Management Commentary

"Our third quarter results came in ahead of guidance we provided in July, showing solid revenue performance and good cash generation," said Jagdeep Singh, president and chief executive officer. "Both existing and new customers continue to turn to Infinera's PIC-based solution to build out their networks as they address their bandwidth growth needs. We added five new customers in the quarter -- including our fifth of the top five major cable MSOs in North America and two additional European customers. We saw strong reception from the installed base and new customers to the new Infinera Line System 2 (ILS2), which began shipping in August. We are pleased with the resumption in new customer-win momentum and we believe that this will continue into Q4 with the addition of at least another four new customers."

"During the quarter, we also completed the migration of the Deutsche Telekom (DT) Western European network to Infinera equipment in a five-week timeline, highlighting the speed of service advantage that our architecture provides," said Singh. "DT is now running live traffic on the new network. This represents a significant achievement for the Infinera and DT teams and it is serving as a strong reference account for our new business efforts."

During the quarter, the Company also achieved these two key milestones:

--  Infinera's photonic integrated circuits (PICs) surpassed a cumulative
    total of 100 million hours of operation in live networks worldwide without
    any PIC failures, evidence of the high reliability of the company's
    photonic integration technology.
    
--  More than 10,000 Infinera DLM line cards shipped since the company
    began commercial shipments in late 2004. This equates to a total DWDM
    network capacity of 1Petabit per second.

Use of Non-GAAP Invoiced Shipments / Adjusted GAAP Information:

Prior to the second quarter of 2008, in order to supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Infinera used invoiced shipment measures of operating results and net income. Invoiced shipment measures reflected GAAP results adjusted for changes in our deferred revenue and deferred cost of inventory balances from the prior period. We further presented non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income and net income per share, which included invoiced shipments and excluded non-GAAP stock-based compensation expense. These adjustments to our GAAP results were made to provide both management and investors with an understanding of Infinera's underlying operating results and trends as they would have been reflected had we established vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value for our service offerings and not been required to recognize revenue ratably.

Effective April 2008, we had established VSOE of fair value for most of our service offerings. Therefore, beginning in the second quarter of 2008, we have used adjusted GAAP measures of operating results and net income. Adjusted GAAP results reflect our GAAP results reduced for amounts released from deferred revenue and deferred cost of inventory balances recorded prior to the second quarter of 2008 and previously reported in our invoiced shipment results. Deferred services and deferred ratable and product revenue and cost amounts recorded after March 29, 2008 have not been adjusted and are recognized on a GAAP basis in arriving at the adjusted GAAP results. We have continued to present non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income and net income per share, which include adjusted GAAP results and exclude non-GAAP stock-based compensation expense.

We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying financial performance and also our prospects for the future and are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or basic and diluted net income per share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations.

(e) Excluded amount represents stock-based compensation expense on a
    non-GAAP basis. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense
    accounted for in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions
    of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). While this
    is a large component of our expense, we believe investors want to
    evaluate our financial results  both including and excluding the
    effects of stock-based compensation expense in order to compare our
    financial performance with that of other companies and between time
    periods.

    The stock-based compensation expense excluded from cost of revenue is a
    non-GAAP financial measure and is reconciled to the corresponding GAAP
    amount in the table below:
