Restructuring Initiative

Infinera also announced it is implementing a plan to restructure its worldwide operations in order to reduce its expenses and establish a more cost-efficient structure that better aligns its operations with its long-term strategies. As part of this restructuring plan, Infinera will reduce headcount, rationalize certain products and programs, and close a remote R&D facility.

Infinera anticipates annual savings from the restructuring to be approximately $40.0 million, compared to what the projected run-rate of expenses for fiscal 2018 would have been prior to the restructuring. Infinera estimates total costs related to the restructuring will be in the range of $21.0 million to $27.0 million. The company anticipates a majority of the restructuring will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2017.

“In recent years we have made significant investments to become a multi-market company, deliver a fully refreshed product portfolio and establish a faster technology cadence. Reflecting on the internal expansion associated with these investments, we have identified areas where we can be more efficient going forward,” stated Mr. Fallon. “While difficult, my expectation is taking action at this time will result in a more cost-efficient structure that enables us to focus on our strengths and return to profitability as we grow. I believe these are the right steps for our shareholders, our company and our customers.”
