Our recent product launch further enhanced our competitive position and significantly surpassed our expectations. We have experienced the fastest uptake for a new product in the history of the company and as a result, demand has exceeded the available supply of our new FAS3200 systems. We pride ourselves on our ability to execute this business with precision, even in the face of exceptionally rapid growth. We are committed to catching up to the demand as quickly as possible.
Outlook
NetApp estimates revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 to be approximately $1.380 billion, plus or minus 2%, which equates to approximately 7% to 11% sequential revenue growth and approximately 15% to 20% year over year revenue growth.
NetApp estimates that fourth quarter fiscal year 2011 GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.38 to $0.42 per share. NetApp estimates that the fourth quarter fiscal year 2011 non-GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.49 to $0.53 per share.
NetApp estimates that share count for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 will increase to approximately 414 million shares, including an estimated 18 million shares from the companys outstanding convertible notes[3] and 12 million shares from outstanding warrants. Share count does not include the companys 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 14 million shares if the conversion or maturity occurred in the third quarter.
