Executive Summary

NetApp reported QQ3 2025 results that point to a healthy but mature profitability profile amid modest top-line pressure. Revenue totaled $1.641 billion, down 1.6% year over year and 1.0% quarter over quarter, with gross profit of $1.145 billion and a gross margin of 69.8%. Operating income reached $362 million, yielding an operating margin of 22.1%, while net income was $299 million and diluted EPS was $1.44 (GAAP) or $1.47 basic per share. EBITDA stood at $446 million (margin ~27.2%), underscoring a durable profitability framework even as the business absorbs ongoing investments in cloud-native data management and multi‑cloud solutions.

From a cash flow perspective, NetApp generated $385 million of operating cash flow and $338 million of free cash flow in the quarter. Free cash flow per share was $1.66, supporting a capital allocation strategy that included stock repurchases of $200 million and dividends of $106 million, while capital expenditures totaled $47 million to support product and platform enhancements. The balance sheet remains cash-rich with about $1.51 billion in cash and equivalents and a net debt position of roughly $0.74 billion, reflecting conservative leverage against a broad asset base and a diversified earnings mix.

Looking ahead, the company does not publish formal QQ4 guidance in the provided materials, but the trajectory suggests continued advancement in multi-cloud data services and intelligent data management as enterprise data gravity intensifies. The key questions for investors center on sustaining gross and operating margins amid competitive pressure, translating product breadth into revenue growth, and deploying capital efficiently to sustain free cash flow in a volatile spending environment.
