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, 2009.

Q3'09 Key Highlights:

--  Record revenue of $4.6 million; increased 70% year-over-year and 42%
    sequentially
--  Sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth
--  Announced Tier 1 service provider follow-on order of $4.5 million
--  Continued focus on Tier 1 service providers contributes to strong
    bookings of $6.3 million
--  Reduced operating expenses 30% year-over-year
    

"During the third quarter we achieved record revenue and strong bookings," said James Brear, president and CEO of Procera. "We also secured a $4.5 million Tier-1 follow-on order for our PacketLogic systems, which validates our technology leadership and establishes Procera's credibility as a viable Tier 1 supplier."

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $4.6 million, an increase of 70% from $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2008. The GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was $1.6 million, or a net loss of $0.02 per diluted share. This compares to a GAAP net loss of $3.8 million, or a net loss of $0.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was $870,000, as compared to non-GAAP net loss of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. For an explanation of Non-GAAP financial measures used in this release, and a reconciliation to comparable GAAP measures, please refer to Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information below.

Forward Looking Statements

Safe Harbor Statement: this press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the expected demand for Procera Networks' products and services and the recently announced follow-on order from a Tier 1 service provider. These 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 Forms 10-Qs filed in 2009 and our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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 these 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 the Company'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 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." 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.
