JUNIPER NETWORKS REPORTS PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July  25, 2019 - Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today reported preliminary financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and provided its outlook for the three months ending September 30, 2019.
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Performance
Net revenues were $1,102.5 million, a decrease of 8% year-over-year, and an increase of 10% sequentially.
GAAP operating margin was 7.5%, a decrease from 13.3% in the second quarter of 2018, and an increase from 4.3% in the first quarter of 2019.
Non-GAAP operating margin was 15.8%, a decrease from 18.5% in the second quarter of 2018, and an increase from 11.2% in the first quarter of 2019.
GAAP net income was $46.2 million, a decrease of 60% year-over-year, and an increase of 49% sequentially, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.13.
Non-GAAP net income was $139.5 million, a decrease of 18% year-over-year, and an increase of 50% sequentially, resulting in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.40.
“We experienced encouraging trends during the June quarter, as we saw sequential revenue growth across industry verticals and technologies,” said Rami Rahim, chief executive officer, Juniper Networks. “We are making progress with our sales transformation efforts which, along with our strong pipeline of opportunities, is providing confidence in our ability to not only deliver sequential revenue growth through the remainder of the year, but also a return to year-over-year growth during the December quarter.”
“We executed well during the June quarter, achieving our revenue guidance and exceeding the midpoint of our non-GAAP earnings per share outlook, despite incremental China tariffs and a higher non-GAAP tax rate,” said Ken Miller, chief financial officer, Juniper Networks. “We have made substantial progress mitigating the impact of the incremental China tariffs and will continue to further optimize our supply chain. These factors, along with sequential second half revenue growth; and strong cost management should enable us to deliver improved profitability in the back half of 2019.”

Balance Sheet and Other Financial Results
Total cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of June 30, 2019 were $2,875.0 million, compared to $3,530.5 million as of June 30, 2018, and $3,502.7 million as of March 31, 2019.
Net cash flows provided by operations for the second quarter of 2019 was $88.8 million, compared to $170.3 million in the second quarter of 2018, and $159.4 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was 54 days in the second quarter of 2019, compared to 52 days in the second quarter of 2018, and 58 days in the first quarter of 2019.
Capital expenditures were $27.3 million, and depreciation and amortization expense were $56.4 million during the second quarter of 2019.
Juniper’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share to be paid on September 25, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 4, 2019.
Outlook
These metrics are provided on a non-GAAP basis, except for revenue and share count. Non-GAAP earnings per share is on a fully diluted basis. The outlook assumes that the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to other currencies will remain relatively stable at current levels.
Our second-half revenue outlook reiterates the commentary we stated previously, which reflects our expectations on above normal seasonal trends and a return to year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter due to our current pipeline of opportunities as well as the expected positive impact from our go-to-market transformation activities.
We remain confident in the long-term financial model we outlined at our Investor Day in November last year.
Full-year non-GAAP gross margin is expected to continue to be pressured by China tariffs, despite our ongoing mitigation efforts. The increase in tariffs from 10% to 25% is expected to have a 30-50 basis point impact on full-year non-GAAP gross margin.
We plan to manage our operating expenses prudently; however, we continue to expect non-GAAP operating expenses on a full-year basis to be flat to slightly up versus 2018, inclusive of Mist Systems. In the second quarter of 2019, we adopted a full-year projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across reporting periods.
For the remainder of 2019, we expect a non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 19.5%.
Due to the increased China tariffs and a higher non-GAAP tax rate, we now expect our full-year non-GAAP earnings per share to be at the low-end of the previously stated range of $1.75 +/- $0.05.
Our guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2019 is as follows:
 
 	•	 	Revenue will be approximately $1,145 million, plus or minus $30 million.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP gross margin will be approximately 60.0%, plus or minus 1%.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP operating expenses will be approximately $488 million, plus or minus $5 million.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP operating margin will be approximately 17.5% at the midpoint of revenue guidance.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP net income per share will be approximately $0.46, plus or minus $0.03. This assumes a share count of approximately 348 million.

All forward-looking non-GAAP measures exclude estimates for amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related charges, restructuring benefits or charges, impairment charges, strategic partnership-related charges, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, supplier component remediation charges and recoveries, gain or loss on equity investments, retroactive impact of certain tax settlements, significant effects of tax legislation and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations, including the impact of income tax reform, non-recurring income tax adjustments, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP exclusions, and do not include the impact of further changes to previously announced tariffs and the impact of any future acquisitions, divestitures, or joint ventures that may occur in the period. Juniper is unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the overall high variability and low visibility of most of the foregoing items that have been excluded. For example, share-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company’s future hiring needs, the type and volume of equity awards necessary for such future hiring, and the price at which the Company’s stock will trade in those future periods. Amortization of intangible assets is significantly impacted by the timing and size of any future acquisitions. The items that are being excluded are difficult to predict and a reconciliation could result in disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading. Material changes to any one of these items could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results. Certain exclusions, such as amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses, are generally incurred each quarter, but the amounts have historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, including the tables above, includes the following non-GAAP financial measures derived from our Preliminary Consolidated Statements of Operations: operating income; operating margin; net income; and diluted net income per share. These measures are not presented in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for GAAP. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures used in the table above should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, certain of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future.
We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures presented above to be helpful in assessing the performance of the continuing operation of our business. By continuing operation, we mean the ongoing revenue and expenses of the business, excluding certain items that render comparisons with prior periods or analysis of on-going operating trends more difficult, such as expenses not directly related to the actual cash costs of development, sale, delivery or support of our products and services, or expenses that are reflected in periods unrelated to when the actual amounts were incurred or paid. Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of our financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. In addition, we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community and believe that continuing to provide non-GAAP measures provides investors with a tool for comparing results over time. In assessing the overall health of our business for the periods covered by the table above and, in particular, in evaluating the financial line items presented in the table above, we have excluded items in the following three general categories, each of which are described below: Acquisition-Related Charges, Other Items, and Share-Based Compensation Related Items. We also provide additional detail below regarding the shares used to calculate our non-GAAP net income per share. Notes identified for line items in the table above correspond to the appropriate note description below. With respect to the items excluded from our forward-looking non-GAAP measures and reconciliation of such measures, please see the “Outlook” section above.
Note A: Acquisition-Related Charges . We exclude certain expense items resulting from acquisitions including amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. The amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions results in our recording expenses in our GAAP financial statements that were already expensed by the acquired company before the acquisition and for which we have not expended cash. Moreover, had we internally developed the products acquired, the amortization of intangible assets, and the expenses of uncompleted research and development would have been expensed in prior periods. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses. In addition, acquisitions result in non-continuing operating expenses, which would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP information for acquisition-related expense items in addition to the corresponding GAAP information allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our continuing operations, and also facilitates comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies.
Note B: Other Items . We exclude certain other items that are the result of either unique, infrequent or unplanned events, including the following, when applicable: (i) restructuring charges or benefits; (ii) strategic partnership-related charges (iii) legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits; (iv) gain or loss on equity investments; (v) significant effects of tax legislation and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations, including the impact of income tax reform; (vi) recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits that are non-recurring in nature; (vii) the income tax effect on our financial statements of excluding items related to our non-GAAP financial measures. It is difficult to estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, these transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods. Restructuring benefits or charges result from events that arise from unforeseen circumstances, which often occur outside of the ordinary course

of continuing operations. These expenses do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing business operations for the period in which they are incurred. We also exclude certain expenses incurred for the formation of a strategic partnership, as they are directly related to an event that is distinct and does not reflect current ongoing business operations. In the case of legal reserves and settlements, these gains or losses are recorded in the period in which the matter is concluded or resolved even though the subject matter of the underlying dispute may relate to multiple or different periods. As such, we believe that these expenses do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing operations for the period in which they are incurred. Additionally, we exclude previously unrecognized tax benefits that are non-recurring in nature which are recorded in the period in which applicable statutes of limitation lapse or upon the completion of tax review cycles as the tax matter may relate to multiple or different periods. Further, the impact of certain income tax reform, including the revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities are unique events that occur in periods that are generally unrelated to the level of business activity to which such tax reform or legislation applies. We believe these tax events limit the comparability with prior periods and that these expenses or benefits do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing business operations for the period in which they are incurred. We also believe providing financial information with and without the income tax effect of excluding items related to our non-GAAP financial measures provide our management and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding the on-going performance and future liquidity of our business. Because of these factors, we assess our operating performance with these amounts both included and excluded, and by providing this information, we believe the users of our financial statements are better able to understand the financial results of what we consider our continuing operations.
Note C: Share-Based Compensation Related Items . We provide non-GAAP information relative to our expense for share-based compensation and related payroll tax. Due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types, which affect the calculations of share-based compensation, we believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation and related payroll tax allows for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies and is useful to investors to understand the impact of share-based compensation to our results of operations. Further, expense associated with granting share-based awards does not reflect any cash expenditures by the company as no cash is expended.
Note D: Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share Items . We provide diluted non-GAAP net income per share. The diluted non-GAAP net income per share includes additional dilution from potential issuance of common stock, except when such issuances would be anti-dilutive.

Q2 2019 Overview
We ended the second quarter at $1,102 million in revenue, in-line with our guidance. Non-GAAP gross margin of 59.2% was slightly below the midpoint of guidance primarily due to higher tariff costs. These results, along with prudent expense management, drove non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.40, a penny above the midpoint of our forecast.
Looking at our revenue by vertical, all verticals grew sequentially, as expected. Cloud was up 28%, Enterprise grew 8% and Service Provider increased 3% sequentially. On a year-over-year basis, Service Provider declined 15% and Cloud was flat. Though Enterprise decreased 6% year-over-year, bookings increased double-digits year-over-year.
From a technology perspective, Routing decreased 15% year-over-year and increased 11% sequentially. Switching decreased 15% year-over-year and increased 22% sequentially. Security increased 2% year-over-year and 20% sequentially. Our Services business increased 2% year-over-year and 1% sequentially.
Software revenue continued to grow year-over-year and was greater than 10 percent of total revenue.
In reviewing our top 10 customers for the quarter, four were Cloud, five were Service Provider, and one was an Enterprise. In the quarter, we had one customer that accounted for greater than 10% of total revenue, from the Cloud vertical.
Product deferred revenue was $133 million, down 6% year-over-year due to the timing of the delivery of contractual commitments.
Non-GAAP operating expenses were down 2% year-over-year and 1% sequentially.
Cash flow from operations was $89 million for the quarter. We paid $66 million in dividends, reflecting a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share.
Total cash, cash equivalents, and investments at the end of the second quarter of 2019 was $2.9 billion. The sequential decline was due primarily to cash outflows associated with the acquisition of Mist Systems and our recent accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program.

Revenue
Product & Service
 
 	•	 	Routing product revenue : $416 million, down 15% year-over-year and up 11% sequentially.

 	•	 	GAAP product gross margin : 56.0%, down 3.2 points from the prior year and down 0.4 points from last quarter.	
Year-over-year, the decrease in GAAP product gross margin was primarily due to lower revenue and higher intangible amortization associated with the acquisition of Mist Systems.
The sequential decrease in GAAP product gross margin was primarily due to higher intangible amortization associated with the acquisition of Mist Systems.
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP product gross margin : 57.5%, down 2.4 points from the prior year and up 0.1 points from last quarter.	
Non-GAAP product gross margin was up sequentially, primarily driven by higher revenue.
The year-over-year decrease in Non-GAAP product gross margin was primarily due to lower revenue and to a lesser extent, China tariffs, partially offset by growth in software.
 
 	•	 	GAAP service gross margin : 61.0%, up 4.9 points from the prior year and flat from last quarter.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP service gross margin : 62.2%, up 4.8 points from the prior year and down 0.2 points from last quarter.	
Year-over-year, the increase in service gross margin, on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, was primarily driven by lower delivery costs.
On a sequential basis non-GAAP service gross margin was essentially flat.
Operating Expenses
 
 	•	 	GAAP operating expenses: $554 million, an increase of $13 million year-over-year, and an increase of $15 million, sequentially.	
The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher restructuring costs. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher share-based compensation.
GAAP operating expenses were 50.3% of revenue, up 5.4 points year-over-year and down 3.6 points quarter-over-quarter.

 	•	 	Non-GAAP operating expenses: $478 million, a decrease of $11 million year-over-year, and a decrease of $4 million sequentially.

Tax Rate
In Q2’19, we adopted a full-year projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. Please see the discussion of  Non-GAAP Financial Measures  for additional information and the press release furnished with our Form 8-K filed today with the SEC.
 
 	•	 	GAAP tax rate: 40.6%, compared to 22.8% in Q2’18 and 30.0% last quarter.	
The year-over-year and sequential increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to structural changes impacting the taxation of the geographic mix of earnings and the write down of deferred tax assets from which the Company is no longer able to benefit.
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP tax rate: 19.5%, compared to 20.2% in Q2’18 and 19.6% last quarter.	
The year-over-year and sequential decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the adoption of a full-year projected non-GAAP tax rate as noted above. The rate reflects structural changes which impacted the taxation of the geographic mix of earnings.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
 
 	•	 	GAAP diluted earnings per share: $0.13, a decrease of $0.20 year-over-year and an increase of $0.04 sequentially.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share: $0.40, a decrease of $0.08 year-over-year and an increase of $0.14 sequentially.	
The year-over-year decrease in GAAP EPS was primarily due to lower revenue and a higher tax rate.
The year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP EPS was primarily due to lower revenue, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Sequentially, the increase in EPS on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis was primarily due to higher revenue.

Cash Flow
 
 	•	 	Cash flow from operations: $89 million, down $82 million year-over-year and down $71 million sequentially.	
The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower cash collections, partially offset by lower tax payments.
The sequential decrease was primarily due to lower cash collections and higher payments to suppliers, partially offset by lower payments related to variable compensation.
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
 
 	•	 	DSO: 54 days, a 4-day decrease from the prior quarter, driven primarily by higher revenue.	
Capital Return
 
 	•	 	In the quarter, we paid a dividend of $0.19 per share for a total of $66 million.	
 
 	•	 	In the quarter, we entered into an ASR program to repurchase an aggregate of $300 million in shares. The ASR is still underway and is expected to settle no later than September 26, 2019.	
Financing Activities

Headcount
 
 	•	 	Ending headcount for Q2’19 was 8,995, a decrease of 346 employees year-over-year and 73 sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was primarily related to restructuring in Q1’19. The sequential decrease was primarily a result of outsourcing IT services to IBM, partially offset by the acquisition of Mist Systems and additional hires in our go-to-market organization.	
Outlook
These metrics are provided on a non-GAAP basis, except for revenue and share count. Non-GAAP earnings per share is on a fully diluted basis. The outlook assumes that the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to other currencies will remain relatively stable at current levels.
Our second-half revenue outlook reiterates the commentary we stated previously, which reflects our expectations of above normal seasonal trends, and a return to growth in the fourth quarter, due to our current pipeline of opportunities as well as the expected positive impact from our go-to-market transformation activities.
We remain confident in the long-term financial model we outlined at our Investor Day in November last year.
Full-year non-GAAP gross margin is expected to continue to be pressured by China tariffs. Despite our ongoing mitigation efforts, the increase in tariffs from 10% to 25% is expected to have a 30-50 basis point impact on full-year non-GAAP gross margin.
We plan to manage our operating expenses prudently; however, we continue to expect non-GAAP operating expenses on a full-year basis, to be flat to slightly up versus 2018, inclusive of the acquisition of Mist Systems.

In the second quarter of 2019, we adopted a full-year projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across reporting periods. For the remainder of 2019, we expect a non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 19.5%.
Due to the increased China tariffs and a higher non-GAAP tax rate, we now expect our full-year non-GAAP earnings per share to be at the low-end of the previously stated range of $1.75 +/- $0.05.
Juniper’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share to be paid on September 25, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 4, 2019.
Our guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2019 is as follows:
 
 	•	 	Revenue will be approximately $1,145 million, plus or minus $30 million.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP gross margin will be approximately 60.0%, plus or minus 1%.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP operating expenses will be approximately $488 million, plus or minus $5 million.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP operating margin will be approximately 17.5% at the midpoint of revenue guidance.	
 
 	•	 	Non-GAAP net income per share will be approximately $0.46, plus or minus $0.03. This assumes a share count of approximately 348 million.	

Forward-Looking Statements

Actual results or events could differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including: general economic and political conditions globally or regionally; business and economic conditions in the networking industry; changes in overall technology spending by our customers, including Cloud providers and Service Providers; the network capacity requirements of our customers and, in particular, Cloud and telecommunication service providers; contractual terms that may result in the deferral of revenue; the timing of orders and their fulfillment; manufacturing and supply chain costs, constraints, changes or disruptions; availability and pricing of key product components; delays in scheduled product availability; adoption of regulations or standards affecting Juniper Networks products, services or the networking industry; product defects, returns or vulnerabilities; significant effects of tax legislation and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations; legal settlements and resolutions; the potential impact of activities related to the execution of capital return, restructurings and product rationalization; the impact of import tariffs, depending on their scope and how they are implemented; and other factors listed in Juniper Networks’ most recent report on Form 10-Q or 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Note that our estimates as to tax rate on our business are based on current tax law, including current interpretations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and could be materially affected by changing interpretations of the Act, as well as additional legislation and guidance around the Act. All statements made in this CFO Commentary and related conference call are made only as of the date set forth at the beginning of this document. Juniper Networks undertakes no obligation to update the information made in this document or the related conference call in the event facts or circumstances subsequently change after the date of this document.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This CFO Commentary contains references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: gross margin; product gross margin; service gross margin; product gross margin as a percentage of product revenue; service gross margin as a percentage of service revenue; gross margin as a percentage of revenue; research and development expense; sales and marketing expense; general and administrative expense; operating expense; operating expense as a percentage of revenue; operating income; operating margin; provision for income tax; income tax rate; net income; diluted earnings per share; diluted shares outstanding; and free cash flow. For important commentary on why Juniper Networks considers non-GAAP information a useful view of the company’s financial results, please see the press release furnished with our Form 8-K filed today with the SEC. With respect to future financial guidance provided on a non-GAAP basis, we have excluded estimates for amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related charges, restructuring benefits or charges, impairment charges, strategic partnership-related charges, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, supplier component remediation charges and recoveries, gain or loss on equity investments, retroactive impact of certain tax settlements, significant effects of tax legislation and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations, including the impact of income tax reform, non-recurring income tax adjustments, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP

exclusions, and do not include the impact of further tariffs and the impact of any future acquisitions, divestitures, or joint ventures that may occur in the applicable period. These measures are not presented in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this CFO Commentary should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future.
In the second quarter of 2019, we adopted a full-year projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the annual reporting periods. In projecting our full-year non-GAAP tax rate, we utilize a full-year financial projection that excludes the impact of stock options and the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. The projected rate considers other factors such as changes to our current operating structure, existing tax positions in various jurisdictions, the effect of key tax legislation, significant tax matters, and the other non-GAAP financial measures noted above, to the extent they are applicable to the full-year financial projection. For fiscal year 2019, our projected non-GAAP tax rate is 19.5% after including the impact of our acquisition of Mist Systems, Inc, which did not have a significant impact to our tax rate. Our projected tax rate on non-GAAP income may be adjusted during the year to account for events or trends that we believe materially impact the projected annual rate including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in the geographic mix of earnings and other significant events.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges which are excluded from these non-GAAP measures. For example, share-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company’s future hiring needs, and restructuring actions, the type and volume of equity awards necessary for such future hiring, and the price at which the Company’s stock will trade in those future periods. Amortization of intangible assets is significantly impacted by the timing and size of any future acquisitions. The items that are being excluded are difficult to predict and a reconciliation could result in disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading. Material changes to any one of these items could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results. Certain exclusions, such as amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses, are generally incurred each quarter, but the amounts have historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
