Q2 2025 Financial Highlights
The company had an operating cash inflow of $403 million and ended the quarter with $2.29 billion of total cash and cash equivalents.
In the fiscal second quarter:
- Cloud represented 55% of total revenue at $2.3 billion, up 6% sequentially and more than doubling year-over-year. On a sequential basis, the growth was due to an increase in nearline HDD shipments while Flash was down. On a year-over-year basis, both HDD and Flash revenue grew.
- Client represented 27% of total revenue at $1.2 billion, down 3% sequentially and up 4% year-over-year. Compared to last quarter, Flash revenue declined as bit shipment growth was offset by pricing pressure, while HDD revenue was flat. Year-over-year, an increase in Flash revenue was primarily due to higher ASPs as bit shipments declined and was partially offset by lower HDD revenue.
- Consumer represented 18% of total revenue at $0.8 billion, up 14% sequentially and down 8% year-over-year. Sequentially, both Flash and HDD bit shipments grew and drove revenue growth while pricing was a headwind. Year-over-year, the decrease was due to lower shipments in Flash and HDD and pricing in Flash.
