are not met as of the end of the performance period, no compensation expense is recognized, and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed. The expected cost is based on the portion of the awards that is probable to vest and is reflected over the service period and reduced for estimated forfeitures. The fair value of the portion of the awards subject to targeted levels of relative total shareholder return is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized based upon the assumption of 100% achievement of the TSR goal and will not be reversed even if the threshold level of TSR is never achieved, and is reflected over the service period and reduced for estimated forfeitures. Employee Stock Purchase Plans Under the ESPP, substantially all employees may purchase Applied common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of Applied common stock at the beginning or end of each 6 -month purchase period, subject to certain limits. Applied issued a total of 2 million shares during the nine months ended July 28, 2019 and a total of 1 million shares during the nine months ended July 29, 2018 . Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the Black-Scholes model. Underlying assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table: Nine Months Ended July 28, 2019 July 29, 2018 ESPP: Dividend yield 2.18% 1.40% Expected volatility 37.1% 35.5% Risk-free interest rate 2.51% 1.83% Expected life (in years) 0.5 0.5 Weighted average estimated fair value $9.78 $14.26 |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act). The Tax Act requires a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries payable over eight years. U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities were subject to remeasurement due to the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which provided guidance on accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act and a measurement period for companies to complete this accounting. Applied completed the accounting for the Tax Act during the measurement period, which ended one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act. Accounting for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, and the accounting for the transition tax was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Tax Act also includes provisions that impact Applied starting in fiscal 2019, including a provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI). On June 14, 2019, the U.S. government released regulations that significantly affect how the GILTI provision of the Tax Act is interpreted. As a result, Applied reversed a tax benefit of $96 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 that had been realized in the first half of fiscal 2019. An accounting policy choice is allowed to treat GILTI temporary differences in taxable income either as a current-period expense when incurred (period cost method) or factor such amounts into the measurement of deferred taxes (deferred method). Applied has chosen the period cost method. Applied’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rate are affected by the geographical composition of pre-tax income which includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates, conditional reduced tax rates and other income tax incentives. It is also affected by events that are not consistent from period to period, such as changes in income tax laws and the resolution of prior years’ income tax filings. Applied’s effective tax rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and 2018 were 27.0 percent and 5.7 percent , respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was higher than the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to the regulations released on June 14, 2019. Applied’s effective tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 were 17.3 percent and 35.2 percent , respectively. The effective tax rate was lower than the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to tax expense of $1.1 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 for the transition tax and remeasurement of deferred tax assets as a result of the Tax Act. Excluding the tax expense of $1.1 billion , the effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was higher than the rate in the same period of the prior fiscal year primarily due to certain provisions in the Tax Act becoming effective in fiscal 2019, tax expense of $79 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 related to changes in uncertain tax positions and the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 being $42 million less than in the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits related to certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns could be recognized in the amount of approximately $65 million as a result of negotiations with tax authorities and lapses of statutes of limitation. |

The provision for the estimated cost of warranty is recorded when revenue is recognized. Parts and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. The warranty provision is based on historical experience by product, configuration and geographic region. Quarterly warranty consumption is generally associated with sales that occurred during the preceding four quarters, and quarterly warranty provisions are generally related to the current quarter’s sales. Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, Applied provides standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to third parties as required for certain transactions initiated by either Applied or its subsidiaries. As of July 28, 2019 , the maximum potential amount of future payments that Applied could be required to make under these guarantee agreements was approximately $74 million . Applied has not recorded any liability in connection with these guarantee agreements beyond that required to appropriately account for the underlying transaction being guaranteed. Applied does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under these guarantee agreements. Applied also has agreements with various banks to facilitate subsidiary banking operations worldwide, including overdraft arrangements, issuance of bank guarantees, and letters of credit. As of July 28, 2019 , Applied has provided parent guarantees to banks for approximately $151 million to cover these arrangements. Legal Matters From time to time, Applied receives notification from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, litigation support, payment of money or other actions by Applied in connection with claims made against them. In addition, from time to time, Applied receives notification from third parties claiming that Applied may be or is infringing or misusing their intellectual property or other rights. Applied also is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of the above-described matters, claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, Applied does not believe that any will have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Industry Segment Operations | Industry Segment Operations Applied’s three reportable segments are: Semiconductor Systems, Applied Global Services, and Display and Adjacent Markets. As defined under the accounting literature, Applied’s chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the President and Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon Applied’s management organization structure as of July 28, 2019 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to Applied’s reportable segments. The Semiconductor Systems reportable segment includes semiconductor capital equipment for etch, rapid thermal processing, deposition, chemical mechanical planarization, metrology and inspection, wafer packaging, and ion implantation. The Applied Global Services segment provides integrated solutions to optimize equipment and fab performance and productivity, including spares, upgrades, services, certain remanufactured earlier generation equipment and factory automation software for semiconductor, display and other products. The Display and Adjacent Markets segment includes products for manufacturing liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), equipment upgrades and flexible coating systems and other display technologies for TVs, monitors, laptops, personal computers, smart phones, and other consumer-oriented devices. Each operating segment is separately managed and has separate financial results that are reviewed by Applied’s chief operating decision-maker. Each reportable segment contains closely related products that are unique to the particular segment. Segment operating income is determined based upon internal performance measures used by Applied’s chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker does not evaluate operating segments using total asset information. Applied derives the segment results directly from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies Applied uses to derive reportable segment results are substantially the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics including orders, net sales and operating income. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Corporate and Other category includes revenues from products, as well as costs of products sold, for fabricating solar photovoltaic cells and modules, and certain operating expenses that are not allocated to its reportable segments and are managed separately at the corporate level. These operating expenses include costs related to share-based compensation; certain management, finance, legal, human resources, and research, development and engineering functions provided at the corporate level; and unabsorbed information technology and occupancy. In addition, Applied does not allocate to its reportable segments restructuring and asset impairment charges and any associated adjustments related to restructuring actions, unless these actions pertain to a specific reportable segment. Segment operating income also excludes interest income/expense and other financial charges and income taxes. Management does not consider the unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments. Net sales and operating income (loss) for each reportable segment were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Net Sales Operating Income (Loss) Net Sales Operating Income (Loss) (In millions) July 28, 2019: Semiconductor Systems $ 2,273 $ 613 $ 6,725 $ 1,823 Applied Global Services 931 259 2,877 827 Display and Adjacent Markets 339 41 1,194 198 Corporate and Other 19 (111 ) 58 (362 ) Total $ 3,562 $ 802 $ 10,854 $ 2,486 July 29, 2018: Semiconductor Systems $ 2,578 $ 831 $ 8,331 $ 2,847 Applied Global Services 952 280 2,778 814 Display and Adjacent Markets 616 156 1,778 456 Corporate and Other 16 (174 ) 59 (517 ) Total $ 4,162 $ 1,093 $ 12,946 $ 3,600 Net sales by geographic region, determined by the location of customers’ facilities to which products were shipped to, were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 28, July 29, July 28, July 29, (In millions, except percentages) China $ 1,117 31 % $ 1,647 39 % $ 3,078 28 % $ 3,911 30 % Korea 445 12 % 572 14 % 1,458 13 % 3,007 23 % Taiwan 596 17 % 506 12 % 2,046 19 % 1,913 15 % Japan 556 16 % 700 17 % 1,727 16 % 1,684 13 % Southeast Asia 134 4 % 165 4 % 413 4 % 600 5 % Asia Pacific 2,848 80 % 3,590 86 % 8,722 80 % 11,115 86 % United States 552 15 % 348 9 % 1,459 14 % 1,063 8 % Europe 162 5 % 224 5 % 673 6 % 768 6 % Total $ 3,562 100 % $ 4,162 100 % $ 10,854 100 % $ 12,946 100 % Net sales for Semiconductor Systems by end use application for the periods indicated were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 28, July 29, July 28, July 29, Foundry, logic and other 49 % 36 % 50 % 34 % Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) 27 % 25 % 22 % 28 % Flash memory 24 % 39 % 28 % 38 % 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % The reconciling items included in Corporate and Other were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 28, July 29, July 28, July 29, (In millions) Unallocated net sales $ 19 $ 16 $ 58 $ 59 Unallocated cost of products sold and expenses (63 ) (126 ) (223 ) (383 ) Share-based compensation (67 ) (64 ) (197 ) (193 ) Total $ (111 ) $ (174 ) $ (362 ) $ (517 ) The following customers accounted for at least 10 percent of Applied’s net sales for the nine months ended July 28, 2019 , and sales to these customers included products and services from multiple reportable segments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements of Applied Materials, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Applied or the Company) included herein have been prepared on a basis consistent with the October 28, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements and include all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the information set forth therein. These unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Applied’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2018 ( 2018 Form 10-K). Applied’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Applied’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in October of each year. Fiscal 2019 and 2018 contain 52 weeks each, and the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 each contained 39 weeks. At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Applied adopted the new revenue recognition standard using the full retrospective method. All financial statements and disclosures have been recast to comply with this new guidance. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Accounting Standards Adopted” section below for further information. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, Applied evaluates its estimates, including those related to standalone selling price (SSP) related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and sales allowances, fair values of financial instruments, inventories, intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of share-based awards, and income taxes, among others. Applied bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. |
Revenue Recognition | Applied recognizes revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Applied expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Applied determines revenue recognition through the following five steps; (1) identification of the contract(s) with customers, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. Identifying the contract(s) with customers. Applied sells manufacturing equipment, services, and spare parts directly to its customers in the semiconductor, display, and related industries. The Company generally considers written documentation including, but not limited to, signed purchase orders, master agreements, and sales orders as contracts provided that collection is probable. Collectability is assessed based on the customer’s creditworthiness determined by reviewing the customer’s published credit and financial information, historical payment experience, as well as other relevant factors. Identifying the performance obligations. Applied’s performance obligations include delivery of manufacturing equipment, service agreements, spare parts, installation, extended warranty and training. Applied’s service agreements are considered one performance obligation and may include multiple goods and services that Applied provides to the customer to deliver against a performance metric. Judgment is used to determine whether multiple promised goods or services in a contract should be accounted for separately or as a group. Determine the transaction price. The transaction price for Applied’s contracts with customers may include fixed and variable consideration. Applied includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation identified within the contract. Applied generally estimates the standalone selling price of a distinct performance obligation based on historical cost plus an appropriate margin. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, Applied allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Recognizing the revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. Applied recognizes revenue from equipment and spares parts at a point in time when Applied has satisfied its performance obligation by transferring control of the goods to the customer which typically occurs at shipment or delivery. Revenue from service agreements is recognized over time as customers receive the benefits of services. The incremental costs to obtain a contract are not material. Payment Terms. Payment terms vary by contract. Generally, the majority of payments are due within a certain number of days from shipment of goods or performance of service. The remainder is typically due upon customer technical acceptance. Applied typically receives deposits on future deliverables from customers in the Display and Adjacent Markets segment and, in certain instances, may also receive deposits from customers in the Applied Global Services segment. Applied’s payment terms do not generally contain a significant financing component. A llowance for Doubtful Accounts Applied maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. This allowance is based on historical experience, credit evaluations, specific customer collection history and any customer-specific issues Applied has identified. Changes in circumstances, such as an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation to Applied or its payment trends, may require Applied to further adjust its estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to Applied. Bad debt expense and any reversals are recorded in marketing and selling expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. Sales and Value Added Taxes Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Shipping and Handling Costs Applied accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, amounts billed for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of net sales and costs as a component of cost of products sold. Contract assets primarily result from receivables for goods transferred to customers where payment is conditional upon technical sign off and not just the passage of time. Contract liabilities consist of unsatisfied performance obligations related to advance payments received and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Applied’s contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. |
Warranty | Applied provides for the estimated cost of warranty when revenue is recognized. Estimated warranty costs are determined by analyzing specific product, current and historical configuration statistics and regional warranty support costs. Applied’s warranty obligation is affected by product and component failure rates, material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting product failures during the warranty period. If actual warranty costs differ substantially from Applied’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Applied also sells extended warranty contracts to its customers which provide an extension of the standard warranty coverage period of up to 2 years . Applied receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue ratably over the extended warranty coverage period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the extended warranty. 12 -month period following installation. The provision for the estimated cost of warranty is recorded when revenue is recognized. Parts and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. The warranty provision is based on historical experience by product, configuration and geographic region. Quarterly warranty consumption is generally associated with sales that occurred during the preceding four quarters, and quarterly warranty provisions are generally related to the current quarter’s sales. |
Investments | All of Applied’s investments, except equity investments held in privately-held companies, are classified as available-for-sale at the respective balance sheet dates. Investments classified as available-for-sale are measured and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest earned on cash and investments, as well as realized gains and losses on sale of securities, are included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are measured at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes. Adjustments resulting from impairments and observable prices changes will be recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses on investments classified as equity investments are recognized in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, these unrealized gains and temporary losses were included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any related tax effect. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Accounting Standards Adopted Retirement Benefits. In March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line items in which they report compensation cost. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Applied adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance resulted in reclassification of other components of net benefit costs outside of income from operations and did not have a significant impact on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Business Combinations. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the definition of a business to help companies evaluate whether acquisition or disposal transactions should be accounted for as asset groups or as businesses. Applied adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a prospective basis. The impact of the adoption depends on the facts and circumstances of future acquisition or disposal transactions. Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers. In October 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changed the tax accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. After adoption, the income tax effect of intra-entity transfers is realized at the time of the transfer instead of over the life of the asset. Applied adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Upon adoption, deferred tax assets increased by $1.6 billion related to the estimated income tax effects of future amortization of intra-entity intangible asset transfers, with an offset to retained earnings. Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which addresses classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments related to the statement of cash flows. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Applied adopted the authoritative guidance retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact and only impacts disclosures in Applied' s consolidated condensed statements of cash flow. Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation, and are not accounted for under the equity method, to be measured at fair value, and requires recognition of any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a new measurement alternative. For financial liabilities measured at fair value, the change in fair value caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk will be required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. Applied adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Upon adoption, Applied elected to apply the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair value. Under the alternative, Applied measures investments without readily determinable fair value at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes prospectively to all equity investments that exist as of adoption and will reassess at each reporting period whether an investment qualifies for the alternative. Adopting this standard required Applied to record a cumulative net increase to retained earnings of approximately $21 million with the corresponding $17 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, for the unrealized gains and losses associated with equity investments with readily determinable fair values, as the authoritative guidance is required to be adopted prospectively. Going forward, the impact of this new standard could result in volatility in Applied’s consolidated statement of operations. Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and requires certain additional disclosures. Applied adopted this authoritative guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the full retrospective method, which required restating each prior reporting period presented. Refer to the Impacts to Previously Reported Results section below for the impact of the adoption of the standard to Applied’s consolidated financial statements. For all periods prior to the date of initial adoption of this standard, Applied elected to use the practical expedient pursuant to which Applied excluded disclosures of both transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations and when these performance obligations are expected to be recognized as revenue. The most significant impact from the adoption of this standard is fewer constraints on revenue recognition upon shipment of manufacturing equipment. Impacts to Previously Reported Results Adoption of the standards related to revenue recognition and retirement benefits impacted Applied’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended July 29, 2018 as follows: July 29, 2018 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended As Previously Reported Revenue Recognition Adjustment Retirement Benefit Adjustment As Adjusted As Previously Reported Revenue Recognition Adjustment Retirement Benefit Adjustment As Restated (In millions, except per share amounts) Net sales $ 4,468 $ (306 ) $ — $ 4,162 $ 13,239 $ (293 ) $ — $ 12,946 Cost of products sold $ 2,441 $ (144 ) $ 1 $ 2,298 $ 7,202 $ (118 ) $ 2 $ 7,086 Gross profit $ 2,027 $ (162 ) $ (1 ) $ 1,864 $ 6,037 $ (175 ) $ (2 ) $ 5,860 Research, development and engineering $ 504 $ — $ 1 $ 505 $ 1,501 $ — $ 2 $ 1,503 General and administrative $ 128 $ — $ — $ 128 $ 362 $ — $ 1 $ 363 Interest and other income, net $ 41 $ — $ 2 $ 43 $ 90 $ — $ 5 $ 95 Income before income taxes $ 1,239 $ (162 ) $ — $ 1,077 $ 3,696 $ (175 ) $ — $ 3,521 Provision for income taxes $ 66 $ (5 ) $ — $ 61 $ 1,259 $ (19 ) $ — $ 1,240 Net income $ 1,173 $ (157 ) $ — $ 1,016 $ 2,437 $ (156 ) $ — $ 2,281 Earnings per share: basic $ 1.18 $ (0.16 ) $ — $ 1.02 $ 2.37 $ (0.15 ) $ — $ 2.22 Earnings per share: diluted $ 1.17 $ (0.16 ) $ — $ 1.01 $ 2.35 $ (0.15 ) $ — $ 2.20 Adoption of the retirement benefits standard did not have any impact on Applied’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows. Adoption of the standard related to revenue recognition impacted Applied’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at October 28, 2018 as follows: October 28, 2018 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Adjusted (In millions) Accounts receivable, net $ 2,565 $ (242 ) $ 2,323 Inventories $ 3,722 $ (1 ) $ 3,721 Other current assets $ 430 $ 100 $ 530 Deferred income taxes and other assets $ 470 $ 3 $ 473 Customer deposits and deferred revenue $ 1,347 $ (1,347 ) $ — Contract liabilities $ — $ 1,201 $ 1,201 Retained earnings $ 20,874 $ 6 $ 20,880 Adoption of the revenue recognition standard did not impact cash provided by or used in investing or financing activities in Applied’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The adoption did not impact total cash provided by operating activities, however it impacted individual components of cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended July 29, 2018 as follows: July 29, 2018 Nine Months Ended As Previously Reported Adjustment As Adjusted (In millions) Cash flows from operating activities: Net income $ 2,437 $ (156 ) $ 2,281 Adjustments required to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities: Deferred income taxes $ 112 $ (18 ) $ 94 Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Inventories $ (751 ) $ (108 ) $ (859 ) Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 214 $ (3 ) $ 211 Contract liabilities $ (84 ) $ 285 $ 201 Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Retirement Benefits: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit and other Postretirement Plans. In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that adds, removes, and clarifies disclosure requirements for defined benefit and other postretirement plans. This authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in fiscal 2021 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. Applied is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that eliminates, amends, and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. While the amended and new disclosure requirements primarily relate to Level 3 fair value measurements, the authoritative guidance also eliminates disclosure requirements related to the amount and reasons for transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 of fair value hierarchy, policy for timing of transfer between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted only for the removal and amendment of certain disclosures, while the new disclosures requirements are to be applied prospectively. Applied is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that modifies the recognition and presentation of hedge accounting to better align an entity’s risk management strategies and financial reporting for hedging relationships. The authoritative guidance expands the application of hedge accounting for non-financial and financial risk components and eases certain hedge effectiveness assessment requirements. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, with early adoption permitted. While the Company's evaluation of the impact of this new guidance is not complete, it is not currently expected to have a significant impact on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Receivables: Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. In March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that will shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date to more closely align with expectations incorporated in market pricing. This authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. Applied is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Goodwill Impairment. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that simplifies the process required to test goodwill for impairment. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments: Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that modifies the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring use of an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The authoritative guidance will be effective for Applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Applied is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on Applied’s consolidated financial statements. Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for lease accounting, which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for certain lease arrangements that are classified as operating leases under the previous standard, and to provide for enhanced disclosures. The authoritative guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Applied currently anticipates adopting this guidance using the optional transition method by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet at the beginning of fiscal year 2020 and will not adjust comparative prior periods. While the Company's evaluation of the impact of this new guidance is not complete, Applied currently expects that the primary impact of the new standard will be the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, mainly related to leases classified as operating leases. Applied is currently implementing changes to business processes and controls to support measurement and disclosure requirements under the new standard. |
Fair Value Measurement | Applied’s financial assets are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, except for equity investments in privately-held companies. These equity investments are generally accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes and are periodically assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. Applied’s nonfinancial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Fair Value Hierarchy Applied uses the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Applied’s investments consist primarily of debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at their fair values. In determining the fair value of investments, Applied uses pricing information from pricing services that value securities based on quoted market prices and models that utilize observable market inputs. In the event a fair value estimate is unavailable from a pricing service, Applied generally obtains non-binding price quotes from brokers. Applied then reviews the information provided by the pricing services or brokers to determine the fair value of its short-term and long-term investments. In addition, to validate pricing information obtained from pricing services, Applied periodically performs supplemental analysis on a sample of securities. Applied reviews any significant unanticipated differences identified through this analysis to determine the appropriate fair value. As of July 28, 2019 , substantially all of Applied’s available-for-sale, short-term and long-term investments were recognized at fair value that was determined based upon observable inputs. Applied’s equity investments with readily determinable values consist of publicly traded equity securities. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, these investments are measured at fair value using quoted prices for identical assets in an active market and the changes in fair value of these equity investments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Applied adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method and reclassified the unrealized gains on these equity investments of $21 million to retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments with remaining effective maturities of 12 months or less from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments. Investments with remaining effective maturities of more than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. |
Assets and Liabilities without Readily Determinable Values Measured on a Non-recurring Basis | Assets and Liabilities without Readily Determinable Values Measured on a Non-recurring Basis Applied’s equity investments without readily determinable values consist of equity investments in privately-held companies. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, Applied elected the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes on a prospective basis for certain equity investments without readily determinable fair values and is required to account for any subsequent observable changes in fair value within the statements of operations. Applied adopted the guidance prospectively, effective October 29, 2018, and there was no impact to Applied’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, these investments were generally accounted for under the cost method of accounting. These investments are periodically assessed for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that a decline in value may have occurred. Impairment charges on equity investments in privately-held companies during the three and nine months ended July 28, 2019 and July 29, 2018 were not material. |
Derivatives | Additionally, forward exchange contracts are generally used to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities. These derivatives are typically entered into once per month and are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these hedges are recorded in earnings to offset the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged. Applied does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative instruments and hedging activities, including foreign currency exchange and interest rate contracts, are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge treatment, as well as the ineffective portion of any hedges, are recognized currently in earnings. All of Applied’s derivative financial instruments are recorded at their fair value in other current assets or in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of the hedge as cash flow hedges and foreign exchange derivatives are typically entered into once per month. Cash flow hedges are evaluated for effectiveness quarterly. The effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges is reported as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The majority of the after-tax net income or loss related to foreign exchange derivative instruments included in AOCI as of July 28, 2019 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within 12 months |
Goodwill | Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets Applied’s methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to purchase acquisitions is determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Applied assigns assets acquired (including goodwill) and liabilities assumed to one or more reporting units as of the date of acquisition. Typically, acquisitions relate to a single reporting unit and thus do not require the allocation of goodwill to multiple reporting units. If the products obtained in an acquisition are assigned to multiple reporting units, the goodwill is distributed to the respective reporting units as part of the purchase price allocation process. Goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets requires significant judgment, especially in emerging markets. Applied regularly monitors current business conditions and considers other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results. To test goodwill for impairment, Applied first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, Applied then performs the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. Under the two-step goodwill impairment test, Applied would in the first step compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Applied determines the fair value of each of its reporting units based on a weighting of income and market approaches. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Applied would then perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If Applied determines that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, Applied would record an impairment charge equal to the difference. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | The evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment requires the exercise of significant judgment. In the event of future changes in business conditions, Applied will be required to reassess and update its forecasts and estimates used in future impairment analyses. If the results of these future analyses are lower than current estimates, a material impairment charge may result at that time. |
Finite-Lived Purchased Intangible Assets | Finite-Lived Purchased Intangible Assets Applied amortizes purchased intangible assets with finite lives using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, ranging from 1 to 15 years. Applied evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Applied assesses the fair value of the assets based on the amount of the undiscounted future cash flow that the assets are expected to generate and recognizes an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset, plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When Applied identifies an impairment, Applied reduces the carrying value of the group of assets to comparable market values, when available and appropriate, or to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach. Intangible assets, such as purchased technology, are generally recorded in connection with a business acquisition. The value assigned to intangible assets is usually based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the success and life cycle of products and technology acquired. Applied evaluates the useful lives of its intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances require revising the remaining period of amortization. In addition, Applied reviews intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Management considers such indicators as significant differences in actual product acceptance from the estimates, changes in the competitive and economic environments, technological advances, and changes in cost structure. |
Treasury Stock | Applied records treasury stock purchases under the cost method using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Upon reissuance of treasury stock, amounts in excess of the acquisition cost are credited to additional paid in capital. If Applied reissues treasury stock at an amount below its acquisition cost and additional paid in capital associated with prior treasury stock transactions is insufficient to cover the difference between the acquisition cost and the reissue price, this difference is recorded against retained earnings. |
Share-based Compensation | Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the Black-Scholes model. The cost associated with share-based awards that are subject solely to time-based vesting requirements, less expected forfeitures, is recognized over the awards’ service period for the entire award on a straight-line basis. The cost associated with performance-based equity awards, which include both performance and market goals, is recognized for each tranche over the service period. The cost of equity awards related to performance goals is based on an assessment of the likelihood that the applicable performance goals will be achieved. For the equity awards based on market goals, the cost is recognized based upon the assumption of 100% achievement of the goal. |
Performance Based Awards | During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, certain executive officers were granted awards that are subject to the achievement of targeted levels of adjusted operating margin and targeted levels of total shareholder return (TSR) relative to a peer group, comprised of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. Each metric will be weighted 50% and will be measured over a three -year period. The awards become eligible to vest only if performance goals are achieved and will vest only if the grantee remains employed by Applied through each applicable vesting date, subject to a qualifying retirement described below. The number of shares that may vest in full after three years ranges from 0% to 200% of the target amount. The awards provide for a partial payout based on actual performance at the conclusion of the three -year performance period in the event of a qualifying retirement based on age and years of service. The fair value of the portion of the awards subject to targeted levels of adjusted operating margin is estimated on the date of grant. If the performance goals are not met as of the end of the performance period, no compensation expense is recognized, and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed. The expected cost is based on the portion of the awards that is probable to vest and is reflected over the service period and reduced for estimated forfeitures. The fair value of the portion of the awards subject to targeted levels of relative total shareholder return is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized based upon the assumption of 100% achievement of the TSR goal and will not be reversed even if the threshold level of TSR is never achieved, and is reflected over the service period and reduced for estimated forfeitures. |
