Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 6, 2024, Fortinet, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K that included a press release reporting its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Original Form 8-K”). This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Original 8-K solely for the purpose of correcting a clerical error with respect to its guidance for the third quarter of 2024 and fiscal year of 2024 with respect to diluted non-GAAP net income per share. The Company currently expects diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of: (i) $0.50 to $0.52 for the third quarter of 2024 and (ii) $2.00 to $2.04 for fiscal year 2024.
A copy of the corrected press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “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, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Other than correction of the error discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K or the press release furnished therewith.
The Company’s guidance with respect to non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on intellectual property matters and non-cash charge on equity method investment of impairment. The Company has not reconciled its guidance with respect to non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
