Extreme Networks Reports Q3 Financial Results

Extreme Networks Reports Q3 Financial ResultsSANTA CLARA, Calif.; April 23, 2008 – Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter of 2008, ended March 30, 2008. For the quarter, net revenue was $82.0 million, compared to $85.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

Net loss on a GAAP basis was $0.2 million or a loss of $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or a loss of $0.02 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.


Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2008, excluding $1.3 million in stock-based compensation charges, was $1.1 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to year-ago non-GAAP net income of $1.7 million or $0.01 per diluted share, excluding $1.3 million in stock-based compensation charges, $2.8 million in costs associated with the Company’s special investigation into its historical stock option grants, 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.


“We started to see the first effects of more cautious spending late in the quarter, which directly impacted order closures, especially in the Americas,” said Mark Canepa, president and CEO of Extreme Networks. “We experienced growing demand throughout most of the quarter, particularly for our newer products, but were impacted by what we believe were customer delays in purchases in the last two weeks of the period. We continue to invest for the long term as we position ourselves to take advantage of a rebound in the global economy.”


For the fiscal third quarter of 2008, revenues in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa, and South America) were $38.2 million; revenues in the U.S. were $30.1 million; and revenues in Asia (Asia Pacific and Japan) were to $12.8 million. That compares to year-ago revenues of $34.1 million in EMEA; $30.8 in the U.S.; and $19.3 million in Asia. Revenues in other geographies, primarily North America outside of the U.S. was $0.9 million for the quarter, compared to $0.9 million in the year-ago quarter.


Cash, short-term investments, and marketable securities were $231.1 million as of March 30, 2008, compared to $226.3 million as of December 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 the impact of restructuring charges (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 March 30, 2008 and April 1, 2007, 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.
