A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is
contained in the financial statements below.
“Consistent with our prior comments and expectations, the North
American service provider market remains volatile, impacting our
quarter-to-quarter visibility,” commented Dhrupad Trivedi, A10
Network’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “While elongated
sales cycles have slowed service provider revenue, we continue to
believe that we have not lost those customer opportunities to
competitors or cancellations, and demand for our security-led
solutions remains robust. The Enterprise segment continues to grow
in line with our stated strategy. During the second quarter,
Enterprise revenue increased 25% and year-to-date, Enterprise
revenue was up 7%. We continue to increase our research and
development investments, focused on enterprise-targeted solutions
and capitalizing on AI-driven market potential, to better position
A10 to capture growth opportunities in the future.”
“Despite the macro challenges, we continued to deliver
bottom-line results in-line with expectations while returning
significant capital to shareholders,” added Trivedi. “We believe
our business model enables solid and consistent profitability, and
our revenue diversification positions A10 to navigate challenging
market conditions.”

Forward-Looking
Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements,”
including statements regarding our quarterly dividend payments and
stock repurchase program, strategy, growth, customer opportunities,
demand, positioning, profitability, revenue and expectations for
2024, market trends, investments and return of capital.
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 that may cause actual results to differ include any
unforeseen need for capital which may require us to divert funds we
may have otherwise used for the dividend program or stock
repurchase program, which may in turn negatively impact our ability
to administer the quarterly dividends or the repurchase of our
common stock; a significant decline in global macroeconomic or
political conditions that have an adverse impact on our business
and financial results; business interruptions related to our supply
chain; our ability to manage our business and expenses if customers
cancel or delay orders; execution risks related to closing key
deals and improving our execution; the continued market adoption of
our products; our ability to successfully anticipate market needs
and opportunities; our timely development of new products and
features; our ability to achieve or maintain profitability; any
loss or delay of expected purchases by our largest end-customers;
our ability to maintain or improve our competitive position;
competitive and execution risks related to cloud-based computing
trends; our ability to attract and retain new end-customers and our
largest end-consumers; our ability to maintain and enhance our
brand and reputation; changes demanded by our customers in the
deployment and payment model for our products; continued growth in
markets relating to network security; the success of any future
acquisitions or investments in complementary companies, products,
services or technologies; the ability of our sales team to execute
well; our ability to shorten our close cycles; the ability of our
channel partners to sell our products; variations in product mix or
geographic locations of our sales; risks associated with our
presence in international markets; weaknesses or deficiencies in
our internal control over financial reporting; our ability to
timely file periodic reports required to be filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and other risks that are described
in “Risk Factors” in our periodic filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024. We do not
intend to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except
as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), we refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including
non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted
share (or non-GAAP EPS), non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin,
non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP operating
expenses, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. 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.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We define non-GAAP net income as our GAAP net income excluding:
(i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii)
restructuring expense, (iii) cyber incident remediation expense,
(iv) one-time tax planning expense, (v) one-time legal expense and
(vi) income tax effect of non-GAAP items (i) to (v) listed above.
We define non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share as our
non-GAAP net income divided by our basic and diluted
weighted-average shares outstanding. We define non-GAAP gross
profit as our GAAP gross profit excluding (i) stock-based
compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) restructuring expense
and (iii) cyber incident remediation expense. We define non-GAAP
gross margin as our non-GAAP gross profit divided by our GAAP
revenue. We define non-GAAP operating expenses as our GAAP
operating expenses excluding (i) stock-based compensation and
related payroll tax, (ii) restructuring expense, (iii) cyber
incident remediation expense, (iv) one-time tax planning expense
and (v) one-time legal expense. We define non-GAAP operating income
as our GAAP income from operations excluding (i) stock-based
compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) restructuring expense,
(iii) cyber incident remediation expense, (iv) one-time tax
planning expense and (v) one-time legal expense. We define non-GAAP
operating margin as our non-GAAP operating income divided by our
GAAP revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our GAAP net income
excluding (i) interest and other (income) expense, net, (ii)
depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) provision for income
taxes, (iv) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (v)
restructuring expense, (vi) cyber incident remediation expense,
(vii) one-time tax planning expense and (viii) one-time legal
expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as our Adjusted EBITDA
divided by our GAAP revenue.
Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental
informational purposes only for understanding the company's
operating results.

Net income and earnings per share excluding adjustments are

These financial measures should not be considered an alternative to
net income, operating income, cash flows provided by operating
activities, or any other measure of financial performance or
liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our adjusted net
income and earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of another company because companies may not all
calculate adjusted net income and earnings per share in the same
manner.
