Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our strategy, future
operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are
forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,”
“target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-
looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should
not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans,
intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. The forward-looking statements contained in
this presentation reflect our current views with respect to future events, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-
looking statements.
Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of the preliminary
prospectus, and our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We have included important factors
in the cautionary statements included in the Form 10-K for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 and other
documents we have filed with the SEC, particularly in the Risk Factors section, that we believe could cause actual results or
events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Except as required by law, we assume no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes measures defined by the SEC as non-GAAP financial measures.  We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures can provide useful supplemental information to investors when read in conjunction with our reported results.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP measures are available in the Appendix to this
presentation and descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures can be find in our earnings release with respect to our
fourth quarter and full year 2016 results.

1 This is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as defined in Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
is
provided
in
the
Appendix
to
this
presentation.
Descriptions
of
this
non-GAAP
financial
measure
can

Long-Term Financial Goals
These long-term financial goals are forward-looking, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and are based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to
change. Actual results will vary and those variations may be material.  For discussion of some of the important factors that could cause these variations, please consult the “Risk Factors” section of the
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, that we have filed with the SEC.  These long-term financial goals include “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and reconciliations of such historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided in the Appendix to this presentation.  Acacia Communications has not reconciled the forward-looking non-GAAP measures included in these long-term
financial goals because the expected tax benefits derived from any disqualifying dispositions of equity awards during the periods included in these long-range goals cannot be reasonably calculated or
predicted at this time and, accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.  Descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures included in these long-term financial goals can
be found in the company’s earnings release with respect to its fourth quarter and full year 2016 results.
