During the fiscal third quarter, the Company generated $1.1 billion in cash flow from operations and $953 million in free cash flow. Seagate’s balance sheet remains healthy, and during the fiscal third quarter, the Company retired approximately $641 million in debt and returned $191 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. As of the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.1 billion, and there were 224 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Seagate has issued a Supplemental Financial Information document, which is available on Seagate’s Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.74 per share, which will be payable on July 7, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 24, 2026. The payment of any future quarterly dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent upon Seagate’s financial position, results of operations, available cash, cash flow, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
Business Outlook
The business outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter 2026 is based on our current assumptions and expectations; actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, the important factors discussed in the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section of this release.
The Company is providing the following guidance for its fiscal fourth quarter 2026:
Revenue of $3.45 billion, plus or minus $100 million
Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $5.00, plus or minus $0.20
Our fiscal fourth quarter guidance includes:
The estimated net dilutive impact from the Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028; and
Minimal expected impact from global tariff policies and/or the current conflict in the Middle East as of the date of this release.
Guidance regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known pre-tax charges related to estimated share-based compensation expenses of $0.23 per share.
We have not reconciled our non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal fourth quarter 2026 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, other than estimated share-based compensation expenses, because material items that may impact these measures are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, including, but not limited to, net (gain) loss from debt transactions, strategic investment losses (gains) or impairment charges, income tax adjustments on these measures, and other charges or benefits that may arise. The amounts of these measures are not currently available but may be material to future results. A reconciliation of our historical non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalent is contained in this release.
Investor Communications
Seagate management will hold a public webcast at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET on April 28, 2026 that can be accessed on its Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com.
An archived audio webcast of this event will be available on Seagate’s Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com shortly following the event conclusion.

Use of non-GAAP financial information
The Company uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, operating margin, net income, diluted EPS, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and last twelve months adjusted EBITDA, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain benefits, expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate the business and provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes non-GAAP results provide useful information to investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain benefits, expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not part of the Company's ongoing operations and not indicative of its core operating results.
These non-GAAP financial measures are some of the measurements management uses to assess the Company’s performance, allocate resources and plan for future periods. Reported non-GAAP results should only be considered as supplemental to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and not considered as a substitute or replacement for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures reported by other companies in its industry.

1 The Company recorded $20 million of restructuring charges in the three months ended March 28, 2025, of which $10 million was recorded to Cost of revenue and $10 million was recorded to Restructuring and other, net, within Operating expenses.
2 For the three and nine months ended April 3, 2026, and the three and nine months ended March 28, 2025, using the if-converted method, approximately 4 million, 7 million, 2 million and 4 million shares, respectively, are issuable upon conversion of our 2028 exchangeable senior notes. These dilutive effects are expected to be offset partially by the capped call transactions and are excluded from non-GAAP shares used in diluted net income per share calculation.
The Company’s Non-GAAP measures are adjusted for the following items:
Acquisition-related charges
Acquisition-related charges are primarily related to transaction and integration costs. These expenses are excluded in the non-GAAP measures due to the inconsistency in amount and frequency, and they are not normal operating expenses or indicative of the Company's operating performance. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance to investors to enable them to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets
The Company records expense from amortization of intangible assets that were acquired in connection with its business combinations over their estimated useful lives. Such charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of the Company’s acquisitions. Consequently, the Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Legal settlement
From time to time, the Company incurs charges related to the settlement of litigation matters. These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP measures to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Net gain/loss from business divestiture
From time to time, the Company records net gains or losses from the sale of businesses. These net gains are excluded in the non-GAAP measures because they are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. The Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Net gain/loss from debt transactions
From time to time, the Company incurs gains, losses and fees from the early redemption and repurchase of certain long-term debt instruments. The amount of these charges may be inconsistent in size and varies depending on the timing of the early redemption of debt. The Company does not believe these are part of its normal operating performance. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance to investors to enable them to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Purchase order cancellation fees
Purchase order cancellation fees are the costs incurred to cancel certain purchase commitments made with the Company's suppliers for component and equipment purchases that will not be received due to change in forecasted demand. These charges and subsequent credits received are inconsistent in amount and frequency. The Company does not believe these are part of its normal operating expenses. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.

Restructuring and other, net are costs associated with restructuring plans that are primarily related to costs associated with reduction in the Company’s workforce, exiting certain facilities, inventory write down related to discontinued product lines and other related costs, as well as charges or gains from sale of properties. These costs or benefits do not reflect the Company’s normal or ongoing operating performance and consequently the Company excludes these expenses to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.
Share-based compensation
These expenses consist primarily of expenses for employee share-based compensation. Given the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining share-based compensation expense, the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations, and the volatility in valuations that can be driven by market conditions outside the Company’s control, the Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense enhances the ability of management and investors to understand and assess the underlying performance of its business over time and compare it against the Company’s peers, a majority of whom also exclude share-based compensation expense from their non-GAAP results.
Strategic investment gains, losses and impairment charges
From time to time, the Company incurs gains, losses or impairment charges from strategic investments that are measured and accounted at fair value, under the equity method of accounting, as available-for-sale debt securities or adjust for downward or upward adjustments to the carrying value under the measurement alternative if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period that are not considered normal operating expenses or gains. The resulting expense, gain or impairment loss is inconsistent in amount and frequency, and the Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.
Other charges
The other charges primarily include IT transformation costs. These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are excluded to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to past periods’ operating performance.
Income tax adjustments
Seagate utilizes a projected annual non-GAAP income tax rate to determine its non-GAAP income taxes. The annual non-GAAP tax rate is based on considerations such as its current tax structure, projected tax positions and impacts from key legislation implemented in various jurisdictions but excludes the tax effects of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments and other significant non-recurring income tax items. The Company believes applying the non-GAAP tax rate provides consistency across the interim reporting periods and reduces the effects of items not directly related to its operating structure that can vary in size and frequency. The non-GAAP income tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including significant changes in tax laws. The Company will re-evaluate periodically its non-GAAP tax rate and may adjust as appropriate. For fiscal year 2026, the Company uses a projected non-GAAP income tax rate of 15.5%.
Non-GAAP diluted share count adjustments
Using the if-converted method, diluted net income per share is calculated assuming that the excess value above the principal of the 2028 exchangeable notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. Non-GAAP shares used in diluted net income per share calculation excluded certain dilutive shares, which are expected to be offset partially by the capped call transactions entered by the Company in conjunction with our 2028 exchangeable senior notes in order to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s ordinary shares upon the conversion.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities less acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements. Free cash flow does not reflect non-cash items, net cash used or provided by financing activities and net cash used or provided by investing activities, other than acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements. This non-GAAP financial measure is used by management to assess the Company's sources of liquidity, capital structure and operating performance.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and last twelve months (LTM) adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income before income tax expense, interest expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. These adjustments primarily include impairment and other charges related to cost saving efforts, net loss (gain) from debt transactions, net loss (gain) from business divestiture, purchase order cancellation fees, restructuring and other, net, share-based compensation, strategic investment losses or impairment charges, other extraordinary charges such as factory underutilization charges. LTM adjusted EBITDA is defined as the total of last twelve months adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate the Company’s debt portfolio and structure to comply with its financial debt covenants.

Seagate Delivers Industry’s Highest Capacity Hard Drives with Next-Generation Mozaic™ 4+March 3, 2026 2:45 PM
Business Wire
Industry’s only HAMR-based platform supports economic viability of AI-scale data growth
As technology innovation accelerates both data creation and value, the need for scalable, efficient, high-performance storage solutions has never been greater. Today, Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) announced its next-generation Mozaic™ 4+ platform, the industry’s only heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR)–based storage platform deployed at-scale, is now qualified and in production with two leading hyperscale cloud providers. Supporting capacities up to 44TB, these qualifications reflect production-scale deployments in hyperscale environments.
With additional customer qualifications under way, Seagate is delivering on its roadmap to scale from today’s 4+TB per-disk toward a future 10TB per-disk – enabling hard drive capacities of up to 100TB. The platform incorporates a next-generation suspension architecture and an enhanced system-on-a-chip that enables precise recording at higher densities while maintaining enterprise-class reliability. Each platform generation allows continued gains in capacity without requiring disruptive architectural shifts.
"Data has become one of the most valuable assets for enterprises, fueling business insights, enhancing productivity, and enabling competitive advantage. As the foundation of modern data center infrastructure, data storage solutions are essential to manage ever-increasing data volumes and maximize returns on investments in today’s AI driven-world," said Dave Mosley, Seagate’s chair and chief executive officer. "Seagate’s HAMR-based Mozaic products deliver the scale, performance, and efficiency customers need to unlock the full potential of their data."
With a majority of the world’s largest cloud storage providers already qualified on Seagate’s Mozaic platform, this milestone underscores the platform’s critical role in data center infrastructure.
Production-Scale HAMR with Vertically Integrated Photonics
Seagate’s custom-designed and manufactured laser technology reflects years of investment in nanophotonic engineering of critical components used in HAMR recording. This vertically integrated, in-house innovation strengthens both design and control over yield, reliability and supply chain resilience, all of which are essential as unprecedented growth in data pushes storage demand beyond historical levels. Vertical integration also shortens qualification timelines and supports predictable manufacturing economics.
How Mozaic 4+ Addresses Data Center Infrastructure Challenges
Artificial intelligence depends on the ability to retain and access massive volumes of training data, historical archives and AI-generated content – including increasingly large video and other multimodal outputs. Hyperscalers rely on mass-capacity hard drives to economically store, manage and reactivate the exponentially growing data pools that enable trustworthy AI workloads.
The incremental increases in per-disk capacity delivered by Mozaic 4+ enable high-capacity, cost-efficient storage that scales without increasing infrastructure footprint or energy consumption – strengthening the economic foundation of AI at scale. The platform advances capacity per-rack and per-watt, improving data center efficiency, lowering total cost of ownership and enabling organizations to preserve and reactivate data over time, sustainably.
1 In a one-exabyte deployment, Mozaic improves infrastructure efficiency by approximately 47 percent compared to standard 30TB deployments, reducing required data center footprint by about 100 square feet and lowering annual energy consumption by roughly 0.8 million kilowatt-hours. At AI scale, these efficiencies compound into meaningful economic advantage.
“As AI models have evolved and GenAI-powered applications have expanded their capabilities and reach, it’s become abundantly clear that the need for massive amounts of data—both real and synthetically generated—are essential to keep AI advancements moving ahead,” said Bob O’Donnell, President of TECHnalysis Research. “Whether for large-scale model training or sophisticated fine-tuning, companies who build and use these AI models have found that high-capacity hard drive innovations like HAMR have become critical to quality and speed of their outputs.”
Availability
Seagate’s Mozaic™ 4+ hard drives supporting capacities up to 44TB are now shipping in volume to two leading hyperscale cloud providers. Broader availability is planned as production continues to scale.

During the fiscal second quarter, the Company generated $723 million in cash flow from operations and $607 million in free cash flow. Seagate’s balance sheet remains healthy, and during the fiscal second quarter, the Company retired $500 million Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028 and paid cash dividends of $154 million. As of the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.0 billion, and there were 218 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Seagate has issued a Supplemental Financial Information document, which is available on Seagate’s Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.74 per share, which will be payable on April 8, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 25, 2026. The payment of any future quarterly dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent upon Seagate’s financial position, results of operations, available cash, cash flow, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
Business Outlook
The business outlook for the fiscal third quarter 2026 is based on our current assumptions and expectations; actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, the important factors discussed in the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section of this release.
The Company is providing the following guidance for its fiscal third quarter 2026:
Revenue of $2.90 billion, plus or minus $100 million
Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.40, plus or minus $0.20
Our fiscal third quarter guidance includes:
The estimated net dilutive impact from the Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028; and
Minimal expected impact from global tariff policies announced as of the date of this release.
Guidance regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known pre-tax charges related to estimated share-based compensation expenses of $0.23 per share.
We have not reconciled our non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal third quarter 2026 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, other than estimated share-based compensation expenses, because material items that may impact these measures are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, including, but not limited to, net (gain) loss from debt transactions, strategic investment losses (gains) or impairment charges, income tax adjustments on these measures, and other charges or benefits that may arise. The amounts of these measures are not currently available but may be material to future results. A reconciliation of our historical non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalent is contained in this release.
Investor Communications
Seagate management will hold a public webcast at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET on January 27, 2026 that can be accessed on its Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com.
An archived audio webcast of this event will be available on Seagate’s Investor Relations website at investors.seagate.com shortly following the event conclusion.

Use of non-GAAP financial information
The Company uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, operating margin, net income, diluted EPS, free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and last twelve months adjusted EBITDA, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain benefits, expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate the business and provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes non-GAAP results provide useful information to investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain benefits, expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not part of the Company's ongoing operations and not indicative of its core operating results.
These non-GAAP financial measures are some of the measurements management uses to assess the Company’s performance, allocate resources and plan for future periods. Reported non-GAAP results should only be considered as supplemental to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and not considered as a substitute or replacement for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures reported by other companies in its industry.

The Company’s Non-GAAP measures are adjusted for the following items:
Acquisition-related charges
Acquisition-related charges are primarily related to transaction and integration costs. These expenses are excluded in the non-GAAP measures due to the inconsistency in amount and frequency, and they are not normal operating expenses or indicative of the Company's operating performance. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance to investors to enable them to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets
The Company records expense from amortization of intangible assets that were acquired in connection with its business combinations over their estimated useful lives. Such charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of the Company’s acquisitions. Consequently, the Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Net gain from business divestiture
From time to time, the Company records net gains from the sale of businesses. These net gains are excluded in the non-GAAP measures because they are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. The Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Net gain/loss from debt transactions
From time to time, the Company incurs gains, losses and fees from the early redemption and repurchase of certain long-term debt instruments and termination of related interest rate swap agreements. The amount of these charges may be inconsistent in size and varies depending on the timing of the early redemption of debt and/or termination of interest rate swap. The Company does not believe these are part of its normal operating performance. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance to investors to enable them to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods' operating performance.
Purchase order cancellation fees
Purchase order cancellation fees are the costs incurred to cancel certain purchase commitments made with the Company's suppliers for component and equipment purchases that will not be received due to change in forecasted demand. These charges and subsequent credits received are inconsistent in amount and frequency. The Company does not believe these are part of its normal operating expenses. Exclusion of these amounts provides a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.
Restructuring and other, net
Restructuring and other, net are costs associated with restructuring plans that are primarily related to costs associated with reduction in the Company’s workforce, exiting certain facilities, inventory write down related to discontinued product lines and other related costs, as well as charges or gains from sale of properties. These costs or benefits do not reflect the Company’s normal or ongoing operating performance and consequently the Company excludes these expenses to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.
Share-based compensation
These expenses consist primarily of expenses for employee share-based compensation. Given the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining share-based compensation expense, the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations, and the volatility in valuations that can be driven by market conditions outside the Company’s control, the Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense enhances the ability of management and investors to understand and assess the underlying performance of its business over time and compare it against the Company’s peers, a majority of whom also exclude share-based compensation expense from their non-GAAP results.
Strategic investment gains, losses and impairment charges
From time to time, the Company incurs gains, losses or impairment charges from strategic investments that are measured and accounted at fair value, under the equity method of accounting, as available-for-sale debt securities or adjust for downward or upward adjustments to the carrying value under the measurement alternative if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period that are not considered normal operating expenses or gains. The resulting expense, gain or impairment loss is inconsistent in amount and frequency and the Company excludes these amounts to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to the past periods’ operating performance.
Other charges
The other charges primarily include IT transformation costs. These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are excluded to provide a supplemental view to investors to evaluate the Company's current operating performance compared to past periods’ operating performance.
Income tax adjustments
Seagate utilizes a projected annual non-GAAP income tax rate to determine its non-GAAP income taxes. The annual non-GAAP tax rate is based on considerations such as its current tax structure, projected tax positions and impacts from key legislation implemented in various jurisdictions but excludes the tax effects of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments and other significant non-recurring income tax items. The Company believes applying the non-GAAP tax rate provides consistency across the interim reporting periods and reduces the effects of items not directly related to its operating structure that can vary in size and frequency. The non-GAAP income tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including significant changes in tax laws. The Company will re-evaluate periodically its non-GAAP tax rate and may adjust as appropriate. For fiscal year 2026, the Company uses a projected non-GAAP income tax rate of 15.5%.
Non-GAAP diluted share count adjustments
Using the if-converted method, diluted net income per share is calculated assuming that the excess value above the principal of the 2028 exchangeable notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. Non-GAAP shares used in diluted net income per share calculation excluded certain dilutive shares, which are expected to be offset partially or in full by the capped call transactions entered by the Company in conjunction with our 2028 exchangeable senior notes in order to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s ordinary shares upon the conversion.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities less acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements. Free cash flow does not reflect non-cash items, net cash used or provided by financing activities and net cash used or provided by investing activities, other than acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements. This non-GAAP financial measure is used by management to assess the Company's sources of liquidity, capital structure and operating performance.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and last twelve months (LTM) adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. These adjustments primarily include impairment and other charges related to cost saving efforts, net loss (gain) from debt transactions, net gain from termination of interest rate swap, net gain from business divestiture, purchase order cancellation fees, restructuring and other, net, share-based compensation, strategic investment losses or impairment charges, other extraordinary charges such as factory underutilization charges. LTM adjusted EBITDA is defined as the total of last twelve months adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate the Company’s debt portfolio and structure to comply with its financial debt covenants.
