TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 1, 2007, Western Digital Corporation (“Western Digital”) announced financial
results for the first fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2007. A copy of the press release making
this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A
copy of Western Digital’s Investor Information Summary for the fiscal quarter ended September 28,
2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In Western Digital’s press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and in its conference call
scheduled for 2:30 p.m. PDT/5:30 p.m. EDT today, Western Digital plans to report certain financial
information, including revenue, net income and earnings per share, on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP
basis. Western Digital believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in the press release and
during the conference call are useful to investors as they provide an alternative method for
measuring Western Digital’s operating performance and comparing it against prior periods’
performance, excluding net non-recurring charges related to Western Digital’s ongoing hard drive
operations and the operating results of Western Digital’s newly acquired media operations from the
date of the acquisition (September 5, 2007) through
September 28, 2007, including acquisition related in-process research and development charges. As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 2.02,
including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to
the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration
statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference
in such filing.
