Software subscriptions and service revenue was $3.4 million, or 12% of total revenue for the quarter, compared with $1.8 million, or 9 % of total revenue in the first quarter of 2013.

“2014 is off to a strong start for Aerohive, with the completion of our March IPO on the New York Stock Exchange and 42% revenue growth year over year for the first quarter,” stated David Flynn, President and Chief Executive Officer, Aerohive Networks. “Over 14,000 end-customers are now benefiting from the scalability, simplicity and security of our Wi-Fi and mobility solutions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Aerohive’s reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including:

•

Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin

•

Non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP operating loss percentage

•

Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share

The Company defines non-GAAP financial measures to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles and the periodic fair value re-measurements related to convertible preferred stock warrants.

The Company has included non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because they are key measures used to evaluate the business, measure performance, identify trends affecting the business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. In particular, the exclusion of certain non-cash expenses in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business.

Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors in their evaluations of companies, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•

the non-GAAP measures do not consider the dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, which is an ongoing expense for the Company;

•

although amortization is a non-cash charge, the assets being amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP gross profit percentage, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating loss percentage, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP loss per share do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements;

•

Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share do not reflect the periodic fair value re-measurements related to convertible preferred stock warrants; and

•

other companies, including companies in this industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP financial measures only together with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and other GAAP results.
