 GAAP to Non-GAAP Invoiced Shipment Reconciliation
 (In thousands)

Use of Non-GAAP Invoiced Shipments Information:

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, Infinera uses non-GAAP Invoiced Shipment measures of operating results, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and warrant valuation expense and include changes in deferred revenue and deferred cost of inventory. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Infinera's underlying operating results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-GAAP Invoiced Shipments results are an indication of our baseline performance that are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or basic and diluted net income per share prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP Invoiced Shipments financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations.



 (a) Included amount represents the change in the deferred revenue 
     balance for the period as reported on the company's balance 
     sheet.  We believe investors want to see the income statement 
     with the change in deferral balance included in order to 
     understand the gross margin profile of the underlying invoiced 
     shipments.
 
 (b) Included amount represents the change in the deferred cost of 
     inventory balance for the period as reported on the company's 
     balance sheet.  We believe investors want to see the income 
     statement with the change in the deferral balance included in 
     order to understand the gross margin profile of the underlying 
     invoiced shipments.

 (c) Excluded amount represents stock-based compensation expense. 
     Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in 
     accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). While a 
     large component of our expense, we believe investors want to 
     evaluate our financial results  both including and excluding the 
     effects of stock-based compensation expense in order to compare 
     our financial performance with that of other companies and 
     between time periods.

 (d) Excluded amount represents the adjustment to revalue our 
     convertible preferred warrants to fair value as required by FAS 
     150.  Subsequent to our IPO, we are no longer required to revalue 
     these warrants and, therefore, we believe investors want to 
     evaluate our financial results both including and excluding the 
     effect of this revaluation expense in order to compare our 
     financial performance with that of other companies and between 
     periods.
