Sunnyvale, Calif.-August 17, 2011-NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, which ended July 29, 2011. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 totaled $1.458 billion compared to revenues of $1.154 billion for the same period one year ago.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, GAAP net income was $139.5 million, or $0.34 per share[1], compared to GAAP net income of $150.7 million, or $0.40 per share, for the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $222.3 million, or $0.55 per share[2], compared to non-GAAP net income of $190.9 million, or $0.51 per share, for the same period a year ago.
Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment modestly impacting our revenue growth, NetApp still produced earnings per share slightly above the midpoint of our targeted range. The company achieved record levels of FAS6000 systems sales, near record numbers of new enterprise customer wins, and our new E-series sales exceeded our forecast, said Tom Georgens, president and CEO. Our gross margin performance demonstrates the strength of our competitive position in the market, helping us to achieve healthy operating results and earnings per share.
Outlook
NetApp estimates revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 to be in the range of $1.500 billion to $1.600 billion, which equates to approximately 3% to 10% sequential revenue growth and approximately 20% to 28% year-over-year revenue growth.
NetApp estimates that second quarter fiscal year 2012 GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.38 to $0.42 per share. NetApp estimates that second quarter fiscal year 2012 non-GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.58 to $0.62 per share.
NetApp estimates that share count for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 will decrease to approximately 392 million shares, including an estimated 10 million shares from the companys outstanding convertible notes[3] and 2 million shares from outstanding warrants. Share count does not include the companys outstanding note hedges which are expected to offset 80% of the dilution from the convertible notes at maturity or conversion.
