Procera Networks, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PKT), a developer of Evolved
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) solutions providing traffic awareness,
control and protection for complex networks, today reported
financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Q310 Highlights
-- Third quarter revenue of $4.75 million, up 3 percent year-over-year
-- Tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth
-- Received an initial order from new North American Tier-1 service
provider and won two new Tier-2 service providers
-- Over $15 million of GENBAND revenue funnel generated in less than
60 days
-- Support revenue of $1.2 million, up 56 percent year-over-year
-- Increased software development headcount to support increased
trial levels
-- Gross margins improved to 57.3 percent from 32.5 percent in the
third quarter of 2009
-- Signed 32 new higher education customers during the third quarter
of 2010
"During the third quarter we further positioned Procera for
growth with the significant increase in Tier-1 trial opportunities
to 23 from 14 last quarter, demonstrating the potential of the
recent OEM partnership with GENBAND. We have scaled up our R&D
department to support the increase in Tier-1 trial activities,"
said James Brear, president and CEO of Procera Networks, Inc. "Our
new service provider and university wins, and continued product
innovation, underscore our commitment to prevailing in customer
trials.
"Customers have responded favorably to the cost and performance
of our recently launched PacketLogic PL8720 solution, which
delivers a more economical 10GB port DPI solution and sales of the
product have exceeded our expectations. Sales from this DPI
appliance represented over 60 percent of our total product revenue
for the third quarter, benefiting margins.
"We believe the progress we have made so far in 2010 is setting
the stage for Procera to deliver significant growth in 2011 as we
achieve trial wins and receive follow-on orders from our 13 new
service provider customers in 2010, and benefit from our OEM
partnership with GENBAND and their over 200 salespeople."

including statements relating to expectations for revenue growth in
2011, our ability to support customer trials, the potential for new
Tier 1 customers to become significant customers, potential
benefits from the OEM agreement with GENBAND, obtaining follow-on
orders from new and existing customers, the prospects for the

forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well
as assumptions that, if they do not fully materialize or prove
incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including
risks related to our ability to raise capital; the acceptance and
adoption of our products; our ability to service and upgrade our
products; lengthy sales cycles and lab and field trial delays by
service providers; our dependence on a limited product line; our
dependence on key employees; our ability to compete in our industry
with companies that are significantly larger and have greater
resources; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights
in a global market; our ability to manufacture product quickly
enough to meet potential demand; and other risks and uncertainties
described more fully in our documents filed with or furnished to
the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about
these and other risks that may impact Procera Networks' business
are set forth in our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December
31, 2009 and subsequent quarterly report on Form 10-Q. All
forward-looking statements in this press release are based on
information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Procera's management believes that certain non-GAAP financial
measures, when taken together with the corresponding consolidated
GAAP measures and related segment information, provide incremental
insight into the underlying factors and trends affecting both
Procera's performance and its cash generating potential. Management
believes these non-GAAP measures increase the transparency of the
company's current results and enable investors to more fully
understand trends in its current and future performance.
Thus, in addition to the 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 that we believe are helpful in understanding our financial
performance. 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." Management regularly uses these
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 benefits, if any:
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 that requires cash. Investors
should note that our intangible assets were essential for
generating revenues during the periods presented and will
contribute to future period revenues as well.
Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect
of stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP gross profit,
operating expenses and net income measures. Although stock-based
compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees and
consultants, we continue to evaluate our business performance
excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based
compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
Non-cash interest expense: We have excluded the effect of a
non-cash charge to interest expense for the amortization of debt
discounts related to convertible promissory notes that were issued
and converted within the second quarter of 2009.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not consistent with GAAP
because they do not fully reflect non-cash expenses. The
above-mentioned non-GAAP measures are generated by adjusting the
related GAAP measures solely to reverse the effect of the above
mentioned non-cash expenses. The Company uses these financial
measures to provide additional insight into current operating and
business trends not readily apparent from the GAAP results.
Management believes users of Procera's financial statements will
benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP
financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results,
as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However,
management recognizes that:
-- these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and
should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's GAAP
financial measures;
-- these non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP;
-- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial
measures;
-- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be
superior to the Company's GAAP financial measures;
-- these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with
GAAP and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial
measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a
comprehensive set of rules or principles; and
-- management intends to continue to track and present these non-GAAP
financial measures for future periods.
Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to
Procera, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures
used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP
financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the
Company's results to the results of other companies.
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures appears at
the end of this press release.
