A10 Networks, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

• | Revenue of $45.1 million, up 50 percent year-over-year

• | Added 240 new customers and total customer base surpassed 3,300

• | U.S. revenue grew 154 percent year-over-year and 44 percent sequentially

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE July 30, 2014)-- A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ATEN), a technology leader in application networking, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Total revenue for the second quarter grew 50 percent year-over-year to $45.1 million, compared with $30.1 million in the second quarter of 2013.
“Our strong 50 percent year-over-year revenue growth demonstrates the progress we have made in growing our market footprint and diversifying our customer base,” said Lee Chen, president and chief executive officer of A10 Networks. “U.S. revenue more than doubled year-over-year and grew 44 percent over the first quarter, however, total revenue was slightly below our guidance as a result of lower service provider spending in Japan where several deals pushed into future quarters.
“Our recently introduced high-end Thunder products are gaining momentum in the market, validating the increased customer demand for higher scalability and throughput as well as greater price performance. We are very pleased with the significant increase in the number of deals currently in the pipeline, and we will continue to expand our market presence by investing in our sales team and expanding our channel partner program,” continued Chen.
A10 Networks second quarter 2014 GAAP net loss was $1.3 million compared with a net loss of $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $5.3 million, compared with non-GAAP net loss of $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the financial statements below.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” including statements regarding our ability to expand our market presence, including by investing in our sales team and expanding our channel partner program. 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, our ability to attract and retain new end-customers, continued growth in markets relating to network security, our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, the ability of our sales team to execute well, the ability for our channel partners to sell our products, our ability to achieve or maintain profitability while continuing to invest in our sales, marketing and research and development teams, variations in product mix or geographic locations of our sales, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, risks associated with our significant presence in international markets, the cost and potential outcomes of existing and future litigation, 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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 13, 2014. These filings are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and the company’s website.
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. 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 second quarter with 60.0 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.
