Fiscal 2010 was a defining year for Cisco following the unprecedented global economic challenges of the year before. This was our opportunity to show the world what a truly great company we are, and to position ourselves to extend our leadership in the years ahead. — John Chambers, Chairman & CEO
In fiscal 2010, Cisco reported record net sales of over $40 billion, an increase of 11% compared to a year ago. Annual product sales were $32.4 billion, up 11% year-over-year. Service revenue represented 19% of annual sales or $7.6 billion, up 9% from a year ago. Sales across all of our geographic theaters increased when compared to fiscal 2009. We attribute this increase to an improvement in overall demand derived from a gradually recovering global economy as well as, in our view, increased demand for the architectural approach to products and services that only Cisco can offer.
Cisco has a robust balance sheet. The company features significant cash and cash equivalents and investments of 39.861 billion. Its investments, which are primarily short term in nature, stood at 35.280 billion, compared to last years 29.283 billion.
Because of the amount of cash that Cisco holds on to it has inflated our “T” value which causes our index to decrease.

Electricity outages cost U.S. industry about $50 billion per year.Reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 60 to 211 million metric tons of CO2 annually in 2030.Generate approximately 280,000 direct jobs across various categories.Obama administration has also increased the maximum award available through ARRA's Smart Grid Investment Grant Programfrom $20 million to $200 million, and the Smart Grid Demonstration Projects from $40 million to $100 million. A power network utilizing present computing technologies will eliminate blackouts and brownouts due to under-capacity, and will enable better overall reliability through advanced monitoring and management.
Regulatory - Operations. Efficiency measures that impact new or existing buildings, changes that impact assets that are direct emitters (e.g., vehicle fleet, diesel generators), and changes that would impact the price of energy (fuels and electricity).Cisco sees a limited risk from increasing operational costs caused by stricter building codes or increasing electricity, fuel and transportation costs. Cisco is not a heavy emitter of greenhouse gases and is therefore less sensitive to changes in regulations than carbon-intensive industries.Physical – Impact could be actual labor availability or political instability caused by or attributed to climate changeGeneral - Market and brand risks are probably the biggest and most clearly defined risks specifically because Cisco has positively differentiated itself with respect to climate change and operational, product and solutions activities to reduce GHG emissions.To address risks associated with regulations on fuel/energy taxes, Cisco has developed an Energy Management department to continually track and monitor Cisco’s global energy consumption and associated GHG emissions. This department also is charged with identifying, evaluating and implementing projects to improve the efficiency of Cisco’s operations and minimize Cisco’s carbon footprint.
