Item 8.01. Other Events
Quantum Corporation is updating its guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and reports that it now expects total revenue of $150 million to $155 million, exceeding the previously stated revenue guidance of $135 million to $140 million. The updated revenue guidance reflects a one-time cash payment of $15 million to Quantum from Microsoft Corporation pursuant to an intellectual property agreement the parties entered into in May. The payment will be recorded as royalty revenue and will positively impact first quarter fiscal 2014 gross margins as well.
