To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the table above sets forth Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share (“Non-GAAP measures”). These Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from Non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Western Digital Corporation believes the presentation of these Non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors for measuring the Company’s earnings performance and comparing it against prior periods.

Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share are non-GAAP measures defined as net income and diluted net income per common share, respectively, before any charges that may not be indicative of ongoing operations, or any tax impact related to those charges. These Non-GAAP measures exclude: amortization of acquired intangible assets; employee termination, asset impairment and other charges; convertible debt activity, net; charges related to cost saving initiatives; acquisition-related charges; insurance recoveries; other charges; and income tax adjustments.


As described above, we exclude the following items from our Non-GAAP measures:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We incur expenses from the amortization of acquired intangible assets over their economic lives. Such charges are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions and any related impairment charges.

Employee termination, asset impairment and other charges. From time-to-time, in order to realign our operations with anticipated market demand or to achieve cost synergies from the integration of acquisitions, we may terminate employees and/or restructure our operations. From time-to-time, we may also incur charges from the impairment of intangible assets and other long-lived assets. These charges (including any reversals of charges recorded in prior periods) are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are not a part of the ongoing operation of our business.

Convertible debt activity, net. We exclude non-cash economic interest expense associated with the convertible senior notes, the gains and losses on the conversion of the convertible senior notes and call option, and unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the exercise option and call option. These charges and gains and losses do not reflect our cash operating results or the ongoing results of our business.

Charges related to cost saving initiatives. In connection with the transformation of our business, beginning in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2016, we have incurred charges related to cost saving initiatives which do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. These charges, which are not part of the ongoing operation of our business, primarily relate to costs associated with rationalizing our channel partners or vendors, transforming our information systems infrastructure, integrating our product roadmap, and accelerated depreciation on assets.

Acquisition-related charges. In connection with our business combinations, we incur expenses which we would not have otherwise incurred as part of our business operations. These expenses include third-party professional service and legal fees, third-party integration services, severance costs, non-cash adjustments to the fair value of acquired inventory, contract termination costs, and retention bonuses. We may also experience other one-time accounting impacts in connection with these transactions. These charges and impacts are related to acquisitions, are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and have no direct correlation to the operation of our business.

Insurance recoveries. From time-to-time, we receive insurance recoveries related to losses or other events which occurred in a prior period. Such recoveries are inconsistent in amount and frequency.

Other charges. From time-to-time, we sell investments or other assets which are not considered strategic or necessary to our business; are a party to legal or arbitration proceedings, which could result in an expense or benefit due to settlements, final judgments, or accruals for loss contingencies; or incur other charges or gains which are not a part of the ongoing operation of our business. The resulting expense or benefit is inconsistent in amount and frequency.

Income tax adjustments. Income tax adjustments reflect the difference between income taxes based on a forecasted annual non-GAAP tax rate and a forecasted annual GAAP tax rate as a result of the timing of certain non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Quarterly Fact Sheet contains non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash flows from operations less purchases of property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment, and the net activity in notes receivable and investments in the Flash Ventures. 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.

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.

Economic Profit: Economic profit (EP) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net operating profit after taxes less the value of invested capital multiplied by the weighted average cost of capital, where net operating profit after taxes is defined as income from operations minus tax expense and invested capital is defined as the sum of current debt, long-term debt and equity. Management uses EP to evaluate business performance and allocate resources, and it is a component in determining management’s incentive compensation. Management believes EP provides additional perspective to investors about financial returns generated by the business and represents profit generated over and above the cost of capital used by the business to generate that profit.

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 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 Operating Expenses: Non-GAAP operating expenses is a non-GAAP measure defined as operating expenses before any charges that may not be indicative of ongoing operations. We believe that non-GAAP operating expenses is a useful measure to investors as an alternative method for measuring our expense management 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 may not be indicative of ongoing operations, or any tax impact related to those charges. We believe that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS are useful measures to investors as an alternative method for measuring our earnings performance and comparing it against prior periods’ performance.

Non-GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of non-GAAP pre-tax income: Non-GAAP income tax provision is a non-GAAP measure defined as income tax provision plus any income tax adjustments that may not be indicative of ongoing operations. We believe that non-GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of non-GAAP pre-tax income is a useful measure to investors as an alternative method for measuring our effective tax rate and comparing it against prior periods’ performance.

We exclude the following items from our non-GAAP measures:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets: We incur expenses from the amortization of acquired intangible assets over their economic lives. Such charges are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions and any related impairment charges.

Employee termination, asset impairment and other charges: From time-to-time, in order to realign our operations with anticipated market demand or to achieve cost synergies from the integration of acquisitions, we may terminate employees and/or restructure our operations. From time-to-time, we may also incur charges from the impairment of intangible assets and other long-lived assets. These charges (including any reversals of charges recorded in prior periods) are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are not a part of the ongoing operation of our business.

Convertible debt: We exclude non-cash economic interest expense associated with the convertible senior notes, the gains and losses on the conversion of the convertible senior notes and call option, and unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the exercise option and call option. These charges and gains and losses do not reflect our cash operating results or the ongoing results of our business.

Charges related to cost saving initiatives: In connection with the transformation of our business, beginning in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2016, we have incurred charges related to cost saving initiatives which do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. These charges, which are not part of the ongoing operation of our business, primarily relate to costs associated with rationalizing our channel partners or vendors, transforming our information systems infrastructure, integrating our product roadmap, and accelerated depreciation on assets.

Charges related to arbitration award: In relation to an arbitration award for claims brought against the Company by Seagate Technology LLC, which was satisfied in October 2014, and the related dispute over the calculation of post-award interest, which was resolved in February 2016, we have recorded loss contingencies. The resulting expense is inconsistent in amount and frequency.

Acquisition-related charges: In connection with our business combinations, we incur expenses which we would not have otherwise incurred as part of our business operations. These expenses include third-party professional service and legal fees, third-party integration services, severance costs, non-cash adjustments to the fair value of acquired inventory, contract termination costs, retention bonuses, and changes to the fair value of contingent consideration. We may also experience other one-time accounting impacts in connection with these transactions. These charges and impacts are related to acquisitions, are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and have no direct correlation to the operation of our business.

Insurance recoveries: From time-to-time, we receive insurance recoveries related to losses or other events which occurred in a prior period. Such recoveries are inconsistent in amount and frequency.

Other charges: From time-to-time, we sell investments or other assets which are not considered strategic or necessary to our business; are a party to legal or arbitration proceedings, which could result in an expense or benefit due to settlements, final judgments, or accruals for loss contingencies; or incur other charges or gains which are not a part of the ongoing operation of our business. The resulting expense or benefit is inconsistent in amount and frequency.

Income tax adjustments: Income tax adjustments reflect the difference between income taxes based on a forecasted annual non-GAAP tax rate and a forecasted annual GAAP tax rate as a result of the timing of certain non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments.

Formulas

Share = Units (HDD) / TAM

ASP = Revenue / Units (HDD)

Free Cash Flow = Cash Flow from Operations – Capital Expenditures, net

EBITDA = Net Income (Loss) + Interest and Other Expense, net + Income Tax Expense + Depreciation and Amortization

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) = Accounts Receivable / (Revenue / 91 days)

Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) = Inventory / (Cost of Revenue / 91 days)

Days Payables Outstanding (DPO) = Accounts Payable / (Cost of Revenue / 91 days)

Cash Conversion Cycle = DSO + DIO – DPO

Inventory Turns = 364 days / DIO

R4Q Economic Profit = R4Q Net Operating Profit After Taxes – (Invested Capital x WACC)

 

    Invested Capital = Short-term debt + Current portion of long-term debt + Long-term debt + Total shareholders’ equity

 

    WACC7 = 11%

R4Q ROIC = R4Q (Net Income (Loss) + Interest Expense) / R4Q Average (Short-term debt + Current portion of long-term debt + Long-term debt + Total shareholders’ equity)

R4Q ROA = R4Q Net Income (Loss) / R4Q Average Total Assets
