TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 23, 2008, Western Digital Corporation (Western Digital) announced financial
results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2007. A copy of the press release making
this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A
copy of Western Digitals Investor Information Summary for the fiscal quarter ended December 28,
2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In Western Digitals press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and in its conference call
scheduled for 2:30 p.m. PDT/5:30 p.m. EDT today, Western Digital plans to report certain financial
information, including net income and earnings per share, on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis.
Western Digital believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in the press release and during the
conference call are useful to investors as they provide an alternative method for comparing Western
Digitals operating performance against the prior period, excluding non-recurring charges of $49
million and $60 million for in-process research and development and taxes, respectively, which
occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 2.02,
including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to
the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration
statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such
filing.
