"As we finalize the separation of our businesses, we are confident that both Western Digital and Sandisk will continue driving innovation and providing compelling storage solutions to customers while delivering long-term shareholder value," said David Goeckeler, Western Digital CEO. "We expect that our strong performance in HDD and our strategic approach to managing our Flash business within the New Era of NAND will allow each company to capture the growing demand for storage driven by the AI Data Cycle."
Q2 2025 Financial Highlights
The company had an operating cash inflow of $403 million and ended the quarter with $2.29 billion of total cash and cash equivalents.
In the fiscal second quarter:
- Cloud represented 55% of total revenue at $2.3 billion, up 6% sequentially and more than doubling year-over-year. On a sequential basis, the growth was due to an increase in nearline HDD shipments while Flash was down. On a year-over-year basis, both HDD and Flash revenue grew.
- Client represented 27% of total revenue at $1.2 billion, down 3% sequentially and up 4% year-over-year. Compared to last quarter, Flash revenue declined as bit shipment growth was offset by pricing pressure, while HDD revenue was flat. Year-over-year, an increase in Flash revenue was primarily due to higher ASPs as bit shipments declined and was partially offset by lower HDD revenue.
- Consumer represented 18% of total revenue at $0.8 billion, up 14% sequentially and down 8% year-over-year. Sequentially, both Flash and HDD bit shipments grew and drove revenue growth while pricing was a headwind. Year-over-year, the decrease was due to lower shipments in Flash and HDD and pricing in Flash.
It was not a bad quarter for Western Digital.
