Aruba Networks Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Record Revenue of $176.4 Million Grew 10 Percent Sequentially
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 20, 2014--Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN) today released financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2014 ended January 31, 2014.
Record revenue of $176.4 million grew 14 percent from the $155.4 million reported in Q2’13. GAAP net loss for Q2’14 was $10.7 million, a loss of $0.10 per share, compared with GAAP net income of $5.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in Q2’13.
Non-GAAP net income for Q2’14 was $21.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $27.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in Q2’13. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below and can also be found in the supplementary tables located in the investor section of the company’s website at www.arubanetworks.com.
“Our revenue achievement marked another record quarter,” said Dominic Orr, Aruba’s president and chief executive officer. “We saw strong sales execution across our 802.11ac and Instant solutions, and our ClearPass Access Management System had a standout quarter. We secured two new Fortune 100 ClearPass customers and in addition, Gartner validated our leadership position in the Network Access Control market by positioning Aruba as a leader in the 2013 Network Access Control Magic Quadrant. We are executing well against our growth plan and are confident in the trajectory of our business.”
Commenting on the company’s financial results, Michael Galvin, Aruba’s chief financial officer, added, “I am pleased with our financial results in the quarter. We delivered strong top line growth and continued to improve our non-GAAP operating margin performance. We were very active in our buyback program during the quarter, purchasing 4.7 million shares for a total repurchase of $80 million. Our balance sheet remains strong with over $278 million in cash and short-term investments and no debt.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP net income and EPS. Aruba defines non-GAAP net income as net income plus stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets and other acquisition-related expense, and the change in the valuation of the contingent rights liability. In addition, Aruba provides for non-GAAP income tax expense by applying generally accepted accounting principles to non-GAAP income, including direct and indirect tax effects of the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments described above, excluding tax related to the internal transfer of intellectual property, and accounting for non-GAAP taxes according to the annual method compared to accounting for GAAP taxes according to the discrete method. Aruba defines non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Aruba’s management regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and manage its business and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the company’s performance by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of Aruba’s “recurring operating results,” meaning its operating performance excluding not only stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes, but also discrete charges that are infrequent in nature. Further, Aruba’s management excludes from non-GAAP net income the tax effects of these non-GAAP financial measures, as without excluding these tax effects, investors would only see the gross effect that excluding these expenses had on the company’s operating results. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use, Aruba’s management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows investors to compare these results with those of other companies, as well as provides management with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating the company’s operating results over different periods of time. Similarly, by excluding amortization expense of acquired intangible assets and other acquisition-related expenses, and the change in the valuation of the contingent rights liability, less the related tax effects, Aruba’s management believes that investors can better understand and measure the company’s recurring operating results.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP net income and EPS versus net income and EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude some costs, namely stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, that are recurring. Stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes have been and will continue to be, for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Aruba’s business. Second, stock-based awards are an important part of Aruba’s employees’ compensation and impact their performance. Third, the components of the costs that Aruba excludes in its calculation of non-GAAP net income may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their results of operations. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluates these non-GAAP financial measures together with their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying tables, as well as the supplementary materials located in the IR section of the Aruba web site, provide reconciliations between these financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP equivalents.
