Western Digital Q3 Earnings: Revenue Beat, Higher ASP, Upbeat Q4 Guidance And More
Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) reported third-quarter financial results after the bell on Thursday. Here's a look at the highlights.
西部數據公司（納斯達克股票代碼：WDC）在週四收盤後公佈了第三季度財務業績。以下是亮點。
Western Digital reported earnings of 63 cents per share, which is not comparable to the consensus of 20 cents. It clocked quarterly sales of $3.46 billion, beating the $3.36 billion analyst consensus estimate.
西部數據公佈的每股收益爲63美分，與共識的20美分不相上下。其季度銷售額爲34.6億美元，超過了分析師共識估計的33.6億美元。
Cloud revenue of $1.55 billion represented 45% of total revenue, with its growth primarily attributed to higher nearline shipments and improved nearline per unit pricing with flash revenue up both sequentially and year-over-year.
15.5億美元的雲收入佔總收入的45％，其增長主要歸因於近線出貨量的增加以及近線單位定價的改善，閃存收入環比和同比均增長。
Client revenue of $1.17 billion represented 34% of total revenue. Sequentially, the increase in flash ASP more than offset a decline in flash bit shipments while HDD revenue decreased. The year-over-year increase was driven by growth in both flash and HDD ASPs and flash bit shipments.
11.7億美元的客戶收入佔總收入的34％。順序而言，閃存ASP的增長足以抵消閃存位出貨量的下降，而硬盤收入的下降。同比增長是由閃存和硬盤ASP的增長以及閃存位出貨量的增長推動的。
Consumer revenue of $730 million represented 21% of total revenue. Sequentially, both flash and HDD were down at approximately similar rates and in line with seasonality. The year-over-year increase was driven by growth in flash bit shipments and ASP.
7.3億美元的消費者收入佔總收入的21％。按順序排列，閃存和硬盤的下降速度大致相似，並且與季節性一致。同比增長是由閃存位出貨量和ASP的增長推動的。
"As evidenced by our excellent third quarter results, Western Digital continues improving through-cycle profitability and dampening business cycles by leveraging our strategy of developing a diversified portfolio of industry-leading products across a broad range of end markets," said David Goeckeler, Western Digital CEO.
西部數據首席執行官戴維·戈克勒表示：“正如我們出色的第三季度業績所證明的那樣，西部數據利用我們在廣泛的終端市場開發多元化的行業領先產品組合的戰略，繼續提高整個週期的盈利能力並抑制商業週期。”
Outlook: Western Digital expects fourth-quarter earnings between 90 cents and $1.20 per share versus the 84 cents estimate. It forecasts fourth-quarter revenue of $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion versus the $3.69 billion estimate.
展望：西部數據預計第四季度每股收益在90美分至1.20美元之間，而預期爲84美分。它預測第四季度收入爲36億至38億美元，而預期爲36.9億美元。
"We are in the early innings of unlocking the full potential of this company, and as industry supply and demand dynamics continue to improve, we will remain disciplined around our capital spending and focused on driving innovation and efficiency across our businesses," said Goeckeler.
戈克勒說：“我們正處於釋放這家公司全部潛力的初期，隨着行業供需動態的持續改善，我們將對資本支出保持紀律，專注於推動業務的創新和效率。”
