Fiscal Q3 2019 Highlights
- Revenue of $4.79 billion versus $7.80 billion for the same
period last year
- GAAP net income of $840 million, or $0.74 per diluted
share
- Non-GAAP net income of $1.20 billion, or $1.05 per diluted

capital expenditures in fiscal 2020 to help improve industry
supply-demand balance."

1. In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted ASU 2014-09 –
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as amended, "ASC 606"),
which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance
under generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. The core principal of ASC 606 is that an entity should
recognize revenue when it transfers control of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. We adopted ASC 606 in the first quarter of 2019
under the modified retrospective method and, in connection
therewith, made certain adjustments to our opening balances as of
August 31, 2018. Adjustments to opening balances included an
increase to receivables of $114 million, reduction of deferred tax
assets of $92 million, increase of other current assets of $30
million, and an increase to retained earnings of $50 million.
2. On February 6, 2019, we issued $600 million, $500 million,
and $700 million in principal of senior unsecured notes due in
2024, 2026, and 2029, respectively. On February 8, 2019, we
notified holders of our convertible senior notes due in 2043
("2043G Notes") that we would redeem all of the outstanding 2043G
Notes on March 13, 2019. In connection with our notice, we made an
irrevocable election to settle any conversions in cash and, as a
result, we reclassified $336 million from equity to a derivative
debt liability. Holders converted substantially all of the 2043G
Notes and, on March 13, 2019, we paid $1.43 billion to settle the
conversions. We incurred losses of $316 million and $84 million in
the third and second quarters of 2019, respectively, in connection
with these transactions.
3. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted comprehensive
tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(the "Tax Act"), which imposed a one-time transition tax in 2018
(the "Repatriation Tax") and created a new minimum tax on certain
foreign earnings. Our income tax provision consisted of the

The decrease in our income tax provision in the third quarter of
2019 as compared to the second quarter of 2019 was due primarily to
a reduction in profit before tax and a related reduction in the
foreign minimum tax. The Repatriation Tax and our deferred tax
liabilities on unremitted earnings were also reduced in the third
quarter of 2019 due to Tax Act-related law changes. Our provision
for income tax and the effective tax rate increased in the first
nine months of 2019 as compared to the corresponding period of 2018
primarily as a result of the foreign minimum tax.
4. In January 2019, we exercised our option to acquire Intel's
interest in our joint venture, IM Flash Technologies, LLC ("IMFT")
and, in the third quarter of 2019, Intel set the closing date of
the transaction to occur on October 31, 2019. At closing, we expect
to pay Intel approximately $1.4 billion in cash for Intel's
noncontrolling interest in IMFT and IMFT member debt. As of
May 30, 2019, current debt included $858 million of IMFT
member debt.
5. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, we
repurchased 4 million shares of our common stock for $157 million
and 67 million shares of our common stock for $2.66 billion,
respectively, under an accelerated share repurchase agreement, Rule
10b5-1 plans, and through open market repurchases. The shares were
recorded as treasury stock.

The tables above reconcile GAAP to non-GAAP gross margin,
operating income, net income attributable to Micron, diluted
shares, and diluted earnings per share. The non-GAAP adjustments
above may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature but
are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities. We
believe this non-GAAP information is helpful in understanding
trends and in analyzing our operating results and earnings. We are
providing this information to investors to assist in performing
analysis of our operating results. When evaluating performance and
making decisions on how to allocate our resources, management uses
this non-GAAP information and believes investors should have access
to similar data when making their investment decisions. We believe
these non-GAAP financial measures increase transparency by
providing investors with useful supplemental information about the
financial performance of our business, enabling enhanced comparison
of our operating results between periods and with peer companies.
The presentation of these adjusted amounts varies from numbers
presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be
comparable to amounts reported by other companies. Our management
excludes the following items in analyzing our operating results and
understanding trends in our earnings:
- Stock-based compensation;
- Flow-through of business acquisition-related inventory
adjustments;
- Acquisition-related costs;
- Start-up and preproduction costs;
- Employee severance;
- Restructure and asset impairments;
- Amortization of debt discount and other costs, including the
accretion of non-cash interest expense associated with our
convertible debt and MMJ creditor debt;
- Gains and losses from debt repurchases and conversions;
- Gains and losses from changes in currency exchange rates;
- Gains and losses from business acquisition activities;
- Impact of U.S. income tax reform for the Repatriation Tax,
release of U.S. valuation allowance, and remeasurement of net
deferred taxes reflecting lower U.S. corporate tax rates; and
- The estimated tax effects of above, non-cash changes in net
deferred income taxes, and assessments of tax exposures.
Our outstanding capped call transactions are anti-dilutive in
GAAP earnings per share but are expected to mitigate the dilutive
effect of our convertible notes. In periods with non-GAAP income
attributable to Micron, non-GAAP diluted shares include the impact
of capped calls based on the average share price for the period the
capped calls are outstanding. Non-GAAP diluted shares are also
adjusted for the impact of additional shares resulting from the
exclusion of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP income.
