The company generated $363 million in cash from operations during the June quarter, ending with total cash and cash equivalents of $2.7 billion.

For fiscal year 2010, the company posted revenue of $9.8 billion and net income of $1.4 billion, or $5.93 per share, compared to revenue of $7.5 billion and net income of $470 million, or $2.08 per share, for the prior year.

In fiscal year 2010, WD grew revenue 32 percent and increased its operating income by 194 percent year-on-year.
"Despite softer than anticipated June quarter demand, fiscal year 2010 was another year of significant growth and profitability for Western Digital," said John Coyne, president and chief executive officer. "The long-term demand for low-cost, high-volume storage driven by the proliferation of data and content-hungry consumer and commercial devices remains strong. With our focus on customer needs, quality, low cost, and high asset efficiency in the highest growth markets, we believe WD is well positioned to continue to generate growth on a sustained and profitable basis."
