This supplemental commentary is provided concurrently with our earnings press release to allow for additional time to review and analyze additional supplemental data prior to commencement of the company’s earnings call. This information will not be read during the live call.
 
Safe Harbor Statement
 
These prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements and projections that involve risk and uncertainty, including the statements under the Q1 FY12 outlook section regarding our forecasted financial performance and share count for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Actual results may differ materially from our statements or projections. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from our statements or projections include, but are not limited to, customer demand for our products and services; our ability to effectively integrate the recently acquired Engenio external storage systems business and achieve our anticipated results for such business; our ability to increase revenue and manage our operating costs; our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products and services; increased competition risks associated with the anticipated growth in the networked storage market; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; general economic and market conditions, including our stock price; our ability to deliver new product architectures and enterprise service offerings; and our ability to design products and services that compete effectively from a price and performance perspective. Other equally important factors are detailed in our accompanying press release as well as in our Annual and Quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, on file with the SEC and also available on our website, all of which are incorporated by reference into today’s commentary.
 
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.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards Related to Revenue Recognition

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, NetApp adopted mandatory new accounting standards related to revenue recognition for transactions originating or materially modified in fiscal year 2011. This accounting convention affects the way certain deliverables in multiple-element arrangements are recognized from a revenue perspective. We implemented these standards retrospectively to the beginning of fiscal year 2011; therefore the full year and previously reported quarterly results for fiscal 2011 have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of these new standards.
 
 
 

 

All fiscal year 2011 disclosures (both full year and quarterly) reflect the adoption of the new accounting standards. Fiscal year 2010 numbers have not been adjusted. Year over year comparisons reflect the new accounting standards for fiscal year 2011 results and the prior standards for fiscal year 2010 results.

Fiscal year 2011 net revenue was $5.12 billion, an increase of 30% over fiscal year 2010.  Non-GAAP gross margins were 65.6% and reflect incremental improvement over last year’s results.

Revenue growth of 30% year over year outpaced growth in operating expenses and non-GAAP operating margin was 20% for fiscal year 2011. Profitability gains are reflected in the 46% year over year increase in non-GAAP net income per share.

Our net revenues for the three months and twelve months ended April 29, 2011 include a favorable impact of $48.2 million and $129.2 million, respectively, from the adoption of the new accounting standards related to revenue recognition. In Q2, application of the new standards included an incremental impact of approximately $28 million to both revenues and cost of revenues for a single transaction, the only such transaction of its kind, entered into in fiscal year 2011. While operating under the old methodology, the average impact of the first three quarters was just under $20 million per quarter. The gap was wider in Q4 as the previous methodology no longer governed our practices.

For Q4, our dilutive share count was approximately 404 million, slightly lower than our guidance of approximately 414 million. With an average stock price of $51.23 during Q4, both the convertible notes and warrants had a dilutive impact on our share count.

Our convertible notes have a dilutive impact on our share count whenever the average quarterly share price is above the notes’ $31.85 conversion price.  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 it is considered anti-dilutive under GAAP. If the notes had been converted in Q4, the hedge would have reduced our share count by approximately 12 million shares.
 
Unlike the notes, the warrants are not hedged and are dilutive whenever the average quarterly stock price is above $41.28.

This forecast reflects the Engenio acquisition which closed on May 9, new accounting standards related to revenue recognition and is based on current business expectations and current market conditions. Dilutive share count includes the impact of our convertible note and warrants, based upon our average stock price of $52.98 for the first 10 days of our first quarter. We estimate share count for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 will increase to approximately 410 million shares, including an estimated 16 million shares from the Company’s outstanding convertible notes and 9 million shares from outstanding warrants. Share count does not include the Company’s outstanding note hedges that are expected to offset 80% of the dilution from the convertible notes at maturity or conversion, which would equate to an offset of approximately 13 million shares if the conversion or maturity occurs in the first quarter.

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.
