Aerohive Networks Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Sunnyvale, Calif. — November 5, 2014 — Aerohive Networks® (NYSE:HIVE), a leader in controller-less Wi-Fi and cloud-managed mobile networking for the enterprise market, today announced financial results for its third quarter of 2014 ended September 30, 2014.

Financial Summary

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $35.3 million, an increase of 22%, compared with $29.0 million for the third quarter of 2013. Software subscriptions and service revenue was $4.6 million, or 13% of total revenue for the quarter, compared with $2.6 million, or 9% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2013.

For the third quarter of 2014, GAAP net loss was $7.4 million, compared with $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. GAAP gross margin was 67.6%, compared with 66.3% in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $4.5 million, compared with $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP gross margin was 68.0%, compared with 66.5% in the year-ago period. A description of the non-GAAP calculations and a reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying table entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“We are disappointed with our revenue for the third quarter, which was below our original expectation due to sales capacity and performance, particularly in our less-developed territories,” stated David Flynn, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We realize we need to improve our execution, and we are actively working to more consistently grow capacity with increased investments in hiring additional sales people, ramping our recently hired sales people, and developing our channel. We remain confident in our competitive differentiation and the potential to address a large and growing market opportunity.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Aerohive’s reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including:

non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin
non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP operating expense percentage
non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP operating loss percentage
non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share
The Company defines non-GAAP financial measures to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles and the periodic fair value re-measurements related to convertible preferred stock warrants.

The Company has included non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because they are key measures used to evaluate the business, measure performance, identify trends affecting the business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. In particular, the exclusion of certain non-cash expenses in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business.

Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors in their evaluations of companies, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

the non-GAAP measures do not consider the dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, which is an ongoing expense for the Company;
although amortization is a non-cash charge, the assets being amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP gross profit percentage, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating loss percentage, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP loss per share do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements;
non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share do not reflect the periodic fair value re-measurements related to convertible preferred stock warrants; and
other companies, including companies in this industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP financial measures only together with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and other GAAP results.
