Juniper Networks undertakes no obligation toupdate the information in this release in the event facts or circumstancessubsequently change after the date of this press release. Juniper Networks believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financialinformation provides important supplemental information to management andinvestors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’sfinancial condition and results of operations.

These measures are not presented in accordance with, norare they a substitute for, U.S generally accepted accounting principles, orGAAP. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures usedby other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. Thenon-GAAP financial measures used in the table above should not be considered inisolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance withGAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associatedwith the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool.
Inparticular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect theexclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financialresults for the foreseeable future. We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, inanalyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in makingoperating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, anddetermining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of thenon-GAAP measures presented above to be helpful in assessing the performance ofthe continuing operation of our business. By continuing operations we mean theongoing revenue and expenses of the business excluding certain items that rendercomparisons with prior periods or analysis of on-going operating trends moredifficult, such as expenses not directly related to the actual cash costs ofdevelopment, sale, delivery or support of our products and services, or expensesthat are reflected in periods unrelated to when the actual amounts were incurredor paid. Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing non-GAAPfinancial measures to the readers of our financial statements provides suchreaders with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financialmeasures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency inthe review of our financial and operational performance. In addition, we havehistorically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community and believethat continuing to provide non-GAAP measures provides investors with a tool forcomparing results over time.
