Infinera Corporation Reports First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

SUNNYVALE, CA, Apr 28, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) —

Infinera Corporation (NASDAQ:INFN, news, filings), a leading provider of digital optical communications systems, today released financial results for the first quarter ended March 26, 2011.

--  GAAP revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $92.9 million
    compared to $117.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $95.8
    million in the first quarter of 2010.

--  GAAP gross margins for the quarter were 46% compared to 49% in the
    fourth quarter of 2010 and 39% in the first quarter of 2010. GAAP net
    loss for the quarter was $16.4 million, or $(0.16) per share, compared
    to net loss of $2.7 million, or $(0.03) per share, in the fourth
    quarter of 2010 and net loss of $20.0 million, or $(0.21) per share,
    in the first quarter of 2010.

--  Non-GAAP gross margins for the first quarter of 2011 were 48% compared
    to 51% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 41% in the first quarter of
    2010, excluding restructuring and other related costs and non-cash
    stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net loss for the first
    quarter of 2011 was $4.0 million, or $(0.04) per share, compared to
    net income of $7.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fourth
    quarter of 2010 and net loss of $7.0 million, or $(0.07) per share, in
    the first quarter of 2010.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results were achieved based on continuing demand for our product portfolio from our existing customers, which reflects continuing steady growth in end-user demand for bandwidth, but we saw slower new footprint activity in Q1 versus a year ago,” said Tom Fallon, president and chief executive officer. Customers continue to show strong interest in our Photonic Integrated Circuit technology and in the field trial demonstrations of the differentiated features of our upcoming new products — our 40G transmission solution with FlexCoherent technology and our next-generation 500Gb/s PIC solution, which will support 100G transmission applications.

“It is also important to note that we are growing the number of customers who are buying a multi-product Infinera solution. This includes customers buying either a combination of long-haul and metro solutions or a combination of terrestrial and subsea solutions. At the end of Q1, we had 26 multi-platform customers out of a total of 86 customers worldwide. This is an important trend as these customers have made a more significant architectural commitment to Infinera.

“Finally, we continue to build additional features and capabilities into our ATN metro platform, and in the second quarter we will add Ethernet aggregation functionality.”

Use of Non-GAAP financial information

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP measures that exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and non-recurring restructuring and other related costs. 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 (loss), basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, or gross margin 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. For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled, “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.” We anticipate disclosing forward-looking non-GAAP information in our conference call to discuss our first quarter results, including an estimate of non-GAAP earnings for the second quarter of 2011 that excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.
