Warrants
    --       --       --  

For Q2, diluted share count was approximately 368 million, lower than our previous guidance of approximately 370 million. With an average share price of $32.65 during our second quarter, the convertible notes had a minimal impact on our share count. Since the average stock price was below the $41.28 conversion price of the warrants, there was no share count impact from the 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 Q2, the hedge would have reduced our share count by approximately 800 thousand shares. Unlike the notes, the warrants are not hedged and are dilutive whenever the average quarterly stock price is above $41.28.

Non-GAAP Net Income per Share, Diluted
$0.53 - $0.58
GAAP Net Income per Share, Diluted
$0.29 - $0.34

This outlook is based on current business expectations and market conditions and continued uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. Dilutive share count includes the estimated impact of our convertible notes and warrants, calculated based upon our average stock price of $27.66 for the first 8 trading days of our third quarter. We estimate share count for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 will decrease to approximately 365 million shares. Since the average stock price is below the $31.85 strike price for the convertible notes, the Q3 share count outlook does not include any estimate for the dilution associated with the Company’s outstanding note hedge.
6 Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and 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.
