F5 Networks Announces Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2011
SEATTLE, WAApril 20, 2011 For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:
FFIV) announced revenue of $277.6 million, up 3.2 percent from $268.9 million in the prior quarter
and 34.7 percent from $206.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
GAAP net income was $55.6 million ($0.68 per diluted share), compared to $55.7 million ($0.68 per
diluted share) in the prior quarter and $33.1 million ($0.41 per diluted share) in the second
quarter a year ago.
Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation net of tax, non-GAAP net income was $71.5 million
($0.88 per diluted share), compared to $72.2 million ($0.88 per diluted share) in the prior quarter
and $45.2 million ($0.56 per diluted share) in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
F5s solid sequential and year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter was driven by
continuing strength in the Americas and APAC, said John McAdam, president and chief executive
officer. Revenue from the Americas grew 4 percent from the prior quarter and 38 percent from the second
quarter of fiscal 2010. APAC revenue increased 10 percent from the prior quarter and 68 percent
year-over-year. Japan revenue was down 6 percent sequentially and flat with revenue in the second
quarter of last year. In EMEA, revenue grew 22 percent year-over-year but was essentially flat
with the prior quarter.
Overall revenue growth and stable gross margins enabled us to add 125 employees in the second
quarter and maintain our non-GAAP operating margin at just under 38 percent, McAdam said.
During the quarter F5 generated $91 million in cash from operations, and after repurchasing 404,933
shares of our outstanding common stock the company ended the quarter with $997 million in cash and
investments.
For the current quarter, ending June 30, management has set a revenue goal of $287 million to $292
million with a GAAP earnings target of $0.69 to $0.71 per diluted share. Excluding stock-based
compensation expense, the companys non-GAAP earnings target is $0.89 to $0.91 per diluted share.
A reconciliation of the companys expected GAAP and non-GAAP earnings is provided in the following

and uncertainties, as well as assumptions and other factors that, if they do not fully materialize
or prove correct, could cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the company, or industry results, to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: customer acceptance of our new traffic
management, security, application delivery, WAN optimization and storage virtualization offerings;
the timely development, introduction and acceptance of additional new products and features by F5
or its competitors; competitive pricing pressures; increased sales discounts; uncertain global

hereof and qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. F5 assumes no obligation to
revise or update these forward-looking statements.
GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation
F5s management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various operating measures. These
measures are generally based on the revenues of its products, services operations and certain costs
of those operations, such as cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and
general and administrative expenses. One such measure is net income excluding stock-based
compensation, which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This measure consists of GAAP net income excluding, as
applicable, stock-based compensation. Net income excluding stock-based compensation (non-GAAP) is
adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue if it used
non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate the companys tax liability. Stock-based
compensation is a non-cash expense that F5 has accounted for since July 1, 2005 in accordance with
the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 Compensation Stock Compensation (FASB ASC Topic 718).
Management believes that net income excluding stock-based compensation (non-GAAP) provides useful
supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the companys
business operations and facilitates comparisons to the companys historical operating results.
Although F5s management finds this non-GAAP measure to be useful in evaluating the performance of
the business, managements reliance
on this measure is limited because items excluded from such measures could have a material effect
on F5s earnings and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, F5s
management will use its non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures, in conjunction with GAAP
earnings and earnings per share measures, to address these limitations when evaluating the
performance of the companys business. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in
addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP.
F5 believes that presenting its non-GAAP measure of earnings and earnings per share provides
investors with an additional tool for evaluating the performance of the companys business and
which management uses in its own evaluation of the companys performance. Investors are encouraged
to look at GAAP results as the best measure of financial performance. For example, stock-based
compensation is an obligation of the company that should be considered and each line item is
important to financial performance generally. However, while the GAAP results are more complete,
the company provides investors this supplemental measure since, with reconciliation to GAAP, it may
provide additional insight into its operational performance and financial results.
