Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. � FQ3 2025 (quarter ended 30 May 2025)

The first quarterly report issued after the U.S. redomiciliation (30 Jun 2025) shows continued top-line expansion but mixed bottom-line results as the company absorbs restructuring and financing costs.

  • Revenue momentum: Net sales grew 7.9 % YoY to $324.3 million (nine-month YTD +20 % to $1.03 billion). Growth was driven by product sales (+11 % YoY) while service revenue slipped 2.9 %.
  • Margins: Quarterly gross margin eased 30 bp to 29.3 %. An $5.3 million goodwill impairment related to the wind-down of the Penguin Edge business pushed operating margin down to 3.0 % (vs 3.8 %).
  • Earnings: GAAP net income attributable to common fell to $2.7 million (-53 % YoY). After $3.0 million preferred dividends tied to the SK Telecom $200 million convertible preferred investment, common shareholders posted a -$0.01 diluted EPS versus +$0.10 a year earlier. YTD diluted EPS improved to $0.18 (FY24 YTD: -$0.53) on higher sales and lower interest expense.
  • Cash & liquidity: Cash and equivalents surged to $709.9 million (Aug-24: $383.1 million) after the SKT investment, strong operating cash flow ($183.6 million YTD) and receipt of the $28.4 million deferred payment from the SMART Brazil sale. Current ratio stands at 2.6×.
  • Capital structure: Total debt is stable at $659.5 million; net cash improved to ~+$50 million. $300 million TLA matures 2027; first convertible notes maturity ($20 million) in 2026.
  • Shareholder returns: 2.46 million shares repurchased for $40.9 million YTD; $36.8 million remains under the $75 million January 2024 authorization.
  • Corporate actions: � Completed redomiciliation to Delaware; Nasdaq ticker unchanged (PENG) effective 1 Jul 2025. � Continued wind-down of Penguin Edge expected to fully impair remaining $4.7 million goodwill by end-2025.

Outlook considerations

  • Management expects positive free cash flow from the Edge wind-down but acknowledges further goodwill charges.
  • Preferred dividends (6 % PIK/cash) will pressure EPS until potential conversion or redemption (earliest 2029 at company option).
  • Remaining share-buyback flexibility, robust cash and lighter interest burden offer balance-sheet optionality.

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. � FQ3 2025 (trimestre terminato il 30 maggio 2025)

Il primo rapporto trimestrale pubblicato dopo la ricollocazione negli Stati Uniti (30 giugno 2025) mostra una continua espansione del fatturato ma risultati contrastanti a livello di utile netto, a causa dei costi di ristrutturazione e finanziamento sostenuti dall’azienda.

  • Andamento dei ricavi: Le vendite nette sono cresciute del 7,9% su base annua, raggiungendo 324,3 milioni di dollari (9 mesi cumulati +20% a 1,03 miliardi). La crescita è stata trainata dalle vendite di prodotti (+11% anno su anno), mentre i ricavi dei servizi sono diminuiti del 2,9%.
  • Margini: Il margine lordo trimestrale si è ridotto di 30 punti base al 29,3%. Una impairment di 5,3 milioni di dollari sul goodwill, legata alla chiusura dell’attività Penguin Edge, ha abbassato il margine operativo al 3,0% (dal 3,8%).
  • Utile: L’utile netto GAAP attribuibile alle azioni ordinarie è sceso a 2,7 milioni di dollari (-53% anno su anno). Dopo 3,0 milioni di dollari di dividendi preferenziali legati all’investimento convertibile da 200 milioni di SK Telecom, l’utile per azione diluito ordinario è risultato negativo per 0,01 dollari rispetto a +0,10 dollari dell’anno precedente. L’utile per azione diluito cumulato è migliorato a 0,18 dollari (FY24 YTD: -0,53) grazie a vendite più elevate e minori oneri finanziari.
  • ܾ徱à: La liquidità e equivalenti è salita a 709,9 milioni di dollari (agosto 2024: 383,1 milioni) in seguito all’investimento SK Telecom, a un forte flusso di cassa operativo (183,6 milioni YTD) e alla ricezione di un pagamento differito di 28,4 milioni dalla vendita di SMART Brazil. Il rapporto corrente è di 2,6×.
  • Struttura del capitale: Il debito totale è stabile a 659,5 milioni di dollari; la posizione di cassa netta è migliorata a circa +50 milioni. Il TLA da 300 milioni scade nel 2027; la prima scadenza delle note convertibili (20 milioni) è prevista per il 2026.
  • Ritorno per gli azionisti: Sono state riacquistate 2,46 milioni di azioni per 40,9 milioni di dollari YTD; restano 36,8 milioni disponibili nell’autorizzazione da 75 milioni di gennaio 2024.
  • Azioni societarie: � Completata la ricollocazione in Delaware; il ticker Nasdaq rimane invariato (PENG) dal 1° luglio 2025. � Prosegue la chiusura di Penguin Edge, con l’impatto totale del goodwill residuo di 4,7 milioni previsto entro fine 2025.

Considerazioni sul futuro

  • La direzione prevede un flusso di cassa libero positivo dalla chiusura di Edge, pur riconoscendo ulteriori svalutazioni di goodwill.
  • I dividendi preferenziali (6% PIK/cash) continueranno a pesare sull’utile per azione fino a una possibile conversione o rimborso (non prima del 2029 a discrezione della società).
  • La flessibilità residua nel riacquisto azionario, la solida liquidità e il minor onere degli interessi offrono margini di manovra sul bilancio.

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. � FQ3 2025 (trimestre finalizado el 30 de mayo de 2025)

El primer informe trimestral emitido tras la reubicación en EE.UU. (30 de junio de 2025) muestra una continua expansión de ingresos pero resultados mixtos en la línea final, debido a los costos de reestructuración y financiamiento asumidos por la empresa.

  • Impulso de ingresos: Las ventas netas crecieron un 7,9% interanual hasta 324,3 millones de dólares (nueve meses acumulados +20% a 1.030 millones). El crecimiento fue impulsado por las ventas de productos (+11% interanual), mientras que los ingresos por servicios disminuyeron un 2,9%.
  • áԱ: El margen bruto trimestral disminuyó 30 puntos básicos hasta el 29,3%. Un impairment de 5,3 millones de dólares relacionado con la liquidación del negocio Penguin Edge redujo el margen operativo al 3,0% (desde 3,8%).
  • Ganancias: El ingreso neto GAAP atribuible a acciones comunes cayó a 2,7 millones de dólares (-53% interanual). Tras 3,0 millones de dólares en dividendos preferentes vinculados a la inversión convertible de 200 millones de SK Telecom, los accionistas comunes reportaron un EPS diluido de -0,01 dólares frente a +0,10 dólares un año antes. El EPS diluido acumulado mejoró a 0,18 dólares (FY24 YTD: -0,53) gracias a mayores ventas y menores gastos por intereses.
  • Efectivo y liquidez: El efectivo y equivalentes aumentaron a 709,9 millones de dólares (ago-24: 383,1 millones) tras la inversión de SKT, fuerte flujo de caja operativo (183,6 millones YTD) y la recepción de un pago diferido de 28,4 millones por la venta de SMART Brazil. La ratio corriente es de 2,6×.
  • Estructura de capital: La deuda total se mantiene estable en 659,5 millones de dólares; el efectivo neto mejoró a aproximadamente +50 millones. El TLA de 300 millones vence en 2027; la primera madurez de notas convertibles (20 millones) es en 2026.
  • Devoluciones a accionistas: Se recompraron 2,46 millones de acciones por 40,9 millones de dólares YTD; quedan 36,8 millones disponibles bajo la autorización de 75 millones de enero de 2024.
  • Acciones corporativas: � Completada la reubicación a Delaware; el ticker Nasdaq permanece sin cambios (PENG) desde el 1 de julio de 2025. � Continúa la liquidación de Penguin Edge con la amortización total del goodwill restante de 4,7 millones prevista para finales de 2025.

Consideraciones para el futuro

  • La dirección espera flujo de caja libre positivo por la liquidación de Edge, aunque reconoce cargos adicionales por goodwill.
  • Los dividendos preferentes (6% PIK/efectivo) presionarán el EPS hasta una posible conversión o redención (no antes de 2029 a opción de la empresa).
  • La flexibilidad restante en la recompra de acciones, la sólida liquidez y la menor carga de intereses ofrecen opciones para el balance.

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. � T3 2025 (trimestre clos le 30 mai 2025)

Le premier rapport trimestriel publié après la redomiciliation aux États-Unis (30 juin 2025) montre une poursuite de la croissance du chiffre d'affaires mais des résultats nets mitigés, la société absorbant des coûts de restructuration et de financement.

  • Dynamiques des revenus : Les ventes nettes ont augmenté de 7,9 % en glissement annuel pour atteindre 324,3 millions de dollars (9 mois cumulés +20 % à 1,03 milliard). La croissance a été portée par les ventes de produits (+11 % en glissement annuel) tandis que les revenus de services ont reculé de 2,9 %.
  • Marges : La marge brute trimestrielle s’est légèrement repliée de 30 points de base à 29,3 %. Une dépréciation du goodwill de 5,3 millions de dollars liée à la cessation progressive de l’activité Penguin Edge a fait chuter la marge opérationnelle à 3,0 % (contre 3,8 %).
  • Résultats : Le résultat net GAAP attribuable aux actions ordinaires a chuté à 2,7 millions de dollars (-53 % en glissement annuel). Après 3,0 millions de dollars de dividendes préférentiels liés à l’investissement convertible de 200 millions de SK Telecom, les actionnaires ordinaires ont enregistré un BPA dilué de -0,01 dollar contre +0,10 dollar un an plus tôt. Le BPA dilué cumulé s’est amélioré à 0,18 dollar (FY24 cumul : -0,53) grâce à la hausse des ventes et à la baisse des charges d’intérêts.
  • Trésorerie et liquidités : La trésorerie et les équivalents ont bondi à 709,9 millions de dollars (août 2024 : 383,1 millions) après l’investissement SKT, un solide flux de trésorerie opérationnel (183,6 millions cumulés) et la réception d’un paiement différé de 28,4 millions lié à la vente de SMART Brazil. Le ratio de liquidité courante s’établit à 2,6×.
  • Structure du capital : La dette totale est stable à 659,5 millions de dollars ; la trésorerie nette s’est améliorée à environ +50 millions. La ligne de crédit TLA de 300 millions arrive à échéance en 2027 ; la première échéance des obligations convertibles (20 millions) est prévue en 2026.
  • Rendements aux actionnaires : 2,46 millions d’actions rachetées pour 40,9 millions de dollars cumulés ; il reste 36,8 millions disponibles dans l’autorisation de 75 millions de janvier 2024.
  • Actions corporatives : � Redomiciliation achevée dans le Delaware ; le ticker Nasdaq reste inchangé (PENG) à compter du 1er juillet 2025. � Poursuite de la cessation progressive de Penguin Edge avec une dépréciation totale du goodwill restant de 4,7 millions prévue d’ici fin 2025.

Perspectives

  • La direction prévoit un flux de trésorerie libre positif lié à la cessation d’Edge, tout en anticipant d’autres charges de goodwill.
  • Les dividendes préférentiels (6 % PIK/cash) exerceront une pression sur le BPA jusqu’� une éventuelle conversion ou rachat (au plus tôt en 2029 à l’initiative de la société).
  • La flexibilité restante en matière de rachat d’actions, une trésorerie solide et une charge d’intérêts allégée offrent des options sur la structure financière.

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. � FQ3 2025 (Quartal zum 30. Mai 2025)

Der erste Quartalsbericht nach der US-Umfirmierung (30. Juni 2025) zeigt weiterhin ein Umsatzwachstum, jedoch gemischte Ergebnisse beim Nettogewinn, da das Unternehmen Restrukturierungs- und Finanzierungskosten trägt.

  • Umsatzentwicklung: Der Nettoumsatz stieg im Jahresvergleich um 7,9 % auf 324,3 Millionen US-Dollar (9 Monate kumuliert +20 % auf 1,03 Milliarden). Das Wachstum wurde durch Produktverkäufe (+11 % YoY) getrieben, während die Serviceerlöse um 2,9 % zurückgingen.
  • Margen: Die Bruttomarge im Quartal sank um 30 Basispunkte auf 29,3 %. Eine Goodwill-Abschreibung von 5,3 Millionen US-Dollar im Zusammenhang mit der Abwicklung des Penguin Edge-Geschäfts drückte die operative Marge auf 3,0 % (vorher 3,8 %).
  • Ergebnis: Der GAAP-Nettogewinn, der den Stammaktionären zuzurechnen ist, fiel auf 2,7 Millionen US-Dollar (-53 % YoY). Nach 3,0 Millionen US-Dollar Vorzugsdividenden im Zusammenhang mit der 200-Millionen-US-Dollar-Wandelschuldverschreibung von SK Telecom wiesen die Stammaktionäre ein verwässertes Ergebnis je Aktie von -0,01 US-Dollar gegenüber +0,10 US-Dollar im Vorjahr aus. Das kumulierte verwässerte Ergebnis je Aktie verbesserte sich auf 0,18 US-Dollar (FY24 YTD: -0,53) aufgrund höherer Umsätze und geringerer Zinsaufwendungen.
  • Barmittel & Liquidität: Barmittel und Zahlungsmitteläquivalente stiegen auf 709,9 Millionen US-Dollar (Aug-24: 383,1 Millionen) nach der SKT-Investition, starkem operativen Cashflow (183,6 Millionen YTD) und dem Eingang einer aufgeschobenen Zahlung von 28,4 Millionen aus dem Verkauf von SMART Brazil. Die Liquiditätskennzahl liegt bei 2,6×.
  • Kapitalstruktur: Die Gesamtschulden bleiben stabil bei 659,5 Millionen US-Dollar; die Nettoliquidität verbesserte sich auf etwa +50 Millionen. Die 300-Millionen-TLA läuft 2027 aus; die erste Fälligkeit der Wandelanleihen (20 Millionen) ist 2026.
  • پDzäԻ徱ٱ: 2,46 Millionen Aktien wurden für 40,9 Millionen US-Dollar YTD zurückgekauft; es verbleiben 36,8 Millionen unter der Genehmigung von 75 Millionen aus Januar 2024.
  • ԳٱԱ󳾱ԲßԲ󳾱: � Umfirmierung nach Delaware abgeschlossen; Nasdaq-Ticker bleibt ab 1. Juli 2025 unverändert (PENG). � Fortgesetzte Abwicklung von Penguin Edge, vollständige Goodwill-Abschreibung von verbleibenden 4,7 Millionen bis Ende 2025 erwartet.

Ausblick

  • Das Management erwartet positiven freien Cashflow aus der Edge-Abwicklung, erkennt aber weitere Goodwill-Abschreibungen an.
  • Vorzugsdividenden (6 % PIK/Bar) werden das Ergebnis je Aktie belasten, bis eine mögliche Umwandlung oder Rückzahlung erfolgt (frühestens 2029 nach Unternehmensoption).
  • Verbleibende Flexibilität beim Aktienrückkauf, solide Liquidität und geringere Zinsbelastung bieten Optionen für die Bilanz.
Positive
  • Revenue up 7.9 % YoY to $324 million, with YTD sales topping $1 billion for the first time.
  • Operating cash flow jumped 56 % YoY to $183.6 million, reinforcing liquidity.
  • Cash & equivalents nearly doubled to $710 million, turning the company net-cash positive.
  • SK Telecom $200 million preferred investment strengthens strategic AI partnership and capital base.
  • Share buybacks of $40.9 million signal confidence while leaving $36.8 million authorized.
Negative
  • Quarterly diluted EPS turned to a loss of $-0.01 due to preferred dividends and impairment.
  • Goodwill impairment of $11.4 million YTD highlights challenges in the Penguin Edge segment.
  • Tax provision rose sharply to $7.3 million vs a benefit last year, pressuring net income.
  • Service revenue declined 3 % YoY, softening overall growth.
  • High leverage remains with $659 million total debt and a $300 million term loan maturing 2027.

Insights

TL;DR—Solid revenue growth and cash build offset by small EPS loss; neutral overall.

Performance: 8 % quarterly sales growth is healthy given the tougher macro backdrop, and YTD operating income quadrupled. However, narrower gross margin, goodwill impairment and the new preferred dividend swung EPS to a one-cent loss. Investors will weigh the sustainability of 30 %+ product gross margin against anticipated Edge impairment charges.

Balance sheet: The $710 million cash reserve (�40 % of assets) and positive net cash position meaningfully de-risk the $300 million TLA and staggered convert maturities. Lower interest expense (-$5.6 million YoY) already shows the benefit of last year’s note repurchase.

Capital allocation: Management deployed $49 million on buybacks while still generating $180 million FCF, highlighting ample liquidity. Yet preferred dividends reduce distributable earnings, effectively raising the cost of capital to common holders until conversion.

Valuation impact: Modest quarterly miss on EPS but improving YTD trajectory and cash inflow from Brazil sale keep the thesis intact. I view the filing as neutral for the stock near term.

TL;DR—Edge wind-down progressing; core advanced-computing sales resilient.

The impairment confirms Penguin Edge’s planned sunset by end-2025, but the relatively small $5 million charge suggests inventory and contractual exposure are well managed. Product revenue growth indicates strong demand in advanced computing (AI server builds) and integrated memory despite lapping a 53-week FY24 period.

Service revenue softness (-3 % YoY) is typical as hardware mix shifts, but the 30 % service gross margin remains attractive. Watch for continued mix improvement as Stratus integration benefits materialise.

Overall, the operational signals are positive, though investors should monitor customer concentration and component availability as order volumes climb.

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. � T3 2025 (trimestre clos le 30 mai 2025)

Le premier rapport trimestriel publié après la redomiciliation aux États-Unis (30 juin 2025) montre une poursuite de la croissance du chiffre d'affaires mais des résultats nets mitigés, la société absorbant des coûts de restructuration et de financement.

  • Dynamiques des revenus : Les ventes nettes ont augmenté de 7,9 % en glissement annuel pour atteindre 324,3 millions de dollars (9 mois cumulés +20 % à 1,03 milliard). La croissance a été portée par les ventes de produits (+11 % en glissement annuel) tandis que les revenus de services ont reculé de 2,9 %.
  • Marges : La marge brute trimestrielle s’est légèrement repliée de 30 points de base à 29,3 %. Une dépréciation du goodwill de 5,3 millions de dollars liée à la cessation progressive de l’activité Penguin Edge a fait chuter la marge opérationnelle à 3,0 % (contre 3,8 %).
  • Résultats : Le résultat net GAAP attribuable aux actions ordinaires a chuté à 2,7 millions de dollars (-53 % en glissement annuel). Après 3,0 millions de dollars de dividendes préférentiels liés à l’investissement convertible de 200 millions de SK Telecom, les actionnaires ordinaires ont enregistré un BPA dilué de -0,01 dollar contre +0,10 dollar un an plus tôt. Le BPA dilué cumulé s’est amélioré à 0,18 dollar (FY24 cumul : -0,53) grâce à la hausse des ventes et à la baisse des charges d’intérêts.
  • Trésorerie et liquidités : La trésorerie et les équivalents ont bondi à 709,9 millions de dollars (août 2024 : 383,1 millions) après l’investissement SKT, un solide flux de trésorerie opérationnel (183,6 millions cumulés) et la réception d’un paiement différé de 28,4 millions lié à la vente de SMART Brazil. Le ratio de liquidité courante s’établit à 2,6×.
  • Structure du capital : La dette totale est stable à 659,5 millions de dollars ; la trésorerie nette s’est améliorée à environ +50 millions. La ligne de crédit TLA de 300 millions arrive à échéance en 2027 ; la première échéance des obligations convertibles (20 millions) est prévue en 2026.
  • Rendements aux actionnaires : 2,46 millions d’actions rachetées pour 40,9 millions de dollars cumulés ; il reste 36,8 millions disponibles dans l’autorisation de 75 millions de janvier 2024.
  • Actions corporatives : � Redomiciliation achevée dans le Delaware ; le ticker Nasdaq reste inchangé (PENG) à compter du 1er juillet 2025. � Poursuite de la cessation progressive de Penguin Edge avec une dépréciation totale du goodwill restant de 4,7 millions prévue d’ici fin 2025.

Perspectives

  • La direction prévoit un flux de trésorerie libre positif lié à la cessation d’Edge, tout en anticipant d’autres charges de goodwill.
  • Les dividendes préférentiels (6 % PIK/cash) exerceront une pression sur le BPA jusqu’� une éventuelle conversion ou rachat (au plus tôt en 2029 à l’initiative de la société).
  • La flexibilité restante en matière de rachat d’actions, une trésorerie solide et une charge d’intérêts allégée offrent des options sur la structure financière.

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. � FQ3 2025 (Quartal zum 30. Mai 2025)

Der erste Quartalsbericht nach der US-Umfirmierung (30. Juni 2025) zeigt weiterhin ein Umsatzwachstum, jedoch gemischte Ergebnisse beim Nettogewinn, da das Unternehmen Restrukturierungs- und Finanzierungskosten trägt.

  • Umsatzentwicklung: Der Nettoumsatz stieg im Jahresvergleich um 7,9 % auf 324,3 Millionen US-Dollar (9 Monate kumuliert +20 % auf 1,03 Milliarden). Das Wachstum wurde durch Produktverkäufe (+11 % YoY) getrieben, während die Serviceerlöse um 2,9 % zurückgingen.
  • Margen: Die Bruttomarge im Quartal sank um 30 Basispunkte auf 29,3 %. Eine Goodwill-Abschreibung von 5,3 Millionen US-Dollar im Zusammenhang mit der Abwicklung des Penguin Edge-Geschäfts drückte die operative Marge auf 3,0 % (vorher 3,8 %).
  • Ergebnis: Der GAAP-Nettogewinn, der den Stammaktionären zuzurechnen ist, fiel auf 2,7 Millionen US-Dollar (-53 % YoY). Nach 3,0 Millionen US-Dollar Vorzugsdividenden im Zusammenhang mit der 200-Millionen-US-Dollar-Wandelschuldverschreibung von SK Telecom wiesen die Stammaktionäre ein verwässertes Ergebnis je Aktie von -0,01 US-Dollar gegenüber +0,10 US-Dollar im Vorjahr aus. Das kumulierte verwässerte Ergebnis je Aktie verbesserte sich auf 0,18 US-Dollar (FY24 YTD: -0,53) aufgrund höherer Umsätze und geringerer Zinsaufwendungen.
  • Barmittel & Liquidität: Barmittel und Zahlungsmitteläquivalente stiegen auf 709,9 Millionen US-Dollar (Aug-24: 383,1 Millionen) nach der SKT-Investition, starkem operativen Cashflow (183,6 Millionen YTD) und dem Eingang einer aufgeschobenen Zahlung von 28,4 Millionen aus dem Verkauf von SMART Brazil. Die Liquiditätskennzahl liegt bei 2,6×.
  • Kapitalstruktur: Die Gesamtschulden bleiben stabil bei 659,5 Millionen US-Dollar; die Nettoliquidität verbesserte sich auf etwa +50 Millionen. Die 300-Millionen-TLA läuft 2027 aus; die erste Fälligkeit der Wandelanleihen (20 Millionen) ist 2026.
  • پDzäԻ徱ٱ: 2,46 Millionen Aktien wurden für 40,9 Millionen US-Dollar YTD zurückgekauft; es verbleiben 36,8 Millionen unter der Genehmigung von 75 Millionen aus Januar 2024.
  • ԳٱԱ󳾱ԲßԲ󳾱: � Umfirmierung nach Delaware abgeschlossen; Nasdaq-Ticker bleibt ab 1. Juli 2025 unverändert (PENG). � Fortgesetzte Abwicklung von Penguin Edge, vollständige Goodwill-Abschreibung von verbleibenden 4,7 Millionen bis Ende 2025 erwartet.

Ausblick

  • Das Management erwartet positiven freien Cashflow aus der Edge-Abwicklung, erkennt aber weitere Goodwill-Abschreibungen an.
  • Vorzugsdividenden (6 % PIK/Bar) werden das Ergebnis je Aktie belasten, bis eine mögliche Umwandlung oder Rückzahlung erfolgt (frühestens 2029 nach Unternehmensoption).
  • Verbleibende Flexibilität beim Aktienrückkauf, solide Liquidität und geringere Zinsbelastung bieten Optionen für die Bilanz.

SELECTED RISK CONSIDERATIONS

Your investment in the notes will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying prospectus supplement as well as the other information contained in the prospectus supplement and prospectus, including the documents they incorporate by reference. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the notes in light of your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To The Notes Generally

The Amount Of Interest You Receive May Be Less Than The Return You Could Earn On Other Investments.

Interest rates may change significantly over the term of the notes, and it is impossible to predict what interest rates will be at any point in the future. The interest rate payable on the notes may be more or less than prevailing market interest rates at any time during the term of the notes. As a result, the amount of interest you receive on the notes may be less than the return you could earn on other investments.

The Per Annum Interest Rate Will Affect Our Decision To Redeem The Notes.

It is more likely that we will redeem the notes prior to the stated maturity date during periods when the remaining interest is to accrue on the notes at a rate that is greater than that which we would pay on a conventional fixed-rate non-redeemable note of comparable maturity. If we redeem the notes prior to the stated maturity date, you may not be able to invest in other notes that yield as much interest as the notes.

An Investment In The Notes May Be More Risky Than An Investment In Notes With A Shorter Term.

The notes have a relatively long term to maturity, subject to our right to redeem the notes on the optional redemption dates. By purchasing notes with a longer term, you will bear greater exposure to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a note with a shorter term. In particular, you may be negatively affected if interest rates begin to rise because the likelihood that we will redeem your notes will decrease and the interest rate payable on the notes may be less than the amount of interest you could earn on other investments available at such time. In addition, if you tried to sell your notes at such time, the value of your notes in any secondary market transaction would also be adversely affected.

Holders Of The Notes Have Limited Rights Of Acceleration.

Holders Of The Notes Could Be At Greater Risk For Being Structurally Subordinated If We Convey, Transfer Or Lease All Or Substantially All Of Our Assets To One Or More Of Our Subsidiaries.

Risks Relating To An Investment In Wells Fargo’s Debt Securities, Including The Notes

The Notes Are Subject To The Credit Risk Of Wells Fargo.

The notes are our obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under the notes are subject to our creditworthiness. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the value of the notes and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the notes.

Our Ability To Service Our Debt, Including The Notes, May Be Limited By The Results Of Operations Of Our Subsidiaries And Certain Contractual Arrangements.

The Resolution Of Wells Fargo Under The Orderly Liquidation Authority Could Result In Greater Losses For Holders Of Our Debt Securities, Including The Notes, Particularly If A Single-Point-Of-Entry Strategy Is Used.

The Resolution Of Wells Fargo In A Bankruptcy Proceeding Could Also Result in Greater Losses For Holders Of Our Debt Securities, Including The Notes.

 

PRS-3

 

Risks Relating To The Value Of The Notes And Any Secondary Market

The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect The Price At Which You Can Sell Your Notes.

Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the notes will likely be lower than the original offering price. The original offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, the agent discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses and the projected profit that our hedge counterparty (which may be one of our affiliates) expects to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction. The price at which the agent or any other potential buyer may be willing to buy your notes will also be affected by the interest rate provided by the notes and by the market and other conditions discussed in the next risk factor.

The Value Of The Notes Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the notes prior to stated maturity will be affected by interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, among others, are expected to affect the value of the notes. When we refer to the “value” of your note, we mean the value that you could receive for your note if you are able to sell it in the open market before the stated maturity date.

Interest Rates. The value of the notes may be affected by changes in the interest rates in the U.S. markets.

Our Creditworthiness. Actual or anticipated changes in our creditworthiness may affect the value of the notes. However, because the return on the notes is dependent upon factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations under the notes, such as whether we exercise our option to redeem the notes, an improvement in our creditworthiness will not reduce the other investment risks related to the notes.

The Notes Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Notes To Develop.

The notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although the agent and/or its affiliates may purchase the notes from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the notes. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to sell your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the agent is willing to buy your notes.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your notes prior to stated maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the notes to stated maturity.

Risk Relating To Conflicts Of Interest

A Dealer Participating In The Offering Of The Notes Or Its Affiliates May AG˹ٷize Hedging Profits Projected By Its Proprietary Pricing Models In Addition To Any Selling Concession, Creating A Further Incentive For The Participating Dealer To Sell The Notes To You.

If any dealer participating in the offering of the notes, which we refer to as a “participating dealer,” or any of its affiliates conducts hedging activities for us in connection with the notes, that participating dealer or its affiliates will expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, if any, and this projected hedging profit will be in addition to any concession that the participating dealer realizes for the sale of the notes to you. This additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the notes to you.

 

PRS-4

 

UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the notes will be treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We expect the “issue price” of the notes to be equal to their stated principal amount. Assuming that the notes’ issue price is equal to the stated principal amount, the notes will be issued without original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the issue price of the notes will be determined on the pricing date. If the notes’ stated principal amount exceeds their issue price by more than a de minimis amount, the notes would be issued with OID, in which case a U.S. holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) would generally be required to recognize the OID in income in advance of the receipt of the related cash payments.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the notes should read the discussion under “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for more information.

 

PRS-5

 

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The original offering price is $1,000 per note; provided that the original offering price for an eligible institutional investor and an investor purchasing the notes in a fee-based advisory account will vary based on then-current market conditions and the negotiated price determined at the time of each sale. The original offering price for such investors will not be less than $982.50 per note and will not be more than $1,000 per note. The original offering price for such investors reflects a foregone selling concession with respect to such sales as described in the next paragraph.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company, is the agent for the distribution of the notes. The agent may resell the notes to other securities dealers at the original offering price of $1,000 per note less a concession not in excess of the agent discount. Such securities dealers may include Wells Fargo Advisors (the trade name of the retail brokerage business of our affiliates, Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC). Wells Fargo Securities LLC will receive an agent discount of up to $17.50 per note, and from such agent discount will allow selected dealers a selling concession of up to $17.50 per note depending on market conditions that are relevant to the value of the notes at the time an order to purchase the notes is submitted to the agent. Dealers who purchase the notes for sales to eligible institutional investors and fee-based advisory accounts may forgo some or all selling concessions.

The agent or another affiliate of ours expects to realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models to the extent it assumes the risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes. If any dealer participating in the distribution of the notes or any of its affiliates conducts hedging activities for us in connection with the notes, that dealer or its affiliate will expect to realize a profit projected by its proprietary pricing models from such hedging activities. Any such projected profit will be in addition to any discount or concession received in connection with the sale of the notes to you.
