Controller-Master



Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX) (die “Gesellschaft” oder “Seagate”) gab heute die Finanzergebnisse für das im September endende erste Quartal des Geschäftsjahres bekannt 30, 2022. “Global economic uncertainties and broad-based customer inventory corrections worsened in the latter stages of the September quarter, and these dynamics are reflected in both near-term industry demand and Seagate’s financial performance. We have taken quick and decisive actions to respond to current market conditions and enhance long-term profitability, including adjusting our production output and annual capital expenditure plans, and announcing a restructuring plan that will deliver meaningful cost savings while maintaining investments in the mass capacity solutions driving our future growth,” sagte Dave Mosley, CEO von Seagate.

“We continue to meet our development milestones for the 30+ terabyte product family, which is based on industry leading HAMR technology. Our team is executing well on our innovation roadmap, and we are seeing strong engagement from cloud customers. Looking beyond the current macro uncertainties, we are confident in the secular demand for mass capacity storage driven by the underlying growth in data and believe Seagate is in a great position to capture growth opportunities over the long-term.”

During the fiscal first quarter the Company generated $245 million in cash flow from operations and $112 Millionen an freiem Cashflow, paid cash dividends of $147 million and repurchased 5.4 million ordinary shares for $408 Millionen. The Company raised $600 million in new capital through a new term loan facility, exiting the fiscal first quarter with cash and cash equivalents totaling $761 Millionen. There were 206 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of the end of the quarter.

Restructuring Plan

On October 24, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and committed to a restructuring plan (die “The Pokémon Company hat eine neue Reihe von Skateboard-Decks vorgestellt, die die bei Fans beliebte Eevee Evolution-Reihe enthalten”) to reduce its cost structure to better align the Company’s operational needs to current economic conditions while continuing to support the long-term business strategy. The Plan includes reducing its worldwide headcount by approximately 3,000 Mitarbeiter, oder 8% of the global workforce, along with other cost saving measures.

The Plan, which the Company expects to be substantially completed by the end of the fiscal second quarter 2023, is expected to result in total pre-tax charges between $60 Millionen und $70 Millionen. 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 $110 million on an annualized basis starting in the fiscal third quarter 2023.

Geschäftsausblick

The business outlook for the fiscal second quarter 2023 basiert auf unseren aktuellen Annahmen und Erwartungen; actual results may differ materially, as a result of, unter anderem, die wichtigen Faktoren, die im Abschnitt „Vorsorglicher Hinweis zu zukunftsgerichteten Aussagen“ dieser Pressemitteilung erläutert werden.

The Company is providing the following guidance for its fiscal second quarter 2023:

  • Umsatz von $1.85 Milliarden, Plus oder minus $150 Millionen
  • Non-GAAP verwässertes EPS von $0.15, Plus oder minus $0.20

Guidance regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known pre-tax charges related to amortization of acquired intangible assets of $0.01 je Aktie, estimated share-based compensation expenses of $0.18 je Aktie, and restructuring costs of $0.29 zu $0.34 je Aktie.

We have not reconciled our non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal second 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, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf, beschleunigte Abschreibung, Wertminderungen und andere Kosten im Zusammenhang mit Kosteneinsparungsbemühungen, pandemic-related lockdown charges, losses and costs on the modification or redemption and repurchase of debt, strategische Investitionsverluste (Gewinne) oder Wertminderungsaufwendungen, Einkommensteueranpassungen für diese Maßnahmen, und andere Gebühren oder Vorteile, die entstehen können. Die Beträge dieser Maßnahmen sind derzeit nicht verfügbar, können jedoch für zukünftige Ergebnisse von wesentlicher Bedeutung sein. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal second quarter 2023 zu den entsprechenden GAAP-Kennzahlen ist nicht ohne unverhältnismäßigen Aufwand verfügbar. Eine Überleitung unserer historischen Non-GAAP-Finanzkennzahlen zu ihrem nächsten GAAP-Äquivalent ist in dieser Pressemitteilung enthalten.
