Management Commentary

"Our first quarter performance demonstrated solid execution in a traditionally slow quarter for the industry," said Tom Fallon, president and chief executive officer. "The DTN-X platform continued to gain traction in the market. During the quarter, we received purchase commitments from six additional customers, including two new to Infinera, for a total of 27 DTN-X customer commitments to date. Customer deployments were strong and we shipped a record number of 100G ports.

"The economic value proposition offered by Infinera's photonic integration and long-haul 500G super-channels has generated significant interest among potential customers. As a result, our new business pipeline is extremely active and we are pursuing global opportunities in a wide variety of markets.

"We are increasingly confident in our outlook for Infinera. We exited the first quarter with an increased backlog and a robust pipeline of potential new business, positioning us well for 2013."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP measures that exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and non-recurring restructuring and other related costs. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying financial performance and also our prospects for the future and are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, or gross margin prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations. For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled, "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations." We anticipate disclosing forward-looking non-GAAP information in our conference call to discuss our first quarter results, including an estimate of non-GAAP earnings for the second quarter of 2013 that excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.
