Infoblox Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2016 Results
Strong Execution Drives Record Revenue with Product Revenue Up 36% Year-Over-Year

SANTA CLARA, Calif., February 25, 2016 — Infoblox (NYSE:BLOX), the network control company, today reported its financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2016. Total net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was a record $96 million, an increase of 29% on a year-over-year basis. Products and licenses revenue for the quarter was a record $52 million, an increase of 36% on a year-over-year basis.
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $4 million, or $0.06 net income per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with a net loss of $7 million, or $0.13 net loss per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $10 million, or $0.17 net income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with net income of $5 million, or $0.09 net income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
“We are reporting strong second quarter results today, with revenue up 29% compared to the prior year, led by product revenue which grew 36% year-over-year,” said Jesper Andersen, president and chief executive officer. “Revenue grew across all major geographies, and security revenue grew more than 50%,” continued Andersen. “Looking forward, we will continue to focus on strong execution combined with innovation as the industry leading DDI vendor uniquely securing the DNS infrastructure and simplifying the path to hybrid cloud deployment. We believe we are well positioned to execute on the opportunities ahead.”

“Every measure of profitability in the quarter exceeded our expectations, underscoring the potential for leverage in our operating model,” said Janesh Moorjani, chief financial officer. “As we move forward, we intend to continue to balance our investment in our top line growth with our commitment to drive annual improvement in our operating margin performance.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding. We also provide third fiscal quarter 2016 estimates for net revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding and fiscal 2016 estimates for net revenue and non-GAAP operating margin. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments based on the following items:
Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP operating results. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP operating results. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and it is not part of our core operations. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.    
Acquisition related expenses: We have excluded acquisition transaction costs from our non-GAAP operating results. We believe that to the extent we incur significant expenses in connection with our acquisitions, it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses.
Our non-GAAP Financial Measures are described as follows:
Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization expense. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by net revenue.
Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. Non-GAAP operating income is income (loss) from operations as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization expense and acquisition related expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income divided by net revenue.
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. Non-GAAP net income is net income (loss) as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization expense and acquisition related expenses with income taxes adjusted to reflect our estimated long-term effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP EPS is non-GAAP net income divided by non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
