Singapore – October 28, 2026 - Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX) (the “Company” or “Seagate”), a leading innovator of mass-capacity data storage, today reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended October 2, 2026.

“Seagate delivered another quarter of record profitability and our highest ever free cash flow in the September quarter, demonstrating the earnings power of our business amid a strengthening demand environment,” said Dave Mosley, Seagate's chair and chief executive officer.

“Data creation, retention and reuse continue to compound storage demand with long term customer demand visibility reinforcing our view of a multi-year growth phase. Our HAMR-based technology roadmap enables us to address growing exabyte demand through areal density gains while maintaining supply discipline. Combined with our value-based pricing strategy and strengthened balance sheet, we believe Seagate can deliver profitable growth, strong cash generation and increased shareholder returns over the long term,” Mosley concluded.

For a detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results, see accompanying financial tables.

During the fiscal first quarter, the Company generated $1.7 billion in cash flow from operations and $1.5 billion in free cash flow. Seagate’s balance sheet strengthened as the Company retired approximately $1.2 billion in principal debt in the fiscal first quarter, lowering gross debt to $2.4 billion. Additionally, the Company returned $568 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. As of the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.3 billion, and there were 230 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Subsequent to the end of the fiscal first quarter, the Company retired an additional $750 million of principal debt, bringing gross debt to $1.6 billion.

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 $0.76 per share, which will be payable on January 7, 2027 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 23, 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 second quarter of 2027 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 second quarter 2027:

•Revenue of $4.8 billion, plus or minus $100 million

•Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $9.20, plus or minus $0.20

Guidance regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known pre-tax charges related to estimated share-based compensation expenses of $0.30 per share.

We have not reconciled our non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal second quarter 2027 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 today at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET 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.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA $ 2,217 $ 1,684 $ 1,231 $ 962 $ 6,094

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. Excluding these amounts provides investors with a supplemental view to evaluate the Company’s operating performance across periods.

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 investors with a supplemental view of the Company’s operating performance across periods.

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 investors with a supplemental view of the Company’s operating performance across periods.

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 or losses 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 investors with a supplemental view of the Company’s operating performance across periods.

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. Excluding these amounts provides investors with a supplemental view to evaluate the Company’s operating performance across periods.

Restructuring and other, net

Restructuring and other, net are costs associated with restructuring plans that are primarily related to 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 amounts to provide investors with a supplemental view of the Company’s operating performance across periods.

Share-based compensation related charges

Share-based compensation related charges primarily consist of costs related to restricted stock, performance share units, stock options and employee stock purchases, and their associated employer payroll taxes. The Company excludes these amounts from its non-GAAP measures because they can fluctuate based on factors unrelated to underlying operating performance, such as the Company’s stock price, award vesting schedule and the timing and size of stock option exercises. Excluding these amounts provides investors with a supplemental view to evaluate the Company’s operating performance across periods.

Strategic investment gains, losses and impairment charges

From time to time, the Company recognizes gains, losses or impairment charges from strategic investments, including fair value changes, equity method gains and losses, impairment charges, and adjustments resulting from observable price changes under the measurement alternative. These amounts may vary significantly in amount and frequency and are not considered indicative of the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company excludes these amounts to provide investors with a supplemental view of the Company’s operating performance across periods.

Other charges

Other charges primarily include IT transformation costs. These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are excluded to provide investors with a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance across periods.

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 2027, 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 net gain/loss from debt transactions, net gain/loss from business divestiture, restructuring and other, net, share-based compensation related charges, strategic investment gain/loss or impairment charge, and 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.
