8-K - CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K - CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.d8k.htm
EX-99.1 - PRESS RELEASE OF REGISTRANT - CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.dex991.htm

Exhibit 99.2

The following is the transcript of a video of the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer discussing the results of operations for the Registrant’s fiscal first quarter ended October 24, 2009.

I’m Frank Calderoni, Cisco’s CFO.

Today, we announced very solid results for the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010, representing two quarters of sequentially positive revenue growth with first quarter net sales of $9 billion.

On a GAAP basis, net income was $1.8 billion or $0.30 per share. We delivered earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis of $0.36 per share, driven by strength across our broad portfolio and an intense focus on execution. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $2.1 billion.

Our results validate our strategy and portfolio approach in balancing disciplined expense management with strategic investment, and driving continued profitability through varying economic environments.

We exit this quarter with a very compelling financial position and an innovation engine that we believe will position us to capture market transitions and expand our leadership in the marketplace.

Thank you.
