In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months.

Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) (the “Company”) today reported
financial results for the quarter ended December 28, 2012. During the
fiscal second quarter, the Company reported revenue of approximately
$3.7 billion, shipping 58 million units. On a GAAP basis, Seagate
reported gross margin of 27.0%, net income of $492 million and diluted
earnings per share of $1.30. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the net
impact of certain items, Seagate reported gross margin of 27.6%, net
income of $523 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.38. Cash
flow from operations in the quarter was $844 million and the Company
returned $1.1 billion to shareholders in dividends and share
redemptions. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term
investments totaled approximately $2.0 billion at the end of the fiscal
second quarter.
“Seagate is executing well in an environment where customer demand
forecasting is challenging,” said Steve Luczo, Seagate’s chairman,
president and chief executive officer. “Looking ahead, we will continue
to manage our business conservatively to the demand environment, focus
on profitability and effectively invest for market leadership in storage
for mobility, cloud and open source. Creating value for shareholders
remains a top priority, and in the first half of fiscal 2013, we
returned over 95% of operating cash flows through share redemptions and
dividends.”
For a detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results, see
accompanying financial tables.
Seagate has issued a Supplemental Commentary document. The Supplemental
Commentary will not be read during today's call, but rather it is
available in the investors section of seagate.com.

dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent
upon Seagate's financial position, results of operations, available
cash, cash flow, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant
by the Board.

Use of non-GAAP financial information
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the
Company provides non-GAAP measures of net income, diluted net income per
share and gross margin as a percentage of revenue, which are adjusted
from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and
losses. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the
user's overall understanding of the Company’s current financial
performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company
believes non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management
and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains
and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating
results and because it is consistent with the financial models and
estimates published by financial analysts who follow the Company.
These non-GAAP results are some of the primary measurements management
uses to assess the Company’s performance, allocate resources and plan
for future periods. Reported non-GAAP results should only be considered
as supplemental to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and not
considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These
non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures reported by
other companies in our industry.
