Guidance: ATTA BOY!

With the usual conservatism applied, our outlook is as follows: For the second quarter, we expect revenue to be in the range of $376 million to $380 million, which represents 62% growth year-over-year at the midpoint. Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $49 million to $53 million, and non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.15 per share on an approximately 347 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

For the full fiscal year 2022, we expect revenue to be in the range of $1.6 billion to $1.62 billion, which represents 56% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $240 million to $260 million and non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.77 per share on an approximate 349 million weighted average diluted shares.

Now some notes on our guidance. First, when providing guidance, as usual, we use more conservative assumptions than historical performance.

Note on Guidance: Translation of guidance weasel words: Given our usual BEAT performance on Revenue Growth we are going to cream those numbers.

Market Reaction to Report: Stock sold off from the $111 range to the $87 range but only due to the Bear - Rallied some on Friday but still below report date price: OH POOP!
