Business Outlook for 2FQ22
Comments
Global 1FQ22 revenue was $7.7 billion, down 7% Q/Q and up 33% Y/Y. Remember that outlook reported the former quarter was $7.65 billion ± $200 million
The sequential revenue decline was predominantly attributable to weakness related to non-memory component shortages at firm's customers.
75% of revenue comes from volume-based annual agreements, a significant increase from around 10% of revenue they represented 5 years ago.
Revenue by business unit
Revenue by technology
Revenue for the storage business unit was $1.2 billion, down 4% from 4FQ21 and up 26% Y/Y. Its profitability benefited in 1FQ22 from the progress made in ramping 176-layer node.
For NAND only
