Cisco reported second quarter revenue of $11.2 billion, net income on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis of $1.4 billion or $0.27 per share, and non-GAAP net income of $2.5 billion or $0.47 per share.

“We delivered the results we expected this quarter. I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made managing through the technology transitions of cloud, mobile, security and video,” stated chairman and CEO John Chambers. “Our financials are strong and our strategy is solid. The major market transitions are networking centric and as the Internet of Everything becomes more important to business, cities and countries, Cisco is uniquely positioned to help our customers solve their biggest business problems.”

GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 included a pre-tax charge of $655 million related to the expected cost of remediation of issues with memory components in certain products sold in prior fiscal years. This charge was excluded from non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. A reconciliation between net income on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income is provided in the table below.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per share include total tax benefits of $926 million or $0.17 per share, respectively, related to a tax settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the reinstatement of the U.S. federal research and development (R&D) tax credit on January 2, 2013.

This release includes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP effective tax rates, non-GAAP net income per share data and non-GAAP inventory turns.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Cisco believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Cisco’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Cisco’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Cisco believes that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP effective tax rates, and non-GAAP net income per share data, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Cisco believes that the presentation of non-GAAP inventory turns provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to inventory management based on the operating activities of the periods presented.

For its internal budgeting process, Cisco’s management uses financial statements that do not include, when applicable, share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, impact to cost of sales from purchase accounting adjustments to inventory, acquisition-related/divestiture costs, significant asset impairments and restructurings, significant litigation and other contingencies (such as the supplier component remediation charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and the patent litigation settlement with TiVo incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013), the income tax effects of the foregoing, and significant tax matters. Cisco’s management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Cisco. In prior periods, Cisco has excluded other items that it no longer excludes for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. From time to time in the future, there may be other items that Cisco may exclude for purposes of its internal budgeting process and in reviewing its financial results.

For additional information on the items excluded by Cisco from one or more of its non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the Form 8-K regarding this release furnished today to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP NET INCOME

(In millions, except per-share amounts)

(1) GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 included a pre-tax charge of $655 million related to the expected cost of remediation of issues with memory components in certain products sold in prior fiscal years.

The charge is related to the expected remediation cost for certain products containing memory components manufactured by a single supplier between 2005 and 2010. These components are widely used across the industry and are included in a number of Cisco products. They are known to slowly degrade over time, and in some cases, have caused products to fail after a power cycle event. Failure rates due to this issue have been and are expected to be low. However, recently Cisco has seen a handful of its customers experience a growing number of failures in their networks as a result of this component problem. Accordingly, although the majority of these products are beyond Cisco’s warranty terms, Cisco is proactively working with customers on mitigation, resulting in a charge to product cost of sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Cisco believes its approach to this industry-wide issue is the best course of action for its customers and, despite the cost, demonstrates that customer satisfaction is a top priority. Customers can learn more about this issue and potential mitigation steps at www.cisco.com/go/memory.

(2) For the three months and six months ended January 25, 2014, Cisco recorded a net tax benefit of $69 million related to prior fiscal years. Non-GAAP net income excluded this net tax benefit of $69 million.

(3) For the three months and six months ended January 26, 2013, Cisco recorded a net tax benefit of $866 million. This net tax benefit is comprised of an Internal Revenue Service settlement of $794 million and the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S federal R&D tax credit of $72 million. Non-GAAP net income excluded this net tax benefit of $866 million.
