Management Commentary

"In the third quarter, we continued our positive revenue growth trajectory and our new customer win momentum with the addition of four customers to our roster, while diversifying our customer base and reducing our reliance on any single account," said Jagdeep Singh, president and chief executive officer at Infinera. "Our ability to grow our revenue and expand our customer base in the current environment validates that customers are investing in the optical network again and that Infinera is winning its fair share of this spending.

"We have expanded our total addressable market with the addition of submarine and metro edge products, and believe that our differentiated, PIC-based disruptive technology continues to resonate with customers and prospects alike as the industry's best, most cost-effective solution to solve their business challenges," said Singh.

The company noted the following Q3 highlights:

--  The addition of four new customers this quarter brings the company's
    total customer count to 66. With the addition of incumbent service
    providers Telefonica and Teliasonera, Infinera's Tier-1 carrier customer
    count is now six, of which three -- NTT Communications, Deutsche Telecom
    and Telefonica -- are among the top five players in the world.
    
--  The company achieved greater customer diversification as three
    customers accounted for 10% or more of revenue this quarter and the largest
    customer for the quarter was an existing, but unannounced, cable MSO
    customer. Level 3 was slightly less than 10 percent of revenue.
    
--  International revenue grew for the fourth quarter in a row, reaching
    37 percent of revenue in Q3.
    
--  The company won a new eight-figure opportunity with another major
    internet content provider.
    
--  With the introduction of its recently announced ATN metro edge
    product, the company now addresses all major categories within the $8
    billion dollar DWDM space including submarine, ultra-long haul, long-haul,
    regional, metro core and metro access. To date the company has six wins for
    its new ATN platform, including the recently announced ATN deployment at
    Deltacomm.
    
--  The company significantly strengthened its technology resources with
    the addition of an experienced engineering team in its new Ottawa
    development center. This team has deep expertise in signal processing and
    complex modulation schemes, important building blocks for the next
    generation of optical transport products.
    

Note: For an explanation of our use of Non-GAAP and Adjusted GAAP measures and a full reconciliation of these measures to our GAAP results, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP and Adjusted GAAP Reconciliations." We have not shown comparisons to our third quarter 2008 GAAP results in the body of this press release because those results were significantly affected by the recognition of ratable product and related support and services revenue from shipments made prior to the third quarter of 2008, which we believe makes those comparisons less useful for investors. See our GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations attached to this release for these GAAP to GAAP comparisons.

(1) In the third quarter of 2009, we recorded restructuring and other
    related costs of $3.3 million pursuant to our plan announced on
    July 21, 2009, involving the closure of our Maryland based
    semi-conductor fabrication plant ("FAB") and the consolidation of
    these activities into our primary FAB location in Sunnyvale,
    California.

Use of Non-GAAP and Adjusted GAAP Information:

As described below, Infinera uses various non-GAAP and adjusted GAAP
financial measures to supplement our condensed consolidated financial
statements presented on a GAAP basis. 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.

Our usage of these non-GAAP and adjusted GAAP measures are further
explained below:

    --  Effective April 2008, we had established VSOE of fair value for
        most of our service offerings. From the second quarter of 2008 to
        the fourth quarter of 2008, we have used adjusted GAAP measures of
        operating results, net income and net income per share. Adjusted
        GAAP results reflected 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 were not adjusted and were recognized
        on a GAAP basis in arriving at the adjusted GAAP results. We
        presented these non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income
        and net income per share, which included adjusted GAAP results and
        excluded non-GAAP stock-based compensation expense for these
        periods.

    --  In the first quarter of 2009, we began using more traditional
        non-GAAP financial measures, which reflect our GAAP results and
        exclude non-recurring restructuring and other related costs and
        stock-based compensation related expenses. All material deferred
        revenue and deferred cost of inventory balances recorded prior
        to the second quarter of 2008 and previously reported in our
        invoiced shipment results have been recognized in our GAAP results
        prior to December 27, 2008. Therefore, no further adjustments,
        other than the exclusion of non-recurring restructuring and other
        related costs and stock-based compensation expense will be made
        to our GAAP results on a go-forward basis.


(a) Adjustment amount represents restructuring and other related costs
    recorded in the third quarter of 2009 related to the closure of our
    Maryland FAB announced on July 21, 2009. These amounts have been
    adjusted in arriving at our non-GAAP results as they are non-recurring
    in nature and the adjusted numbers provide a better indication of our
    underlying business performance.

    * Stock-based compensation expense deferred to inventory and deferred
      inventory costs in prior periods and recognized in the current
      period.


(c) Adjustment amount represents the release of ratable and product
    deferred revenue amounts related to periods prior to March 29, 2008 as
    these amounts have been previously reported as invoiced shipments. No
    adjustment has been made for changes in deferred services revenue as
    these amounts relate to future service deliverables and are
    appropriately deferred. Deferred ratable and product amounts recorded
    after March 29, 2008 have not been adjusted as these amounts are
    recognized on a GAAP basis in arriving at the adjusted GAAP results.

    The deferred revenue adjustments recorded above are reconciled to the
    deferred revenue balance on our balance sheet in the table below:

(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 the Equity Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. 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:
