EXTREME NETWORKS REPORTS FISCAL Q1 RESULTS
New Products and Key Verticals Driving Revenue; Transformation on Track to Achieve Results
 
SANTA CLARA, Calif.; November 2, 2011 - Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced financial results for its 2012 fiscal first quarter ended October 2, 2011. For the quarter, total net revenue was $78.9 million. Non-GAAP Net Income was $4.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and Net Income on a GAAP basis for the quarter was $1.6 million or $0.02 per diluted share. Extreme added 30 new education customers in the quarter, and revenue from selected high-growth vertical markets has risen to 30 percent in Q1 FY12, as measured on a rolling four quarter basis.
 
“Our company transformation remains on track,” said Oscar Rodriguez, President and CEO of Extreme Networks. “We are progressing with our strategy to position ourselves as a best-of-breed vendor of choice in our target verticals, and our product portfolio and investments are keenly focused on these high-growth markets. We are already showing progress from our cost restructuring in the first quarter results, and are now focusing on accelerating growth with our new products.”

Total net revenue of $78.9 million compares to $83.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Total net revenue in Americas was $33.4 million, revenue in EMEA was $30.9 million, and revenue in APAC was $14.6 million. That compares to revenue in Americas of $32.1 million, revenue in EMEA of $33.9 million, and revenue in APAC of $17.9 million a year-ago.

Rodriguez continued, “Q1 revenue came in down seasonally, and was down year over year, due to strategic changes in the product portfolio and the timing of large deals in APAC, which was in line with our expectations.”

In the first quarter the Company reported a non-GAAP Net Income of $4.4 million or $0.05 per diluted share. That compares to a non-GAAP Net Income of $4.8 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter of last year. 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.
 
Net Income on a GAAP basis for the quarter was $1.6 million or $0.02 per diluted share, including the impact of a $1.0 million additional restructuring charge. That compares to GAAP Net Income of $2.7 million or $0.03 per diluted share a year ago,

 Total cash and investments totaled $140.7 million as of October 2, 2011. The Company has no long-term debt.
 
2012 Fiscal Second Quarter non-GAAP Financial Guidance
For its 2012 fiscal second quarter, ending on January 1, 2012, the Company currently expects net revenue to be in a range of $81.0-$86.0 million and non-GAAP Net Income of $0.05 to $0.08 per diluted share. The company also reiterates full-year guidance of $320 million to $340 million in revenue and earnings per share of 28 cents to 35 cents per diluted share.

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/(loss), non-GAAP operating income/(loss) and non-GAAP earnings/(loss) per diluted share. In preparing our non-GAAP information, we have excluded, where applicable, the impact of restructuring charges, share-based compensation and litigation settlements. We believe that excluding these items 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 items 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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the periods presented in this release, which are adjusted to exclude restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense and litigation settlements 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.
