- GAAP (loss) per share of $(2.09); non-GAAP (loss) per share of
$(0.28)
- Cash flow from operations of $228 million and free cash flow of

- Declared cash dividend of $0.70 per share
Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX) (the “Company” or
“Seagate”) today reported financial results for its fiscal third
quarter ended March 31, 2023.
“We are seeing a more elongated customer inventory correction
that led to weaker than expected nearline demand among a few large
customers late in the quarter. Consequently, our March quarter
revenue came in at the low-end of our guidance range, which along
with underutilization charges and other factors had a severe impact
on our reported margins and profitability,” said Dave Mosley,
Seagate’s chief executive officer.
“Looking ahead, we now expect demand recovery to begin towards
the end of the calendar year. In response to this dynamic
environment, we are taking aggressive actions to lower our cost
structure while still positioning Seagate to thrive over the
long-term and sustain our technology leadership. To that end, we
continue to execute on our product roadmap, including our
strategically vital HAMR platform that we launched in April, as
anticipated.”

GAAP operating expenses for the fiscal third quarter included a
$300 million settlement penalty for alleged violations of U.S.
Export Administration Regulations by the U.S. Department of
Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), that were
subsequently resolved by a settlement agreement on April 18, 2023.
Quarterly payments of $15 million will be made over the course of 5
years, starting in fiscal second quarter 2024.
During the fiscal third quarter the Company generated $228
million in cash flow from operations and $174 million in free cash
flow, and paid cash dividends of $145 million. Cash and cash
equivalents totaled $766 million. There were 207 million ordinary
shares issued and outstanding as of the end of the quarter.
Seagate has issued a Supplemental Financial Information
document, which is available on Seagate’s Investor Relations
website at investors.seagate.com.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per share, which will be payable
on July 5, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of
business on June 21, 2023. The payment of any future quarterly
dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be
dependent upon Seagate’s financial position, results of operations,
available cash, cash flow, capital requirements and other factors
deemed relevant by the Board.
Restructuring Plan
On April 20, 2023, the Company committed to a restructuring plan
(the “Plan”) to reduce its cost structure in response to changes in
macroeconomic and business conditions. The Plan is intended to
align the Company’s operational needs with the near-term demand
environment while continuing to support the long-term business
strategy. The Plan, which the Company expects to be substantially
completed by the end of the fiscal fourth quarter 2023, is expected
to result in total pre-tax charges of approximately $150 million.
The charges are expected to be primarily cash-based and consist of
employee severance and other one-time termination benefits. The
Company expects to realize run-rate savings of approximately $200
million on an annualized basis starting in the fiscal first quarter
2024.
Business Outlook
The business outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter 2023 is based
on our current assumptions and expectations; actual results may
differ materially, as a result of, among other things, the
important factors discussed in the Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements section of this release.
The Company is providing the following guidance for its fiscal
fourth quarter 2023:
- Revenue of $1.7 billion, plus or minus $150 million
- Non-GAAP (loss) per share of $(0.20), plus or minus $0.20
Guidance regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known pre-tax
charges related to estimated share-based compensation expenses of
$0.16 per share and restructuring costs of approximately $0.72 per
share.
We have not reconciled our non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for
fiscal fourth quarter 2023 to the most directly comparable GAAP
measure because material items that may impact these measures are
out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted,
including, but not limited to, accelerated depreciation, impairment
and other charges related to cost saving efforts, net (gain)
recognized from early redemption of debt and debt modification
costs, pandemic-related lockdown charges, purchase order
cancellation fees, strategic investment losses (gains) or
impairment charges, income tax adjustments on these measures, and
other charges or benefits that may arise. The amounts of these
measures are not currently available but may be material to future
results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for
fiscal fourth quarter 2023 to the corresponding GAAP measures is
not available without unreasonable effort. A reconciliation of our
historical non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP
equivalent is contained in this release.

Use of non-GAAP financial information
The Company uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, gross
margin, operating expenses, income from operations, operating
margin, net income, diluted EPS, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA and last twelve months adjusted EBITDA, which are adjusted
from results based on GAAP to exclude certain benefits, expenses,
gains and losses. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to
enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current
financial performance and its prospects for the future.
Specifically, the Company believes non-GAAP results provide useful
information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP
results exclude certain benefits, expenses, gains and losses that
it believes are not indicative of its core operating results and
because it is similar to the approach used in connection with the
financial models and estimates published by financial analysts who
follow the Company.
These non-GAAP results are some of the measurements management
uses to assess the Company’s performance, allocate resources and
plan for future periods. Reported non-GAAP results should only be
considered as supplemental to results prepared in accordance with
GAAP, and not considered as a substitute or replacement for, or
superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may differ from
the non-GAAP measures reported by other companies in its
industry.

The Company’s Non-GAAP measures are adjusted for the
following items:
Accelerated depreciation, impairment and other charges
related to cost saving efforts
These expenses are excluded in the non-GAAP measures due to the
inconsistency in amount and frequency and are excluded to
facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of the Company’s current
operating performance and comparison to its past periods’ operating
performance.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets
The Company records expense from amortization of intangible
assets that were acquired in connection with its business
combinations over their estimated useful lives. Such charges are
inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing
and magnitude of the Company’s acquisitions. Consequently, these
expenses are excluded in the non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more
meaningful evaluation of its current operating performance and
comparison to its past periods’ operating performance.
BIS settlement penalty
The Company accrued a settlement penalty of $300 million for the
fiscal third quarter of 2023 related to the alleged violations of
the U.S. Export Administration Regulations between August 17, 2020
and September 29, 2021 by the BIS, which were subsequently resolved
by a settlement agreement on April 18, 2023. This settlement
penalty is excluded from the non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more
meaningful evaluation of the Company's current operating
performance and comparison to its past periods' operating
performance.
Net (gain) recognized from early redemption of debt and debt
modification costs
From time to time, the Company incurs gains, losses and fees
from the early redemption and repurchase of certain long-term debt
instruments. The gains and losses represent the difference between
the reacquisition price and the par value of the debt extinguished
less the write-off of any unamortized debt issuance costs and
discount. Fees include certain costs associated with a debt
extinguishment or modification. The amount of these charges may be
inconsistent in size and varies depending on the timing of the
early redemption of debt and consequently is excluded from the
non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of its
current operating performance and comparison to its past periods'
operating performance.
Pandemic-related lockdown charges
Pandemic-related lockdown charges are factory under-utilization
costs incurred due to the pandemic-related lockdown measures at our
factory in Wuxi, China. These charges are inconsistent in amount
and frequency and are excluded in the non-GAAP measures to
facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of its current operating
performance and comparison to its past periods’ operating
performance.
Purchase order cancellation fees
Purchase order cancellation fees are the costs incurred to
cancel certain purchase commitments made with the Company's
suppliers for component and equipment purchases that will not be
received due to change in forecasted demand. These charges are
inconsistent in amount and frequency and are excluded in the
non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of its
current operating performance and comparison to its past periods’
operating performance.
Restructuring and other, net
Restructuring and other, net are costs associated with
restructuring plans that are primarily related to costs associated
with reduction in the Company’s workforce, exiting certain
facilities and other related costs, as well as charges or gains
from sale of properties. These costs or benefits do not reflect the
Company’s ongoing operating performance and consequently are
excluded from the non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more meaningful
evaluation of its current operating performance and comparison to
its past periods’ operating performance.
Share-based compensation
These expenses consist primarily of expenses for employee
share-based compensation. Given the variety of equity awards used
by companies, the varying methodologies for determining share-based
compensation expense, the subjective assumptions involved in those
determinations, and the volatility in valuations that can be driven
by market conditions outside the Company’s control, the Company
believes excluding share-based compensation expense enhances the
ability of management and investors to understand and assess the
underlying performance of its business over time and compare it
against the Company’s peers, a majority of whom also exclude
share-based compensation expense from their non-GAAP results.
Strategic investment losses or impairment charges
From time to time, the Company incurs losses, gains or
impairment charges from strategic investments that are measured and
accounted at fair value, under the equity method of accounting, as
available-for-sale debt securities or adjust for downward or upward
adjustments to the carrying value under the measurement alternative
if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in
the current period that are not considered as part of its ongoing
operating performance. The resulting expense, gain or impairment
loss is inconsistent in amount and frequency and consequently is
excluded from the non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more meaningful
evaluation of its current operating performance and comparison to
its past periods’ operating performance.
Other charges
The other charges primarily include IT transformation costs.
These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are
excluded in the non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more meaningful
evaluation of its current operating performance and comparison to
its past periods’ operating performance.
Income tax adjustments
Provision or benefit for income taxes represents the tax effects
of non-GAAP adjustments determined using a hybrid with and without
method and effective tax rate for the applicable adjustment and
jurisdiction.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash
provided by operating activities less acquisition of property,
equipment and leasehold improvements. Free cash flow does not
reflect non-cash items, net cash used or provided by financing
activities and net cash used or provided by investing activities,
other than acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold
improvements. This non-GAAP financial measure is used by management
to assess the Company's sources of liquidity, capital structure and
operating performance.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and last twelve months (LTM) adjusted
EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income tax
expense, interest expense, interest income, depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses, gains and
losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core
operating results. These adjustments primarily include impairment
and other charges related to cost saving efforts, net gain
recognized from early redemption of debt and debt modification
costs, pandemic-related lockdown charges, purchase order
cancellation fees, restructuring and other, net, share-based
compensation, strategic investment losses (gains) or impairment
charges, other extraordinary charges such as factory
underutilization charges and BIS settlement penalty. LTM adjusted
EBITDA is defined as the total of last twelve months adjusted
EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to
evaluate the Company’s debt portfolio and structure to comply with
its financial debt covenants.
