(Brocade(R)) (Nasdaq: BRCD), the world's leading provider of infrastructure solutions for Storage Area Networks (SANs), today announced preliminary results for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 (Q3 04) ended July 31, 2004. Brocade expects to report net revenue for Q3 04 in a range of $149.5 to 150.5 million and GAAP net income per share of $0.06 to $0.07. The GAAP earnings include a pre-tax gain of $3.5 million, equivalent to $0.01 per share, related to repurchases of $47.4 million of the company's convertible subordinated debt. "I am pleased to announce revenue that is in line with our previous outlook and better than expected EPS," said Greg Reyes, Chairman and CEO. "Given the unusually large number of pre-announcements by storage-related companies with lower than expected financial results, we believe that it is important to provide our preliminary results so the market can assess Brocade's performance and competitive position accurately." Brocade will announce complete Q3 04 results after the close of the market on Wednesday, August 18, 2004. Financial results will be released over PR Newswire and First Call. Following the press release, Brocade will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET). The call is being webcast live via the Internet at www.brocade.com/investors. A replay of the conference call will be available via webcast for twelve months at www.brocade.com/investors.
