1All-flash array annualized net revenue run rate is determined
by products and services revenue for the current quarter,
multiplied by 4. 2Refer to “NetApp Usage of Non-GAAP Financial
Information” section below for explanations of consolidated
non-GAAP gross margins, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP net
income, non-GAAP net income per share, free cash flow, and
billings. 3GAAP net income per share and non-GAAP net income per
share are calculated using the diluted number of shares.
NetApp Usage of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement NetApp’s condensed consolidated financial
statement information presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), NetApp
provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures, including, but
not limited to, historical non-GAAP gross margins, non-GAAP
operating margins, non-GAAP operating results, non-GAAP net income,
non-GAAP effective tax rate, free cash flow, billings, and
historical and projected non-GAAP earnings per diluted share.
In prior periods, NetApp presented the hardware and software
components of our GAAP product revenues to illustrate the
significance and value of the Company’s software. Because our
revenue recognition policy under GAAP defines a configured storage
system, inclusive of the operating system software essential to its
functionality, as a single performance obligation, hardware and
software components of our product revenues are considered non-GAAP
measures.
Effective in fiscal year 2025, NetApp no longer presents the
non-GAAP hardware and software components of our product revenues,
as management no longer considers them to be key financial
measures. The Company’s current strategy is expected to deliver
investor value through growth in total revenues, including product
revenues, while maintaining operational discipline to drive
earnings leverage. While software continues to be the primary value
driver of our products, NetApp is primarily focused on driving
growth in total product revenues, through the sale of configured
storage systems comprised of both hardware and software, with less
focus on the pricing of each component.
Additionally, the Company is considering potential opportunities
to simplify pricing for certain products in the future, which may
eliminate the existence of separate prices for hardware and
software components and/or impact our ability to allocate between
them.
NetApp believes that the presentation of its non-GAAP measures,
when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures,
provides useful information to investors and management regarding
financial and business trends relating to its financial condition
and results of operations. NetApp’s management uses non-GAAP
measures in making operating decisions because it believes that the
measurements provide meaningful supplemental information regarding
NetApp’s ongoing operational performance.
NetApp believes that the presentation of non-GAAP gross margins,
non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP
net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share data, provides
investors with supplemental metrics that assist in understanding
current results and future prospects, earnings and profitability
that are complementary to GAAP metrics. Each of these Non-GAAP
metrics is defined as the applicable GAAP metric adjusted to
exclude the items defined in A through I below, as applicable,
while our Non-GAAP effective tax rate and Non-GAAP net income also
reflect a non-GAAP tax provision, as described in item J below,
instead of our GAAP tax provision. Non-GAAP net income per share is
computed as Non-GAAP net income divided by the diluted number of
shares for the applicable period.
NetApp believes that the presentation of free cash flow, which
it defines as the net cash provided by operating activities less
cash used to acquire property and equipment, to be a liquidity
measure that provides useful information to management and
investors because it reflects cash that can be used to, among other
things, invest in its business, make strategic acquisitions,
repurchase common stock, and pay dividends on its common stock. As
free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity calculated in
accordance with GAAP, free cash flow should be considered in
addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in
the statement of cash flows.
NetApp approximates billings by adding net revenues as reported
on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
period to the change in total deferred revenue and financed
unearned services revenue as reported on our Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the same period. Billings is a
performance measure that NetApp believes provides useful
information to management and investors because it approximates the
amounts under purchase orders received by us during a given period
that have been billed.
Non-GAAP financial measures are used to: (1) measure company
performance against historical results, (2) facilitate comparisons
to our competitors’ operating results and (3) allow greater
transparency with respect to information used by management in
financial and operational decision making.
NetApp excludes the following items from its non-GAAP measures
when applicable:
A. Amortization of intangible assets. NetApp records
amortization of intangible assets that were acquired in connection
with its business combinations. The amortization of intangible
assets varies depending on the level of acquisition activity.
Management finds it useful to exclude these charges to assess the
appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in
budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods and in measuring
operational performance.
B. Stock-based compensation expenses. NetApp excludes
stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures
primarily because the amount can fluctuate based on variables
unrelated to the performance of the underlying business. While
management views stock-based compensation as a key element of our
employee retention and long-term incentives, we do not view it as
an expense to be used in evaluating operational performance in any
given period.
C. Litigation settlements. NetApp may periodically incur charges
or benefits related to litigation settlements. NetApp excludes
these charges and benefits, when significant, because it does not
believe they are reflective of ongoing business and operating
results.
D. Acquisition-related expenses. NetApp excludes
acquisition-related expenses, including (a) due diligence, legal
and other one-time integration charges and (b) write down of assets
acquired that NetApp does not intend to use in its ongoing
business, from its non-GAAP measures, primarily because they are
not related to our ongoing business or cost base and, therefore,
are less useful for future planning and forecasting.
E. Restructuring charges. These charges consist of restructuring
charges that are incurred based on the particular facts and
circumstances of restructuring decisions, including employment and
contractual settlement terms, and other related charges, and can
vary in size and frequency. We therefore exclude them in our
assessment of operational performance.
F. Asset impairments. These are non-cash charges to write down
assets when there is an indication that the asset has become
impaired. Management finds it useful to exclude these non-cash
charges due to the unpredictability of these events in its
assessment of operational performance.
G. Gains/losses on the sale or derecognition of assets. These
are gains/losses from the sale of our properties and other
transactions in which we transfer and/or lose control of assets to
a third party. This is inclusive of third-party advisory, legal and
other costs that result directly from and are essential to a sale
transaction and that would not have been incurred had the decision
to sell not been made. Management believes that these transactions
do not reflect the results of our underlying, ongoing business and,
therefore, are less useful for future planning and forecasting.
H. Gains/losses on the sale of investments in equity securities.
These are gains/losses from the sale of our investment in certain
equity securities. Typically, such investments are sold as a result
of a change in control of the underlying businesses. Management
believes that these transactions do not reflect the results of our
underlying, ongoing business and, therefore, are less useful for
future planning and forecasting.
I. Debt extinguishment costs. NetApp excludes certain
non-recurring expenses incurred as a result of the early
extinguishment of debt. Management believes such non-recurring
costs do not reflect the results of its underlying, ongoing
business and, therefore, are less useful for future planning and
forecasting.
J. Income tax adjustments. NetApp’s non-GAAP tax provision is
based upon a projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate for the
first three quarters of the fiscal year and an actual non-GAAP tax
provision for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. The non-GAAP
tax provision also excludes, when applicable, (a) tax charges or
benefits in the current period that relate to one or more prior
fiscal periods that are a result of events such as changes in tax
legislation, authoritative guidance, income tax audit settlements,
statute lapses and/or court decisions, (b) tax charges or benefits
that are attributable to unusual or non-recurring book and/or tax
accounting method changes, (c) tax charges or benefits that are a
result of a non-routine foreign cash repatriation, (d) tax charges
or benefits that are a result of infrequent restructuring of the
Company’s tax structure, (e) tax charges or benefits that are a
result of a change in valuation allowance, and (f) tax charges or
benefits resulting from the integration of intellectual property
from acquisitions. Management believes that the use of non-GAAP tax
provisions provides a more meaningful measure of the Company’s
operational performance.
Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative
for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may be
different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In
addition, non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set
of accounting rules or principles. NetApp believes that non-GAAP
measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the
amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should
only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in
conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. NetApp management
compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and
projected results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis. The
presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly
comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. The non-GAAP
financial measures are meant to supplement, and be viewed in
conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. A detailed
reconciliation of our non-GAAP to GAAP results can be found
herein.
Constant Currency
In periods in which the impacts of foreign currency exchange
rate changes are significant, NetApp presents certain constant
currency growth rates or quantifies the impact of foreign currency
exchange rate changes on year-over-year fluctuations, including for
net revenues, billings, and earnings. This constant currency
information assumes the same foreign currency exchange rates that
were in effect for the comparable prior-year period were used in
translation of the current period results.
