Summary
This 8-K/A filing from Fortinet, Inc. (FTNT) serves to correct a clerical error in the previously issued press release regarding its financial results and guidance. Specifically, the amendment rectifies the diluted non-GAAP net income per share guidance for the third quarter of 2024 and the full fiscal year 2024. Investors should note that this filing is an amendment to correct guidance, not a release of new financial results. The corrected guidance now indicates an expected diluted non-GAAP net income per share of $0.50 to $0.52 for Q3 2024 and $2.00 to $2.04 for the full fiscal year 2024. The company reiterates that its non-GAAP guidance excludes certain items like stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles, and a reconciliation to GAAP is not provided due to the unpredictable nature of these excluded items.
