"Third quarter results were ahead of our expectations and continued to demonstrate growth and increased sales momentum. Our Unified Access portfolio continued to strengthen, and communications service providers leveraged new options to bring 'Fiber Forward' in their networks. On September 16, 2010, we announced that Calix had entered into a definitive agreement for Calix to acquire Occam Networks. We believe that the acquisition of Occam Networks would allow us to accelerate our Unified Access vision by speeding product innovation and expanding our United Access portfolio, providing communications service providers with more options and new innovations delivered at a fast pace," said Calix president and CEO Carl Russo. "As we look into the fourth quarter, we see our fourth quarter goals as achievable, but we will continue to manage our business closely as we monitor the macroeconomic climate."

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements can be identified by the words, "believes," "views," "expects," "projects," "hopes," "could," "will," "intends," "should," "estimate," "would," "may," "anticipates," "plans" and other similar words. These statements are based on management's current expectations, estimates, forecasts, projections and beliefs and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this document include the quotations from management in this press release, including the Company's beliefs about the strength of its Unified Access portfolio and its ability to bring 'Fiber Forward' in the networks of communication service providers and the Company's ability to manage its business and continue growth and sales momentum, as well as statements regarding the Company's strategic and operational plans, statements regarding the benefits of the acquisition of Occam Networks and acquisition-related costs, statements about faster product and technology innovation and statements regarding the ability to accelerate and expand the Unified Access portfolio and provide more options for customers.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance, involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, and are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed herein. For example, if Occam Networks does not receive required stockholder approval or the parties fail to satisfy other conditions to closing, the transaction may not be consummated.

Use of Non-GAAP financial information

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company's operating performance as they exclude certain non-cash charges and non-recurring acquisition related costs which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this press release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company's ongoing business performance and management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not meant to be a substitute for results presented in accordance with GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with these results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP results is provided in the financial schedules portion of this press release. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company makes adjustments for the following items in analyzing its operating results as it does not consider these items to part of the Company's ongoing operating activities or meaningful in evaluating the Company's financial performance:

Stock-based compensation

A non-cash expense incurred in accordance with SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method.

Amortization of intangible assets

A non-cash expense resulting from intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Optical Solutions, Inc. (OSI) in February 2006. The Company is required to amortize these assets over their expected useful lives.

Change in fair value of preferred stock warrants

A non-cash expense or benefit resulting from the revaluation of the Company's preferred stock warrant liability. Upon completion of the Company's initial public offering, the preferred warrant liability was reclassified as a component of stockholders' equity, and the Company is no longer required to revalue the warrants.

Preferred stock dividends

Preferred stock dividends represent Series I preferred stock dividends paid to the Company's Series I shareholders prior to the conversion of preferred stock in connection with the Company's initial public offering.

Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition-related costs represent legal and professional services associated with our intended merger with Occam Networks Inc.
