SAN JOSE, Calif. - NetApp Inc. (NASDAQ:NTAP ) reported better-than-expected first quarter results and raised its full-year guidance on Wednesday, as the data storage company saw strong demand for its cloud and all-flash array offerings.

The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.56 per share for the quarter ended July 26, surpassing analyst estimates of $1.45 per share. Revenue rose 8% YoY to $1.54 billion, slightly above the $1.53 billion consensus.

"We started fiscal year 2025 on a high note, delivering strong revenue growth and setting records for first quarter operating margin and EPS," said CEO George Kurian.

NetApp's all-flash array annualized net revenue run rate grew 21% YoY to $3.4 billion. The company also saw approximately 40% YoY growth in its first party and marketplace cloud storage services revenue.

For the second quarter, NetApp expects adjusted EPS of $1.73-$1.83 on revenue of $1.565-$1.715 billion, both above analyst projections.
