Aerohive NetworksTM Reports Q2 2018 Results, with Record Non-GAAP Profitability
MILPITAS, CA — August 1, 2018 — Aerohive NetworksTM (NYSE: HIVE), a Cloud Networking Leader, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
"We're pleased with our performance in the second quarter, as we continue to improve our execution and strengthen our financial foundation. We grew our Enterprise business by double digits, which has further lowered our dependence on the U.S. K-12 market," stated David Flynn, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We're excited to continue the momentum created by our recent new product introductions and are pleased with the strong interest in A3, our first standalone security product."
Financial Summary
Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $40.5 million, compared with $42.2 million for the second quarter of 2017. Subscription and support revenue was $11.2 million, or 28% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared with $10.1 million, or 24% of total revenue, for the second quarter of 2017.
On a GAAP basis, net loss was $2.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared with a net loss of $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2017. GAAP gross margin was 66.0% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared with 67.7% for the second quarter of 2017.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared with a net income of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP gross margin was 66.7% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, compared with 68.5% for the second quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Aerohive’s results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2018 reported in this press release and the related earnings conference call include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including:
 
non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin;
non-GAAP product gross profit and non-GAAP product gross margin;
non-GAAP subscription and support gross profit and non-GAAP subscription and support gross margin;
non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating margin;
non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share;
non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP functional expenses; and
non-GAAP operating expense percentage and non-GAAP functional expense percentage.
The Company defines non-GAAP financial measures to exclude share-based compensation, adjustments to internal-use software amortization, and certain charges related to litigation and restructuring.
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because the Company believes they are key measures which can be used to evaluate the business, measure performance, identify trends affecting the business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business.

Although investors frequently use non-GAAP financial measures in their evaluations of companies, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
 
the non-GAAP measures do not consider the expense related to stock-based compensation, which is an ongoing expense for the Company;
although amortization of internal-use software is a non-cash charge, the assets being amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP income (loss) per share do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements;
excluding certain expenses associated with litigation in the quarter or fiscal year does not reflect the impact on our ongoing operations over this period of the cash requirement to defend such or other litigation;
excluding restructuring charges in the quarter or fiscal year does not reflect the cash requirement relating to the costs associated with restructuring and primarily relates to employee termination costs and benefits; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may not exclude these as non-GAAP financial measures or may include them but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider non-GAAP financial measures only together with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and other GAAP results.
We have provided a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the Company's historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and we encourage investors to review the reconciliation.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP guidance measures is not available on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges that we exclude from these non-GAAP measures.
