“Supermicro’s record revenue and 37% year-over-year growth for fiscal year 2023 validates our global leadership position in AI accelerated compute platforms,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “We continue to see unprecedented demand for AI and other advanced applications requiring optimized rack-scale solutions. We are in a great position to continue our growth momentum given our record new design wins, customers, and backlog for our best-in-class rack-scale Total AI & IT Solutions.”

Fiscal Year 2023 Summary

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, were $7.12 billion versus $5.20 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Net income for fiscal year 2023 was $640 million, or $11.43 per diluted share, versus $285 million, or $5.32 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2022. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2023 was $673 million, or $11.81 per diluted share, versus $311 million, or $5.65 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2022. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2023 adds back stock-based compensation expense of $54 million and litigation recovery of $4 million, net of the related tax effects of $17 million.

Business Outlook and Management Commentary

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 ending September 30, 2023, the Company expects net sales of $1.90 billion to $2.20 billion, GAAP net income per diluted share of $2.02 to $2.80 and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $2.75 to $3.50. The Company’s projections for GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share assume a tax rate of approximately 14.7% and 15.4%, respectively, and a fully diluted share count of 56 million shares for GAAP and fully diluted share count of 57 million shares for non-GAAP. The outlook for Q1 of fiscal year 2024 GAAP net income per diluted share includes approximately $44 million in expected stock-based compensation expense and other expenses, net of related tax effects of $9 million, which are excluded from non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

For fiscal year 2024 ending June 30, 2024, the Company expects net sales of $9.5 billion to $10.5 billion.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this press release that are not historical fact may be forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward looking statements may relate to, among other things, the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and full year fiscal 2024 guidance; demand for AI and other advanced applications; and the Company's position to continue growth. Such forward looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including: (i) our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, which could cause rapid declines in our stock price, (ii) as we increasingly target larger customers and larger sales opportunities, our customer base may become more concentrated, our cost of sales may increase, our margins may be lower and our sales may be less predictable, (iii) if we fail to meet publicly announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business, our stock could decline in value, (iv) the average sales prices for our server solutions could decline if customers do not continue to purchase our latest generation products or additional components, and (v) adverse economic conditions may harm our business. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested in any forward looking statements are contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in such filings, particularly in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed thereafter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP gross margin discussed in this press release adds back stock-based compensation expenses and other expenses. Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share discussed in this press release adds back stock-based compensation expenses, litigation settlement costs, special performance bonuses and litigation expense (recovery), adjusted for the related tax effects. Management presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP gross margin to non-GAAP gross margin and from GAAP diluted net income per common share to non-GAAP diluted net income per common share is included in the tables below.
