Infoblox Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2016 Results

Increases Share Repurchase Authorization by $150 Million


/EINPresswire.com/ -- SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - May 25, 2016) -  Infoblox (NYSE: BLOX), the network control company, today reported its financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2016. Total net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $82 million, an increase of 5% on a year-over-year basis.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net loss of $6 million, or $0.10 net loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with a net loss of $5 million, or $0.09 net loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $3 million, or $0.06 net income per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with net income of $7 million, or $0.12 net income per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

"Revenue for the third quarter was $82 million, in line with our May 9 preliminary announcement," said Jesper Andersen, president and chief executive officer. "While we continue to make good progress in product development, delivering products and services that support our customers' needs in core DDI, extending DDI to cloud environments, and securing their DNS infrastructure, our revenue results were weaker than we anticipated in what was a weaker than expected spending environment combined with a more rapid tapering down of our product upgrade cycle than we anticipated," continued Andersen. "Looking forward, a key priority is driving top line growth more profitably. We are taking actions to drive improved efficiency across the company and significantly higher operating margins in fiscal 2017. Importantly, we believe our competitive position continues to be strong, our addressable market is growing, and we are optimistic about the opportunities before us."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding. We also provide fourth fiscal quarter 2016 and fiscal 2016 estimates for net revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments based on the following items:

Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP operating results. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP operating results. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and it is not part of our core operations. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.

Acquisition related expenses: We have excluded acquisition transaction costs from our non-GAAP operating results. We believe that to the extent we incur significant expenses in connection with our acquisitions, it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses.

Our non-GAAP Financial Measures are described as follows:

Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization expense. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by net revenue.

Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. Non-GAAP operating income is income (loss) from operations as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization expense and acquisition related expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income divided by net revenue.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. Non-GAAP net income is net income (loss) as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization expense and acquisition related expenses with income taxes adjusted to reflect our estimated long-term effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP EPS is non-GAAP net income divided by non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures." No reconciliation of the forecasted ranges for non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin or non-GAAP EPS for the fourth fiscal quarter 2016 and fiscal 2016 is included in this release because the charges for our expected cost reduction activities that may impact the GAAP measure are not yet known and subject to change, and the variability of these charges could have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
