Where can I find the specific financial results for Arista Networks' fourth quarter and full year 2023?

The specific financial results are detailed in the press release issued by Arista Networks on February 12, 2024, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K filing and incorporated by reference.

What is the significance of the information being furnished under Item 2.02 and not 'filed'?

This is a standard disclosure for earnings press releases. Furnishing under Item 2.02 means the information is provided to the SEC but does not carry the same legal implications of being 'filed' under Section 18 of the Exchange Act, which relates to liability for false or misleading statements in filed documents.

What kind of information should I expect to find in the press release?

The press release typically contains key financial metrics such as revenue, net income, earnings per share (EPS) for the reported quarter and year, as well as management's commentary on performance and outlook, including guidance for the next quarter and potentially the full year.
