SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - May 25, 2011) - NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011, which ended April 29, 2011. Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 totaled $1.428 billion compared to revenues of $1.172 billion for the same period one year ago.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, GAAP net income was $160.6 million, or $0.40 per share(1) compared to GAAP net income of $145.1 million, or $0.40 per share for the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $236.7 million, or $0.59 per share(2), compared to non-GAAP net income of $183.1 million, or $0.50 per share for the same period a year ago.
Revenues for fiscal year 2011 totaled $5.123 billion compared to revenues of $3.931 billion for fiscal year 2010. GAAP net income for fiscal year 2011 was $673.1 million, or $1.71 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $400.4 million, or $1.13 per share for fiscal year 2010. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2011 totaled $865.7 million, or $2.20 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $533.0 million, or $1.51 per share for fiscal year 2010.
"NetApp delivered 30% revenue growth, 38% growth in cash from operations and over $1B in non-GAAP operating profit during fiscal 2011. We achieved the largest market share gains in our history and closed a record number of million dollar deals, demonstrating our momentum in the market as enterprise customers increasingly choose NetApp as their vendor of choice for storage virtualization and cloud deployments," said Tom Georgens, president and CEO. "Together with our partners we create unmatched IT efficiency and flexibility with innovative solutions that solve the biggest and hardest problems in accessing and protecting business-critical information."
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, NetApp adopted mandatory new accounting standards related to revenue recognition for transactions originating or materially modified in fiscal year 2011. We implemented these standards retrospectively to the beginning of fiscal year 2011; therefore the full year and previously reported quarterly results for fiscal 2011 have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of these new standards. An analysis of the impact of the new accounting standards can be found on page 3 of the Supplemental Commentary and the adjusted Statements of Operations for prior quarters can be found on page 14 of the Supplemental Commentary and on our website at investors.netapp.com.

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.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, NetApp adopted Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, and ASU No. 2009-14 related to
revenue recognition for transactions originating or materially modified in
fiscal year 2011. We implemented these standards retrospectively to the
beginning of fiscal year 2011; therefore the full year and previously
reported fiscal 2011 quarterly results have been adjusted to reflect the
adoption of these new standards.
