"Record revenue and bookings led a strong fourth quarter and finish to 2011," commented Atul Bhatnagar, Ixia's president and chief executive officer. "Accelerated demand for our 10G and high-speed Ethernet solutions drove growth in the quarter along with higher than expected sales of LTE and Wi-Fi testing solutions. We saw especially strong demand from equipment manufacturers and from customers in North America.
"The competitive pressure placed on equipment manufacturers, service providers and enterprises to satisfy the ever-changing, ever-increasing quality requirements of end users will continue to expand new network technologies and deployments and should increase the demand for our products," continued Mr. Bhatnagar. "Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the opportunities we see in 2012. Our end-to-end testing and simulation solutions across IP, LTE and Wi-Fi networks address key global trends, including mobile Internet, rich-media applications and next generation network upgrades."
Ixia ended the fourth quarter with approximately $385 million in cash and investments, compared with $367 million at September 30, 2011.

To supplement our consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and in the attachments hereto. Specifically, we have provided non-GAAP financial measures (e.g., non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest income and other, net, non-GAAP income tax expense, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share) that exclude certain non-cash and/or non-recurring income and expense items such as proceeds and expenses from certain legal and contractual settlements, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition and other related costs, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring expenses, certain inventory adjustments, and the related income tax effects of these items, as well as the income tax impacts of the valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets. The aforementioned items represent income and expense items that may be difficult to estimate from period to period and/or that we believe are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of our business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our financial performance. We believe that by excluding these items, our non-GAAP measures provide supplemental information to both management and investors that is useful in assessing our core operating performance, in evaluating our ongoing business operations and in comparing our results of operations on a consistent basis from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to plan and forecast future periods and to assist in making operating and strategic decisions. The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The information therefore may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures which are included below in the attached financial tables.
