Extreme Networks Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Results

 

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 3, 2017 -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”) (Nasdaq: EXTR) today released financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2017.  

 

 

Third quarter revenue was $148.7 million, an increase of 19.0% year-over-year.

 

 

GAAP gross margin for the third fiscal quarter was 55.3% and non-GAAP gross margin was 57.0%, an increase of 360 basis points year-over-year.  

 

 

GAAP operating margin for the third fiscal quarter was (2.2)% and non-GAAP operating margin was 9.4%, an increase of 510 basis points year-over-year.  

 

 

GAAP net loss for the third fiscal quarter was $5.6 million, or $0.05 per basic share, and non-GAAP net income was $11.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, an increase of $0.07 year-over-year.

 

“We are pleased to deliver our eighth consecutive quarter of strong financial results as demonstrated by  continued growth in gross margins, operating income and earnings – all exceeding expectations,” stated Ed Meyercord, President and CEO of Extreme Networks.  “The strength of our cash flow and top line growth, driven by the successful integration of the Zebra WLAN acquisition, highlights the success of our accretive acquisition strategy.  While our more disciplined discounting policies put pressure on revenue during the quarter, our focus on higher quality customer solutions contributed to enhanced non-GAAP gross margins that grew 360 basis points year-over-year.  This improvement, combined with our operating expense management, drove cash flows significantly higher as evidenced by our non-GAAP operating income that more than doubled from the same period a year ago.

 

“During the quarter, we also took proactive steps to strengthen our competitive position in the enterprise networking market by signing asset purchase agreements with Avaya and Brocade,” continued Meyercord.   “Both companies have blue chip enterprise customers across our target verticals, as well as strong teams of talented networking professionals and newly refreshed product and software portfolios with differentiated technology. These strengths will further elevate Extreme’s competitiveness, especially in the data center.

 

“Moving forward, we are well positioned to take share in the enterprise networking industry with a significantly expanded, high quality enterprise customer base and new innovative products. We are the only pure play IP networking company solely focused on a strategy of software-driven, end-to-end, wired and wireless networking solutions for enterprise customers with 100% insourced customer service,” concluded Meyercord.


 

 

Recent Key Events:

 

 

Successfully Integrated Zebra’s Wireless LAN Business: The recently acquired Wireless LAN business has already provided significant contributions to Extreme’s earnings and cash flow growth in the quarter, showcasing the strength of the Company’s execution of our acquisition strategy, Zebra WLAN has been successfully consolidated into our business operations.

 

Signed Agreement to Acquire Avaya’s Networking Business: Extreme entered into an asset purchase agreement with Avaya Inc. to acquire its networking business in Avaya’s bankruptcy process as the stalking horse bidder. Avaya’s technology, heritage and enterprise campus focus with a similar solutions-driven go-to-market approach complements Extreme’s strategy. Avaya’s fixed and modular switching and advanced software-licensing capabilities, combined with the successful roll out of its next generation Layer 2 fabric technology that provides hyper-segmentation, native stealth and automatic elasticity, will add to Extreme’s solutions portfolio.  

 

Signed Agreement to Purchase Brocade’s Data Center Networking Business: Extreme entered into an agreement to acquire Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.’s data center switching, routing, and analytics business from Broadcom following Broadcom’s acquisition of Brocade. Extreme will be adding Brocade’s completely refreshed SLX family of data center products and over 6,000 Brocade enterprise customers mostly on the VDX switching and MLX routing platform. The deal, once consummated, will significantly strengthen Extreme’s position in the expanding high-end data center market and reinforce the Company’s strategy of delivering software-driven networking solutions focused on the enterprise customer.  

 

Introduced Powerful Retail Guest Analytics Solution: Extreme introduced its Retail Guest Analytics solution as part of its new ExtremeWireless™ WiNG product portfolio, which is a highly integrated and customizable platform that enables retailers to better understand shoppers’ in-store habits and create personalized offers.

 

Introduced Information Governance Engine: Extreme introduced the Information Governance Engine, an optional add-on to the ExtremeManagement™ product portfolio, enabling CISOs and CIOs to establish and maintain a clinical baseline that demonstrates compliance with HIPAA and PCI standards for their mission-critical networks.

 

Continued Customer Momentum: Extreme announced steady growth in acquiring new community college customers worldwide, including Alabama Southern Community College, Halifax Community College, College of the Canyons, Southern Union State Community College and Johnston Community College.

 

Powered “Most Connected” Super Bowl: As the Official Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Analytics provider of Super Bowl LI, Extreme’s entire suite of technologies was utilized to power Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium, connected to over 35,000 fans, and transferred a record breaking 11.8 Terabytes of data across the Wi-Fi network during the game.

 

Class Action Shareholder Litigation Dismissed: On April 27, 2017 the court issued an opinion granting our motion to dismiss the litigation. The plaintiffs were given leave to amend the complaint by May 29, 2017.  If they do, we intend to continue to defend the case zealously.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Extreme provides all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company is providing with this press release non-GAAP gross margins, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP earnings per share. In preparing non-GAAP information, the Company has excluded, where applicable, the impact of share-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments, acquired inventory adjustments, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring charges, executive transition costs, litigation expenses and overhead adjustments.  The Company believes that excluding these items provides both management and investors


with additional insight into its current operations, the trends affecting the Company, the Company's marketplace performance, and the Company's ability to generate cash from operations. Please note the Company's non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies. The additional non-GAAP financial information the Company presents should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial information.  

 

The Company has provided a non-GAAP reconciliation of the results for the periods presented in this release, which are adjusted to exclude certain items as indicated.  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.

 

Forward Looking Statements:

Statements in this release, including those concerning the Company’s business outlook, future financial and operating results, any anticipated benefits related to the potential asset acquisitions with Avaya and Broadcom and overall future prospects are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release. Actual results or events could differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including: our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the WLAN business from Zebra Technologies Corporation and to successfully integrate the acquired technologies and operations into our business and operations; our ability to successfully close the Avaya and Brocade transactions and to successfully integrate the acquired technologies and operations into our business and operations;  failure to achieve targeted revenues and forecasted demand from end customers; a highly competitive business environment for network switching equipment; our effectiveness in controlling expenses; the possibility that we might experience delays in the development or introduction of new technology and products; customer response to our new technology and products; risks related to pending or future litigation; and a dependency on third parties for certain components and for the manufacturing of our products.  

 

More information about potential factors that could affect the Company's business and financial results is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, under the captions: "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and "Risk Factors".  Except as required under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Extreme Networks disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, developments, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Extreme Networks, Inc.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

 

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, ("GAAP"), Extreme Networks uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance.  These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and free cash flow.

 

Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release.  In this press release, Extreme Networks also presents its target for non-GAAP expenses, which is expenses less share-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments, acquired inventory adjustments, amortization of intangibles, restructuring expenses, executive transition expenses, litigation expense and overhead adjustments.

 

Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or alternative measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.  In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.  Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Extreme Networks' results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Extreme Networks' results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

 

Extreme believes these non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures enhance investors' and management's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value.  In addition, because Extreme Networks has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting.

 

For its internal planning process, and as discussed further below, Extreme's management uses financial statements that do not include share-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments, acquired inventory adjustment, amortization of  intangibles, restructuring expenses,  executive transition costs, litigation expenses and overhead adjustments.  Extreme’s management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company's financial results.

 

As described above, Extreme excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable.

 

Share-based compensation. This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases through its ESPP.  Extreme Networks excludes share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing cash requirement related to operating results. Extreme Networks expects to incur share-based compensation expenses in future periods.

 

Acquisition and integration costs. Acquisition and integration costs consist of legal and professional fees related to the acquisition of Zebra Technologies Corporation’s wireless LAN business.   Extreme


Networks excludes these expenses since they result from an event that is outside the ordinary course of continuing operations.

 

Purchase accounting adjustments.  Purchase accounting adjustments relating to deferred revenue consists of adjustments to the carrying value of deferred revenue.  We have recorded adjustments to the assumed deferred revenue to reflect only a fulfillment margin and thereby excluding the profit margin and revenue which would have been incurred had Extreme Networks entered into the service contract post-acquisition.

 

Acquired inventory adjustments.   Purchase accounting adjustments relating to the mark up of acquired inventory to fair value less disposal costs.

 

Amortization of acquired intangibles.  Amortization of acquired intangibles includes the monthly amortization expense of acquired intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and order backlog.  The amortization of the developed technology intangible is recorded in product cost of goods sold, while the amortization for the other intangibles are recorded in operating expenses.  Extreme Networks excludes these non-cash expenses since they result from an intangible asset and for which the period expense does not impact the operations of the business and are non-cash in nature.

 

Restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses primarily consist of accrued lease costs pertaining to the estimated future obligations for non-cancelable lease payments and accelerated depreciation of leasehold improvements related to excess facilities. Extreme Networks excludes restructuring expenses since they result from events that often occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations.

 

Executive transition expenses.  Executive transition expenses consists of severance and termination benefits and legal transition cash transactions.  The expenses are incurred through execution of pre-established employment contracts with senior executives.  The Company does not believe these expenses are reflective of ongoing cash requirements related to its operating results.

 

Litigation expenses. Litigation expenses consist of legal and professional fees and expenses related to our on-going ligation matter as a result of a securities laws class action lawsuit.

 

Overhead adjustments. Overhead adjustment relate to service inventory overhead capitalization, this was a one-time event and was non-cash in nature.

 

In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, Extreme uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance.  Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less net purchase of property and equipment on a GAAP basis.  Extreme considers free cash flows to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Extreme’s business, make strategic acquisitions, and strengthen the balance sheet.  A limitation of the utility of free cash flows as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company's cash balance for the period.
