Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights

Service Provider Technology revenues increased $33.9 million, or 38%, to $124.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with $90.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Enterprise Technology revenues increased $20.9 million, or 188%, to $32.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with $11.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $49.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $28.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Ubiquiti recorded fourth quarter fiscal 2014 non-GAAP net income of $50.2 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $29.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Ubiquiti's net cash inflow from operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $55.8 million, compared with a net cash inflow of $46.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The key driver for the increase in net cash from operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was due to an improvement in our lead times to customers and a reduction in inventory related to new products launched and sold at scale. Total cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2014, were $347.1 million, compared with $291.7 million as of March 31, 2014, and $227.8 million as of June 30, 2013.

Average days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 32 days in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with 30 days in the prior quarter, and 32 days in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Several new product launches are driving revenue growth and we continue to make the strategic investments that we believe will help us not only expand our addressable market but also preserve our company's vision."

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain recurring costs and non-recurring expenses and gains.

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information regarding non-cash expenses, significant recurring items that we believe are important to understanding our financial, and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company's activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company's operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures used by Ubiquiti Networks

We compute non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of recurring stock-based compensation expense, the gain on the reversal of a charge for an export compliance matter and the tax effect of these adjustments. Items excluded from net income are:

• Recurring charges and gains, including:
  • Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718, Stock Compensation.
• Gain on reversal of charge for an export compliance matter
• Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. After adjusting to exclude the items described above, we apply the principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, to estimate the non-GAAP income tax provision.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income" included in this press release.
