| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On July 21, 2011, Western Digital Corporation (“Western Digital”) announced financial
results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended July 1, 2011. A copy of the press
release making this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference. A copy of Western Digital’s Investor Information Summary for the fourth fiscal quarter
ended July 1, 2011 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In Western Digital’s press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, Western Digital reports
certain financial information, including net income and earnings per share on both a GAAP and a
non-GAAP basis for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended July 1, 2011. These non-GAAP
measures exclude expenses related to Western Digital’s planned acquisition of Hitachi Global
Storage Technologies and unrelated litigation accruals. Because management believes these expenses
may not be indicative of ongoing operations, management believes that the non-GAAP measures
presented in the press release are useful to investors as an alternative method for measuring
Western Digital’s operating performance and comparing it against prior periods’ performance.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 2.02,
including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to
the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration
statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such
filing.

NET INCOME OF $158 MILLION, OR $0.67 PER SHARE
NET INCOME OF $158 MILLION, OR $0.67 PER SHARE
Full-Year Revenue Totals $9.53 Billion, Net Income of $3.09 Per Share
IRVINE, Calif.—Jul. 21, 2011—Western Digital Corp. (NYSE: WDC) today reported financial results
for its fiscal year 2011 and fourth quarter ended Jul. 1, 2011.
For
the quarter, revenue totaled $2.4 billion, net income was
$158 million, or $0.67 per share, and hard-drive unit shipments
were 54 million. The quarterly results included total expenses of
$35 million associated with the planned acquisition of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi
GST) announced Mar. 7, 2011, and for unrelated litigation accruals. Excluding these expenses,
non-GAAP net income was $193 million or $0.81 per share.1
In
the year-ago quarter, the company reported revenue of
$2.38 billion, net income of $265 million, or $1.13 per
share, and shipped 50 million hard drives. The 2010 results included $27 million of expenses related to litigation accruals.
Excluding these expenses, the year-ago quarter non-GAAP net income
was $292 million, or $1.24 per share.2

The company generated $447 million in cash from operations during the June quarter,
ending with total cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 billion.
For fiscal year 2011, the company posted revenue of $9.53 billion and net income of
$726 million, or $3.09 per share, compared to fiscal 2010 revenue of $9.85 billion and net income
of $1.38 billion, or $5.93 per share. The 2011 net income included total expenses of
$44 million associated with the planned acquisition of Hitachi GST and unrelated litigation
accruals. Excluding these expenses, fiscal 2011 non-GAAP net income was $770 million or $3.28 per
share.1 The 2010 net income included $27 million of expenses related to litigation
accruals. Excluding these expenses, fiscal 2010 non-GAAP net income was $1.41 billion, or $6.05 per
share.2
“In the June quarter, we were able to meet stronger than anticipated demand, especially from
our OEM customers,” said John Coyne, president and chief executive officer. “We believe the
stronger demand was driven by increased use of sea freight in advance of the second half of the
calendar year as well as supply continuity concerns in the aftermath of the Japan earthquake.
“In a challenging HDD market environment in fiscal 2011, the industry saw unit volume growth
of four percent while WD achieved growth of six percent as customers demonstrated a continued
preference for the WD value proposition.
“We remain focused on completing our strategic acquisition of Hitachi GST. We are
continuing to engage in the approval process with all the appropriate regulatory agencies and thus
far we have received clearance from Brazil, Taiwan and Turkey. We continue to work closely with
the remaining agencies which are reviewing our transaction. As previously announced, we now expect
that the transaction will close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2011, and our integration
planning activities continue on schedule.”

| Page ? 4 (r) Non-GAAP Financial Measures Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures. We consider free cash flow to be useful as an indicator of our overall liquidity, as the amount of free cash flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the Company's business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening the balance sheet, repaying debt and repurchasing stock. We also believe that free cash flow is one of several benchmarks used by investors for comparison of our liquidity with other companies in our industry, although our measure of free cash flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to cash flows from operations or other cash flow measurements determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA: EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We include information concerning EBITDA because we believe it is a useful measure to evaluate our operating performance. As a measure of our operating performance, we believe EBITDA provides a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. While EBITDA is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance, it does not represent net income as defined by GAAP and it should not be considered as an alternative to that measure in evaluating operating performance.
