Segment Information | Segment Information The Company manufactures, markets, and sells data storage devices and solutions in the U.S. and in foreign countries through its sales personnel, dealers, distributors, retailers, and subsidiaries. Historically, the Company had been managed and reported under a single operating segment. Late in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), announced a decision to reorganize the Company’s business by forming two separate product business units: hard disk drives (“HDD”) and flash-based products (“Flash”). To align with the new operating model and business structure, the Company made management organizational changes and implemented new reporting modules and processes to provide discrete information to manage the business. Effective July 3, 2021, the Company’s management finalized its assessment of the Company’s operating segments and concluded that the Company now has two reportable segments: HDD and Flash. The CODM evaluates performance of the Company and makes decisions regarding allocation of resources based on each operating segment’s net revenue and gross margin, which are summarized below. Because of the integrated nature of the Company’s production and distribution activities, separate segment asset measures are not available or reviewed by the CODM to evaluate the performance of or to allocate resources to the segments. The following table summarizes the operating performance of the Company’s reportable segments: Three Months Ended October 1, October 2, (in millions) Net revenue: HDD $ 2,561 $ 1,844 Flash 2,490 2,078 Total net revenue $ 5,051 $ 3,922 Gross profit HDD $ 792 $ 483 Flash 921 548 Total gross profit for segments 1,713 1,031 Unallocated corporate items: Amortization of acquired intangible assets 39 145 Stock-based compensation expense 9 12 Charges related to a power outage incident and related recovery — (30) Total unallocated corporate items (48) (127) Consolidated gross profit $ 1,665 $ 904 Gross margin: HDD 30.9 % 26.2 % Flash 37.0 % 26.4 % Consolidated gross margin 33.0 % 23.0 % Disaggregated Revenue The Company’s broad portfolio of technology and products address multiple end markets. In the fiscal first quarter of 2022, the Company refined the end markets it reports to be Cloud, Client and Consumer. Cloud represents a large and growing end market comprised primarily of products for public or private cloud environments and end customers, which the Company believes it is uniquely positioned to address as the only provider of both hard drive and flash products. Through the Client end market, the Company provides its original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and channel customers a broad array of high-performance flash and hard drive solutions across personal computer, mobile, gaming, automotive, virtual reality headsets, at-home entertainment, and industrial spaces. The Consumer end market is highlighted by the Company’s broad range of retail and other end-user products, which capitalize on the strength of the Company’s product brand recognition and vast points of presence around the world. The Company’s disaggregated revenue information is as follows: Three Months Ended October 1, October 2, (in millions) Revenue by End Market Cloud $ 2,225 $ 1,291 Client 1,853 1,750 Consumer 973 881 Total Revenue $ 5,051 $ 3,922 Revenue by Geography Americas $ 1,614 $ 1,079 Europe, Middle East and Africa 762 629 Asia 2,675 2,214 Total Revenue $ 5,051 $ 3,922 The Company’s top 10 customers accounted for 43% of its net revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2021, and 44% of its net revenue for the three months ended October 2, 2020. For the three months ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenue. Goodwill In connection with the Company’s determination of its reportable segments, effective July 3, 2021, the Company allocated its goodwill between its segments based on the estimated relative fair values of the business units. In addition, management performed a goodwill impairment assessment for each segment and concluded no impairment indicators as of both the beginning and end of the three months ended October 1, 2021. The following table provides a summary of goodwill activity for the period.
