Balance Sheet Highlights
Total cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 were $388.6 million, compared with $391.0 million as of September 30, 2014. The cash balance is net of a $15 million dividend paid on October 28, 2014 that was part of our new annual dividend policy we announced on September 30, 2014, and $15 million in share repurchases during the quarter as part of our share repurchase program. We believe that our cash position will allow us to make investments that will continue to enhance our competitive position and product portfolio.
This quarter we saw days sales outstanding in accounts receivable ("DSO") of 44 days, compared with 40 days in the prior quarter, and 24 days in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in DSO for the quarter was primarily the result of our strategic decision to add larger distributors worldwide that received longer credit terms, as well as extending more favorable credit terms to other distributors who have built up a credit history with us.
Business Outlook
The following are Ubiquiti’s financial performance estimates for the third quarter of fiscal 2015:
• | Revenues of between $146 million and $158 million |
• | GAAP diluted EPS of between $0.44 and $0.49 |
• | Non-GAAP diluted EPS of between $0.45 and $0.50 |

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains.
We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information regarding non-cash expenses, significant items that we believe are important to understanding our financial, and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company's activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company's operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.
Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures used by Ubiquiti Networks
We compute non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of certain adjustments and the tax effect of those adjustments. Items excluded from net income are:
• | Stock-based compensation expense |
• | Reserve against vendor deposits relating to a purchase commitment termination fee |
• | Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, applying the principles of ASC 740 |
Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income” included in this press release.
