Sandisk Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2026 Financial Results
News Summary
Fiscal fourth quarter revenue was $8.97 billion, up 51% sequentially, with GAAP net income reported at $6.90 billion ($43.97 diluted net income per share). Sequential revenue growth came approximately one-third from higher volumes and two-thirds from higher pricing. Fourth quarter Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $39.25.
Fiscal year 2026 revenue was $20.25 billion, up 175% year-over-year, with GAAP net income reported at $11.43 billion ($73.76 diluted net income per share). Revenue outperformance was driven by both our mix shift toward higher-value customers, with Datacenter up 437%, and higher pricing. Fiscal year 2026 Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $70.88.
Since announcing five New Business Model (“NBM”) agreements during our April earnings call, we have signed five additional agreements, including three NBMs with new customers and two deals expanding on previously signed NBMs.
Expanded our share repurchase authorization, with Sandisk’s Board of Directors approving an additional $14 billion buyback program, bringing total remaining authorization to $15.5 billion.
Expect first quarter 2027 revenue to be in the range of $10.30 billion to $10.80 billion, with expected Non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be in the range of $44.00 to $46.00.
MILPITAS, Calif. — August 5, 2026 — Sandisk Corporation (Nasdaq: SNDK) today reported fiscal fourth quarter financial results.

"We closed fiscal 2026 with a leading technology portfolio, established datacenter as a key growth pillar, and deepened our customer partnerships," said David Goeckeler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sandisk. "Our technology and products are well positioned to create value for our customers and generate growing and durable free cash flow."

Business Outlook for Fiscal First Quarter of 2027
(in millions, except per share amounts)
GAAP
Non-GAAP(1)
Revenue $10,300 - $10,800 $10,300 - $10,800
Gross Margin 83.0% - 84.9% 83.0% - 85.0%
Operating Expenses $574 - $614 $520 - $540
Tax Expense (2)
N/A 15.0%
Diluted Net Income Per Share N/A $44.00 - $46.00
Diluted Shares Outstanding ~ 155 ~ 155
(1) Non-GAAP gross margin guidance excludes stock-based compensation expense, totaling approximately $5 million to $7 million. The Company’s Non-GAAP operating expenses guidance excludes stock-based compensation expense, totaling approximately $54 million to $74 million. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share guidance excludes these items totaling $59 million to $81 million. The timing and amount of these charges excluded from Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, and Non-GAAP diluted net income per share cannot be further allocated or quantified with certainty. Additionally, the timing and amount of certain other adjustments included in the Company's Non-GAAP diluted net income per share guidance are dependent on the timing and determination of certain actions or events and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, full reconciliations of Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, and Non-GAAP diluted net income per share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (gross margin, operating expenses, and diluted net income per share, respectively) are not available without unreasonable effort.
(2) Non-GAAP tax expense is determined based on a Non-GAAP pre-tax income or loss. Our estimated Non-GAAP tax expense may differ from our GAAP tax expense (i) due to differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from our Non-GAAP net income or loss; (ii) due to the fact that our GAAP income tax expense or benefit recorded in any interim period is based on an estimated forecasted GAAP tax expense for the full year, excluding loss jurisdictions; and (iii) because our GAAP taxes recorded in any interim period are dependent on the timing and determination of certain GAAP operating expenses.

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the table above sets forth Non-GAAP gross profit; Non-GAAP operating expenses; Non-GAAP operating income; Non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), net; Non-GAAP income tax expense; Non-GAAP net income; Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share; Non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding; Free cash flow; and Adjusted free cash flow (collectively, the “Non-GAAP measures”). These Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled Non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The Company believes the presentation of these Non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors for measuring the Company’s earnings performance and comparing it against prior periods. Specifically, the Company believes these Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors as they exclude certain expenses, gains, and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results or because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the Company and its peers. As discussed further below, these Non-GAAP measures exclude, as applicable, goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation expense, business separation costs, employee termination and other, (gain) loss on business divestiture, loss on debt extinguishment, (gain) loss on equity securities, net, other adjustments, and income tax adjustments. The Company believes these measures, along with the related reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, provide additional detail and comparability for assessing the Company’s results. These Non-GAAP measures are some of the primary indicators management uses for assessing the Company’s performance and planning and forecasting future periods. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
As described above, the Company excludes the following items from its Non-GAAP measures:
Goodwill impairment. After the completion of the separation, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company identified potential impairment indicators related to the trading price of the Company’s common stock and resulting market capitalization that warranted a quantitative impairment analysis of long-lived assets and goodwill. Management performed a quantitative impairment analysis and determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in the recognition of a $1.8 billion impairment charge for the year ended June 27, 2025. The Company believes this charge does not reflect the Company’s operating results and is not indicative of the underlying performance of the business.
Stock-based compensation expense. Because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation expense, the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations and the volatility in valuations that can be driven by market conditions outside the Company’s control, the Company believes excluding stock-based compensation expense enhances the ability of management and investors to understand and assess the underlying performance of the business over time and compare it against the Company’s peers, a majority of whom also exclude stock-based compensation expense from their Non-GAAP results.

Business separation costs. On October 30, 2023, Western Digital Corporation (“WDC”) announced that its board of directors (the “WDC Board of Directors”) authorized management to pursue a plan to separate the Company into an independent public company. The separation received final approval by the WDC Board of Directors and was completed on February 21, 2025. Prior to February 21, 2025, the Company was wholly owned by WDC. As a result of the plan, the Company incurred separation and transition costs through the completion of the separation of the companies. The separation and transition costs are recorded within Business separation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes these charges do not reflect the Company’s operating results and that they are not indicative of the underlying results of its business.
Employee termination and other. From time to time, in order to realign the Company’s operations with anticipated market demand, the Company may terminate employees and/or restructure its operations. From time to time, the Company may also incur charges from the impairment of long-lived assets. In addition, the Company may record credits related to gains upon sale of property due to restructuring or reversals of charges recorded in prior periods as well as from taking actions to reduce the amount of capital invested in facilities, including the sale-leaseback of facilities. These charges or credits are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and the Company believes they are not indicative of the underlying performance of its business.
(Gain) loss on business divestiture. In connection with the Company’s strategic decision to outsource the manufacturing of certain components and assemblies, on September 28, 2024, the Company completed the sale of 80% of its equity interest in one of its manufacturing subsidiaries. On September 25, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Equity Purchase Agreement that included a $10 million provision for working capital support. The Company recognized the adjustment as a Loss on business divestiture during the first fiscal quarter of 2026. The overall transaction resulted in a discrete gain, which the Company believes is not indicative of the underlying performance of its ongoing business operations.
Loss on debt extinguishment. From time to time, the Company incurs debt extinguishment charges consisting of the costs to call the existing debt and/or the write-off of any related unamortized debt issuance costs. These charges do not reflect the Company’s operating results, and the Company believes these charges are not indicative of the underlying performance of its business.
(Gain) loss on equity securities, net. (Gain) loss on equity securities, net consists of ongoing mark-to-market adjustments on the Companys investments in marketable equity securities, the gains from the sale of equity investments and related impairment charges. These charges do not reflect the Company’s operating results, and the Company believes these charges are not indicative of the underlying performance of its business.
Other adjustments. From time to time, the Company incurs charges or gains that the Company believes are not a part of the ongoing operation of its business. For the year ended July 3, 2026, Other adjustments include charges for the settlement of certain previously existing legal matters. The resulting expense or benefit is inconsistent in amount and frequency.
Income tax adjustments. Income tax adjustments include the difference between income taxes based on a forecasted annual Non-GAAP tax rate and a forecasted annual GAAP tax rate as a result of the timing of certain Non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments. The income tax adjustments also include the re-measurement of certain unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to tax positions taken in prior quarters, including interest. These adjustments are excluded because the Company believes that they are not indicative of the underlying performance of its ongoing business.

Additionally, Free cash flow is defined as Cash Flow from operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, net. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as Free cash flow plus the activity related to Flash Ventures, net less the impact of cash prepayments under NBM agreements (the “NBM Prepayments”) and deposits received and returned under NBM agreements (the “NBM Deposits” and together with the NBM Prepayments, the “NBM Payments”). The Company is adjusting for the NBM Payments because the Company believes that these cash flows are not indicative of the core underlying cash flows of the Company’s business. The Company considers Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow generated in any period to be useful indicators of cash that is available for strategic opportunities, including, among others, investing in the Company’s business, making strategic acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet.
Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Gross Margin are calculated by dividing Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Profit, respectively, by Revenue. Cash flow from operating activities margin and Adjusted free cash flow margin are calculated by dividing Cash flow from operating activities and Adjusted free cash flow, respectively, by Revenue.
