Exhibit 99.1
Ixia Announces Financial Results for 2015 Second Quarter
Achieves Record Revenue of $131.6 Million
CALABASAS, Calif., August 4, 2015 — Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Total revenue for the 2015 second quarter grew to a record $131.6 million, compared with $109.5 million reported for the 2014 second quarter and $121.0 million reported for the 2015 first quarter.
“We exceeded both our top and bottom line expectations for the quarter, growing revenue 20% year-over-year and generating $19.3 million in cash from operations. Our strategy to bring differentiated products with compelling customer value to market while striving for operational excellence and financial discipline contributed to our strong performance. We believe our results this quarter are a proof point that execution of our strategy and investments in our product portfolio are delivering results,” said Bethany Mayer, Ixia's president and chief executive officer.
On a GAAP basis, the company recorded net income for the 2015 second quarter of $5.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $15.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the 2014 second quarter. Non-GAAP net income for the 2015 second quarter was $16.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the 2014 second quarter.
Additional non-GAAP information and a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the 2015 and 2014 second quarters and year-to-date periods may be found in the attached financial tables.
Ixia ended the 2015 second quarter with approximately $219 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared with $196 million at March 31, 2015.

Ixia will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time for analysts and investors to discuss its 2015 second quarter results and its business outlook and its guidance for the 2015 third quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and in the attachments hereto. Specifically, we have provided non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share) that exclude certain non-cash and/or non-recurring income and expense items such as expenses relating to internal investigations and any related remediation efforts, the restatement of our financial statements for the first and second quarters of 2013 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the pending securities class action and shareholder derivative action
against the company and certain of its current and former officers and directors as well as an ongoing SEC investigation, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition and other related costs, restructuring expenses, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and the related income tax effects of these items, as well as certain other non-cash income tax impacts such as changes in the valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets. The aforementioned items represent income and expense items that may be difficult to estimate from period to period and/or that we believe are not directly attributable to and/or reflective of the underlying performance of our business operations. We believe that, by excluding these items, our non-GAAP measures provide supplemental information to both management and investors that is useful in assessing our core operating performance, evaluating our ongoing business operations, identifying and assessing financial and business trends, and comparing our results of operations on a consistent basis from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to plan and forecast future periods and to assist management in making operating and strategic decisions. The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies that may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently
and should be considered as a supplement to, and not a substitute for or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, which are included below in the attached financial tables.

(a) | This reconciling item represents stock-based compensation. As stock-based compensation represents a non-cash charge that is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of our business operations, we believe that by excluding stock-based compensation, we provide investors supplemental information that is useful in comparing our operating results from period to period and in evaluating our core operations and performance. While we expect to continue to recognize stock-based compensation in the future, management also excludes this expense when evaluating current performance, forecasting future results, measuring core operating results, and making operating and strategic decisions. |
(b) | This reconciling item represents the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions of various businesses and technologies. As amortization expense represents a non-cash charge that is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of our business operations, we believe that by excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, we provide investors with supplemental information that is useful in evaluating our ongoing operations and performance. While the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is expected to continue in the future, management also excludes this expense when evaluating current performance, forecasting future results, measuring core operating results, and making operating and strategic decisions. |
(c) | This reconciling item represents costs associated with acquisition-related activities. Acquisition and other related costs consist primarily of transaction and integration-related costs such as: professional fees for legal, accounting, tax, due diligence, valuation and other related services; amortization of deferred compensation; consulting fees; required regulatory costs; certain employee, facility and infrastructure costs; and other related expenses. We believe that by excluding acquisition and other related costs, we provide investors with supplemental information that is useful in comparing our ongoing operating results from period to period and in evaluating our core operations and performance. |
(d) | This reconciling item represents costs associated with our restructuring plans. During the first quarter of 2014, we initiated a plan to restructure certain of our operations following our December 5, 2013 acquisition of Net Optics, Inc. During the third quarter of 2014, we implemented a company-wide restructuring initiative to restructure our operations to better align our operating costs with our business opportunities. The restructuring costs associated with our restructuring plans primarily relate to employee termination benefits, lease exit costs and other related costs. We believe that by excluding restructuring costs, we provide investors with supplemental information that is useful in comparing our operating results from period to period and in evaluating our core operations and performance. |
(e) | This reconciling item represents costs incurred related to (i) internal investigations and any related remediation efforts, (ii) the June 2014 restatement of our financial statements for the first quarter of 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, (iii) the securities class action against the company and certain of its current and former officers and directors as well as a shareholder derivative action and (iv) an SEC investigation. These costs consist primarily of legal and accounting fees, recruiting and consulting expenses, severance and retention costs, and other related expenses. We believe that by excluding these non-recurring costs, we are providing our investors with supplemental information that is useful in comparing our operating results from period to period and in evaluating our core operations and performance. |
(f) | This adjustment represents the income tax effects of the reconciling items noted in footnotes (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), as well as certain other non-cash income tax impacts such as changes in the valuation allowance relating to certain deferred tax assets. |
(g) | This reconciling item for the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2015 |
includes the impact of our convertible senior notes as this was anti-dilutive for the equivalent GAAP earnings per share calculations.
(h) | This adjustment represents the effects of stock-based compensation on diluted common equivalent shares outstanding as well as any adjustments required due to a change from a net loss to a net income position. |
