This represents a significant decline from the same quarter last year, when the company posted a net income of $291 million. Revenue also saw a substantial decrease, falling to $2.6 billion from $3.3 billion year-over-year, primarily driven by lower demand for client compute and enterprise hard drives and price erosion.

The company demonstrated significant revenue growth compared to the prior year, driven by increased unit shipments and a favorable product mix, despite some price erosion.

Seagate Technology plc's (STX) 10-Q filing for the period ending March 29, 2013, reveals a significant decrease in revenue for the quarter compared to the prior year, primarily due to a normalization of average selling prices (ASPs) after the Thailand flood-related supply constraints in the previous year.

Apr 30, 2012

Seagate Technology plc reported strong financial performance for the nine months ended March 30, 2012, driven by a significant increase in revenue compared to the prior year. This growth was substantially fueled by the strategic acquisition of Samsung's HDD business in December 2011, which contributed $484 million in revenue and $61 million in net income for the nine-month period. The integration of Samsung's operations has positively impacted revenue and is expected to bolster Seagate's position in key growth markets.

Financially, the company saw a substantial increase in net income, rising to $1.85 billion for the nine months ended March 30, 2012, from $392 million in the prior year. This was accompanied by a robust increase in cash provided by operating activities, although significant cash outflows were observed in investing and financing activities, largely due to the Samsung acquisition, debt repayments, and substantial share repurchases.

Feb 1, 2012

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) reported strong financial results for the quarter ending December 29, 2011, significantly driven by an industry-wide supply chain disruption caused by severe flooding in Thailand. This disruption led to constrained HDD supply and a more favorable pricing environment, resulting in a substantial increase in average selling prices (ASPs) to $67 from $55 in the prior quarter. Revenue climbed to $3.2 billion, and operating cash flow reached $719 million. The company also completed the acquisition of Samsung's HDD business on December 19, 2011, which is expected to enhance its position in 2.5-inch products, expand market access, and accelerate new product introductions, although it will also lead to increased manufacturing capacity, product development expenses, and integration costs. Despite lower unit shipments (46.9 million units) due to component shortages stemming from the Thailand floods, the improved ASPs significantly boosted gross margins to 32% from 20% in the previous quarter. Operating expenses saw increases, particularly in marketing and administrative expenses, largely due to Samsung integration costs. The company ended the quarter with a healthy liquidity position of $2.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, while managing its capital resources through debt repayments, share repurchases, and dividends.

Key financial shifts include a reduction in long-term debt and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
