The pre-COVID19 growth vectors for inside and between data centers that we previously identified continue to apply. These growth vectors include the ramp of new products, as well as the continuing addition of new customers adopting PAM4 and coherent solutions for cloud and telecom applications. In addition, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the global economy, including accelerating the secular shift to cloud computing and concurrently driving a sharp increase in the demand for bandwidth. We expect our business to continue to be favorably impacted by these phenomena.

To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, legal, transition costs and other expenses related to acquisitions, purchase price fair value adjustments related to acquisitions, loss on claim settlements and lease expense on building not occupied. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP. These results should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. We believe that our non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes charges or benefits that management considers to be outside of our core operating results. We believe that the non-GAAP measure of income from operations, in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective and understanding of our ongoing operating performance. In addition, our management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of our company, to help determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. Our non-GAAP measurements are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. The preliminary financial data included in this press release has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management.

| (b) | Reflects the legal, transition costs and other expenses related to acquisitions. We exclude this item when we evaluate the continuing operational performance of our company as management believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance. |
| (c) | Reflects the cost of goods sold fair value amortization of inventory step-up, amortization of intangibles and fair value depreciation of fixed assets related to acquisitions. The Company excludes these items when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as management believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance. |
| (d) | Reflects the expense on building lease not yet occupied. The Company excludes these items when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as management believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance. |
