Insights

Pure Storage posts strong Q2 with 13% revenue growth, raises full-year guidance amid solid enterprise adoption of its platform strategy.

Pure Storage delivered solid Q2 results with revenue reaching $861 million, a 13% year-over-year increase, exceeding company guidance. The subscription business shows particularly strong momentum, with services revenue growing 15% to $414.7 million and subscription ARR climbing 18% to $1.8 billion. These metrics underscore the company's successful transition toward a recurring revenue model.

Profitability metrics demonstrate improved operational efficiency, with non-GAAP operating income of $130 million and a healthy non-GAAP operating margin of 15.1%. The $212.2 million in operating cash flow and $150.1 million free cash flow indicate strong cash generation capabilities, allowing the company to return $42 million to shareholders through share repurchases while maintaining a robust $1.5 billion cash position.

Looking forward, management has raised full-year guidance, projecting revenue between $3.60-3.63 billion (up from $3.515 billion), representing 13.5-14.5% year-over-year growth (up from 11%). Non-GAAP operating income guidance was also increased to $605-625 million from $595 million.

The improved outlook reflects strong customer adoption of Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud architecture and expanded product portfolio. New offerings like FlashArray//XL, FlashArray//ST, and FlashBlade//S target high-performance enterprise workloads, while innovations like Portworx for KubeVirt address the growing Kubernetes market. These product developments position Pure Storage well in the evolving enterprise data management landscape where organizations increasingly need flexible, unified storage solutions across block, file, and object storage.

"Our strong second quarter results demonstrate ever more customers' confidence in the value of the Pure Storage platform to advance their data storage and management now and into the future," said Pure Storage CEO and Chairman Charles Giancarlo.

  • Subscription annual recurring revenue (ARR) $1.8 billion, up 18% year-over-year

Key Performance Metrics

Subscription ARR is a key business metric that refers to total annualized contract value of all active subscription agreements on the last day of the quarter, plus on-demand revenue for the quarter multiplied by four.

Total Contract Value (TCV) Sales, or bookings, of Pure's Evergreen//One and similar consumption- and subscription-based offerings is an operating metric, representing the value of orders received during the period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, Pure uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses such as stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based activities, amortization of debt issuance costs related to debt, amortization of intangible assets acquired from acquisitions, restructuring costs related to severance and termination benefits, costs associated with the impairment and early exit of certain leased facilities, and unrealized gains and losses from mark-to-market adjustments on strategic investments that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. Pure believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation from net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow," included at the end of this release.
