N OTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

NetApp, Inc. (we, us, NetApp, or the Company) makes data infrastructure intelligent by combining unified data storage, integrated data services, and CloudOps solutions. NetApp creates silo-free infrastructure, harnessing observability and artificial intelligence to enable seamless data management. We provide a full range of enterprise-class software, systems and services that customers use to transform their data infrastructures across data types, workloads, and environments to realize business possibilities.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the last Friday in April. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal months with calendar months. Fiscal years 2025 and 2024, ending on April 25, 2025 and April 26, 2024, respectively, are each 52-week years, with 13 weeks in each quarter.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 26, 2024 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended October 25, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, reserves and allowances; inventory valuation; valuation of goodwill and intangibles; restructuring reserves; employee benefit accruals; stock-based compensation; loss contingencies; investment impairments; income taxes and fair value measurements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, the anticipated effects of which have been incorporated, as applicable, into management's estimates as of October 25, 2024.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our income tax disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis. We will adopt the new requirements for our annual periods starting in fiscal 2025 (and interim periods thereafter). We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement, which we expect to result in enhanced financial statement disclosures only.

Long-term |  |  | 2,055 |  |  |  | 2,058 |
Total |  | $ | 4,100 |  |  | $ | 4,234 |

Deferred product revenue represents unrecognized revenue related to undelivered product commitments and other product deliveries that have not met all revenue recognition criteria. Deferred services revenue represents customer payments made in advance for services, which include software and hardware support contracts, certain public cloud services and other services. Financed unearned services revenue represents undelivered services for which cash has been received under certain third-party financing arrangements. See Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to these arrangements.

During the six months ended October 25, 2024 and October 27, 2023, we recognized revenue of $1,264 million and $1,258 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance at the beginning of the respective periods.

Remaining performance obligations

As of October 25, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $4.4 billion. Because customer orders are typically placed on an as-needed basis, and cancellable without penalty prior to shipment, orders in backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue and have not been included in this amount. We expect to recognize as revenue approximately 49% of our remaining performance obligations in the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, whereby the inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the three levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

We consider an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and consider an inactive market to be one in which there are infrequent or few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers. Where appropriate, our own or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in measuring the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively.

Investments

The following is a summary of our investments at their cost or amortized cost as of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024 (in millions):

|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | April 26, 2024 |

Mutual funds |  |  | 43 |  |  |  | 38 |
Total debt and equity securities |  | $ | 1,508 |  |  | $ | 2,560 |

The fair value of our investments approximates their cost or amortized cost for both periods presented. Investments in mutual funds relate to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan offered to certain employees.

Our Level 2 debt instruments are held by a custodian who prices some of the investments using standard inputs in various asset price models or obtains investment prices from third-party pricing providers that incorporate standard inputs in various asset price models. These pricing providers utilize the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or, if specific prices are not available for these securities, use other observable inputs like market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. We review Level 2 inputs and fair value for reasonableness and the values may be further validated by comparison to multiple independent pricing sources. In addition, we review third-party pricing provider models, key inputs and assumptions and understand the pricing processes at our third-party providers in determining the overall reasonableness of the fair value of our Level 2 debt instruments. As of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024, we have not made any adjustments to the prices obtained from our third-party pricing providers.

Fair Value of Debt

As of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024, the fair value of our long-term debt, which includes the current portion of long-term debt, was approximately $1,881 million and $2,209 million, respectively. The fair value of our long-term debt was based on observable market prices in a less active market.

Senior Notes

On September 30, 2024, upon maturity, we repaid the 3.30% Senior Notes due September 2024 for an aggregate amount of $407 million, comprised of the principal and unpaid interest. Interest on our outstanding Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in June and December.

Our Senior Notes, which are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, rank equally in right of payment with any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

We may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part, at any time at our option at specified redemption prices. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes under specified terms. The Senior Notes also include covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens on assets or on shares of stock or indebtedness of our subsidiaries; to engage in certain sale and lease-back transactions; and to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. As of October 25, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Notes.

As of October 25, 2024, our aggregate future principal debt maturities are as follows (in millions):

Commercial Paper Program and Credit Facility

We have a commercial paper program (the “Program”), under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. Amounts available under the Program, as amended in July 2017, may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $1.0 billion. The maturities of the notes can vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear interest at rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. There were no commercial paper notes outstanding as of October 25, 2024 or April 26, 2024.

In connection with the Program, we have a senior unsecured credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders. The credit agreement, which was amended in May 2023, provides for a $1.0 billion revolving unsecured credit facility, with a sublimit of $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit on our behalf. The credit facility matures on January 22, 2026, with an option for us to extend the maturity date for two additional 1-year periods, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used by us for general corporate purposes and as liquidity support for our existing commercial paper program. As of October 25, 2024, we were compliant with all associated covenants in the agreement. No amounts were drawn against this credit facility during any of the periods presented.

7. Leases

We lease real estate, equipment and automobiles in the U.S. and internationally. Our real estate leases, which are responsible for the majority of our aggregate ROU asset and liability balances, include leases for office space, data centers and other facilities, and as of October 25, 2024, have remaining lease terms not exceeding 18 years. Some of these leases contain options that allow us to extend or terminate the lease agreement. Our equipment leases are primarily for servers and networking equipment and as of October 25, 2024, have remaining lease terms not exceeding 4 years. As of October 25, 2024, our automobile leases have remaining lease terms not exceeding 4 years. All our leases are classified as operating leases except for certain immaterial equipment finance leases.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

Restricted Stock Units

We granted approximately 3 million restricted stock units (RSUs), including performance-based RSUs (PBRSUs), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $127.61 per share during the six months ended October 25, 2024.

In the six months ended October 25, 2024, we granted PBRSUs to certain of our executives. Each PBRSU has performance-based vesting criteria (in addition to the service-based vesting criteria) such that the PBRSUs cliff-vest at the end of a three year performance period, which began on the date specified in the grant agreements and typically ends on the last day of the third fiscal year, following the grant date. The number of shares that will be used to calculate the settlement amount for all of these PBRSUs at the end of the applicable performance and service period will range from 0% to 200% of a target number of shares originally granted. For half of the PBRSUs granted in the six months ended October 25, 2024, the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount will depend upon our Total Stockholder Return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of a specified group of benchmark peer companies (each expressed as a growth rate percentage) calculated as of the end of the performance period. For the remaining half of the PBRSUs granted in the six months ended October 25, 2024, the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount will depend upon the Company's billings result average over the three-year performance period. The billings result average is computed based on achievement against annual billings targets, with each target set at the beginning of the respective fiscal year, during the

17

three-year performance period. Billings for purposes of measuring the performance of these PBRSUs means the total obtained by adding net revenues as reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income to the amount reported as the change in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable measurement period, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The aggregate grant date fair value of PBRSUs granted in the current year was $62 million, which is being recognized to compensation expense over the remaining performance / service periods.

Stock Repurchase Program

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $1.0 billion of our common stock. As of October 25, 2024, our Board of Directors has authorized cumulative repurchases of up to $17.1 billion of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. Under this program, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by our management. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The following table summarizes activity related to the stock repurchase program for the six months ended October 25, 2024 (in millions, except for per share amounts):

Number of shares repurchased |  |  | 5.8 |
Average price per share |  | $ | 121.58 |
Stock repurchases allocated to additional paid-in capital |  | $ | 28 |
Stock repurchases allocated to retained earnings |  | $ | 672 |
Remaining authorization at end of period |  | $ | 802 |

Since the May 13, 2003 inception of our stock repurchase program through October 25, 2024, we repurchased a total of 377 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $43.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $16.3 billion.

Dividends

The timing and amount of future dividends will depend on market conditions, corporate business and financial considerations and regulatory requirements. All dividends declared have been determined by us to be legally authorized under the laws of the state in which we are incorporated.

9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We use derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risk. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The maximum length of time over which forecasted foreign currency denominated revenues are hedged is 12 months. The program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of our agreements. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. We also have in place master netting arrangements to mitigate the credit risk of our counterparties and to potentially reduce our losses due to counterparty nonperformance. We present our derivative instruments as net amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gross and net fair value amounts of such instruments were not material as of October 25, 2024 or April 26, 2024. All contracts have a maturity of less than 12 months.

The notional amount of our outstanding U.S. dollar equivalent foreign currency exchange forward contracts consisted of the following (in millions):

|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | April 26, 2024 |
Cash Flow Hedges |  |  |  |  |  |

10. Restructuring Charges

In the first six months of fiscal 2025, management approved restructuring plans to redirect resources to the highest return activities and reduce costs. These plans collectively reduced our global workforce by approximately 2% for which restructuring charges, comprised of employee severance related expenses, were recorded during the first six months of fiscal 2025. The activities under these plans were initiated during the first six months of fiscal 2025 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2025. Charges related to these plans consist primarily of employee severance-related costs.

In the first six months of fiscal 2024, management executed a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities, and to optimize our global office space for our hybrid work model. In connection with the plan, we reduced our global workforce by approximately 1% and terminated certain real estate leases in various countries, resulting in restructuring charges comprised primarily of employee severance related expenses and lease termination charges. The activities under the plan were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2024.

Activities related to our restructuring plans are summarized as follows (in millions):

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |
Balance at beginning of period |  | $ | 10 |  |  | $ | 36 |
Net charges |  |  | 29 |  |  |  | 31 |
Cash payments |  |  | (22 | ) |  |  | (46 | )
Balance at end of period |  | $ | 17 |  |  | $ | 21 |

11. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates for the periods presented were as follows:

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |
Effective tax rates |  |  | 17.0 | % |  |  | 23.8 | %

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of a significant amount of earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates below the United States (U.S.) statutory rate. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended October 25, 2024 includes an increase in discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended October 27, 2023 included benefits for fiscal 2023 foreign tax credits resulting from legislative guidance for that period, partially offset by an increase in stock compensation for which no tax benefit is recorded.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) recently enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework known as Pillar Two. These rules have been agreed to by most OECD members. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of Pillar Two rules. On February 1, 2023, the FASB indicated that they believe taxes imposed under Pillar Two is an alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the minimum tax would not be recognized or adjusted for the estimated future effects of the minimum tax but would be recognized in the period incurred. We are currently subject to Pillar Two rules starting in our fiscal year 2025. As of October 25, 2024, Pillar Two taxes do not have a significant impact on our financial statements, particularly due to the safe harbor relief during the transition period, but we are still closely monitoring developments.

Any OECD actions adopted internationally could impact our financial results in future periods.

We are currently undergoing various income tax audits in the U.S. and audits in several foreign tax jurisdictions. Transfer pricing calculations are key topics under these audits and are often subject to dispute and appeals.

We continue to monitor the progress of ongoing discussions with tax authorities and the impact, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions. We engage in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in multiple jurisdictions. We believe that within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude, certain statutes of limitations will lapse, or both. As a result of uncertainties regarding tax audits and their possible outcomes, an estimate of the range of possible impacts to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months cannot be made at this time.

As of October 25, 2024, we had $223 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Inclusive of penalties, interest and certain income tax benefits, $162 million would affect our provision for income taxes if recognized. Net unrecognized tax benefits of $161 million have been recorded in other long-term liabilities.

12. Net Income per Share

The following is a calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in millions, except per share amounts):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |  |  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income |  | $ | 299 |  |  | $ | 233 |  |  | $ | 547 |  |  | $ | 382 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Shares used in basic computation |  |  | 204 |  |  |  | 208 |  |  |  | 205 |  |  |  | 210 |
Dilutive impact of employee equity award plans |  |  | 6 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 6 |  |  |  | 4 |
Shares used in diluted computation |  |  | 210 |  |  |  | 211 |  |  |  | 211 |  |  |  | 214 |
Net Income per Share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic |  | $ | 1.47 |  |  | $ | 1.12 |  |  | $ | 2.67 |  |  | $ | 1.82 |
Diluted |  | $ | 1.42 |  |  | $ | 1.10 |  |  | $ | 2.59 |  |  | $ | 1.79 |

No potential shares from outstanding employee equity awards were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation for the three and six months ended October 25, 2024, respectively, while three million and four million shares from outstanding employee equity awards were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation for the three and six months ended October 27, 2023, respectively, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

13. Segment, Geographic, and Significant Customer Information

Our operations are organized into two segments: Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud. The two segments are based on the information reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate results and allocate resources. The CODM measures performance of each segment based on segment revenue and segment gross profit. We do not allocate to our segments certain cost of revenues which we manage at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. We do not allocate assets to our segments.

Hybrid Cloud offers a unified data storage portfolio of storage management and infrastructure solutions that help customers modernize their data centers. This portfolio supports structured and unstructured data with unified storage optimized for flash, disk, and cloud storage to handle data-intensive workloads and applications. Hybrid Cloud is composed of software, hardware, and related support, as well as professional and other services.

Public Cloud offers a portfolio of products delivered primarily as-a-service, including related support. This portfolio includes cloud storage and CloudOps services. Public Cloud includes certain reseller arrangements in which the timing of our consideration follows the end user consumption of the reseller services.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Orders and Other Commitments

23

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to third-party contract manufacturers and component suppliers to manage manufacturer lead times and meet product forecasts, and to other parties, to purchase various key components used in the manufacture of our products. A significant portion of our reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements consist of firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional commitments. As of October 25, 2024, we had approximately $0.5 billion in non-cancelable purchase commitments for inventory. We record a liability for firm, non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments for quantities in excess of our future demand forecasts consistent with the valuation of our excess and obsolete inventory. As of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024, such liability amounted to $17 million and $20 million, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. To the extent that such forecasts are not achieved, our commitments and associated accruals may change.

In addition to inventory commitments with contract manufacturers and component suppliers, we have open purchase orders and contractual obligations associated with our ordinary course of business for which we have not yet received goods or services. As of October 25, 2024, we had approximately $0.4 billion in other purchase obligations.

Financing Guarantees

While most of our arrangements for sales include short-term payment terms, from time to time we provide long-term financing to creditworthy customers. We have generally sold receivables financed through these arrangements on a non-recourse basis to third party financing institutions within 10 days of the contracts’ dates of execution, and we classify the proceeds from these sales as cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We account for the sales of these receivables as “true sales” as defined in the accounting standards on transfers of financial assets, as we are considered to have surrendered control of these financing receivables. Provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize product revenues for these arrangements, net of any payment discounts from financing transactions, upon product acceptance. We sold $26 million and $27 million of receivables during the six months ended October 25, 2024 and October 27, 2023, respectively.

In addition, we enter into arrangements with leasing companies for the sale of our hardware systems products. These leasing companies, in turn, lease our products to end-users. The leasing companies generally have no recourse to us in the event of default by the end-user and we recognize revenue upon delivery to the end-user customer, if all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Some of the leasing arrangements described above have been financed on a recourse basis through third-party financing institutions. Under the terms of recourse leases, which are generally three years or less, we remain liable for the aggregate unpaid remaining lease payments to the third-party leasing companies in the event of end-user customer default. These arrangements are generally collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Where we provide a guarantee for recourse leases and collectability is probable, we account for these transactions as sales type leases. If collectability is not probable, the cash received is recorded as a deposit liability and revenue is deferred until the arrangement is deemed collectible. For leases that we are not a party to, other than providing recourse, we recognize revenue when control is transferred. As of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024, the aggregate amount by which such contingencies exceeded the associated liabilities was not significant. To date, we have not experienced significant losses under our lease financing programs or other financing arrangements.

We have entered into service contracts with certain of our end-user customers that are supported by third-party financing arrangements. If a service contract is terminated as a result of our non-performance under the contract or our failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract or to pay the aggregate unpaid financing payments under such arrangements. As of October 25, 2024, we have not been required to make any payments under these arrangements, and we believe the likelihood of having to acquire a material amount of assets or make material payments under these arrangements is remote. The portion of the financial arrangement that represents unearned services revenue is included in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Legal Contingencies

When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We may, from time to time, receive claims that we are infringing third parties’ intellectual property rights, including claims for alleged patent infringement brought by non-practicing entities. We are currently involved in patent litigation brought by non-practicing entities and other third parties. We believe we have strong arguments that our products do not infringe and/or the asserted patents are invalid, and we intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ claims. However, there is no guarantee that we will prevail at trial and if a jury were to find that our products infringe, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages, and may cause product shipment delays or stoppages, require us to redesign our products, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.

24

Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include significant monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and overall trends. No material accrual has been recorded as of October 25, 2024 related to such matters.

These solutions and services are generally available on the leading public clouds, including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

Stock Repurchase and Dividend Activity

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we repurchased approximately 5.8 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $121.58 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $700 million. We also declared aggregate cash dividends of $1.04 per share in that period, for which we paid $213 million.

Restructuring Events

In the first six months of fiscal 2025, we approved restructuring plans to redirect resources to highest return activities and reduce costs. Aggregate charges recorded from the restructuring plans during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 totaled $12 million and $29 million, respectively.

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is reported as a 52- or 53-week year that ends on the last Friday in April. Fiscal years 2025 and 2024, ending on April 25, 2025 and April 26, 2024, respectively, are each 52-week years, with 13 weeks in each of their quarters. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters, months and periods refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in April and the associated quarters, months and periods of those fiscal years.

Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Revenues (in millions, except percentages):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |  |  | % Change |  |  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |  |  | % Change |

The increase in net revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2024 was due to an increase in product revenues and, to a lesser extent, an increase in services revenues. Product revenues as a percentage of net revenues increased by one percentage point and two percentage points, respectively, in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2024.

Hybrid Cloud

In prior periods, we presented the hardware and software components of our GAAP product revenues to illustrate the significance and value of the Company’s software. Because our revenue recognition policy under GAAP defines a configured storage system, inclusive of the operating system software essential to its functionality, as a single performance obligation, hardware and software components of our product revenues are considered non-GAAP measures. Effective in fiscal 2025, we are no longer presenting the non-GAAP hardware and software components of our product revenues, as management no longer considers them to be key financial measures. The Company’s current strategy is expected to deliver investor value through growth in total revenues, including product revenues, while maintaining operational discipline to drive earnings leverage. While software continues to be the primary value driver of our products, NetApp is primarily focused on driving growth in total product revenues, through the sale of configured storage systems comprised of both hardware and software, with less focus on the pricing of each component. Additionally, the Company is considering potential opportunities to simplify pricing for certain products in the future, which may eliminate the existence of separate prices for hardware and software components and/or impact our ability to allocate between them.

28

Product revenues are derived through the sale of our Hybrid Cloud solutions and consist of sales of configured all-flash array systems (including All-Flash FAS A-Series and All-Flash FAS C-Series with capacity flash) and hybrid systems, which are bundled hardware and software products, as well as add-on flash, disk and/or hybrid storage and related OS, StorageGrid, OEM products, NetApp HCI and add-on optional software.

Total product revenues increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year due to higher sales of C-Series all-flash array systems.

Services Revenues (in millions, except percentages):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |  |  | % Change |  |  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | October 27, 2023 |  |  | % Change |

Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid Cloud services revenues are derived from the sale of: (1) support, which includes both hardware and software support contracts (the latter of which entitle customers to receive unspecified product upgrades and enhancements, bug fixes and patch releases), and (2) professional and other services, which include customer education and training.

Support revenues increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year as a result of a higher aggregate support contract value for our installed base.

Professional and other services revenues increased by $8 million and $13 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Public Cloud

Public Cloud revenues are derived from the sale of public cloud offerings delivered primarily as-a-service, which include cloud storage and CloudOps services.

Public Cloud revenues increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, due to higher customer demand, driven by NetApp’s diversified cloud offerings and an overall growth in the cloud market.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues consists of:

(1) cost of product revenues, composed of (a) cost of Hybrid Cloud product revenues, which includes the costs of manufacturing and shipping our products, inventory write-downs, and warranty costs, and (b) unallocated cost of product revenues, which includes stock-based compensation, and;

(2) cost of services revenues, composed of (a) cost of support revenues, which includes the costs of providing support activities for hardware and software support, global support partnership programs, and third party royalty costs, (b) cost of professional and other services revenues, (c) cost of public cloud revenues, constituting the cost of providing our Public Cloud offerings, which includes depreciation and amortization expense and third party datacenter fees, and (d) unallocated cost of services revenues, which includes stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended October 27, 2023 included a benefit for increased fiscal 2023 foreign tax credits resulting from legislative guidance for those periods partially offset by an increase in stock compensation for which no tax benefit is recorded.

As of October 25, 2024, we had $223 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Inclusive of penalties, interest and certain income tax benefits, $162 million would affect our provision for income taxes if recognized. Net unrecognized tax benefits of $161 million have been recorded in other long-term liabilities.

Cash Flows

As of October 25, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $2.2 billion, which represents a decrease of $1.0 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to $700 million used for the repurchase of our common stock, a $400 million principal repayment of our 3.30% Senior Notes due September 2024, $213 million used for the payment of dividends, $132 million used for payment of taxes related to net share settlement of stock awards and $86 million used for purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $446 million provided by operating activities. Our net working capital deficit was $378 million as of October 25, 2024, a reduction of $1.2 billion when compared to April 26, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments discussed above and the reclassification of $750 million principal amount of our Senior Notes from long-term to current liabilities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we generated cash from operating activities of $446 million, reflecting net income of $547 million which was adjusted for non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $126 million and non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $188 million, compared to $588 million of cash generated from operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2024.

Significant changes in assets and liabilities in the first six months of fiscal 2025 included the following:

•
Accounts receivable decreased $138 million, reflecting lower billings in the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the last six months of fiscal 2024.
•
Inventory increased by $132 million, primarily due to higher raw materials purchases.
•
Deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue decreased by $164 million, due to a decrease in deferred revenue for software and hardware support contracts.

We expect that cash provided by operating activities may materially fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including fluctuations in our operating results, shipping linearity, accounts receivable collections performance, inventory and supply chain management, vendor payment initiatives, and the timing and amount of compensation, income taxes and other payments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we generated $597 million from maturities and sales of investments, net of purchases and paid $86 million for capital expenditures, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024, in which we generated $72 million from maturities and sales of investments, net of purchases, and paid $73 million for capital expenditures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, cash flows used in financing activities totaled $1.4 billion and included $700 million for the repurchase of approximately 6 million shares of common stock, $400 million principal repayment upon maturity of our 3.30% Senior Notes due in September 2024 and $213 million for the payment of dividends. During the first six months of fiscal 2024, cash flows used in financing activities totaled $942 million and included $700 million for the repurchase of approximately 9 million shares of common stock and $209 million for the payment of dividends.

33

Key factors that could affect our cash flows include changes in our revenue mix and profitability, our ability to effectively manage our working capital, in particular, accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories, the timing and amount of stock repurchases and payment of cash dividends, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, our ability to effectively integrate acquired products, businesses and technologies and the timing of repayments of our debt. Based on past performance and our current business outlook, we believe that our sources of liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and our ability to access capital markets and committed credit lines will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, investment requirements, stock repurchases, cash dividends, contractual obligations, commitments, principal and interest payments on our debt and other liquidity requirements associated with operations and meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. However, in the event our liquidity is insufficient, we may be required to curtail spending and implement additional cost saving measures and restructuring actions or enter into new financing arrangements. We cannot be certain that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to obtain additional financing, if necessary, on satisfactory terms, if at all. For further discussion of factors that could affect our cash flows and liquidity requirements, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity as of October 25, 2024 consisted of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, cash we expect to generate from operations, and our commercial paper program and related credit facility.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted of the following (in millions):

|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | April 26, 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,478 |  |  | $ | 1,903 |
Short-term investments |  |  | 744 |  |  |  | 1,349 |
Total |  | $ | 2,222 |  |  | $ | 3,252 |

As of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024, $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were held by various foreign subsidiaries and were generally based in U.S. dollar-denominated holdings, while $0.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, were available in the U.S.

Our principal liquidity requirements are primarily to meet our working capital needs, support ongoing business activities, fund research and development, meet capital expenditure needs, invest in critical or complementary technologies through asset purchases and/or business acquisitions, service interest and principal payments on our debt, fund our stock repurchase program, and pay dividends, as and if declared. In the ordinary course of business, we engage in periodic reviews of opportunities to invest in or acquire companies or units in companies to expand our total addressable market, leverage technological synergies and establish new streams of revenue, particularly in our Public Cloud segment.

The principal objectives of our investment policy are the preservation of principal and maintenance of liquidity. We attempt to mitigate default risk by investing in high-quality investment grade securities, limiting the time to maturity and monitoring the counter-parties and underlying obligors closely. We believe our cash equivalents and short-term investments are liquid and accessible. We are not aware of any significant deterioration in the fair value of our cash equivalents or investments from the values reported as of October 25, 2024.

Our investment portfolio has been and will continue to be exposed to market risk due to trends in the credit and capital markets. We continue to closely monitor current economic and market events to minimize the market risk of our investment portfolio. We routinely monitor our financial exposure to both sovereign and non-sovereign borrowers and counterparties. We utilize a variety of planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure our worldwide cash is available when and where it is needed. We also have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We may in the future offer an additional unspecified amount of debt, equity and other securities.

Senior Notes

The following table summarizes the principal amount of our Senior Notes as of October 25, 2024 (in millions):

|  | Amount |
1.875% Senior Notes Due June 2025 |  | $ | 750 |
2.375% Senior Notes Due June 2027 |  |  | 550 |
2.70% Senior Notes Due June 2030 |  |  | 700 |
Total |  | $ | 2,000 |

34

Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually. For further information on the underlying terms, see Note 6 – Financing Arrangements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

On September 30, 2024, upon maturity, we repaid our 3.30% Senior Notes due September 2024 for an aggregate amount of $407 million, comprised of the principal and unpaid interest.

Commercial Paper Program and Credit Facility

We have a commercial paper program (the “Program”), under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $1.0 billion. The maturities of the notes can vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear interest at rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. No commercial paper notes were outstanding as of October 25, 2024.

In connection with the Program, we have a senior unsecured credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders. The credit agreement, which was amended in May 2023, provides for a $1.0 billion revolving unsecured credit facility, with a sublimit of $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit on our behalf. The credit facility matures on January 22, 2026, with an option for us to extend the maturity date for two additional 1-year periods, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used by us for general corporate purposes and as liquidity support for our existing commercial paper program. As of October 25, 2024, we were compliant with all associated covenants in the agreement. No amounts were drawn against this credit facility during any of the periods presented.

Capital Expenditure Requirements

We expect to fund our capital expenditures, including our commitments related to facilities, equipment, operating leases and internal-use software development projects over the next few years through existing cash, cash equivalents, investments and cash generated from operations. The timing and amount of our capital requirements cannot be precisely determined and will depend on a number of factors, including future demand for products, changes in the network storage industry, hiring plans and our decisions related to the financing of our facilities and equipment requirements. We anticipate capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2025 to be between $50 million and $100 million.

Transition Tax Payments

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 imposed a mandatory, one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and profits that had not previously been subject to U.S. income tax. As of October 25, 2024, the outstanding payment related to the transition tax is estimated to be approximately $100 million which is expected to be paid during fiscal 2026. Our estimates for future transition tax payments, however, could change with further guidance or review from U.S. federal and state tax authorities or other regulatory bodies.

Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program

On November 19, 2024, we declared a cash dividend of $0.52 per share of common stock, payable on January 22, 2025, to holders of record as of the close of business on January 3, 2025.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $1.0 billion of our common stock. As of October 25, 2024, our Board of Directors had authorized cumulative repurchases of up to $17.1 billion of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. Under this program, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by our management. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Since the May 13, 2003 inception of this program through October 25, 2024, we repurchased a total of 377 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $43.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $16.3 billion. As of October 25, 2024, the remaining authorized amount for stock repurchases under this program was $0.8 billion.

Purchase Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to third-party contract manufacturers and component suppliers to manage manufacturer lead times and meet product forecasts, and to other parties, to purchase various key components used in the manufacture of our products. In addition, we have open purchase orders and contractual obligations associated with our ordinary course of business for which we have not yet received goods or services. These off-balance sheet purchase commitments totaled approximately $0.9 billion at October 25, 2024.

35

These arrangements and related financing guarantees are described in Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The phrase “disclosure controls and procedures” refers to controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of October 25, 2024, the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
