A10 Networks, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 4, 2015 -- A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ATEN), a technology leader in application networking, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Total revenue for the first quarter was $44.0 million, compared with $45.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. A10 Networks first quarter 2015 GAAP net loss was $13.7 million, compared with a GAAP net loss of $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2015 was $9.1 million, compared with non-GAAP net loss of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2014. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the financial statements below.

Lee Chen, president and chief executive officer of A10 Networks, commented: “Our first quarter 2015 revenue came in at $44.0 million, reflecting 26 percent year-over-year growth in both the United States and sales to enterprise customers, offset by some first quarter seasonality and continued weakness in the service provider segment. We generated year-over-year product bookings growth and gained traction with our security solutions including our TPS DDoS mitigation product and Thunder ADC with advanced security features such as SSL Insight. Demonstrating our momentum, we added a record number of new TPS customers in the quarter and a new Fortune 50 enterprise customer selected our Thunder ADC SSL Insight solution to help protect their network from incoming threats in encrypted traffic. We believe our compelling product portfolio is well positioned to drive growth as we progress through the year.”

Recent Highlights

Collaborated with RSA Security to provide enhanced security capabilities for joint customers. RSA has validated interoperability with A10 Thunder Application Delivery Controller’s (ADC) innovative SSL Insight feature, which allows RSA Security Analytics to inspect SSL and uncover hidden threats in encrypted traffic.

C4L, a data center colocation and connectivity solutions provider, selected the A10 Networks Thunder TPS Threat Protection Systems to mitigate sophisticated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and improve service availability. C4L will also use the A10 Thunder TPS platform to launch a new set of services, delivering additional DDoS protection for clients across its 300 network-connected locations.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” including statements regarding our product portfolio driving growth in future periods. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ include the continued market adoption of our products, our ability to successfully anticipate market needs and opportunities, our timely development of new products and features, any loss or delay of expected purchases by our largest end-customers, our ability to attract and retain new end-customers, continued growth in markets relating to network security, our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, the ability of our sales team to execute well, our ability to shorten our close cycles, the ability for our channel partners to sell our products, our ability to achieve or maintain profitability while continuing to invest in our sales, marketing and research and development teams, variations in product mix or geographic locations of our sales, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, risks associated with our significant presence in international markets, the cost and potential outcomes of existing and future litigation, increased cost requirements of being a public company and future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, and litigation risks and costs.

More information about potential factors that could affect the company's business and financial results is included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2015. These filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and the company’s website.

All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to the company as of the date hereof. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

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 certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income (loss). Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.






A10 Networks considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the company, exclusive of unusual events or factors that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance, and are used by the company's management for that purpose. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as our net income (loss) excluding: (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) amounts paid in settlement of, and other expenses associated with the Brocade litigation.

We have included non-GAAP net income (loss) in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company's operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure attached to this release.
