The hyperscaler design win marks a pivotal technological breakthrough for Pure Storage's DirectFlash technology. This achievement could revolutionize hyperscale storage infrastructure, traditionally dominated by hard disk drives. The partnership with Kioxia strengthens Pure's position in NAND Flash technology development and manufacturing capacity.
The company's AI initiatives are particularly noteworthy, including FlashBlade//S500's NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD certification and the CoreWeave partnership. The introduction of GenAI Pod demonstrates Pure's commitment to simplifying AI infrastructure deployment. Pure Fusion v2.0's upcoming release will enable enterprise-grade storage management capabilities similar to hyperscale operations, while new integrations with AWS Outposts and Azure enhance hybrid cloud flexibility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, Pure uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses such as stock-based compensation expense, payments to former shareholders of acquired companies, payroll tax expense related to stock-based activities, amortization of debt issuance costs related to debt, and amortization of intangible assets acquired from acquisitions that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. Pure believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation from net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow," included at the end of this release.
