Brocade Reports Fiscal Q3 2014 Results
Strength in SAN and Ethernet Switching Drives Improved Profit Margins
SAN JOSE, Calif., August 21, 2014 — Brocade® (NASDAQ: BRCD) today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2014. Brocade reported third quarter revenue of $545 million, up 2% year-over-year and up 2% quarter-over-quarter. The Company reported GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.20, down from $0.26 in Q3 2013, and up from a loss per share of $(0.03) in Q2 2014. During Q3 2013, the Company recognized a gain of $77 million related to the litigation settlement with A10 Networks, which increased GAAP EPS by $0.13 in that quarter. During Q2 2014, the Company incurred a $83 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge associated with the strategic repositioning of the Brocade ADX® product family, which decreased GAAP EPS by $0.19 in that quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.23 for Q3 2014, up from $0.19 in both Q3 2013 and Q2 2014, primarily due to higher revenue, improved gross margin, and lower operating expenses.

“With another solid quarter behind us, we are seeing the tangible benefits of our data center focused strategy,” said Lloyd Carney, CEO of Brocade. “The resilience and durability of our SAN business, along with strong Brocade VDX® sales, validate our strategic direction. We continue to leverage our core competencies in hardware and software networking to position the company for growth, and we remain focused on delivering a world-class customer experience, even in the most demanding environments.”

Please see important note of explanation on non-GAAP financial measures below, including a detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information in the tables included herein.
Highlights:
SAN business revenue, including products and services, was $380 million, up 3% year-over-year and flat sequentially. The year-over-year improvement was the result of 4% growth in SAN product revenue due to higher switch and director sales, partially offset by lower embedded product sales and the revenue impact from the divestiture of the HBA business during Q1 2014. The revenue performance was better than expected in a typically soft demand quarter.
IP Networking business revenue, including products and services, was $166 million, down 1% year-over-year and up 5% sequentially. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher sales of Ethernet switching products to the U.S. Federal government and strong Brocade VDX sales to data center customers, partially offset by lower routing sales to service provider customers and lower support revenue. Q3 2014 IP Networking product revenue was $133 million, down 1% year-over-year and up 9% sequentially. Ethernet switch revenue increased 17% year-over-year and 27% sequentially. Routing product revenue decreased 19% year-over-year and 20% sequentially, primarily due to a pause in some customer orders in anticipation of new products scheduled for release in fiscal Q4 2014.

Please see important note of explanation on non-GAAP financial measures below, including a detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information in the tables included herein.
(1)
Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on product delivery location. Since some OEM partners take delivery of Brocade products domestically and then ship internationally to their end users, the percentage of international revenues based on end-user location would likely be higher.
(2)
SAN and IP Networking business revenues include product, support, and services revenues.
(3)
Business revenue by use category is estimated based on analysis of the information the Company collects in its sales management system. The estimated percentage of revenue by use category may fluctuate quarter-to-quarter due to seasonality and the timing of large customer orders.
(4)
Data Center includes enterprise, service provider, and government data center revenues.
(5)
Adjusted EBITDA is as defined in the Company’s credit agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. In evaluating Brocade’s performance, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP.
Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release allow management to gain a better understanding of Brocade’s comparative operating performance both from period to period, and relative to its competitors’ operating results. Management also believes these non-GAAP financial measures help with the determination of Brocade’s baseline performance before gains, losses or charges that are considered by management to be outside ongoing operating results. Accordingly, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting of future periods and in making decisions regarding operations and the allocation of resources. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with Brocade’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of Brocade’s ongoing operating results;
the ability to make more meaningful comparisons of Brocade’s operating performance against its industry and competitor companies;
the ability to better identify trends in Brocade’s underlying business and to perform related trend analysis;
a better understanding of how management plans and measures Brocade’s underlying business; and
an easier way to compare Brocade’s most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.
Management excludes certain gains or losses and benefits or costs in determining non-GAAP net income that are the result of infrequent events or events that arise outside the ordinary course of Brocade’s continuing operations. Management believes that it is appropriate to evaluate Brocade’s operating performance by excluding those items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results or limit comparability. Such items include, but are not limited to: (i) legal provision or recovery associated with certain pre-acquisition litigation, (ii) call premium cost and write-off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs related to lenders that did not participate in refinancing, (iii) settlement gain associated with certain pre-acquisition-related litigation, (iv) restructuring, goodwill impairment, and other related costs, (v) gain on sale of network adapter business, (vi) gain on sale of non-marketable equity investment, and (vii) specific non-cash and non-recurring tax benefits or detriments.
Management also excludes the following non-cash charges in determining non-GAAP net income (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) amortization of purchased intangible assets. Because of varying use of valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types, management believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation allows for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies. Management also believes that the exclusion of expense associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is appropriate because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have short lives and the exclusion of amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for Brocade’s newly acquired and long-held businesses.
Finally, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the tax effects of the items noted above in order to present a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.
Limitations These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expense that impact the company. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering Brocade’s GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures that Brocade uses are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by GAAP, such as operating income, net income and net income per share, and should not be considered measurements of Brocade’s liquidity. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measurements reported by other companies.
