Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to, but are not limited to, statements about potential customer or market opportunities, growth and pipeline opportunities, statements about customer anticipated purchase trends, including bookings and bookings trends, industry, market and customer trends, opportunities with existing and prospective customers, the anticipated benefits from and effectiveness of our supply-chain reengineering activities, the future impact, financial or otherwise, of the recent U.S. tariffs or any other tariffs or trade regulations that may be imposed whether by the United States or other countries, as well as our ability to effectively mitigate such impacts and future financial performance (including our updated guidance for the first quarter of 2019). Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including but not limited to fluctuations in the Company’s financial and operating results, the capital spending decisions of its customers, changes and disruptions in the market and industry, changes in regulations and/or government sponsored programs, competition, its ability to achieve market acceptance of new products and solutions, its ability to grow its customer base, fluctuations in costs associated with its products and services including higher costs due to project delays and changes, third party dependencies for production and resource management associated with our global supply-chain reengineering activities that may cause delays in production and unavailability of products to meet customer orders, which may be substantial, cost overruns and other unanticipated factors, as well as the risks and uncertainties described in its annual reports on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, each as filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors.” Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made and are based on information available to the Company at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. Calix assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual performance or results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In this press release we refer to estimated non-GAAP net loss per diluted common share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance as it primarily excludes non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and U.S. tariff and tariff-related costs, which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measure used in this press release provides investors with an important perspective into the Company’s ongoing business performance, and management uses this non-GAAP measure and others to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. The presentation of this non-GAAP measure is not meant to be a substitute for the result presented in accordance with GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with that GAAP result. A reconciliation of the estimated non-GAAP result to the most directly comparable estimated GAAP result is provided in this press release. The non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
