This solid quarter reflects better than expected desktop pricing during the quarter, the successful transition of Maxtor customers to more cost-effective, higher margin Seagate products, and continued operational excellence. With the Maxtor integration substantially complete and exciting new products hitting the market in the current quarter, Seagate is on a path to further increase profitability in the traditionally slower back half of the fiscal year.

“During the December quarter, we shipped a record 7 million disc drives for consumer electronics applications, increased our shipments into the mobile compute market by 52% year-over-year, and continued to solidify our substantial lead in the enterprise and desktop markets. Additional highlights of the quarter include the start of OEM qualification of Seagate’s 1.8-inch products; the successful launch of the re-branded Seagate and Maxtor external storage products which included four new Seagate external storage solutions; and the expansion of Seagate’s services business with the announced acquisition of EVault, Inc. Our employees have much to be proud of as I believe Seagate’s product and operational execution, as well as the company’s market presence and visibility, have never been stronger. We have laid the foundation for continued success and growing profitability in 2007.” Additional information relating to the financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2007 can be found online at seagate.com.
