Management Commentary

“We are pleased with the continuation of our sequential growth in revenues and gross margins in the fourth quarter as well as our record bookings for the quarter and year, reflecting our success in expanding our customer footprint throughout fiscal year 2009, ” said Tom Fallon, president and chief executive officer. “In the fourth quarter, we invoiced our highest level of tributary adapter modules (TAMs) in six quarters and saw continued strength in our common equipment sales.”

“We are seeing good opportunities with both current and prospective customers across all served markets,” said Fallon. “The market continues to embrace Infinera’s disruptive PIC-based approach of providing the best, most cost-effective and most flexible optical networks to address their bandwidth needs — both with our existing products and the new products on our roadmap. To meet these needs, we are committed to continuing to invest in technologies and products that will advance Infinera’s technology leadership position across our expanded addressable markets of submarine, ultra long haul, long haul, metro core, and metro edge.”

The company noted the following additional developments:

  • The addition of three new customers bringing the company’s total customer count to 69.
  • Among the new customers was Tiscali, one of the leading telecommunications companies in Italy, which selected both the Infinera DTN and ATN for its nationwide Italian backbone and metro networks.
  • Shipment of Infinera equipment for a nationwide build-out for an unnamed leading internet content provider in the fourth quarter — for a win that was achieved and for which initial orders were received in Q3. As a result of this rapid deployment, the customer finished as Infinera’s top customer for the first time in Q4.
  • The other large Q4 customer was Level 3, which contributed 12% of revenues vs. slightly less than 10% in Q3.
  • The top 5 customers for the quarter included two of the largest internet content providers in the world, two established European customers, as well as Level 3.
  • In addition to previously announced submarine network wins in the Americas with Global Crossing and Telefonica, the company recently won a 6,000 kilometer Trans-Atlantic submarine route with an existing customer.

Note: For an explanation of our use of Non-GAAP and Adjusted GAAP measures and a full reconciliation of these measures to our GAAP results, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled “GAAP to Non-GAAP and Adjusted GAAP Reconciliations.” We have not shown comparisons to our fourth quarter and fiscal 2008 GAAP results in the body of this press release because those results were significantly affected by the recognition of ratable product and related support and services revenue from shipments made prior to the fourth quarter of 2008, which we believe makes those comparisons less useful for investors. See our GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations attached to this release for these GAAP to GAAP comparisons.

Use of Non-GAAP and Adjusted GAAP Information:

As described below, Infinera uses various non-GAAP and adjusted GAAP financial measures to supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying financial performance and also our prospects for the future and are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or basic and diluted net income per share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations.

Our usage of these non-GAAP and adjusted GAAP measures are further explained below:

--  Effective April 2008, we had established VSOE of fair value for most
    of our service offerings. From the second quarter of 2008 to the fourth
    quarter of 2008, we used adjusted GAAP measures of operating results, net
    income and net income per share.  Adjusted GAAP results reflected our GAAP
    results reduced for amounts released from deferred revenue and deferred
    cost of inventory balances recorded prior to the second quarter of 2008 and
    previously reported in our invoiced shipment results.  Deferred services
    and deferred ratable and product revenue and cost amounts recorded after
    March 29, 2008 were not adjusted and were recognized on a GAAP basis in
    arriving at the adjusted GAAP results.  We presented these non-GAAP
    measures of operating results, net income and net income per share, which
    included adjusted GAAP results and excluded non-GAAP stock-based
    compensation expense for these periods.

--  In the first quarter of 2009, we began using more traditional non-
    GAAP financial measures, which reflect our GAAP results and exclude non-
    recurring restructuring and other related costs and stock-based
    compensation related expenses.  All material deferred revenue and deferred
    cost of inventory balances recorded prior to the second quarter of 2008 and
    previously reported in our invoiced shipment results were recognized in our
    GAAP results prior to December 27, 2008. Therefore, no further adjustments,
    other than the exclusion of non-recurring restructuring and other related
    costs and stock-based compensation expense will be made to our GAAP results
    on a go-forward basis.


(a) Adjustment amount represents restructuring and other related costs recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009 related to the closure of our Maryland FAB announced on July 21, 2009. These amounts have been adjusted in arriving at our non-GAAP results as they are non-recurring in nature and the adjusted numbers provide a better indication of our underlying business performance.

(d) Adjustment amount represents the release of ratable and product deferred revenue amounts related to periods prior to March 29, 2008 as these amounts have been previously reported as invoiced shipments. No adjustment has been made for changes in deferred services revenue as these amounts relate to future service deliverables and are appropriately deferred. Deferred ratable and product amounts recorded after March 29, 2008 have not been adjusted as these amounts are recognized on a GAAP basis in arriving at the adjusted GAAP results.

(f) Excluded amount represents stock-based compensation expense on a non-GAAP basis. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the fair value provisions of the Equity Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. While this is a large component of our expense, we believe investors want to evaluate our financial results both including and excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods.

The stock-based compensation expense excluded from cost of revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure and is reconciled to the corresponding GAAP amount in the table below:

(i) Adjustment amount represents the release of ratable and deferred product cost amounts related to periods prior to March 29, 2008 as these amounts have been previously included as invoiced shipments. Deferred ratable and product amounts recorded after March 29, 2008 have not been adjusted as these amounts are recognized on a GAAP basis in arriving at the adjusted GAAP results.

The deferred cost of inventory adjustments recorded above are reconciled to the deferred cost of inventory balance on our balance sheet in the table below:
