Financial Guidance
Procera is reiterating its annual revenue guidance for 2011 of $30 million, representing growth of 50% year-over-year.
James Brear, president and CEO of Procera Networks, commented, “We are executing well on our growth plan and our strong revenue and bookings in the first quarter reflect our success in generating follow-on orders from our existing Tier-1 customers and converting trials into new customer wins. During the quarter, we received follow-on orders from six of our existing 13 Tier-1 service provider customers; three of these orders from mobile operators. In addition, we announced two new Tier-1 European service provider customers in April, winning initial orders from a leading cable MSO and a Tier-1 fixed/mobile operator.
“Adding to our strategic partnerships, we signed a new alliance during the first quarter with F5 Networks that provides technology synergies between the two companies. We are gaining increasing traction within the rapidly growing mobility market, a key targeted vertical, and are benefiting from the accelerating demand for mobile data that is impacting the ability of service providers to effectively manage their bandwidth capacity and maintain quality of service, driving the need for Intelligent Policy Enforcement. As we continue to expand our market reach and opportunities, carriers around the world are increasingly recognizing the value in our products as a revenue generating technology that can help them differentiate their service and provide a better experience,” Mr. Brear concluded.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements relating to expectations for revenue growth in 2011, our ability to win new business, potential benefits from partnerships and alliances, including with GENBAND and F5 Networks, obtaining follow-on orders from new and existing customers, and the expected demand for Procera Networks' products and services. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not fully materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including risks related to our ability to raise capital; the acceptance and adoption of our products; our ability to service and upgrade our products; lengthy sales cycles and lab and field trial delays by service providers; our dependence on a limited product line; our dependence on key employees; our ability to compete in our industry with companies that are significantly larger and have greater resources; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights in a global market; our ability to manufacture product quickly enough to meet potential demand; and other risks and uncertainties described more fully in our documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about these and other risks that may impact Procera Networks’ business are set forth in our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2010. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Procera’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding consolidated GAAP measures and related segment information, provide incremental insight into the underlying factors and trends affecting both Procera’s performance and its cash generating potential. Management believes these non-GAAP measures increase the transparency of the company’s current results and enable investors to more fully understand trends in its current and future performance.

Thus, in addition to the 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 that we believe are helpful in understanding our financial performance. 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, "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations." Management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments for stock-based compensation expenses: we have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees and consultants, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not consistent with GAAP because they do not fully reflect non-cash expenses. The above-mentioned non-GAAP measures are generated by adjusting the related GAAP measures solely to reverse the effect of the above mentioned non-cash expenses. The Company uses these financial measures to provide additional insight into current operating and business trends not readily apparent from the GAAP results.
Management believes users of Procera’s financial statements will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, management recognizes that:
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company’s GAAP financial measures;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial measures;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company’s GAAP financial measures;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with GAAP and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principles; and
|
|
·
|
management intends to continue to track and present these non-GAAP financial measures for future periods.
|
Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to Procera, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company’s results to the results of other companies.
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures appears at the end of this press release.
