EXTREME NETWORKS REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue in Line with Preliminary Release

SANTA CLARA, Calif.; October 26, 2009 – Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced financial results for its 2010 fiscal first quarter ended September 27, 2009. The Company will host a conference call to discuss these results and its growth initiatives today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time).

“Last week we completed a reorganization to streamline operations, simplify the organization and reduce recurring costs. The effect of this action was to lower our quarterly breakeven to less than $70 million in revenue and reduce quarterly operating expenses by approximately $2.5 million. The reorganization consolidated the Business Units into a simple functional organization with centralized Marketing and Engineering. We believe this will create significant efficiencies and accelerate decision-making,” said Bob L. Corey, CFO and acting President & CEO of Extreme Networks. “As previously announced, our supply chain was constrained during Q1 impacting our ability to deliver product. We are disappointed with our performance in Q1 and are actively improving availability from our Supply Chain to meet Customer demand for our products in Q2. We remain committed to our products, markets, channels and customers.”

For the first quarter, net revenue was $66.3 million, compared to $89.5 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net loss was $4.9 million or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.0 million or $0.02 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP financial results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation and restructuring charges. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

For the first quarter, net revenue in North America was $26.9 million, revenue in EMEA was $28.1 million, and revenue in APAC was $11.4 million. That compares to revenue of $35.7 million in North America, $41.6 million in EMEA, and $12.2 million in APAC in the year-ago fiscal first quarter.

Net loss on a GAAP basis for the first quarter was $5.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.6 million or $0.01 per diluted share in the year-ago fiscal first quarter.

Conference Call

Extreme Networks will host a conference call to discuss these results today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time). The conference call may be heard by dialing 1-877-941-1427 (international callers dial 1-480-629- 9664).

Financial information to be discussed during the conference call will be 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. In preparing our non-GAAP information, we have excluded, where applicable, the impact of restructuring charges (a non-recurring charge) and share-based compensation (a non-cash charge). Because of the non-recurring 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 these charges 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 periods presented in this release, which are adjusted to exclude restructuring charges and 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.
