SanDisk
Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK),
a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced results for
the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 28, 2014. Fourth
quarter revenue of $1.74 billion was slightly higher on a year-over-year
basis and decreased 1 percent sequentially. Total revenue for fiscal
2014 was a record $6.63 billion, a 7 percent increase from $6.17 billion
in fiscal 2013.
On a GAAP(1) basis, fourth quarter net income was $202
million, or $0.86 per share, compared to net income of $338 million, or
$1.45 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and $263 million,
or $1.09 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Net income for
fiscal 2014 was $1.01 billion, or $4.23 per share, compared to $1.04
billion, or $4.34 per share, in fiscal 2013.
On a non-GAAP(2)(3) basis, fourth quarter net income was
$294 million, or $1.30 per share, compared to net income of
$390 million, or $1.71 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013
and net income of $336 million, or $1.45 per share, in the third quarter
of fiscal 2014. Net income for fiscal 2014 was $1.29 billion, or $5.60
per share, compared to $1.27 billion, or $5.31 per share, in fiscal
2013. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results, see accompanying
financial tables and footnotes.
“We delivered record revenue in 2014 with continued progress in shifting
our portfolio towards high value solutions,” said Sanjay Mehrotra,
president and chief executive officer of SanDisk. “Our SSD solutions
reached 29 percent of revenue in 2014, with strong growth from both
client and enterprise SSDs. We are disappointed with our fourth quarter
results, which were impacted primarily by supply constraints. We believe
that NAND flash industry fundamentals are healthy, and we expect our
financial results to improve as we move through 2015.”

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures of operating results,
net income and net income per share, which are adjusted from results
based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These
non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's
overall understanding of our current financial performance and our
prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP
results provide useful information to both management and investors
as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses
that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and
because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates
published by many analysts who follow us. For example, because the
non-GAAP results exclude the expenses we recorded for share-based
compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets
related to acquisitions of Pliant Technology, Inc. in May 2011,
FlashSoft Corporation in February 2012, Schooner Information
Technology, Inc. in June 2012, SMART Storage Systems in August 2013
and Fusion-io, Inc. in July 2014, inventory step-up expense,
non-cash economic interest expense associated with the convertible
debt, non-cash change in fair value of the liability component of
the convertible debt due to the conversion of a portion of the 1.5%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and related tax adjustments, we
believe the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides
consistency in our financial reporting. In addition, our non-GAAP
diluted shares include the impact of the call options which, when
exercised, will offset the issuance of dilutive shares from the 1.5%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes
due 2020, while the GAAP diluted shares exclude the anti-dilutive
impact of these call options. These non-GAAP results are some of the
primary indicators management uses for assessing our performance,
allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods.
Further, management uses non-GAAP information that excludes certain
non-cash charges, such as share-based compensation, amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets, inventory step-up expense,
non-cash economic interest expense associated with the convertible
debt, non-cash change in fair value of the liability component of
the convertible debt due to the conversion of a portion of the 1.5%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and related tax adjustments, as
these non-GAAP charges do not reflect the cash operating results of
the business or the ongoing results. These measures should be
considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP,
but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP
results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP
measures used by other companies.
|
|
(a)
|
Share-based compensation expense.
|
|
(b)
|
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, primarily
developed technology, customer relationships, and trademarks and
trade names related to the acquisitions of Pliant Technology, Inc.,
FlashSoft Corporation, Schooner Information Technology, Inc., SMART
Storage Systems and Fusion-io, Inc.
|
|
(c)
|
Inventory step-up expense related to the acquisition of Fusion-io,
Inc.
|
|
(d)
|
Impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets and in-process
research and development related to the acquisitions of Schooner
Information Technology, Inc. and Pliant Technology, Inc.
|
|
(e)
|
Incremental interest expense related to the non-cash economic
interest expense associated with the 1% Convertible Senior Notes due
2013, 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and 0.5% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2020, and the non-cash change in fair value of the
liability component of the convertible debt due to the conversion of
a portion of the 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017.
|
|
(f)
|
Income taxes associated with certain non-GAAP to GAAP adjustments
and the effects of one-time income tax adjustments recorded in a
specific quarter for GAAP purposes are reflected on a forecast basis
in our non-GAAP tax rate but not in our forecasted GAAP tax rate.
|
|
(g)
|
Non-GAAP diluted shares include the impact of offsetting shares from
the call options related to the 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due
2017 and 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020, and the impact of
share-based compensation.

(1) The 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 are convertible
through March 31, 2015 as a result of the Company’s common stock
price exceeding the trigger price set forth in the indenture.
Accordingly, the carrying value of the notes is reported as
short-term debt as of December 28, 2014 and will remain so while the
notes are convertible. The Convertible short-term debt conversion
obligation represents the difference between the carrying value of
the convertible debt and the principal amount due in cash upon
conversion.
