1.              Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

The Company is a leading provider of data storage products. Its principal products are hard disk drives, commonly referred to as disk drives, hard drives or HDDs. Hard disk drives are devices that store digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating disks with magnetic surfaces. Disk drives are used as the primary medium for storing electronic data.

 

The Company produces a broad range of electronic data storage products addressing enterprise applications, where its products are designed for enterprise servers, mainframes and workstations; client compute applications, where its products are designed for desktop and notebook computers; and client non-compute applications, where its products are designed for a wide variety of end user devices such as digital video recorders (DVRs), gaming consoles, personal data backup systems, portable external storage systems and digital media systems. The Company sells its products primarily to major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and retailers. In addition to manufacturing and selling disk drives, the Company provides storage services for small- to medium-sized businesses, including online backup, data protection and recovery solutions.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States also requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012, are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 8, 2012. The Company believes that the disclosures included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, when read in conjunction with its Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 29, 2012, and the notes thereto, are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended September 28, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period in the Company’s fiscal year ending June 28, 2013. The Company operates and reports financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The three months ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 each consisted of 13 weeks.  Fiscal year 2013 will be comprised of 52 weeks and will end on June 28, 2013.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Pursuant to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income and Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, we elected to present separate consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other than the revised indefinite lived intangible asset impairment testing described below, there have been no  significant changes in our significant accounting policies. Please refer to Note 1 of “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” contained in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012, as filed with the SEC on August 8, 2012 for a discussion of the Company’s other significant accounting policies.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350) Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  The ASU allows companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment in determining whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  The Company has early adopted the ASU in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.  As required by the new ASU, the Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events occur or circumstances change, such as declining financial performance, deterioration in the environment in which the entity operates or deteriorating macroeconomic conditions that have a negative effect on future expected earnings and cash flows that could affect significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.              Balance Sheet Information

 

Investments

 

The Company’s short-term investments are comprised of readily marketable securities with remaining maturities of more than 90 days at the time of purchase.  With the exception of securities held for its non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which are classified as trading securities, the Company classifies its investment portfolio as available-for-sale.  The Company recognizes its available-for-sale investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of equity.  The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion are included in Interest income. Realized gains and losses are included in Other, net. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

 

As of September 28, 2012, the Company’s Restricted cash and investments consisted of $78 million in cash equivalents and investments held in trust for payment of its non-qualified deferred compensation plan liabilities and $22 million in cash and investments held as collateral at banks for various performance obligations. As of June 29, 2012, the Company’s Restricted cash and investments consisted of $73 million in cash equivalents and investments held in trust for payment of its non-qualified deferred compensation plan liabilities and $20 million in cash and investments held as collateral at banks for various performance obligations.

 

The following table summarizes, by major type, the fair value and amortized cost of the Company’s investments as of September 28, 2012:

The Company’s available-for-sale securities include investments in auction rate securities.  Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the Company’s auction rate securities failed to settle at auction and have continued to fail through September 28, 2012.  Since the Company continues to earn interest on its auction rate securities at the maximum contractual rate, there have been no payment defaults with respect to such securities, and they are all collateralized, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these auction rate securities.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities and has concluded it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.  Given the uncertainty as to when the liquidity issues associated with these securities will improve, these securities are classified within Other assets, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Short-Term Borrowings

 

On January 18, 2011, the Company and its subsidiary, Seagate HDD Cayman (“the Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement which provides for a $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Seagate Technology plc and certain of its material subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior secured basis, the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures in January 2015. The $350 million revolving credit facility is available for cash borrowings and for the issuance of letters of credit up to a sub-limit of $75 million. As of September 28, 2012, no borrowings have been drawn under the revolving credit facility, and $2 million had been utilized for letters of credit.

4.              Income Taxes

 

The income tax provision of $18 million recorded in the three months ended September 28, 2012 included approximately $7 million of net discrete tax expense primarily associated with the reversal of prior period tax benefits.

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes recorded for the three months ended September 28, 2012 differed from the provision for income taxes that would be derived by applying the Irish statutory rate of 25% to income before income taxes, primarily due to the net effect of (i) tax benefits related to non-U.S. earnings generated in jurisdictions that are subject to tax holidays or tax incentive programs and are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Ireland and (ii) a decrease in valuation allowance for certain U.S. deferred tax assets.

 

During the three months ended September 28, 2012, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties increased by $11 million to $146 million. The unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate were $146 million at September 28, 2012, subject to certain future valuation allowance reversals. During the 12 months beginning September 29, 2012, the Company expects to reduce its unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $5 million primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.

 

The income tax provision of $12 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2011 included approximately $2 million of net discrete tax benefits from the release of tax reserves associated with the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.

5.              Acquisitions

 

LaCie S.A.

 

On August 3, 2012 the Company acquired 23,382,904 (or approximately 64.5%) of the outstanding shares of LaCie S.A. (“LaCie”) for a price of €4.05 per share with a price supplement of €0.12 per share, which is payable if the Company successfully acquires at least 95% of the outstanding shares of LaCie within 6 months of the acquisition.  Of the amount paid at the acquisition date, €9 million may be refunded to the Company if the selling shareholder is no longer employed with the Company after 36 months from the acquisition date, and is accounted for as compensation cost to be recognized over the same period.  The transaction and related agreements are expected to accelerate the Company’s growth strategy in the expanding consumer storage market, particularly in Europe, Japan and in premium distribution channels.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred for the business combination totaled $111 million, including cash paid of $107 million, and contingent consideration of $4 million.

The amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition are preliminary and subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available, including information relating to our valuation of identified intangible assets.

 

The Company incurred $1 million of expenses related to the acquisition of LaCie during the three months ended September 28, 2012, which are included within Marketing and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The amounts of revenue and earnings of LaCie included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations from the acquisition date were not significant.

 

The Company deposited $72 million into an escrow account with the intention of acquiring the remaining publicly held shares of LaCie through public and private transactions, including a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), which commenced on September 21, 2012, and concluded on October 18, 2012.  As of September 28, 2012, a total of $21 million of the Company’s deposit had been used to acquire an additional 10% of the outstanding shares of LaCie at a price of €4.50 per share.

 

Samsung Hard Disk Drive (“HDD”) Operations

 

On December 19, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd’s (“Samsung”) hard disk drive (“HDD”) business pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by which the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Samsung relating to the research and development, manufacture and sale of hard-disk drives. The transaction and related agreements are expected to improve the Company’s position as a supplier of 2.5-inch products; position the Company to better address rapidly evolving opportunities in markets including, but not limited to, mobile computing, cloud computing and solid state storage; expand the Company’s customer access in China and Southeast Asia; and accelerate time to market for new products.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $1,140 million, which consisted of $571 million of cash, $10 million of which was paid as a deposit upon signing the APA in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, and 45.2 million ordinary shares with a fair value of $569 million.  The fair value of the ordinary shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the acquisition date, less a 16.5% discount for lack of marketability as the shares issued are subject to a restriction that limits their trade or transfer for approximately a one year period.

Since acquisition date, the Company recorded adjustments to the preliminary fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the Samsung HDD business that resulted in a net decrease of $5 million to Goodwill. These adjustments included a $7 million increase in Other assets for spare parts and a $3 million increase to Equipment, offset by a $3 million increase in Warranty liability and a $2 million increase in Other liabilities related to certain assumed vendor obligations.   No adjustments to the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the Samsung HDD business were recorded in the quarter ended September 28, 2012.

 

The amount noted above for warranty is provisional, being an estimate calculated on the basis of projected product failure rates and timing of product returns during the warranty period. Seagate assumed product warranty obligations from Samsung on products sold prior to the acquisition. These products are warranted for up to three years from the original shipment date. The estimate of the warranty liability is subject to a significant degree of subjectivity since the Company has limited experience with Samsung products. If actual return rates differ materially from the Company’s estimate, or if there is an epidemic failure of drives for which Seagate assumed warranty obligations, the fair value of the warranty liability may need to be reestimated during the measurement period, which may be up to one year following the acquisition date.

 

The Company received a patent portfolio that may have value apart from being an enabling technology that is included within the fair value of Intangible assets — Existing technology.  However, the Company has not received all information regarding these patents that is necessary for the completion of a review to determine the extent of encumbrances and the scope of their application.  Therefore, provisionally, no separately identifiable value has been recognized for the patent portfolio.

 

As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed certain vendor-related and other obligations and contingent liabilities.  Due to the nature of these obligations and contingent liabilities, except for the adjustment noted above relating to certain assumed vendor liabilities, the Company has not received sufficient information needed to determine the fair value of these obligations.

 

The $432 million of goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the benefits the Company expects to derive from enhanced scale and efficiency to better serve its markets and expanded customer presence in China and Southeast Asia.  Except for approximately $4 million of goodwill relating to assembled workforce in Korea, none of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial results presented below for the three months ended September 30, 2011, include the effects of pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition date occurred as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year on July 2, 2011. The pro forma results combine the historical results of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the historical results of the acquired assets and liabilities of Samsung’s HDD business, and include the effects of certain fair value adjustments and the elimination of certain activities excluded from the transaction. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the earliest period presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

7.              Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, and to a lesser extent, equity price risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted expenses denominated in foreign currencies and to mitigate the remeasurement risk of certain foreign currency denominated liabilities.  The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are classified as designated or non-designated hedging instruments. The

Table of Contents

 

Company records all derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The changes in the fair values of the effective portions of designated cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings.   The amount of net unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges was not material as of September 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012.

 

The Company dedesignates its cash flow hedges when the forecasted hedged transactions are realized or it is probable the forecasted hedged transactions will not occur in the initially identified time period. At such time, the associated gains and losses deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified immediately into earnings and any subsequent changes in the fair value of such derivative instruments are immediately reflected in earnings. The Company did not recognize any net gains or losses related to the loss of hedge designation on discontinued cash flow hedges during the three months ended September 28, 2012. As of September 28, 2012, the Company’s existing foreign currency forward exchange contracts mature within 12 months. The deferred amount currently recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and expected to be recognized into earnings over the next 12 months is immaterial.

8.              Fair Value

 

Measurement of Fair Value

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

A fair value hierarchy is based on whether the market participant assumptions used in determining fair value are obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflects the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive; quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; or

 

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company considers an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and views an inactive market as one in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers.  Where appropriate the Company’s or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in determining the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively.
