“SAN JOSE, CA–(Marketwire – Feb 14, 2013) – Brocade® ( NASDAQ : BRCD ) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended January 26, 2013. Brocade reported record first quarter revenue of $588.7 million, representing an increase of 5% year-over-year and 2% quarter-over-quarter. The company reported a GAAP loss per share of $(0.05), down from a profit of $0.12 per diluted share in Q1 2012. The Q1 2013 net loss was principally due to a non-cash tax charge, which reduced the company’s deferred tax assets as a result of a recent change in the California tax code. On a comparative basis, non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.21, up from $0.20 in Q1 2012.
“Brocade achieved record revenue in Q1 based on strong performances in both our storage and IP networking businesses,” said Lloyd Carney, CEO of Brocade. “As the new CEO, it is my top priority to ensure that the company continues to execute well in our core businesses to drive growth and shareholder value. Looking forward, I see new opportunities emerging in the networking industry due to disruptive IT market trends that are challenging the capabilities of today’s networks. It is clear that customers are looking for new technologies and approaches in networking to meet these challenges. I am excited and honored to navigate the company forward, delivering on these customer requirements in a way that drives top-line revenue through both innovation and operational efficiency.”…”
