1.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (“STX”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, unless the context otherwise indicates, the “Company”) is a leading provider of data storage technology and infrastructure solutions. Its principal products are hard disk drives, commonly referred to as disk drives, hard drives or HDDs. In addition to HDDs, the Company produces a broad range of data storage products including solid state drives (“SSDs”) and storage subsystems and offers storage solutions such as a scalable edge-to-cloud mass data platform that includes data transfer shuttles and a storage-as-a-service cloud.

HDDs are devices that store digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating disks with magnetic surfaces. HDDs continue to be the primary medium of mass data storage due to their performance attributes, reliability, high capacities, superior quality and cost effectiveness. Complementing HDD storage architectures, SSDs use NAND flash memory integrated circuit assemblies to store data.

The Company’s HDD products are designed for mass capacity storage and legacy markets. Mass capacity storage involves well-established use cases, such as hyperscale data centers and public clouds as well as emerging use cases. Legacy markets are those that the Company continues to sell to but does not plan to invest in significantly.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s 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 U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 4, 2023. The Company believes that the disclosures included in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, when read in conjunction with its Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023, and the notes thereto, are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 28, 2024.

The Company operates and reports financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. In fiscal years with 53 weeks, the first quarter consists of 14 weeks and the remaining quarters consist of 13 weeks each. Both the three and nine months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 consisted of 13 and 39 weeks, respectively. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023 both comprise 52 weeks and end on June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2024, December 29, 2023 and March 31, 2023, are also referred to herein as the “March 2024 quarter”, the “December 2023 quarter” and the “March 2023 quarter”, respectively.

Except for the change in the Company’s other long-lived assets policies described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on August 4, 2023.

In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets on an ongoing basis. Effective from the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company changed the useful lives of certain manufacturing equipment from a range of three to seven years to a range of three to ten years based on its review of technology product roadmap. The effect of this change in estimate increased the net income by approximately $30 million and $70 million for three and nine months ended March 29, 2024, respectively. Earnings per share for the three months ended March 29, 2024 increased by $0.14 and loss per share for the nine months ended March 29, 2024 decreased by $0.33.

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2022-04 (ASC Subtopic 405-50), Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This ASU requires disclosure of key terms of the outstanding supplier finance programs and a roll forward of the related obligations. The Company adopted this guidance in the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 (ASC Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual reporting in fiscal year 2025 and for interim period reporting beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is expected to impact the Company’s disclosures and will not have impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (ASC Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disaggregated income tax disclosures on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company is required to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is expected to impact the Company’s disclosures and will not have impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) All unsecured senior notes and exchangeable senior notes are issued by Seagate HDD Cayman (“Seagate HDD”), and the obligations under these notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by Seagate Technology Unlimited Company (“STUC”) and STX.

2028 Notes. On September 13, 2023, Seagate HDD, in a private placement, issued $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 3.50% exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), which includes $200 million aggregate principal amount pursuant to the over-allotment option of the initial purchasers to purchase additional notes. The 2028 Notes will mature on June 1, 2028, with interest payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2024.

The entire outstanding principal amount of Term Loans A1, A2 and A3 were repaid from the proceeds of the 2028 Notes issuance. The exchange was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and the Company recorded a net loss of $29 million, which was included in the Net gain (loss) recognized from early redemption of debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended March 29, 2024. In connection with the repayment of Term Loans, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreements. Refer to “Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments” for more details.

Prior to March 1, 2028, the 2028 Notes are exchangeable at the option of the holders only under certain circumstances as set forth in the indenture with respect to the 2028 Notes. On or after March 1, 2028, the 2028 Notes are exchangeable at any time at the option of the holders until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, unless the 2028 Notes have been previously redeemed or repurchased by Seagate HDD. Upon exchange of the 2028 Notes, Seagate HDD will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes to be exchanged and will pay or cause to be delivered, as the case may be, cash, ordinary shares of the Company or a combination of cash and ordinary shares of the Company, at Seagate HDD’s election, in respect of any remainder of the exchange obligation in excess of such principal amount. The initial exchange rate for the 2028 Notes is 12.1253 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes.

Seagate HDD may redeem the 2028 Notes at its option, in whole but not in part, if Seagate HDD or the Guarantors have, or on the next interest payment date would, become obligated to pay to the holder of any Note additional amounts as a result of certain tax-related events at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that Seagate HDD may only redeem the Notes if: (x) Seagate HDD or the relevant Guarantor cannot avoid these obligations by taking commercially reasonable measures available to Seagate HDD or such Guarantor; and (y) Seagate HDD delivers to the Trustee an opinion of outside legal counsel of recognized standing in the relevant taxing jurisdiction attesting to such tax-related event and obligation to pay additional amounts.

Seagate HDD also may redeem the 2028 Notes at its option on or after September 8, 2026, in whole or in part, if the last reported sale price of ordinary shares of the Company has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Seagate HDD provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Seagate HDD provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If Seagate HDD redeems less than all the outstanding 2028 Notes, at least $150 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant notice of redemption date.

As of March 29, 2024, the 2028 Notes were not exchangeable and the aggregate if-converted value of the 2028 Notes exceeded their aggregate principal amount by approximately $100 million. Refer to “Note 11. Net Income (Loss) Per Share” for the potential dilutive impact of the 2028 Notes.

In connection with the 2028 Notes, the Company and Seagate HDD entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be $107.848 per share. The cost of the capped call transactions was $95 million, which met certain accounting criteria to be accounted under Additional Paid-in Capital as part of the Shareholders’ Deficit and are not accounted as derivatives in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The credit agreement dated as of February 20, 2019, by and among, Seagate Technology Holdings plc, Seagate HDD, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) includes two financial covenants: (1) interest coverage ratio and (2) total net leverage ratio. The maximum permitted total net leverage ratio did not apply for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2024. For the fiscal quarters ending June 28, 2024 until the end of the covenant relief period, which terminates on June 27, 2025, the maximum permitted total net leverage ratio is 6.75 to 1.00, and applies only to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of revolving loans, swing line loans and the aggregate face amount of certain letters of credit exceeds 25% of the then outstanding revolving commitments in effect (the “Testing Condition”) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted total leverage ratio for each fiscal quarter ending after June 27, 2025 is 4.00 to 1.00.

The minimum interest coverage ratio did not apply for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2024. For the fiscal quarters ending June 28, 2024 until June 27, 2025, the minimum interest coverage ratio is 2.25 to 1.00, and applies only to the extent that the Testing Condition is satisfied as of the last day of the fiscal quarter. The minimum interest coverage ratio is 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending after June 27, 2025.

At March 29, 2024, future principal payments on long-term debt were as follows (in millions):

4.Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax provisions of $33 million and $85 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2024, respectively. The discrete items in the income tax provision were not material for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The income tax provision for the nine months ended March 29, 2024 included approximately $42 million of net discrete expense, primarily associated with an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance to account for the impacts of new tax guidance which clarifies the treatment of specified research and experimental expenditures issued by the U.S. Treasury Department under Internal Revenue Code Section 174 during the September 2023 quarter, partially offset by net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense. Additional guidance issued by the Treasury department in December 2023 did not result in any impacts. The Company will have income taxes payable based on profits generated in various jurisdictions.

During the nine months ended March 29, 2024, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties decreased by approximately $6 million to $110 million, substantially all of which would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, subject to certain future valuation allowance reversals. The Company is not expecting material changes to its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months beginning March 30, 2024.

The Company recorded income tax provisions of $33 million and $26 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The discrete items in the income tax provisions were not material for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company established Singapore as its principal executive offices. The Company’s income tax provisions recorded for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2024 differed from the provisions for income taxes that would be derived by applying the Singaporean statutory rate of 17% to income before income taxes, primarily due to the net effect of (i) earnings generated in jurisdictions that are subject to tax incentive programs, (ii) non-Singaporean earnings taxed at different rates, and (iii) changes in valuation allowance.

The Company’s income tax provisions recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the provisions 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 tax benefits related to (i) non-Irish earnings generated in jurisdictions that are subject to tax incentive programs and are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Ireland and (ii) current year generation of research credits.

5.Restructuring and Other, net

The Company recorded restructuring and other, net charge of $2 million and benefit of $27 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2024, respectively. The net benefit for the nine months ended March 29, 2024 was primarily due to the net gain of $30 million from the sale and leaseback of certain property during the December 2023 quarter. The net proceeds of $34 million from this transaction were recorded as an investing inflow on the Company’s Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended March 29, 2024.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded restructuring and other, net of $20 million and $110 million, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s restructuring plans are comprised primarily of charges related to workforce reduction costs, including severance and other one-time termination benefits, facilities and other exit costs.

The Company’s significant restructuring plans are described below.

October 2022 Plan - On October 24, 2022, the Company committed to an October 2022 restructuring plan (the “October 2022 Plan”) to reduce its cost structure to better align the Company’s operational needs to current economic conditions while continuing to support the long-term business strategy. On March 29, 2023, in light of further deteriorating economic conditions, the Company committed to an expansion of the October 2022 Plan to further reduce its global headcount by approximately 480 employees to a total reduction of approximately 3,480 employees. This expanded plan included aligning its business plan to near-term market conditions, along with other cost saving measures. The October 2022 Plan was substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2023.

April 2023 Plan - On April 20, 2023, the Company committed to an April 2023 restructuring plan (the “April 2023 Plan”) to further reduce its cost structure in response to changes in macroeconomic and business conditions. The April 2023 Plan was intended to align the Company’s operational needs with the near-term demand environment while continuing to support the long-term business strategy. The April 2023 Plan was substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2023.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restructuring activities under its active restructuring plans:

The accrued restructuring balance of $7 million at March 29, 2024 was included in Accrued expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the accrued restructuring balance of $119 million at June 30, 2023, $117 million was included in Accrued expenses and $2 million was included in Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

6.Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, and to a lesser extent, equity market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. From time to time, the Company enters into cash flow hedges in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted expenses and investments denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements to convert the variable interest rate on its Term Loans to fixed interest rates. The objective of the interest rate swap agreements was to eliminate the variability of interest payment cash flows associated with the variable interest rate under the Term Loans. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. On September 13, 2023, the Company terminated its then existing interest rate swap agreements as a result of the repayment of Term Loans A1, A2 and A3 and received cash proceeds of $25 million from the counterparty. The cash proceeds are reported within Net cash provided by operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows during the nine months ended March 29, 2024. The Company discontinued the related hedge accounting prospectively and realized a net gain of $104 million in Net gain recognized from termination of interest rate swap in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended March 29, 2024. Additionally, $6 million of the gains were amortized to Interest expense prior to the termination of interest rate swap in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to “Note 3. Debt” for more details.

As of March 29, 2024, the Company does not have any interest rate swap contracts.

The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are classified as designated or non-designated hedging instruments. The Company records all derivatives on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The changes in the fair value of highly effective designated cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or are not assessed to be highly effective are adjusted to fair value through earnings. The net unrealized loss on cash flow hedges was $3 million as of March 29, 2024, all of which is expected to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months. The net unrealized gain on cash flow hedges was $12 million as of June 30, 2023.

The Company de-designates its cash flow hedges when the forecasted hedged transactions affect earnings 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 AOCI on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reclassified into earnings and any subsequent changes in the fair value of such derivative instruments are immediately reflected in earnings.

The following tables show the effect of the Company’s derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2024:

(Dollars in millions) Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments						Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivatives (Effective Portion)												Location of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)						Amount of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)												Location of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives (Ineffective Portion and Amount Excluded from Effectiveness Testing(1)						Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in Income (Ineffective Portion and Amount Excluded from Effectiveness Testing)

The following tables show the effect of the Company’s derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023:

Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of foreign currency forward exchange contracts that the Company uses to hedge the foreign currency exposure on forecasted expenditures denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts with contractual maturities of less than one month, which are designed to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes gains and losses on these contracts, as well as the related costs, in Other, net on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following tables show the total notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts as of March 29, 2024 and June 30, 2023. All of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts mature within 12 months:

The Company is subject to equity market risks due to changes in the fair value of the notional investments selected by its employees as part of its non-qualified deferred compensation plan: the Seagate Deferred Compensation Plan (the “SDCP”). In fiscal year 2014, the Company entered into a Total Return Swap (“TRS”) in order to manage the equity market risks associated with the SDCP’s liabilities. The Company pays a floating rate, based on SOFR plus an interest rate spread, on the notional amount of the TRS. The TRS is designed to substantially offset changes in the SDCP’s liabilities due to changes in the value of the investment options made by employees. As of March 29, 2024, the notional investments underlying the TRS amounted to $109 million. This contract, which settles monthly and effectively mitigates counterparty risk, will mature in May 2024. The Company did not designate the TRS as a hedge. Rather, the Company records all changes in the fair value of the TRS to earnings to offset the market value changes of the SDCP’s liabilities.

The following tables show the Company’s derivative instruments measured at gross fair value as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 29, 2024 and June 30, 2023:
