Business Wire
SAN FRANCISCO -- February 7, 2013
Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD), the performance company, today
reported record revenue for its fourth quarter (Q4'12) and fiscal year ended
December 31, 2012 (FY’12).
Total GAAP revenue for Q4’12 was $237 million, up 9% compared to the third
quarter of fiscal year 2012 (Q3’12) and 17% compared to the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2011 (Q4’11). For the full year 2012, GAAP revenue was $837
million, up 15% compared to 2011. Non-GAAP revenue for Q4'12 was $239 million,
an increase of 9% compared to Q3'12 and an increase of 17% compared to Q4'11.
Non-GAAP revenue for 2012 was $840 million, an increase of 15% compared to
2011.
GAAP net income for Q4’12 was $5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. This
compares to $25 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in Q3’12 and $20 million,
or $0.12 per diluted share, in Q4’11. GAAP net income for 2012 was $55
million, or $0.33 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for Q4'12 was $46
million, or $0.29 per diluted share. This compares to $46 million, or $0.28
per diluted share, in Q3'12 and $41 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in
Q4'11. Non-GAAP net income for 2012 was $163 million, or $0.99 per diluted
share.
The acquisition of OPNET Technologies, Inc., closed December 18, 2012,
contributed $6 million to GAAP revenue and $7 million to non-GAAP revenue in
the fourth quarter. Excluding any revenue or costs associated with OPNET,
non-GAAP net income was $0.29 per diluted share in the fourth quarter.
“In 2012, we expanded our addressable market through organic innovation, new
partnerships and strategic acquisitions,” said Jerry M. Kennelly, Chairman and
CEO. “Revenue dollars grew more than $111 million for the full year, with most
of that growth from WAN optimization. Performance management was the fastest
growing product line, underpinning our strategic decision to acquire OPNET.
Looking ahead, we will benefit from continued growth in our WAN optimization
business and performance management product suite. I am very optimistic as we
enter our first year as a billion-dollar-plus revenue company.”
“Our integration of OPNET is proceeding as planned and we intend to introduce
the first phase of an integrated application and network performance
management product line in the second half of this year,” said Eric Wolford,
president of products and marketing. “OPNET complements a broad lineup of new
products introduced throughout 2012 and uniquely positions us for the future
of performance management.”
“We saw revenue expansion in all major regions, with solid growth in
enterprise sales,” said Randy S. Gottfried, COO and CFO. “The company
continued to execute well and generated more than $217 million of free cash
flow in 2012.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying
tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP
revenue, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted
share, which we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial
performance and future results. 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, "GAAP to Non-GAAP
Reconciliations." Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to 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. Our non-GAAP financial measures
include adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related
income tax effects, adjustments related to our tax valuation allowance and the
interim tax cost of the one-time transfer of intellectual property rights
between Riverbed legal entities:
Support and services deferred revenue: Business combination accounting rules
require us to account for the fair value of support and service contracts
assumed in connection with our acquisitions. The book value of the acquisition
deferred support and services revenue related to OPNET was reduced by $19
million in the adjustment to fair value. Because these are typically one to
five year contracts, our GAAP revenues for the periods subsequent to the
acquisition of a business do not reflect the full amount of service revenues
on assumed support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the
acquired entity. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full
amount of such revenues. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as
a measure of the ongoing performance of our business because we have
historically experienced high renewal rates on support contracts, although we
cannot be certain that customers will renew these contracts.
Inventory and cost of product revenue: Business combination accounting rules
require us to account for the fair value of inventory acquired in connection
with our acquisitions. The fair value of inventory is estimated as the selling
price minus the estimated cost to sell. In the period subsequent to the
acquisition, the cost of product revenue includes the higher fair value of the
acquired inventory.
Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based
compensation and related payroll tax expenses from our non-GAAP operating
expenses and net income measures. 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 net income. 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 and other expenses: We incur significant expenses in
connection with our acquisitions and also incur certain other operating
expenses, which we would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented
as a part of our continuing operations. Acquisition related and other expenses
consist of transaction costs, costs for transitional employees, other acquired
employee related retention costs, integration related professional services,
adjustments to the fair value of the acquisition related contingent
consideration, the write-down of certain acquired in-progress research and
development intangibles, and foreign exchange losses on the acquisition
related contingent consideration. We believe it is useful for investors to
understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses.

(1) Stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with the fair
value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock
Compensation effective January 1, 2006.
(2) Payroll tax on stock-based compensation represents the incremental cost
for employer payroll taxes on stock option exercises and restricted stock
units vested and released.
(3) The intangible assets recorded at fair value as a result of our
acquisition are amortized over the estimated useful life of the respective
asset.
(4) The inventory fair value adjustment recorded pursuant to our acquisition
is excluded from our non-GAAP operating expenses as this cost would not have
otherwise occurred in the period presented.
(5) We incurred expenses in connection with our acquisitions, which would not
have otherwise occurred in the period presented as part of our operating
expenses; therefore, these costs or credits are excluded from our non-GAAP
operating expenses.
(6) Business combination accounting rules require us to account for the fair
value of deferred revenue assumed in connection with an acquisition. The
non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of support and
service revenue that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired
entity.
(7) The non-GAAP tax rate excludes the income tax effects of non-GAAP
adjustments. Additionally, the non-GAAP tax rate includes adjustments to our
