PART III — NARRATIVE
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (the “Company”) is not in a position to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2017 (the “Form 10-Q”), in a timely manner because the Registrant cannot complete the Form 10-Q in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. As previously announced, the Company has been unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 (the “Form 10-K”) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 (“Q1 10-Q”). The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has completed the previously disclosed investigation. Additional time is required to analyze the impact, if any, of the results of the investigation on the Company’s historical financial statements, as well as to conduct additional reviews before the Company will be able to finalize the Form 10-K. The Company is unable at this time to provide a date as to when the Form 10-K will be filed or to determine whether the Company’s historical financial statements will be adjusted or, if so, the amount of any such adjustment(s) and what periods any such adjustments may impact. The Form 10-Q cannot be completed and filed until the Form 10-K and Q1 10-Q are completed and filed. The Company does not expect the filing to be made within the time period required for a timely filing pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30 and December 31, 2017 promptly after filing the Form 10-K.

If answer is no, identify report(s). ¨ Yes x No
The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 have not yet been filed. |
|
| |
(3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ¨ Yes x No |
| |
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
On January 30, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing certain preliminary financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. A copy of the press release was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 30, 2018. In the press release, the Company announced the following:
| |
• | The Company expects to report net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 in the range of $840 million to $850 million, compared to net sales in the corresponding period for the prior fiscal year of $652.0 million. |
| |
• | The Company expects to report GAAP gross margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 in the range of 13.2% to 13.4%, compared to GAAP gross margin in the corresponding period for the prior fiscal year of 14.3%. |
| |
• | The Company expects to report GAAP fully diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.05 to $0.09, compared to GAAP fully diluted earnings per share in the corresponding period for the prior fiscal year of $0.43. |
The unaudited interim financial information presented above is preliminary and subject to change. The final financial results reported for this period may differ from the results reported in this Form 12b-25 as a result of the Audit Committee investigation and additional reviews discussed in Part III above.
The statements included in this Form 12b-25 regarding our financial performance and results of operations, in each case as expected to be reported and other statements that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include the results and finalization of the Company’s financial statements, audit and reviews, including the impact, if any, of the results of the Audit Committee investigation on the Company’s financial statements and the impact of such investigation and delayed SEC report filings on the Company’s business, together with those described under Risk Factors in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
