More information is available at www.mellanox.com.
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Mellanox uses non-GAAP measures of net (loss) income which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expense, settlement costs, changes in certain deferred tax assets and gains (impairment losses) on equity investments. The company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors, as these non-GAAP results exclude expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. Management believes it is useful to exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expense, settlement costs, changes in deferred tax assets, and gains (impairment losses) on equity investments because it enhances investors' ability to understand our business from the same perspective as management, which believes that such items are not directly attributable to nor reflect the underlying performance of the company's business operations. Further, management believes certain non-cash charges such as share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and changes related to recognition of deferred taxes do not reflect the cash operating results of the business. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP condensed consolidated statements of operations is also presented in the financial statements portion of this release and is posted under the "Investor Relations" section on our website. Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 All statements included or incorporated by reference in this release, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including the guidance for the three months ended June 30, 2016, statements related to trends in the market for our solutions and services, opportunities for our company in 2016 and beyond, and future product capabilities. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and business, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by us, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as "projects," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "would," "could," "potential," "continue," "ongoing," similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include the continued expansion of our product line, customer base and the total available market of our products, the continued growth in demand for our products, the continued, increased demand for industry standards-based technology, our ability to react to trends and challenges in our business and the markets in which we operate, our ability to anticipate market needs or develop new or enhanced products to meet those needs, the adoption rate of our products, our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with our OEM partners, our ability to effectively compete in our industry, fluctuations in demand, sales cycles and prices for our products and services, our success converting design wins to revenue-generating product shipments, the continued launch and volume ramp of large customer sales opportunities, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to successfully acquire businesses and technologies and to successfully integrate and operate these acquired businesses, our success in realizing the anticipated benefits of mergers and acquisitions, and our ability to obtain debt at competitive rates or in sufficient amounts in order to fund our contractual commitments. Furthermore, the majority of our quarterly revenues are derived from customer orders received and fulfilled in the same quarterly period. We have limited visibility into actual end-user demand as such demand impacts us and our OEM customer inventory balances in any given quarter. Consequently, this introduces risk and uncertainty into our revenue and production forecasts and business planning and could negatively impact our financial results. In addition, current uncertainty in the global economic environment poses a risk to the overall economy as businesses may defer purchases in response to tighter credit conditions, changing overall demand for our products, and negative financial news. Consequently, our results could differ materially from our prior results due to these general economic and market conditions, political events and other risks and uncertainties described more fully in our documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
More information about the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may impact our business is set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016. All forward-looking statements in this press release, including the guidance for the three months ended June 30, 2016, are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Zadara Enhances Storage-as-a-Service Offering with Object Store and other Key Enterprise Services
IRVINE, CA – April 12, 2016 – Zadara™ Storage, the provider of enterprise-class storage-as-a-service (STaaS), today announced the addition of new storage services to their award-winning Zadara Storage Cloud. The powerful new services, targeted at both enterprises and service providers, deliver a common storage-as-aservice platform that can be deployed at any location, supporting any data type and connecting to any protocol. With traditional on-premise IT infrastructure dropping from 61% in 2015 to just 47% of worldwide external storage spending by 2019, (IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Cloud Infrastructure Tracker 3Q15, January 2016), the dramatic transition from CapEx to OpEx storage is underway. “Enterprises need scalable, elastic, enterpriseclass storage-as-a-service that is always aligned their changing worlds, and that’s exactly what we provide,” said Nelson Nahum, CEO and co-founder of Zadara Storage. “The new storage services being introduced today reinforce our commitment to providing enterprises and service providers the ability to focus on managing their business, rather than managing their storage.” The new ZIOS™ Intelligent Object Store service provides private, as-a-service, object storage with Zadara’s hallmark isolated resources. Zadara’s unique approach to dedicating resources provides the economic and scalable benefits of multi-tenancy, with the guaranteed performance and security of single-tenancy. ZIOS capacity is infinitely scalable and the performance scales equally, as capacity grows. The product is S3/Swift compatible, and provides different levels of administrative access as well as charge-back billing. ZIOS runs on Zadara clouds and shares the same infrastructure as Zadara's block and file services VPSA™ solution. To further address the growing need for flexible, high-performance, storage-as-a-service within both enterprises and service providers, Zadara has introduced 16Gb Fibre Channel host connectivity and large flash cache options. By adding 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity, Zadara customers can now leverage their investment in Fibre Channel’s low-latency, high-performance and proven enterprise-grade interoperability together with their Zadara solutions. The addition of large flash cache (up to 3.2TB) enables users to deploy large inexpensive drives to store huge amounts of data, while enjoying the high performance of flash for databases and applications with unique performance needs. Zadara also added support for VMware SRM, larger capacity 1.6TB SSDs, and enhancements to their Docker service - Zadara Container Services (ZCS). 1 “In five years, Zadara Storage has become a growing force in the cloud storage market with a distinctive approach to enterprise storage,” said Nick Sundby, director, storage consulting and business value practice lead at IDC. “The new functionality announced today addresses the widespread need for more performance, security and scalability. With ZIOS, the customer has the useful option of secure object storage on dedicated hardware, combined with the as-a-service pricing that many organizations prefer.” “Zadara Storage continues to introduce features that give them competitive differentiation in the rapidly growing storage-as-a-service market,” said Simon Robinson, vice president, Infrastructure at 451 Research. “Zadara’s approach to delivering storage that evolves with users’ needs reinforces their reputation as an innovator and aligns extremely well with the market demands.” “One cloud model will not rule all," says David Vellante, cofounder and Chief Analyst at Wikibon. "Over the next ten years, we see about $200B shifting to hybrid cloud services from legacy infrastructure management. These services will live in the public cloud, on-premise and at the edge of the network. Zadara Storage is directly participating in this transfer of value by innovating in all three of these areas. The business impact will be more value created for end consumers and less time spent managing infrastructure.” Click to Tweet: #ZadaraStorage introduces Universal Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) that Evolves with your Business - http://bit.ly/1605Release About Zadara Storage Zadara Storage offers enterprise storage-as-a-service, delivering high-performance, highly available file and block storage.
