Brocade Reports Fiscal Q2 2014 Results

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - May 22, 2014) - Brocade^® (NASDAQ: BRCD) today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2014. Brocade reported second quarter revenue of $537 million, flat year-over-year and down 5% quarter-over-quarter. The company reported a GAAP loss per share of $(0.03), compared with a profit of $0.10 per share in Q2 2013. The GAAP loss was due to an $83 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge associated with the strategic repositioning of the ADX product family. More information on this subject is provided in the highlights section below. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.19, up from $0.17 in Q2 2013, principally due to higher gross margins and lower operating expenses.

"This was a solid quarter for Brocade in which our Storage Area Networking (SAN) revenue grew year-over-year and our refocused IP Networking business made good progress in the quarter," said Lloyd Carney, CEO of Brocade. "We see increasing customer interest in our software networking and Ethernet fabric technology as we drive innovation and disruption in data center networking. We are also pleased to report that our Board has approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.035 per share to be paid in Q3 2014."

Please see important note of explanation on non-GAAP financial measures below, including a detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information in the tables included herein.

Highlights:

• SAN business revenue, including products and services, was $379 million, up 1% year-over-year and down 8% sequentially. The year-over-year growth was primarily due to higher sales within the switch and embedded products as well as increased support revenue. The sequential decline was slightly better than expected in a seasonally soft quarter for many OEM partners of Brocade.
  
  
• IP Networking business revenue, including products and services, was $157 million, down 4% year-over-year and up 3% sequentially. The year-over-year decline was due to lower sales to the U.S. Federal government, the divestiture of the network adapter business, and the change in the Company's wireless business strategy. The sequential increase was principally due to higher sales of Ethernet switching products as well as increased support revenue. During Q2 2014, an estimated 57% of IP Networking product revenue came from data center customers, up 7 pts year-over-year and down 2 pts sequentially. The estimated percentage of revenue coming from data center IP Networking customers may fluctuate quarter-to-quarter due to the timing of large data center customer transactions.
  
  
• As part of the Company's previously communicated strategy to focus on the data center and other key technology segments, the Company made a strategic shift during Q2 2014 to reduce investment in the hardware-based ADX products and to increase investment in the software-based ADX products for the Layer 4-7 market. As a result of this change in strategy, the Company expects hardware-based ADX and related support revenue to be negatively impacted by $20 million to $40 million on an annualized basis compared with fiscal 2013 results. The Company recognized a related $83 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge in Q2 2014.
  
  
• The $83 million goodwill impairment charge is non-deductible for tax purposes resulting in the Company's effective GAAP tax provision rate being significantly higher in Q2 2014. In addition, the effective GAAP and non-GAAP tax provision rates for Q2 2014 were higher than Q2 2013 due to the R&D tax credit that expired on December 31, 2013 and has not been extended by Congress.
  
  
• The Brocade Board of Directors has initiated a quarterly cash dividend of $0.035 per share of the Company's common stock. The first dividend payment will be made on July 2, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of market on June 10, 2014. Future dividend payments are subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.

Please see important note of explanation on 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 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 product, support, and services revenues.
3)		Business revenue by use category split is estimated based on the analysis of the information the Company collects in its sales management system.
4)		Data Center includes enterprise, service provider, and government data center revenues.
5)		Adjusted EBITDA is as defined in the Company's Credit Agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. In evaluating Brocade's performance, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP.

Management believes that 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 to its competitors' operating results. Management also believes these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate Brocade's baseline performance before gains, losses or charges that are considered by management to be outside ongoing operating results. Accordingly, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting of future periods and in making decisions regarding operations performance 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 against industry and competitor companies;
• the ability to better identify trends in Brocade's underlying business and to perform related trend analysis;
• a better understanding of how management plans and measures Brocade's underlying business; and
• an easier way to compare Brocade's most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.
  
  

Management excludes certain gains or losses and benefits or costs in determining non-GAAP net income that are the result of infrequent events or 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) legal provision or recovery associated with certain pre-acquisition litigation, (ii) call premium cost and write-off of original issue discount and debt issuance costs related to lenders that did not participate in refinancing, (iii) settlement gain associated with certain pre-acquisition-related litigation, (iv) restructuring, goodwill impairment, and other related costs, net, (v) gain on sale of network adapter business and (vi) specific non-cash and non-recurring tax benefits or detriments.

Management also excludes the following non-cash charges in determining non-GAAP net income (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) amortization of purchased intangible assets. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types, management believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation allows for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies. Management also believes that the exclusion of 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 exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for Brocade's newly acquired and long-held businesses.

Finally, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the tax effects of the items noted above in order to present a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.

Limitations These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expense that impact the company. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering Brocade's GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures that Brocade uses are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by GAAP, such as operating income, net income and net income per-share, and should not be considered measurements of Brocade's liquidity. 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. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measurements reported by other companies.

Cautionary Statement
This press release contains statements that are forward-looking in nature, including statements regarding Brocade's strategy, operational performance and capital allocation. These statements are based on current expectations on the date of this press release and involve a number of risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ significantly from such estimates. The risks include, but are not limited to, changes in IT spending levels in one or more of our target markets, Brocade's ability to execute on its sale strategy, and the effect of increasing market competition and changes in the industry. Certain of these and other risks are set forth in more detail in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Brocade's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 26, 2013. Brocade does not assume any obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new developments or otherwise.
