2 Legal Disclosure PLEASE SEE RISK FACTORS ON FORM 10-Q AND FORM 10-K FILED WITH THE SEC This presentation, with prepared remarks, includes forward-looking statements regarding Brocade s financial results, goals, plans, assumptions, strategy and business outlook, revenue, tax rate, cash, stock buybacks, OEM inventory, prospects, as well as U.S. Federal spending and order flow, and IT spending, which are only predictions and involve risks and uncertainties such that actual results may vary significantly. These and other risks are set forth in more detail in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 26, 2013 and our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended August 2, These forward-looking statements reflect beliefs, assumptions, outlook, estimates, and predictions as of today, and Brocade expressly assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements whether as the result of new developments or otherwise. In addition, this presentation includes various third-party estimates regarding market share and other measures, which do not necessarily reflect the views of Brocade. Further, Brocade does not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of any such informa tion or forecast. Certain financial information is presented on a non-gaap basis. Management believes that non-gaap financial measures used in this presentation allow stakeholders to gain a better understanding of Brocade s comparative operating performance both from period to period, and to its competitors operating results. Management also believes these non-gaap financial measures help indicate Brocade s baseline performance before gains, losses or charges that are considered by management to be outside of ongoing operating results. Accordingly, management uses these non-gaap financial measures for planning and forecasting of future periods and in making decisions regarding operations performance and the allocation of resources. The most directly comparable GAAP information and a reconciliation between the non-gaap and GAAP figures are provided in the accompanying press release, which has been furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K and posted on Brocade s website, and is included in the appendix in this presentation.
