Item 2.02     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 15, 2012, NetApp, Inc. (“NetApp” or the “Company”) issued a press release and supplemental commentary reporting financial results for the third quarter ended January 27, 2012.  The press release and supplemental commentary are furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
These exhibits shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
To supplement NetApp’s condensed consolidated  financial statement information presented on a GAAP basis, the press release and supplemental commentary furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, provide investors with certain non-GAAP measures, including, but not limited to, historical non-GAAP operating results and net income and historical and future non-GAAP net income per diluted share. For purposes of internal planning, performance measurement and resource allocation, NetApp’s management uses non-GAAP measures of net income that exclude: (a) amortization of intangible assets, (b) stock-based compensation expenses, (c) acquisition related income and expenses, (d) restructuring and other charges, (e) asset impairments, (f) non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible debt, (g) net losses or gains on investments, and (h) our GAAP tax provision, but includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon our 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. NetApp’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions because it believes the measurements provide meaningful supplemental information regarding NetApp’s ongoing operational performance. These 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. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used to measure company performance for the purposes of determining employee incentive plan compensation.
 
As described above, NetApp excludes the following items from its non-GAAP measures:

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 they are non-cash expenses. 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. In addition, the valuation of stock-based awards and associated expense are based on factors and assumptions that management believes are, in large part, outside of management’s control.

C. Acquisition related income and expense.  NetApp excludes acquisition related income and expenses, including (a) merger termination proceeds, (b) due diligence, legal and other one-time integration charges, (c) the impact of inventory step-ups, and (d) 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 on-going business or cost base and, therefore, cannot be relied upon for future planning and forecasting.
  
D. Restructuring and other charges. These charges include 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. These items are not ordinarily included in our annual operating plan and related budget due to the unpredictability of the timing and size of these events. We therefore exclude them in our assessment of operational performance.
 
E. 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.

F. Non-cash interest expense.  These are non-cash charges from the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs.  Management does not believe that these charges reflect the underlying performance of our business.

G. Net losses or gains. These include realized gains and losses on and other-than-temporary impairments of our investments related to significant investment impairments or liquidation events.  Management believes that these gains and losses do not reflect the results of our underlying, on-going businesses and, therefore, finds it useful to exclude them in assessing our performance.

H. Income tax effects. NetApp excludes its GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from its non-GAAP measure of net income, but includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon its 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. Management believes the use of a non-GAAP tax provision provides a more meaningful measure of the company’s operational performance in any given period.
 
 
 

 

 
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. Management compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our earnings release and prepared remarks. 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. Investors should review the information regarding non-GAAP financial measures provided in our press release and prepared remarks.

Sunnyvale, Calif.—February 15, 2012—NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, which ended January 27, 2012. Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 totaled $1.566 billion compared to revenues of $1.290 billion for the same period one year ago.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, GAAP net income was $120 million, or $0.32 per share1, compared to GAAP net income of $186 million, or $0.46 per share, for the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $216 million, or $0.58 per share2, compared to non-GAAP net income of $226 million, or $0.56 per share, for the same period a year ago.
Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 totaled $4.531 billion compared to revenues of $3.694 billion for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year, an increase of 23% year over year. GAAP net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 totaled $425 million, or $1.10 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $513 million, or $1.31 per share for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 totaled $674 million, or $1.75 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $629 million, or $1.61 per share for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.
    "More and more customers are leveraging storage virtualization to re-architect their data centers in order to gain efficiency, flexibility and cost savings, and NetApp provides the most compelling value proposition in the industry for both private and public cloud deployments," said Tom Georgens, president and CEO. "Our success is evident in our results, as NetApp won a record number of new customers, significantly increased our units shipped -- including a record number of high-end systems, and saw solid revenue growth across almost all geographies in our third quarter."
 
 
 
 

 

 
Outlook

  
NetApp estimates revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 to be in the range of $1.645 billion to $1.725 billion, which equates to approximately 5% to 10% sequential revenue growth and approximately 15% to 21% year-over-year revenue growth.
  
NetApp estimates that fourth quarter fiscal year 2012 GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.38 to $0.43 per share. NetApp estimates that fourth quarter fiscal year 2012 non-GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.60 to $0.65 per share.
  
NetApp estimates that share count for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 will increase to approximately 378 million shares, including an estimated 8 million shares from the Company’s outstanding convertible notes3. Share count does not include the Company’s outstanding note hedges which are expected to offset 80% of the dilution from the convertible notes at maturity or conversion.

Business Highlights
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, NetApp continued to demonstrate the innovation and commitment needed to help its customers and partners address today’s expanding data requirements to drive business success. NetApp unveiled its “Smart Decisions” initiative aimed at helping midsize business customers start right, keep it simple, and grow smart, while at the same time enabling its partners to offer the best technologies and solutions to grow their own businesses, increase profits, and help their customers succeed. Highlights for the quarter include the following:
Midsize Business Customers Build on NetApp to Address Growing Business Demands and the Need to Do More with Less
  
NetApp unveiled the new NetApp® FAS2000 entry product line which enables customers to start right and grow with the needs of their business.

The powerful new FAS2240 delivers a two to three times of performance improvement and greater flexibility, allowing customers to maximize their storage investments, support demanding workloads, and add capabilities as their business needs change. NetApp OnCommand System Manager 2.0 software helps customers simplify, control, and automate setup and management of NetApp storage. With more than 10,000 midsize business customers already turning to NetApp each year for their storage needs, the enhanced portfolio will help NetApp continue to build on its position as an industry leader.
Be The Match Leverages NetApp to Turn Its IT Environment into a Catalyst for Life-Saving Speed and Flexibility
  
Be The Match, which operates the world’s largest listing of potential marrow donors and donated cord blood units, depends on its IT infrastructure to allow the organization to facilitate thousands of potentially life-saving transplants each year. To help accelerate the flow of data and enhance its ability to match donors with patients, Be The Match recently chose NetApp as its storage foundation. By transforming its IT infrastructure, utilizing NetApp as one of its vendors, the organization expects to reduce the time to transplant by 15%, double its annual donor registrations, and facilitate 50% more transplants around the world.

NetApp Usage of Non-GAAP Financials
The Company refers to the non-GAAP financial measures cited above in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operational performance. Non-GAAP net income excludes the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related income and expenses, restructuring and other charges, asset impairments, non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible debt, net losses or gains on investments, and our GAAP tax provision, but includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon our 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. We have excluded these items in order to enhance investors’ understanding of our ongoing operations. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations because they should not be used to evaluate our Company without reference to their corresponding GAAP financial measures. As such, we compensate for these material limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

These 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. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used to measure Company performance for the purposes of determining employee incentive plan compensation. We have historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to our investors and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting at this time.

Safe Harbor Statement
These prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements and projections that involve risk and uncertainty, including the statements under the Q4 FY12 outlook section regardingour forecasts for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Actual results may differ materially from our statements and projections for a variety of reasons, including general economic and market conditions such as the flooding in Thailand, and matters specific to our business such as customer demand for and acceptance of our products and services. These and other equally important factors are described in reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the factors described under the sections titled “Risk Factors” in our most recently submitted Annual and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, respectively. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
All numbers herein are stated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) unless indicated otherwise. To see the reconciling items between our non-GAAP and GAAP financial information, refer to the tables at the end of this document, as well as in our press release and on our website.

Net revenue for the third quarter was $1.566 billion, an increase of 4% sequentially and 21% year over year. Foreign currency fluctuations2 had a less than half percent unfavorable impact on our sequential results while increasing year over year results by approximately one percentage point.

Product revenue grew to $1.063 billion, an increase of 5% sequentially and 26% year over year. Product revenue was 68% of net revenue in Q3, up from 67% of net revenue in Q2.

Revenue from software entitlements and maintenance (SEM), which is a deferred revenue element and recognized over the related contract period, was $204 million or 13% of net revenue. SEM revenue grew 3% sequentially and 11% year over year.

In Q3 service revenue was $299 million, an increase of 2% sequentially and 14% year over year.  Service revenue was 19% of total revenue, remaining flat from the prior quarter.
 
  
Revenue from hardware maintenance support contracts, which is also a deferred revenue element, constituted approximately 71% of our service revenue this quarter, and increased 2% sequentially and 21% year over year.
  
Professional services revenue grew 2% from the prior quarter and declined 2% year over year.

 
 

1 Sequential growth calculations are based upon Q2 FY12 results which can be found at investors.netapp.com 
2 Foreign currency effects represent the changes in the average foreign exchange rates between the current period and the comparative prior periods (or, in the case of deferred revenue, the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was invoiced), less current period actual net gains or losses on revenue hedging activities.

Non-GAAP operating expenses were $671 million, an increase of 3% sequentially and 15% year over year. Q3 operating expenses were 43% of net revenue, essentially flat to the prior quarter.

In the third quarter, our headcount increased by 268 net new employees for a total global headcount of 12,102.

GAAP operating expenses included $69 million in non-cash stock-based compensation of which $11 million was related to the reset of the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) offerings triggered by the decline in our stock price below the grant date price. Additional GAAP operating items were $8 million in amortization of intangible assets and $4 million in acquisition-related expenses for Engenio integration activities.

Non-GAAP other income, net was $3 million. GAAP other expenses, net includes approximately $14 million of non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible debt.

Non-GAAP income before income taxes was $262 million, or 16.7% of net revenue in Q3, compared to 18.7% of net revenue in the prior quarter and 21.2% of net revenue in Q3 last year. Our non-GAAP effective tax rate was 17.4%.

Warrants
    --       --       10M  

For Q3, our diluted share count was approximately 374 million, lower than our guidance of approximately 380 million. Our average stock price was $37.31 during the third quarter. Since the average stock price was below the $41.28 conversion price of the warrants, there was no impact from warrants this quarter.

Whenever the average quarterly share price is above the notes’ $31.85 conversion price, our convertible notes will have a dilutive impact on our net income per share. We expect the dilutive effect from the notes will ultimately be 80% hedged, although the hedge will not be reflected in our share count until the notes are converted or mature in June 2013, as the hedge is considered anti-dilutive under GAAP. If the notes had been converted in Q3, the hedge would have reduced our share count by approximately 5 million shares.

This forecast is based on current business expectations and market conditions. Dilutive share count includes the impact of our convertible notes and warrants, calculated based upon our average stock price of $39.43 for the first 10 days of our fourth quarter. We estimate share count for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 will increase slightly to approximately 378 million shares, including an estimated 8 million shares from the Company’s outstanding convertible notes. Share count does not include the Company’s outstanding note hedge that is expected to offset 80% of the dilution from the convertible notes at maturity or conversion, which would offset approximately 6 million shares if the conversion or maturity were to occur in the fourth quarter.
 
 

6 Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.

NetApp Usage of Non-GAAP Financials
 
The Company refers to the non-GAAP financial measures cited above in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operational performance. Non-GAAP net income excludes the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition related income and expenses, restructuring and other charges, asset impairments, non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible debt, net losses or gains on investments, and our GAAP tax provision, but includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon our 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. We have excluded these items in order to enhance investors’ understanding of our ongoing operations. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations because they should not be used to evaluate our company without reference to their corresponding GAAP financial measures. As such, we compensate for these material limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.
 
These 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. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used to measure company performance for the purposes of determining employee incentive plan compensation. We have historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to our investors and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting at this time.
 
 
 

 
 
All fiscal year 2011 results reflect the adoption of the new accounting standards related to revenue recognition that we announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011.  Previously reported quarterly results for fiscal 2011 have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of these new standards and may differ from the originally reported results.
