EXTREME NETWORKS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

EXTREME NETWORKS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTSSANTA CLARA, Calif.; November 3, 2008 – Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended September 28, 2008. For the quarter, net revenue was $89.5 million, compared to $89.0 million in the year-ago quarter.

Net income on a GAAP basis was $1.6 million or $0.01 per diluted share, which is based on 111.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. That compares to year-ago net income of $3.6 million or $0.03 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the first fiscal quarter of 2009, excluding $0.4 million in stock-based compensation charges, was $2.0 million or $0.02 per diluted share. That compares to year-ago non-GAAP net income of $4.6 million or $0.04 per diluted share, excluding $1.0 million in stock-based compensation charges. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

“With the recent introduction of innovative new products, our customers are able to deploy high performing networks at compelling prices,” said Mark Canepa, president and CEO of Extreme Networks. “We see an opportunity to capitalize in this economic downturn as Enterprises and Metro Carriers worldwide are increasing their focus upon price/performance as a primary decision criteria for new deployments.”

For the first fiscal quarter of 2009, revenues in North America (U.S., Canada, and Central America) were $35.7 million, revenues in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa, and South America) were $41.6 million, and revenues in APAC (Asia Pacific and Japan) were $12.2 million. That compares to the year-ago revenues of $41.6 million in North America, $30.9 million in EMEA, and $16.5 million in APAC.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the company generated $20.6 million of cash from operations and used approximately $100 million of cash to complete the repurchase of approximately 28.6 million shares of common stock.

Conference Call

Extreme Networks will host a conference call to discuss these results today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time). A live webcast and replay of the call will be available at http://www.extremenetworks.com/about-extreme/investor-relations.aspx. Financial information to be discussed during the conference call is posted on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website (www.extremenetworks.com).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Extreme Networks provides all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we are also providing with this press release non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share information. In preparing our non-GAAP information, we have excluded, where applicable, stock compensation (a non-cash charge). Because of the non-cash nature of this charge, we believe that excluding it provides both management and investors with additional insight into our current operations, the trends affecting the Company and the Company’s marketplace performance. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude the non-cash charge 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 our historical performance and in planning our future business activities. Please note that our non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies. The additional non-GAAP financial information we present should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a non-GAAP reconciliation of the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 and September 28, 2008, which are adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense 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.
