Extreme Networks Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan 28, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended December 28, 2008. For the quarter, net revenue was $87.5 million, compared to $92.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

Net income on a GAAP basis was $2.5 million or $0.03 per diluted share. That compares to the year-ago net income of $4.1 million or $0.04 per diluted share.

Excluding stock-based compensation charges, non-GAAP net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 was $3.5 million or $0.04 per diluted share, which compares to non-GAAP net income of $5.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

"Our focus on high performance, cost-effective network solutions in the enterprise and carrier markets positions us well to deliver on the promise of converged networks in an economy where customers are demanding the greatest return on their investment," said Mark Canepa, president and CEO of Extreme Networks.

For the second fiscal quarter of 2009, revenues in North America (U.S., Canada, and Central America) were $33.4 million, revenues in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa, and South America) were $42.2 million, and revenues in APAC (Asia Pacific and Japan) were $11.9 million. That compares to the year-ago revenues of $40.5 million in North America, $35.7 million in EMEA, and $16.3 million in APAC.

During the quarter, cash and investments increased by $0.9 million from the first fiscal quarter of 2009.

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://investor.extremenetworks.com/. Financial information to be discussed during the conference call is posted on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website (http://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. 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 December 30, 2007 and December 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.
