Western Digital sees Q2 revenue at midpoint, EPS at low end; CFO to leave

Negative Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Western Digital said preliminary second-quarter revenue is expected at the midpoint of its $4.20 billion to $4.40 billion guidance, while non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected at the low end of its $1.75 to $2.05 range, citing a more challenging pricing environment in its flash business. Executive Vice President and CFO Wissam Jabre will resign effective February 28, 2025, when the company expects to complete the separation of its flash business, and the company has started a search for the hard disk drive business CFO role.

Key points

  • Q2 revenue (quarter ended December 27, 2024) is expected at the midpoint of the $4.20 billion to $4.40 billion guidance issued October 24, 2024.
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected at the lower end of the $1.75 to $2.05 guidance range, due to a more challenging pricing environment in the flash business.
  • The figures are preliminary and may change after financial closing procedures and auditor review; a GAAP reconciliation was not provided.
  • CFO Wissam Jabre notified the company on January 10, 2025 that he will not continue as CFO of the hard disk drive business; he resigns effective February 28, 2025.
