Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Extreme Networks provides all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company is also providing with this press release non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP operating income/(loss) financial measures. In preparing non-GAAP information, the company has excluded, where applicable, the impact of acquisition and integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring charges, executive transition costs, share-based compensation, gain on sale of facilities and litigation settlements. The company believes that excluding these items provides both management and investors with additional insight into its current operations, the trends affecting the company and the company's marketplace performance. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude these items in order to more readily correlate the company's operating activities with the company's ability to generate cash from operations. Accordingly, management uses these non-GAAP measures, along with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating the Company’s historical performance and in planning its future business activities. Please note that the company’s non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies. The additional non-GAAP financial information the company presents should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided a non-GAAP reconciliation of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the periods presented in this release, which are adjusted to exclude acquisition and integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense and gain on sale of facilities for these periods. These measures should only be used to evaluate the company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures for comparable financial information and understanding of the company's ongoing performance as a business. Extreme Networks uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to evaluate and manage its operations.

Forward Looking Statements:
Actual results, including with respect to the Company’s financial targets and general business prospects, could differ materially due to a number of factors, including the risks that:

The Company may not achieve targeted revenues for the Company's products and services given increasing price competition and product technology developments in key network switching equipment markets;

The Company may be unable to effectively integrate the businesses of Extreme Networks and Enterasys Networks, both in terms of customer acceptance of combined product lines as well as the need to align the Company’s cost structure to meet the company’s financial goals, including controlling expenses, and meet financial covenants as part of the Company’s debt financing used to acquire Enterasys Networks;




The Company may not accurately anticipate demand from end customers, which can result in increased inventory and reduced orders as it experiences wide fluctuations in supply and demand;

The Company is dependent on third parties to manufacture its products and any potential production delays could preclude the Company from shipping sufficient quantities to meet customer orders or could result in higher production costs and lower margins;

Ongoing uncertainty in global economic conditions, infrastructure development or customer demand could negatively affect product demand, collectability of receivables and other related matters as consumers and businesses may defer purchases or payments, or default on payments;

The Company may be unable to complete development and commercialization of products under development, such as its pipeline of new network switches and related software

The Company may be adversely affected by ongoing litigation.

More information about potential factors that could affect the Company's business and financial results is included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, under the captions: “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Risk Factors,” which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, Extreme Networks disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, developments, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Extreme Networks' results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Extreme Networks' results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Extreme Networks believes that these non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures enhance investors' and management's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value. In addition, because Extreme Networks has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting.

For its internal planning process, and as discussed further below, Extreme Network's management uses financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring expenses and gains related to the sale of the Santa Clara campus. Extreme Networks' management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company's financial results.

As described above, Extreme Networks excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable.

Stock based compensation expense. This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases through its ESPP. Extreme Networks excludes stock based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing cash requirement related to operating results. Extreme Networks expects to incur stock-based compensation expenses in future periods.

Acquisition and integration costs. Acquisition and integration costs primarily consist of legal and professional fees, severance costs, and other expenses related to the acquisition and integration of Enterasys Inc. Extreme Networks excludes these expenses since they result from an event that is outside the ordinary course of continuing operations.

Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles includes the monthly amortization expense of acquired intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and order backlog. The amortization of the developed technology intangible is recorded in product cost of goods sold, while the amortization for the other intangibles are recorded in operating expenses. Extreme Networks excludes these non-cash expenses since they result from an intangible asset and for which the period expense does not impact the operations of the business.

Purchase accounting adjustments relating to inventory and deferred revenue. Purchase accounting adjustments consists of adjustments to the carrying value of deferred revenue and the step up of the carrying value for finished goods inventory. We have recorded adjustments to the assumed deferred revenue to reflect only a fulfillment margin and thereby excluding the profit margin and revenue which would have been incurred had Extreme Networks entered into the service contract post-acquisition. The carrying value of the finished goods inventories acquired was adjusted to reflect only a selling profit margin that a market



participant would incur to fulfill an order. However, we have excluded the step up adjustment since we believe it is not reflective of the normal profit margin we expect on similar types of transactions with 3rd party customers.

Restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses primarily consist of cash severance and termination benefits. Extreme Networks excludes restructuring expenses since they result from events that often occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Extreme Networks expects to incur restructuring expenses in future periods.

Gains related to the sale of facilities. The one-time net gain related to the sale of the Santa Clara campus consists of the gross proceeds of the sale less the expenses directly related to the sale such as commissions, closing costs and legal fees. Extreme Networks excludes this gain because it is a one-time event and does not believe that the gain is reflective of ongoing operations.

Executive transition expenses. This expense is related to the costs associated with the severance payments, both cash and stock based, for the Company's prior executives and the cost of transitioning with the new executives. Extreme Networks excludes these costs as it does not believe it is reflective of ongoing operations.

Currency loss related to closing of certain foreign subsidiaries. This is related to the closing of our Japanese subsidiary. This has accumulated over time and has historically been included in Other Comprehensive Income. Extreme Networks excludes these losses as it is a one-time event and does not believe it is reflective of ongoing operations.

In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, Extreme Networks also uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less net purchase of property and equipment. Extreme Networks considers free cash flows to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Extreme Networks business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet and repurchase stock. A limitation of the utility of free cash slows as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increases or decrease in the Company's cash balance for the period.
