All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding our future operations and growth opportunities, are forward-looking statements and are based upon management's current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this release, and we assume no obligation to revise or update any such forward-looking statement to reflect any event or circumstance after the date of this release, except as required by law. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from current expectations based on risks and uncertainties affecting the Company's business. The reader is cautioned not to unduly rely on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Additional information on potential factors that could affect Calix's results and other risks and uncertainties are detailed in its reports filed with the SEC, including the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2012, available at http://www.sec.gov.

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 and non-GAAP basic and diluted income per share. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company's operating performance as they primarily exclude certain non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, gain from bargain purchase of Ericsson's fiber access assets, and non-recurring acquisition-related expenses, which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Acquisition-related expenses largely include legal and professional expenses, severance and integration-related expenses associated with our merger with Occam in 2011 and our acquisition of Ericsson's fiber access assets in 2012. In addition, acquisition-related expenses for 2011 include the charge resulting from the required revaluation of Occam inventory to its estimated fair value and inventory-related charges upon the completion of the acquisition. 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 those GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP results is provided in 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.
