"We delivered revenue within our guidance range with continued strong gross margin, and achieved lower than planned operating expenses, generating EPS ahead of our guidance range," said Paul Hooper, Chief Executive Officer of Gigamon. "We also saw a number of positive trends in the quarter, supporting our confidence in a return to growth in the second half of 2017. We had 16 customers with bookings over one-million-dollars in the quarter, our second highest total ever. Further, our flagship GigaVUE-HC2 product revenue rebounded strongly, Asia Pacific posted a record quarter, and we saw record attach rates for our GigaSMART® software modules and our recently released inline SSL solution and our new high-performance and high-density chassis, the GigaVUE-HC3, performed well in the quarter while also building significant pipeline for the second half. We continue to believe our rapid pace of innovation, leadership in the visibility market and seed-and-grow strategy will deliver long-term value to our shareholders."

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 accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, income tax effects of stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring items such as advisory services and other costs related to non-routine stockholder matters, and periodic tax items. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Gigamon considers these non-GAAP financial measures 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 core to our operating performance, and are used by the company's management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use similar measures to evaluate the operating performance of a company. We present non-GAAP financial measures for supplemental informational purposes only to provide additional information in understanding the company's operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this release.

During the conference call to discuss these financial results, Gigamon expects to give guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 on a non-GAAP basis. Gigamon does not provide reconciliations of its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections with respect to stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, and income tax effect of stock-based compensation expense, which are excluded from these non-GAAP measures. In particular, stock-based compensation and related taxes are impacted by future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of Gigamon's common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change. The actual amounts of these excluded items will have a significant impact on Gigamon's GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and GAAP tax provision. Accordingly, reconciliations of Gigamon's forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
