During the same quarter in the prior year, the firm posted $0.29 earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Everpure’s conference call:

• Revenue rose 35% year over year and operating profit nearly doubled to $159 million, both ahead of the high end of guidance. Management said broad-based demand strength across enterprise, commercial, and geographies drove the beat.
• Full-year fiscal 2027 guidance was raised to $4.41 billion-$4.51 billion in revenue and $820 million-$860 million in operating profit. Executives said the higher outlook reflects strong Q1 execution, a healthy pipeline, and continued momentum, though they remain cautious on second-half visibility.
• Evergreen//One and Purity Fusion are gaining traction, with Evergreen//One sales up 73% and Purity Fusion adoption doubling to more than 1,200 customers. Management argued the supply-chain crisis is making the storage-as-a-service model more attractive because it lowers upfront cost and smooths customer spending.
• AI and hyperscale opportunities remain key growth drivers, but most hyperscale revenue is expected in the second half of the year after qualification and supply constraints are resolved. The company also highlighted FlashBlade//EXA wins and said it is investing heavily to qualify more NAND for hyperscalers and cloud providers.
• Margins are under pressure from surging component costs and ongoing shortages, with product gross margin at 65.5% and management expecting only a gradual recovery. The company said it has shortened quote validity to 30 days and is still seeing rapidly changing pricing conditions across NAND and memory markets.
