Product revenue growth of 13% and security-led
solutions continue to drive growth; Company re-affirms full-year
outlook, raises dividend and announces new $50 million buyback
A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a leading provider of cybersecurity
and infrastructure solutions, today announced financial results for
its third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30,
2022.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial
Summary
- Revenue of $72.1 million, up 10.2% year-over-year.
- Revenue growth was broad-based, with increases in North
America, APJ, EMEA and Latin America, and from both Enterprise and
Service Provider customers. Enterprise sales grew 17%, and Service
Provider sales grew 6%, demonstrating strong revenue
diversification.
- GAAP gross margin of 79.5%; non-GAAP gross margin of 80.2% as a
result of better product mix and continued successful navigation of
short-term input cost pressures.
- GAAP net income of $12.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share,
compared with GAAP net income (inclusive of a non-recurring $65.4
million income tax benefit related to sustained profitability) of
$74.9 million, or $0.94 per diluted share in the third quarter of
2021.
- Non-GAAP net income of $15.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted
share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $13.7 million, or $0.17
per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $21.3 million, representing 29.5% of
revenue, in line with stated business model goals.
- A10 repurchased approximately 3.7 million shares during the
quarter at an average price of $12.77 for a total of $47.5 million
and issued $3.8 million in cash dividends.
- The Board of Directors approved a 20% increase in its quarterly
cash dividend to $0.06 per share, payable on December 1, 2022 to
stockholders of record at the close of business on November 15,
2022.
A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is
contained in the financial statements below.
“A10 is consistently achieving revenue and EPS targets despite a
variety of macro headwinds in all regions,” said Dhrupad Trivedi,
President and Chief Executive Officer of A10 Networks. “This
demonstrates robust demand for our proprietary security-led
solutions, disciplined execution, and a focus on diversification
that drives sustainability. We have positioned our business to
avoid concentration in any single geography, any specific customer
type, or any isolated product offering, and this diversification
enables consistent execution despite economic, supply chain, and
geopolitical challenges. Customer-centric technical innovation,
global commercial execution and focus on driving the business model
are bolstering our sustainability and driving continued
success.”
“From a profitability standpoint, we maintained gross margins of
approximately 80%, and we delivered record non-GAAP operating
income and EBITDA margin, reflecting strong execution and an
ability to navigate supply chain challenges and input cost
pressures,” added Mr. Trivedi. “This performance enabled us to
repurchase more than $47.5 million of our stock, in both negotiated
and open-market transactions, materially reducing our
capitalization. Additionally, ongoing strength in our business
positioned us to increase the quarterly dividend by 20% and
authorize a new $50 million stock repurchase plan. Simultaneously,
we are strategically investing in technology, furthering our
ability to capture market share and reinforcing our differentiators
and driving durability for our business model despite macroeconomic
conditions. We again reiterate our full year targets of top line
growth of 10 – 12% and Adjusted EBITDA margins in the range of 26 –
28% of revenue.”

whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and Exhibit
99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on the date of this release contain certain
non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income,
non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross
profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating
margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP
financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are
therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures
presented by other companies.
A10 Networks considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be
important because they provide useful measures of the operating
performance of the company, exclusive of unusual events or factors
that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core
operating performance and are used by the company's management for
that purpose.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We define non-GAAP net income as our GAAP net income excluding:
(i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii)
amortization expense related to acquisition, (iii) global
distribution center transition expense and (iv) release of deferred
tax asset valuation allowance. We define non-GAAP net income per
basic and diluted share as our non-GAAP net income divided by our
basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We define
non-GAAP gross profit as our GAAP gross profit excluding (i)
stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, and (ii) global
distribution center transition expense. We define non-GAAP gross
margin as our non-GAAP gross profit divided by our GAAP revenue. We
define non-GAAP operating income as our GAAP income from operations
excluding (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax,
(ii) amortization expense related to acquisition and (iii) global
distribution center transition expense. We define non-GAAP
operating margin as our non-GAAP operating income divided by our
GAAP revenue. We define non-GAAP operating expenses as our GAAP
operating expenses excluding (i) stock-based compensation and
related payroll tax, (ii) amortization expense related to
acquisition and (iii) global distribution center transition
expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our GAAP net income excluding
(i) interest expense (if any), (ii) interest income and other
(income) expense, net, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense,
(iv) benefit from (provision for) income taxes, (v) stock-based
compensation and related payroll tax and (vi) global distribution
center transition expense.
We have included our non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP gross profit
and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin,
non-GAAP operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA in this press
release. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental
informational purposes only for understanding the company's
operating results.
