Extreme Networks Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Results

 

SAN JOSE, Calif., August 14, 2017 -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”) (Nasdaq: EXTR) today released financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Fourth Quarter Results:  

 

 

Fourth quarter revenue was $178.7 million, an increase of 28% year-over-year.

 

 

GAAP gross margin for the fourth fiscal quarter was 56.9% and non-GAAP gross margin was 57.1%, an increase of 230 basis points year-over-year.  

 

 

GAAP operating margin for the fourth fiscal quarter was 8.2% and non-GAAP operating margin was 12.2%, an increase of 360 basis points year-over-year.  

 

 

GAAP net income for the fourth fiscal quarter was $12.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income was $19.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, an increase of $0.07 year-over-year.

 

Full Year Results:

 

 

Fiscal year GAAP revenue was $598.1 million, an increase of 13% year-over-year.

 

 

Fiscal year GAAP net loss per share was $0.08 and non-GAAP net income per share was $0.46, an increase of $0.18 year-over-year.

 

“Led by solid organic growth and continued execution of our recently acquired WLAN business, we concluded 2017 with one of our strongest performances in recent years," stated Ed Meyercord, President and CEO of Extreme Networks.  “During our fourth quarter, revenue from our Extreme solutions portfolio generated organic growth of 6% driven by record wireless performance that was at or above current industry growth rates, while our non-GAAP gross margins expanded by 230 basis points year-over-year to 57.1% through our high-quality solution selling strategy and disciplined approach to discounting.  Even more noteworthy, for the first time since 2013, we achieved positive GAAP earnings, while delivering non-GAAP earnings at or above our expectations for the ninth consecutive quarter.  

 

“The successful integration of our WLAN acquisition validates our pursuit of accretive acquisitions and we are poised to build on this momentum with the recent closing of the Avaya networking business acquisition and the pending closing of the Brocade data center networking business acquisition.  Heading into fiscal 2018, we plan to leverage our expanded market share and significant cross selling opportunities


supported by the combination of these transformative acquisitions, greater penetration across our target verticals and the continued introduction of new products and services.   We anticipate these actions will enable us to reach critical mass and build on our leadership position in the enterprise networking industry as we continue to deliver software-driven, end-to-end, wired and wireless networking solutions for enterprise customers," concluded Meyercord.

 

Recent Key Events:

 

 

Closed the Acquisition of Avaya’s Networking Business: Extreme completed the acquisition of

 

Avaya’s networking business in July and has commenced the integration process. As part of this transaction, Extreme acquired customers, employees and technology assets from Avaya that strengthen Extreme’s position as a leader across the education, healthcare, and government markets. Technology assets include Avaya’s award winning fabric technology for highly secure, simplified access, management and control, in addition to a new family of high performance modular switches, software tools and IoT technology.

 

Introduced New Networking Solutions and Enhancements to Software, Switching, and Wireless portfolio:

 

Information Governance Engine (software)Extreme's Information Governance Engine replaces the current manual and error-prone network compliance process with a fully automated and repeatable solution capable of completing an assessment in minutes. This addition to Extreme's product portfolio highlights the company's focus on the technology and security needs of today's healthcare industry and other verticals that are challenged by the increasing use of mobile and IoT devices to improve patient care.

 

ExtremeGuest Analytics (software): Enables retailers and hospitality to provide simple guest sign-on, obtain in-depth analytics of shoppers/visitors, including demographics and preferences, and gather metrics between stores and locations. These analytics provide brick and mortar retailers with the tools they need to compete with online retailers including information such as the number of mobile customers that entered a store, new customers vs. repeat customers, and customer duration in a store.

 

ExtremeSwitching 200 Series (project name ‘Street Fighter’): A new family of economical, managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that address the wired connections of PCs, servers and storage devices in addition to PoE to power wireless APs and IP phones. The family can also be flexibly managed via ExtremeCloud, ExtremeManagement, web client or industry-standard command line interface (CLI). 

 

ExtremeWireless WiNG AP 7602 and AP 7622: Priced for the budget-conscious mass market applications and include enterprise-grade features and Bluetooth customer engagement applicable in our target verticals, especially hospitality and retail.

 

Key Customer Wins in Focus Markets: Extreme Networks continued to showcase customer momentum across the global education, hospitality and government markets. Customers continue to note Extreme's software and services as value added differentiators for choosing our solutions. Notable customer wins in key vertical markets include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (Canada’s Largest Convention Center), Suffolk University, Humble Independent School District, Perth & Kinross Council. Papworth Hospital and Bowen Center.

 

Update on Brocade Acquisition: Extreme expects to close on its purchase of the data center networking assets of Brocade Communications Systems (“Brocade”) within 2-3 business days of the completed Brocade – Broadcom Limited merger, currently expected to close during Brocade’s fourth fiscal quarter ending October 29, 2017.

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, non-GAAP net income 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 asset acquisition with Avaya and the potential asset acquisition with 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 acquisition of the WLAN business from Zebra Technologies Corporation: our ability to successfully close the Broadcom transaction (where we will ultimately acquire Brocade assets) and to successfully integrate the acquired technologies and operations from Avaya and Broadcom (where we will ultimately acquire Brocade assets) 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 a) Zebra Technologies Corporation’s wireless LAN business b) Avaya, Inc.’s networking assets, as well as the fabric-based secure networking solutions and network security


solutions business of Avaya, Inc., and c) Brocade’s data center assets; 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 consist 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 relates 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.
