    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 21 дек 2022 15:02:13   America/Chicago

    BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today announced results for its first quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended December 1, 2022.

    Fiscal Q1 2023 highlights

    • Revenue of $4.09 billion versus $6.64 billion for the prior quarter and $7.69 billion for the same period last year
    • GAAP net loss of $195 million, or $0.18 per diluted share
    • Non-GAAP net loss of $39 million, or $0.04 per diluted share
    • Operating cash flow of $943 million versus $3.78 billion for the prior quarter and $3.94 billion for the same period last year

    “Micron delivered fiscal first quarter revenue and EPS within guidance ranges despite challenging conditions during the quarter,” said Micron Technology President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “Micron’s strong technology, manufacturing and financial position put us on solid footing to navigate the near-term environment, and we are taking decisive actions to cut our supply and expenses. We expect improving customer inventories to enable higher revenue in the fiscal second half, and to deliver strong profitability once we get past this downturn.”

    The tables above reconcile GAAP to non-GAAP measures of gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), diluted shares, diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted free cash flow, and net cash. The non-GAAP adjustments above may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature, but are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities. We believe this non-GAAP information is helpful in understanding trends and in analyzing our operating results and earnings. We are providing this information to investors to assist in performing analysis of our operating results. When evaluating performance and making decisions on how to allocate our resources, management uses this non-GAAP information and believes investors should have access to similar data when making their investment decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures increase transparency by providing investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enabling enhanced comparison of our operating results between periods and with peer companies. The presentation of these adjusted amounts varies from amounts presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to amounts reported by other companies. Our management routinely excludes the following items in analyzing our operating results and understanding trends in our earnings:

    • Stock-based compensation;
    • Flow-through of business acquisition-related inventory adjustments;
    • Acquisition-related costs;
    • Employee severance;
    • Gains and losses from settlements;
    • Restructure and asset impairments;
    • Amortization of debt discount and other costs;
    • Gains and losses from debt repurchases and conversions;
    • Gains and losses from business acquisition activities; and
    • The estimated tax effects of above, non-cash changes in net deferred income taxes, assessments of tax exposures, certain tax matters related to prior fiscal periods, and significant changes in tax law.

    Non-GAAP diluted shares are adjusted for the impact of additional shares resulting from the exclusion of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP income (loss).

The timing and impact of such items are dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control.
