Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 25, 2011, Tellabs, Inc. is reporting its results of operations for its fiscal fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010. A copy of the press release issued by Tellabs, Inc. concerning the foregoing results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and related information in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Tellabs, Inc., whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference to such filing. The information in this Item 2.02, including related information in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Tellabs, Inc. has provided non-GAAP financial measures in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 as additional information for its operating results. These measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from measures used by other companies. Whenever we use non-GAAP financial measures, we designate these measures, which exclude the effect of certain charges, as “adjusted” and provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measures eliminate certain items of expenses and losses from cost of revenue, operating expenses, other income and expenses, and income taxes. Management believes that this presentation enables investors to better evaluate the current operational and financial performance of our business and facilitate comparisons to historical results of operations. Management uses these measures for reviewing our financial results and for business planning and performance. Management discloses this information publicly along with a reconciliation of the comparable GAAP amounts, to provide access to the detail and general nature of adjustments made to GAAP financial results. While some of these excluded items have been periodically reported in our statements of operations, including significant restructuring and other charges, their occurrence in future periods depends on future business and economic factors, among other evaluation criteria, and the occurrence of such events and factors may frequently be beyond the control of management.
