- NetApp estimates revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 to be in the range of $1.240 billion to $1.290 billion, which equates to approximately 3% to 7% sequential revenue growth and approximately 23% to 28% year over year revenue growth.
- NetApp estimates that third quarter fiscal year 2011 GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.39 to $0.41 per share. NetApp estimates that the third quarter fiscal year 2011 non-GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.48 to $0.50 per share.
- NetApp estimates share count for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 will increase to approximately 408 million shares, including an estimated 16.9 million shares from the Company's outstanding convertible notes(3) and 9.9 million shares from outstanding warrants. Share count does not include the Company's outstanding note hedges that are expected to offset 80% of the dilution from the convertible notes at maturity or conversion, which would equate to an offset of approximately 13.5 million shares if the conversion or maturity occurred in the third quarter.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, NetApp introduced new solutions and expanded support and integration with key partners such as VMware to help customers accelerate their move to a more integrated, efficient, and flexible shared IT infrastructure. In addition, NetApp achieved several milestones and was honored as a best place to work and one of the most trusted and strategic IT vendors in the industry. Key business highlights included the following: NetApp and Partners Deliver Flexible and Efficient IT
- NetApp and VMware® improve IT efficiency. NetApp made several
announcements with VMware to enable customers to achieve greater efficiency
in their virtual environments. NetApp integrated its unified storage
technologies with VMware® View™ to help customers enhance storage
efficiency and virtual desktop scalability, as well as improve performance
levels. NetApp also announced support for VMware vCloud™ Director

customers and service providers to easily and cost-effectively evolve to a
cloud service model. In addition, NetApp and VMware unveiled a new solution
for midsize enterprises to consolidate and virtualize their Windows®

Symantec™ Thin Reclamation API to help SAN customers automatically
reclaim storage space and improve overall storage efficiency. Customers can
improve planning and reduce their overall IT footprint and management
costs.
- NetApp helps EMC and HP customers achieve greater efficiency.
NetApp introduced its Zero Investment Promise (ZIP) for Database Promotion

their database environments. The promotion enables EMC and HP customers to
reduce storage requirements, improve utilization, and decrease operating
costs by engaging in a 90-day, risk-free, zero-investment trial of NetApp
V-Series for their database storage infrastructures.
- NetApp customers deploy thousands of systems with Data ONTAP®
8. To help transition to a shared IT infrastructure, customers
accelerated their adoption of NetApp Data ONTAP 8 by deploying thousands of
systems to build flexible, scalable, and efficient shared storage
environments that are designed to address today's business challenges and
the future requirements of their businesses.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, customer demand for our products and services including our recently announced new product introductions; our ability to increase revenue and manage our operating costs; increased competition risks associated with the anticipated growth in networked storage market; general economic and market conditions; our ability to deliver new product architectures and enterprise service offerings; our ability to design products and services that compete effectively from a price and performance perspective; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products; and other important factors as described in NetApp reports and documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the factors described under the sections captioned "Risk Factors" in our most recently submitted 10-K and 10-Q.

(4) Gartner, Inc. Magic Quadrant for Storage Resource Management and SAN Management Software, Valdis Filks, Robert E. Passmore, September 21, 2010. NetApp Usage of Non-GAAP Financials
The Company refers to the non-GAAP financial measures cited above in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operational performance. Non-GAAP net income excludes the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition related income and expenses, restructuring and other charges, asset impairments, non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible debt, net losses or gains on investments, and our GAAP tax provision, but includes a non-GAAP tax provision based upon our projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate for the first three quarters of the fiscal year and an actual non-GAAP tax provision for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. We have excluded these items in order to enhance investors' understanding of our ongoing operations. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations because they should not be used to evaluate our company without reference to their corresponding GAAP financial measures. As such, we compensate for these material limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used to: (1) measure company performance against historical results, (2) facilitate comparisons to our competitors' operating results, and (3) allow greater transparency with respect to information used by management in financial and operational decision making. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used to measure company performance for the purposes of determining employee incentive plan compensation. We have historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to our investors and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting at this time.
