for Second Quarter of 2023

Sequential Revenue Improvement Due to Durable Business Model;

Company Generates $0.15 of GAAP EPS in Q2, $0.19 of Non-GAAP EPS

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 26, 2023 -- A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a leading provider of cybersecurity and infrastructure solutions, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Summary

•Revenue of $65.8 million, up 14.1% sequentially from Q1 and in-line with expectations.

•GAAP gross margin of 79.5%; non-GAAP gross margin of 80.2% as a result of continued successful navigation of short-term input cost pressures.

•GAAP net income of $11.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $10.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022.

•Non-GAAP net income of $14.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share (non-GAAP EPS), compared with non-GAAP net income of $13.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $17.4 million, representing 26.4% of revenue, in line with stated business model goals and unchanged as a percent of revenue compared to the second quarter last year.

•Company repurchased 437,000 shares at an average price of $14.27 for a total of $6.2 million.

•The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, payable on September 1, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2023.

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the financial statements below.

“The second quarter results demonstrated sequential improvements consistent with our expectations and our continued focus on our business model,” said Dhrupad Trivedi, President and Chief Executive Officer of A10 Networks. “Spending from large enterprises and tier-one service providers in North America remains volatile, but we are seeing encouraging signs, particularly for security solutions, that support our confidence for continuing improvements in the second half of the year.”

“A10 remains solidly profitable, with earnings per share exceeding last year’s levels even on slightly lower revenue, demonstrating our systemic profitability and the focus on our business model,” continued Trivedi. “For the first six months of 2023, our Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 248 basis points to a record 26.6%, compared to 24.1% last year. We continue to balance profitability and growth as we navigate headwinds.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” including statements regarding our anticipated future financial results, confidence for continuing improvements in the second half of the year, quarterly dividend payments, strategy, demand and positioning. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ include a significant decline in global macroeconomic or political conditions that have an adverse impact on our business and financial results; business interruptions related to our supply chain; our ability to manage our business and expenses if customers cancel or delay orders; execution risks

related to closing key deals and improving our execution; the continued market adoption of our products; our ability to successfully anticipate market needs and opportunities; our timely development of new products and features; our ability to achieve or maintain profitability; any loss or delay of expected purchases by our largest end-customers; our ability to maintain or improve our competitive position; competitive and execution risks related to cloud-based computing trends; our ability to attract and retain new end-customers and our largest end-consumers; our ability to maintain and enhance our brand and reputation; changes demanded by our customers in the deployment and payment model for our products; continued growth in markets relating to network security; the success of any future acquisitions or investments in complementary companies, products, services or technologies; the ability of our sales team to execute well; our ability to shorten our close cycles; the ability of our channel partners to sell our products; variations in product mix or geographic locations of our sales; risks associated with our presence in international markets; weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting; our ability to timely file periodic reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; the impact of any cybersecurity incidents and other risks that are described in “Risk Factors” in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2023. We do not intend to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share (or non-GAAP EPS), non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

A10 Networks considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the company, exclusive of unusual events or factors that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance and are used by the company's management for that purpose.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We define non-GAAP net income as our GAAP net income excluding: (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense, (iii) restructuring expense and (iv) income tax effect of excluding non-GAAP items (i) to (iii) listed above. We define non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share as our non-GAAP net income divided by our basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We define non-GAAP gross profit as our GAAP gross profit excluding (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense and (iii) restructuring expense. We define non-GAAP gross margin as our non-GAAP gross profit divided by our GAAP revenue. We define non-GAAP operating income as our GAAP income from operations excluding (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense and (iii) restructuring expense. We define non-GAAP operating margin as our non-GAAP operating income divided by our GAAP revenue. We define non-GAAP operating expenses as our GAAP operating expenses excluding (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense and (iii) restructuring expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our GAAP net income excluding (i) interest and other (income) expense, net, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (v) cyber incident remediation expense and (vi) restructuring expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as our Adjusted EBITDA divided by our GAAP revenue.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company's operating results.

(1)For 2023, we adopted presenting non-GAAP net income impacted for the income tax effect of excluding non-GAAP items. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the income tax effect represents a non-GAAP profit before tax rate of 18.0%. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the income tax effect of excluding non-GAAP items would be $1,409 thousand and non-GAAP net income adjusted for the income tax effect of excluding non-GAAP items would be $11,951 thousand, representing a $0.02 decrease in reported non-GAAP net income per share in the table above. The tax effect of $1,409 thousand represents a non-GAAP profit before tax rate of 27.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the income tax effect of excluding non-GAAP items would be $3,045 thousand and non-GAAP net income adjusted for the income tax effect of excluding non-GAAP items would be $20,345 thousand, representing a $0.04 decrease in reported non-GAAP net income per share in the table above. The tax effect of $3,045 thousand represents a non-GAAP profit before tax rate of 26.7%.

(2)Net income and earnings per share excluding adjustments are non-GAAP financial measures presented as supplemental financial measures to enable a user of the financial information to understand the impact of these adjustments on reported results. These financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our adjusted net income and earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because companies may not all calculate adjusted net income and earnings per share in the same manner.

Q2 2023 Financial Results & Commentary July 26, 2023

Cautionary Statements & Disclosures This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation contain “forward-looking” statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, including statements regarding our future financial performance, strategy, routes to market, technical differentiation, positioning, capital allocation strategy, expansion opportunities, growth, profitability, market growth, as well as market and technology trends. for continuing improvements in the second half of the year, quarterly dividend payments, strategy, demand and positioning. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ include a significant decline in global macroeconomic or political conditions that have an adverse impact on our business and financial results; business interruptions related to our supply chain; our ability to manage our business and expenses if customers cancel or delay orders; execution risks related to closing key deals and improving our execution; the continued market adoption of our products; our ability to successfully anticipate market needs and opportunities; our timely development of new products and features; our ability to achieve or maintain profitability; any loss or delay of expected purchases by our largest end-customers; our ability to maintain or improve our competitive position; competitive and execution risks related to cloud-based computing trends; our ability to attract and retain new end-customers and our largest end-consumers; our ability to maintain and enhance our brand and reputation; changes demanded by our customers in the deployment and payment model for our products; continued growth in markets relating to network security; the success of any future acquisitions or investments in complementary companies, products, services or technologies; the ability of our sales team to execute well; our ability to shorten our close cycles; the ability of our channel partners to sell our products; variations in product mix or geographic locations of our sales; risks associated with our presence in international markets; weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting; our ability to timely file periodic reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; the impact of any cybersecurity incidents, and other risks that are described in “Risk Factors” in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2023. We do not intend to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation also include certain non-GAAP financial measures including Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titles measures presented by other companies. A10 Networks considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the company, exclusive of unusual events or factors that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance, and are used by the company’s management for that purpose. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define non-GAAP net income as our GAAP net income excluding: (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense, (iii) restructuring expense and (iv) income tax effect of excluding non-GAAP items (i) to (iii) listed above. We define non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share as our non-GAAP net income divided by our basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We define non-GAAP gross profit as our GAAP gross profit excluding (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense and (iii) restructuring expense. We define non-GAAP gross margin as our non-GAAP gross profit divided by our GAAP revenue. We define non-GAAP operating income as our GAAP income from operations excluding (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense and (iii) restructuring expense. We define non-GAAP operating margin as our non-GAAP operating income divided by our GAAP revenue. We define non-GAAP operating expenses as our GAAP operating expenses excluding (i) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (ii) cyber incident remediation expense and (iii) restructuring expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our GAAP net income excluding (i) interest and other (income) expense, net, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) stock-based compensation and related payroll tax, (v) cyber incident remediation expense and (vi) restructuring expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as our Adjusted EBITDA divided by our GAAP revenue. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the appendix to this document and in the accompany financial results press release.
