Extreme Networks Reports Q2 Revenue and EPS Growth

Extreme Networks Reports Q2 Revenue and EPS GrowthSANTA CLARA, Calif.; Jan. 24, 2008 – Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter of 2008, ended December 30, 2007. For the quarter, net revenue increased 7 percent to $92.5 million, from $86.9 million in the year ago quarter.

Net income on a GAAP basis for the fiscal second quarter of 2008 was $4.1 million or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million or a loss of $0.02 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. GAAP results include stock-based compensation charges. In addition, year-ago GAAP results include $2.8 million in costs associated with our special investigation into our historical stock option grants, and $0.2 million in a reversal of a restructuring charge.


Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2008, excluding $1.4 million in stock-based compensation charges, was $5.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share. That compares to year-ago non-GAAP net income of $2.5 million or $0.02 per diluted share. Year-ago non-GAAP results exclude $2.8 million in costs associated with our special investigation into our historical stock option grants, $1.8 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.2 million in a reversal of a restructuring charge. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.


“This quarter represents our highest revenues in two years, driven largely by our newer products, which are being broadly accepted by the market,” said Mark Canepa, president and CEO of Extreme Networks. “Our continued success shows how our vision and our products are aligned with customer needs.”


Cash, short-term investments, and marketable securities were $226.3 million as of December 30, 2007, compared to $224.7 million as of September 30, 2007, reflecting positive cash flow from operations.


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 its 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), costs associated with our special investigation into our historical stock option grants (a non-recurring charge), and $0.2 million in a reversal of a restructuring charge (a non-recurring charge). Because of the non-recurring or infrequent nature and/or non-cash nature of these charges, we believe that excluding them 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 charges in order to more readily correlate the Company’s operating activities with the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations, and excludes the non-recurring and infrequently incurred cash items as a means of more accurately predicting liquidity requirements. 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 quarters ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, which are adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense, costs associated with our special investigation into our historical stock option grants and a reversal of restructuring charges. 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.
