- In the first half of 2023, Arista surpassed 75 million cloud

healthcare organization's networking infrastructure be secure,

Financial Outlook
For the third quarter of 2023, we expect:
- Revenue between $1.450 billion to $1.500 billion
- Non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 62%; and
- Non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 41%
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based
compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related
intangible assets, and potential non-recurring charges or benefits.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding
GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis because
these exclusions can be uncertain or difficult to predict,
including stock-based compensation expense which is impacted by the
company’s future hiring and retention needs and the future fair
market value of the company’s common stock. The actual amount of
these exclusions will have a significant impact on the company’s
GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating margin.

financial results on a conference call at 1:30 p.m. Pacific time

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially
from those anticipated in or implied by the forward-looking
statements including risks associated with: dependence on a limited
number of end customers who represent a substantial portion of our

spending, and the Russia/Ukraine conflict; changes in our customers
technology roadmaps and priorities including the need for the rapid
deployment of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and related
technologies; the impact of limited sources of supply on our
business, including significant purchase commitments, excess
inventory and extended lead times or supply changes; volatility in
our revenue growth rate; variations in our results of operations,
including as a result of seasonality; the rapid evolution of the
networking market; any failure to successfully pursue new products
and service offerings and expand into adjacent markets; variability
in our gross margins, including as a result of changes in customer
mix or product mix; intense competition; expansion of our
international sales and operations; investments in or acquisitions
of other businesses; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; any
failure to raise any needed capital; our ability to attract new
large end customers or sell additional products and services to
existing end customers; our ability to grow sales of our switches;
our ability to increase market awareness of our new products and
services; a decrease in the sales prices of our products and
services; a decline in maintenance renewals by end customers;
product quality problems; our ability to anticipate technological
shifts and develop products and product enhancements that meet
those technological shifts; any failure to manage the supply of our
products and product components, resulting in insufficient
component supply and inventory or excess inventory; our dependence
on third-party manufacturers to build our products; assertions by
third parties of infringement or other violations by us of their
intellectual property rights; our ability to protect our
intellectual property rights; vulnerabilities in our products and
failure of our products to detect security breaches; tax, tariff,
import/export restrictions, Chinese regulations or other trade

update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events
that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they
were made.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying table contain certain
non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit,
non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP
operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net
income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude
stock-based compensation expense, amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles and other acquisition-related
expenses, unrealized gains/losses on equity investments, and the
income tax effect of these non-GAAP exclusions. In addition,
non-GAAP financial measures exclude net tax benefits associated
with stock-based awards, which include excess tax benefits, and
other discrete indirect effects of such awards. The company uses
these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its
financial results and believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate
ongoing operating results and trends. In addition, these measures
are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for its
planning and forecasting for future periods.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial
measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to limitations,
and should be read only in conjunction with the company's
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
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. A description of these
non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the company’s
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
measures have been provided in the financial statement tables
included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to
review the reconciliation.
