A10 Networks, Inc. Announces Preliminary Third Quarter Revenue and Schedules Financial Results Conference Call

SAN JOSE, Calif., October 8, 2014 - A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ATEN), a technology leader in application networking, today announced preliminary revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

The company now expects revenue of approximately $43.0 million to $43.5 million, below the company’s prior guidance of $48.0 million to $50.0 million.

“We are disappointed with our preliminary revenue results, which were primarily impacted by lower than expected North America bookings and longer close cycles for deals awarded to A10,” said Lee Chen, president and chief executive officer. “Third quarter revenue in Japan was ahead of expectations, even though we saw an unfavorable impact from currency exchange rates. In the quarter we remained focused on executing our strategy and we are gaining solid market traction with our A10 Thunder TPS solution as we closed multiple initial sales for this new product.”
