Infinera Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Sunnyvale, CA, October 18, 2011 – Infinera Corporation (NASDAQ:INFN, news, filings), a leading provider of digital optical communications systems, today released financial results for the third quarter ended September 24, 2011.

GAAP revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $104.0 million compared to $96.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $130.1 million in the third quarter of 2010.

GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 39% compared to 39% in the second quarter of 2011 and 50% in the third quarter of 2010.  GAAP net loss for the quarter was $21.8 million, or $(0.21) per share, compared to net loss of $24.2 million, or $(0.23) per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and net income of $4.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 41% compared to 41% in the second quarter of 2011 and 51% in the third quarter of 2010, excluding restructuring and other related costs and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.  Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $9.2 million, or $(0.09) per share, compared to net loss of $11.7 million, or $(0.11) per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and net income of $18.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Management Commentary

“We remain encouraged by our recent revenue performance and the momentum in booking activity as customers continue to address their increased bandwidth needs with Infinera-based networks,” said Tom Fallon, president and chief executive officer. “Several factors are contributing to these trends– our significant installed base, the broader application of our product line, our expanded sales force and a stronger focus at Infinera on key vertical markets and across geographies.”

Fallon noted that the company’s top customer for the third quarter was one of North America’s leading cable companies and that the company’s pipeline remains active with opportunities in the submarine space and with wholesale carriers in North America and Europe. One of the company’s Tier 1 customers was among its top five customers in Q3.

“We were also pleased with the recent launch of the DTN-X, our new multi-terabit packet optical network  platform based on our third generation 500 Gb/s PICs, a pair of chips that integrate more than 600 optical functions and will deliver the world’s first 500 Gb/s FlexCoherent super-channels,” said Fallon. “Customer response to the value proposition of the DTN-X—as well to the newly enhanced features of the DTN—has been very positive. The DTN-X reinforces Infinera’s position at the forefront of the innovation curve in the optical transport industry at a time when the industry requires the next step function in capability.”

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 third quarter results, including an estimate of non-GAAP earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011 that excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.
