NAND COST REDUCTION TRENDS

2005–2009: 45%-55% annual cost reductions;


 SLC MLC (~90% of bits)
 200mm 300mm, mega-fabs, automation, immersion lithography
 Unprecedented productivity thru rapid technology transitions

2010–2013: 25%-35% annual cost reductions;


 MLCX3 (~50% of bits)
 NAND technology more challenging at 1x nm, 1y nm
 EUV lithography will likely be required below 1x nm

3D R/W (READ/WRITE) MEMORY—
SCALABLE CROSS-POINT DIODE ARRAY
 Joint development with Toshiba,
now proceeding at Yokkaichi
 Making good progress with R/W
layer, but not yet ready for
production
 At x8 equivalent, and given our
knowhow in 3D diode arrays, we
believe 3D R/W is the most likely
successor for NAND in the
coming decade: could usher
second SSD wave

Source: IEDM 2009 Short Course, ―Low Power Approaches for Memories‖, by A. Nitayama

Page 18 Investor Day | February 26, 2010


NAND AND POST-NAND FABS
IN COMING DECADE
 Existing NAND mega-fabs at 1xnm will be highly depreciated, generating
attractive margins and throwing off long tail of cash
 New NAND mega-fabs will be pricey (~$8 billion for 200,000 wafers/month),
will need to support EUV, will need to adapt to post-NAND technologies
production
 Industry NAND transition SLCMLC took 3 years (20022005)
 Industry transition to post-NAND will be more complex, expect extended
period of overlapping NAND and post-NAND designs in production

Page 19 Investor Day | February 26, 2010


HOW WE STACK UP AGAINST NAND
COMPETITION
• SanDisk Flash Technology/Intellectual Property:
– 32nm: leader in X3, industry‘s most cost effective, 2010 work-horse
– 24nm: expect to lead with X3: production work-horse in 2011
– X4: shipping products, but limited applications
– Systems, Advanced controllers, AFM (Adaptive Flash Management):
uniquely advantaged relative to competition
– Security, Content: leadership position
– Die stacking: leading 8 die stacking in high volume (microSD™, iNAND™)
• Scale: Great partnership with Toshiba:
– Our Fab 3 + Fab 4 deliver ~ 35% of world‘s NAND output
• Flash Storage is really tough to do well. Leadership requires:
– Most advanced semi production technology applied on massive scale
– Rapid product innovations and strong IP.
• SanDisk: We do Flash right !

Page 20 Investor Day | February 26, 2010


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: STATUS
SAMSUNG CROSS-LICENSE:
 Seven-year patent cross license renewal with estimated effective
rate of the fixed payments and royalties at approximately 50% of
recent effective royalty rate
FLASH MEMORY PORTFOLIO:
 Wall Street Journal‘s Patent Board Scorecard ranked SanDisk # 2
in 2009 among the semiconductor companies it tracks, up from # 4
in 2008
 Licensed to ~85% of NAND industry output
CARDS:
 SD, microSD now account for~85% (and growing) of all cards
sold—royalties shared with SD 3C (Toshiba, Panasonic, SanDisk)
AS YET UNTAPPED LICENSING POTENTIAL:
 Extensive Systems/controllers, SSD, Mobile Security (content)
 Fundamental patents in 3D diode arrays (apply to most 3D
approaches)

Page 21 Investor Day | February 26, 2010


OUR FLASH CAPACITY PLANS

• We believe that growing demand should drive a healthy industry-wide


supply/demand balance in 2010, likely to continue into 2011
• We are focused on technology upgrades and X3 in Fab 3 and Fab 4
• In 2010/2011 we are planning to acquire our 50% of remaining
unused capacity in Fab 4, bringing our captive output to ~2 million
300mm wafers/year.
– We will leverage non captive sources when demand exceeds this captive
supply
• We project demand for NAND and 3D R/W to outstrip our captive and
non-captive supply sometime in the next few years
• Investment in new captive fab believed premature, will require healthy
demand/supply balance and ROIC:
– We will evaluate continuously and proceed with caution

COMING DECADE
• SSD adoption still in early stages: expect market acceleration in
2011 with 2x nm NAND, tipping point reached with1x nm NAND
• SSD will come in all kinds of form-factors (e.g. thin), optimized for
specific usage models, fostering new architectures/innovation
• SSD price elasticity will serve to correct industry excess supply
• We see SSD as playing to our strengths in Systems, IP and
captive supply, and expect to be a long term SSD participant

DEFINING SANDISK‘S LONG-TERM
TARGET FINANCIAL MODEL (LTFM)
 The LTFM is the P&L model we believe best balances:
– Growth, profitability & cash flow
 The LTFM is the P&L model we aim to achieve
 We will not be in the LTFM every year
– Industry & SanDisk subject to cyclicality
– In some years we will be below the LTFM, and in some years we will
exceed the LTFM

Page 211 Investor Day | February 26, 2010


KEY VARIABLES IMPACTING
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
• Variability in Pricing
–Industry supply/demand environment a key factor
• Timing of Technology Transitions and Mix of X2/X3
–Strong track record of execution
–Leader in X3
• Mix of Product Revenue and L&R Revenue
–Product revenue currently growing faster than L&R revenue
• Mix of Captive/Non-Captive Memory
–Higher non-captive mix results in:
•Lower gross margins
•Less capital investment required to meet demand
• Investment in Post-NAND technology
–Requires parallel R&D spending

• Mobile end market remains key growth driver
• Consumer demand in U.S. and Europe remains somewhat muted
• Completing 32nm transition; beginning 24nm ramp in Q410
• Price decline less than estimated cost decline
• Close reins on spending; modest increases weighted toward R&D
• Limited use of non-captive memory, but could increase if demand
is stronger

BASIS OF PRESENTATION FOR GAAP TO
NON-GAAP OPERATING RESULTS

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses.
These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our current
financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful
information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and
losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because it is consistent with the financial
models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the Company. For example, because the non-GAAP
results exclude the expenses we recorded for share-based compensation, the amortization of acquisition-related
intangible assets related to acquisitions of Matrix Semiconductor, Inc. in January 2006, msystems Ltd. in November
2006 and MusicGremlin, Inc. in June 2008, the impairment of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets, and
non-cash economic interest expense associated with our cash-settled convertible debt, we believe the inclusion of
non-GAAP financial measures provide consistency in our financial reporting. These non-GAAP results are some of
the primary indicators management uses for assessing our performance, allocating resources and planning and
forecasting future periods. Further, management uses non-GAAP information that excludes certain non-cash
charges, such as impairment of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets, amortization of purchased
intangible assets, share-based compensation and non-cash economic interest expense associated with our cash-
settled convertible debt, as these non-GAAP charges do not reflect the cash operating results of the business or the
ongoing results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP,
but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may be
different than the non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
