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 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009.
Q4'09 Key Highlights:
-- Record revenue of $9.4 million; increased 108% year-over-year and 104%
sequentially
-- Seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth
-- Achieved profitability for the first time in Company's history
-- Closed two new major carrier contracts
FY'09 Key Highlights:
-- Grew full year revenue by 75% year over year to $20.1 million
-- Announced one of the largest DPI installations industry wide with a Tier
1 service provider for $10 million
-- Added over 160 new customers, including 6 new Tier 1 service providers
-- Selected by over 100 universities in 2009
"Fiscal year 2009 was a transformational year for Procera
Networks as we established ourselves as a credible Tier 1
supplier," said James Brear, president and CEO of Procera. "Our
record revenue for the year was driven by the increasing demand for
our PacketLogic systems, while our disciplined approach to expense
management allowed us to achieve profitability for the first time
in Company history. As we enter 2010, we believe the momentum we
are experiencing with Tier 1 service providers will lead to another
year of revenue growth."
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $9.4 million,
an increase of 108% from $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of
2008. For the fiscal year 2009, total revenue was $20.1 million, an
increase of 75% from $11.5 million in fiscal year 2008.
The GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $877,000,
or a net income of $0.01 per diluted share. This compares to a GAAP
net loss of $2.7 million, or a net loss of $0.03 per diluted share,
in the fourth quarter of 2008. The GAAP net loss for fiscal year
2009 was $7.4 million, or a net loss of $0.08 per diluted share.
This compares to a GAAP net loss of $13.9 million, or a net loss of
$0.18 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2008.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1.1
million, as compared to non-GAAP net loss of $1.6 million in the
fourth quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net loss for fiscal year 2009 was
$2.8 million, as compared to non-GAAP net loss of $9.5 million in

used in this release, and a reconciliation to comparable GAAP
measures, please refer to Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Forward Looking Statements
Safe Harbor Statement: this press release contains
forward-looking statements, including statements relating to
Procera Networks' potential for revenue growth and sales to Tier 1
service providers. 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.
