Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 24, 2013, Western Digital Corporation (“Western Digital”) announced financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended June 28, 2013. 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 Quarterly Fact Sheet for the fourth quarter ended June 28, 2013 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 June 28, 2013, and free cash flow for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2013. These non-GAAP net income and earnings per share measures exclude amortization of intangibles related to the HGST acquisition, certain tax related matters, certain employee termination benefits and other charges. Because management believes these expenses may not be indicative of ongoing operations, management believes that the non-GAAP net income and earnings per share 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. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Management believes that the free cash flow measure presented in the press release is useful to investors as a means of comparing Western Digital’s liquidity with other companies in its industry.

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.

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, paying dividends 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. Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Gross Profit: Non-GAAP gross margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue. Non-GAAP gross profit is a non-GAAP measure defined as gross profit before any charges to cost of goods sold that are unusual, non-recurring, or may not be indicative of ongoing operations. Because we believe some charges may not be indicative of ongoing operations, we believe that non-GAAP gross profit is a useful measure to investors as an alternative method for measuring our operating performance and comparing it against prior periods’ performance. Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS: Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS are non-GAAP measures defined as net income and EPS, respectively, before any charges that are unusual, non-recurring, or may not be indicative of ongoing operations, or any tax impact related to those charges.
