Quarterly Highlights
 
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, NetApp unveiled its cloud strategy and introduced several new products and solutions to help customers transform their data center architectures to achieve greater storage efficiency through innovative data management techniques. NetApp also received numerous industry accolades for its work environment, products, innovative use of technology, and executive leadership.
 
The makeup of the data center is changing drastically as companies seek to take advantage of virtualization and highly efficient infrastructures. NetApp is primed to take advantage of this major shift in the market by offering enterprises industry-leading storage efficiency and data management solutions that are well suited for both internal and external cloud deployments.
 
This quarter NetApp introduced Data ONTAP® 8, the culmination of years of engineering effort to integrate the Data ONTAP 7G operating system with a next-generation scale-out architecture. Data ONTAP 8 will provide seamless data mobility and secure multi-tenancy, both of which are key requirements for the most sophisticated cloud infrastructures. In addition, Data ONTAP 8 provides a more robust platform for the next 10 years of innovation from NetApp.
 
 

 
NetApp also introduced the following new products and enhancements that uniquely complement VMware® vSphere 4 and VMware View to help customers optimize their desktop and cloud computing environments: Virtual Storage Console, SnapManager® for Virtual Infrastructure, and Rapid Cloning Utility.
 
Showing its commitment to midsize enterprise and distributed enterprise customers, NetApp announced the new FAS2040 storage system, providing customers with increased performance and capacity to handle demanding Microsoft® Windows® consolidation and virtualization workloads all on the same system. NetApp also announced significant price reductions for its FAS2020 systems and associated software, which are now preconfigured with high-capacity drives and include all protocols.
 
During the quarter, NetApp extended its leadership in Ethernet storage with standards-based products that support converged Ethernet (FCoE, iSCSI, NFS, CIFS) data access and help customers streamline their data centers and maximize ROI. With partners such as Cisco and QLogic, NetApp is expanding Ethernet as a storage infrastructure.
 
In an effort to help customers maximize the value of their existing storage investments, NetApp unveiled a program to help customers achieve greater storage efficiency in their data centers. Under the terms of the Zero Investment Promise(3) Program ("ZIP Program"), customers with EMC and HP SANs that deploy NetApp® V-Series can reduce storage capacity and the associated costs of their existing third-party storage investments. If after 90 days the customer files an approved claim that the storage savings are not achieved, the customer will keep the equipment at no charge.
 
Finally, in addition to NetApp's various solution and program announcements during the quarter, the company received the following awards and industry recognition:
 
·

"Safe Harbor" Statement Under U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
 
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include all of the statements under the Outlook section relating to our forecasted operating results, share count and metrics for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 and the benefits that we expect our customers to realize from using our products. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include risks associated with the anticipated growth in network storage and content delivery markets; our ability to deliver new product architectures and enterprise service offerings; competition risks, including our ability to design products and services that compete effectively from a price and performance perspective; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products; and other important factors as described in NetApp reports and documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the factors described under the sections captioned "Risk Factors" in our most recently submitted 10-K. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
(1) Earnings per share is calculated using the diluted number of shares for all periods presented.
 
(2) Non-GAAP results of operations exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses, merger termination proceeds (net of related expenses), restructuring and other charges, noncash interest expense associated with our convertible debt, net loss or gain on investments, and our GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, but includes a proforma tax provision based upon our projected annual proforma effective tax rate.

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 operational performance. Non-GAAP results of operations exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses, merger termination proceeds (net of related expenses), restructuring and other charges, noncash interest expense associated with our convertible debt, net loss or gain on investments, and our GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, but includes a proforma tax provision based upon our projected annual proforma effective tax rate. 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 facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures in our earnings announcement because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making, such as employee compensation planning. In addition, 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.
 
NetApp Use of Corporate Web Site
 
In accordance with SEC guidance published on August 22, 2008 (Release No. 34-58288), NetApp will begin to disseminate material information about the company through its corporate Web site within the next several fiscal quarters. NetApp intends to designate a separate portion of its corporate Web site for purposes of these disclosures and will include a prominent link on its Web site to allow visitors to locate this material information, which will be routinely updated. The Web site will supplement, rather than replace, NetApp's current existing channels of information distribution.
