Brocade Reports Fiscal Q1 2017 Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., February 23, 2017 — Brocade® (NASDAQ: BRCD) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended January 28, 2017. Brocade reported first quarter revenue of $581 million, up 1% year-over-year and down 12% quarter-over-quarter. The Company reported a GAAP loss per share of $0.01, down from diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.23 and $0.16 in Q1 2016 and Q4 2016, respectively. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.16 for Q1 2017, down from non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.29 and $0.33 in Q1 2016 and Q4 2016, respectively. The year-over-year decline in both GAAP and non-GAAP diluted EPS primarily reflects lower SAN revenue and lower IP Networking wired switch and router revenue, offset by the added revenue from the Ruckus Wireless acquisition. The sequential decline in both GAAP and non-GAAP diluted EPS is primarily due to lower IP Networking revenue, attributed in part to customer uncertainty surrounding the pending acquisition of Brocade by Broadcom Limited (“Broadcom”) and Broadcom’s publicly announced post-closing plan to divest Brocade’s IP Networking business. In addition, both the year-over-year and sequential quarterly declines in GAAP diluted EPS reflect the inclusion of certain acquisition-related expenses that negatively impacted Q1 2017 results.

In light of the pending Broadcom acquisition, Brocade will not provide fiscal Q2 2017 guidance and will not hold a conference call to discuss these financial results. In addition, on February 22, 2017, Broadcom and ARRIS International plc announced that they have reached an agreement for ARRIS to acquire Brocade’s Ruckus Wireless and ICX campus switch businesses. This transaction is expected to be completed after the close of Broadcom’s acquisition of Brocade.

Highlights:
SAN product revenue of $307 million was down 12% year-over-year. The decline was primarily the result of lower Fibre Channel director and embedded switch sales, which both declined 20% year-over-year. Sequentially, SAN product revenue increased 1%, with fixed-configuration switch revenue up 6%, partially offset by lower director and embedded switch revenues, which were down 2% and 8%, respectively. The year-over-year and sequential revenue performance was impacted by competition from alternative storage networking technologies and architectures, and customer uncertainty surrounding the pending acquisition of Brocade by Broadcom.

Page 1 of 11


IP Networking product revenue of $174 million, including $72 million of product revenue from Ruckus Wireless, was up 30% year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to added wireless revenue following the acquisition of Ruckus Wireless in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, partially offset by lower wired switch and router revenue. Sequentially, IP Networking product revenue decreased 32%, primarily due to Broadcom’s planned divestiture of Brocade’s IP Networking business.

Board Declares Dividend:
The Brocade Board of Directors has declared a regular second fiscal quarter cash dividend of $0.055 per share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend payment will be made on April 4, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of market on March 10, 2017.

Please see important note of explanation about the use of non-GAAP financial measures below, including a detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information in the tables included herein.
(1)
Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on known product delivery location. Since some OEM partners take delivery of Brocade products domestically and then ship internationally to their end users, the percentage of international revenues based on end-user location would likely be higher.
(2)
SAN and IP Networking business revenues include hardware and software product, support, and services revenues.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis, Brocade provides information presented on a non-GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, financial information presented on a GAAP basis. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The most directly comparable GAAP information and a reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP amounts is provided in the tables at the end of this press release.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release allow management to gain a better understanding of Brocade’s comparative operating performance, both from period to period and relative to its competitors. These non-GAAP financial measures also help with the determination of Brocade’s baseline performance before gains, losses or charges that are considered by management to be outside of ongoing operating results. Accordingly, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting of future periods and in making decisions regarding operations and the allocation of resources.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with Brocade’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of Brocade’s ongoing operating results;

the ability to make more meaningful comparisons of Brocade’s operating performance relative to its competitors;

the ability to better identify trends in Brocade’s underlying business and to perform related trend analyses; and

a better understanding of how management plans and measures Brocade’s underlying business.

In determining non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, management excludes certain gains or losses and benefits or costs that are the result of events that arise outside the ordinary course of Brocade’s continuing operations. Management believes that it is appropriate to evaluate Brocade’s operating performance by excluding those items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results or limit comparability. Such items include, but are not limited to: (i) impact to cost of revenues from purchase accounting adjustments to inventory; (ii) acquisition and integration costs; and (iii) restructuring and other related benefits.

Management also excludes the following non-cash charges in determining these non-GAAP financial measures: (i) stock-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of purchased intangible assets; and (iii) non-cash interest expense related to the convertible debt.

Management believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation allows for more accurate comparisons of Brocade’s operating results to Brocade’s peer companies. This is due to the varying use of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the exclusion of the expense associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is appropriate because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have short lives, and the exclusion of amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for Brocade’s newly acquired and long-held businesses. In connection with the convertible debt, under the relevant accounting guidance, a non-cash interest expense is recognized for the convertible debt as an imputed interest expense for the conversion feature. Management believes excluding the non-cash interest expense related to the convertible debt from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors because the expense does not represent a cash outflow in the respective reporting periods and is not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Finally, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the tax effects of the items noted above and (i) tax charges and benefits related to unusual or infrequent intercompany transactions; (ii) tax charges or benefits that are a result of the implementation of restructuring plans; and (iii) tax charges resulting from the integration of intellectual property assets from acquisitions. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from its non-GAAP tax provision provides a more meaningful measure of Brocade’s operational performance of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

Limitations: These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations because they do not include all items of income and expense that impact the company. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measurements reported by other companies. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. Management also provides robust and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, and management encourages investors to review carefully those reconciliations.
