Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” including statements regarding the continued acceptance of the company’s products in the marketplace and overall growth of the company’s business. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ include the continued market adoption of our products, our ability to successfully anticipate market needs and opportunities, our timely development of new products and features, any loss or delay of expected purchases by our largest end-customers, continued growth in markets relating to network security, management and analysis, increased cost requirements of being a public company and future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur.

More information about potential factors that could affect the company’s business and financial results is included in our 424(b) prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 21, 2014, and in our future quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K and other filings made with the SEC, under the captions: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Risk Factors,” which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and which future reports will be available on the company’s website at www.investors.a10networks.com.

All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to the company as of the date hereof. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 financial measures, including non-GAAP net income (loss). Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

A10 Networks considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the company, exclusive of unusual events or factors that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance, and are used by the company’s management for that purpose. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as our net income (loss) excluding: (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) amounts paid in settlement of, and other expenses associated with, the Brocade litigation. The change in the company’s share count should be considered when comparing net income (loss) per share to prior periods. Effective upon A10’s initial public offering (IPO) in March 2014, the company’s preferred stock warrants became exercisable for common stock. The net loss per share for the first quarter of 2014 was based upon 13.9 million weighted average shares outstanding, which weights the conversion of preferred stock to common stock as in accordance with GAAP. This compares with 9.0 million for the first quarter of 2013. In connection with its IPO, the company issued 9.0 million shares of common stock and 40.0 million shares of preferred stock converted into common stock. A10 ended the first quarter with 51.3 million shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average pro forma basis reflecting the full conversion of preferred stock into common stock

We have included non-GAAP net income (loss) in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure attached to this release.
