NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER-SHARE DATA

1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial statements, the requirements of Form 10-Q and applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. Therefore, they do not include all disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements and notes herein are to be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2012.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

2. Restructuring and Other Charges

On January 31, 2013, management initiated a restructuring plan that is designed to align expenses with revenue. Tellabs is discontinuing the development of the 9200 product and reducing operating expenses. The pretax charges for this plan will consist of approximately $16 million for workforce reductions of approximately 300 employees, $15 million for facility- and asset-related charges, and $5 million for software license and other contract cancellations. Restructuring expense for this plan for the second quarter of 2013 was $3.5 million, which consists of a reduction of expense of $0.1 million for severance-related charges and charges of $3.6 million for facility- and asset-related charges. Restructuring expense for this plan for the first six months of 2013 was $36.3 million, which consists of $16.1 million for severance-related charges, $16.0 million for facility- and asset-related charges, and $4.2 million for other obligations. By segment, total charges to date under this plan are $1.0 million for Optical, $34.9 million for Data, and $0.4 million for Services. Estimated cash payments under this plan are expected to be $20.2 million, of which $12.9 million has been paid through the second quarter of 2013. Other than the cash payments, actions under this plan are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.

On October 24, 2012, management initiated a restructuring plan that is designed to further align expenses with revenue and current market conditions. In order to reduce costs and operating expenses, this plan includes moving certain functions to lower cost geographies. The pretax charges will consist of approximately $10 million for severance-related charges that will affect approximately 200 employees, and $1 million for facility- and asset-related charges. Restructuring expense for this plan for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.7 million, for severance-related charges. Restructuring expense for this plan for the first six months of 2013 was $0.8 million, which consists of $0.5 million for severance-related charges and $0.3 million for facility- and asset-related charges. Cumulative restructuring charges for this plan are $10.2 million, which consists of $9.7 million for severance-related charges and $0.5 million for facility- and asset-related charges. By segment, total charges to date under this plan are $2.3 million for Optical, $3.8 million for Data, $0.8 million for Access, and $3.3 million for Services. Estimated cash payments under this plan are expected to be $8.6 million, of which $5.3 million has been paid through the second quarter of 2013. Other than the cash payments, actions under this plan are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.

On January 30, 2012, management initiated a restructuring plan that aligns expenses with revenue. Tellabs stopped new development on the Tellabs^® SMARTCORE 9100 series for mobile packet core and consolidated research and development into fewer locations. A net reduction in expense for this plan for the second quarter of 2013 was $4.0 million, which consists of reductions of $0.1 million for workforce adjustments and $3.9 million for facility- and asset-related charges related to a change in sub-tenant leases. A net reduction in expense for this plan for the first six months of 2013 was $2.5 million, which consists of reductions of $0.2 million for workforce adjustments and $2.3 million for facility- and asset-related charges. Cumulative restructuring charges for this plan are $106.3 million, which consists of $23.0 million for severance-related charges, $34.4 million for facility- and asset-related charges, $47.7 million for the accelerated amortization of abandoned intangible assets, and $1.2 million for other obligations. By segment, total charges to date under this plan are $4.4 million for Optical, $98.2 million for Data, $1.5 million for Access, and $2.2 million for Services. Estimated cash payments under this plan are expected to be $28.5 million, of which $26.9 million has been paid through the second quarter of 2013. Other than the cash payments, actions under this plan were completed in the first quarter of 2013.

7

Restructuring expense for previous restructuring plans for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.3 million, which consists of a reduction of expense of $0.1 million for severance-related charges, charges of $0.3 million for facility- and asset-related charges and $0.1 million of other obligations. Restructuring expense for the first six months of 2013 was $0.6 million, which consists of a reduction of expense of $0.2 million for severance-related charges, charges of $0.7 million for facility- and asset-related charges and $0.1 million of other obligations.

The balance for restructuring plans relates to net lease obligations that expire through 2017 and cash severance that we expect to pay through the first quarter of 2014.

The following table summarizes restructuring and other charges recorded for the plans mentioned above, as well as adjustments to reserves recorded for prior restructurings:

3. Fair Value Measurements

Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, marketable securities and derivatives. The carrying value of the cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of their short-term nature. We determine the fair value of marketable securities and derivatives based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets, or other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Fair value is measured as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1 - Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets;

• Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value for recurring financial assets and liabilities, we separate our financial instruments into three categories: marketable securities, other marketable securities and loan related to other marketable securities, and derivative financial instruments. These assets and liabilities are all valued based on the market approach that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

9

Marketable Securities

We use a third-party provider to determine fair values of marketable securities. The third-party provider receives market prices for each marketable security from a variety of industry-standard data providers, security master files from large financial institutions and other third-party sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The third-party provider uses these multiple prices as inputs into a pricing model to determine a weighted average price for each security. Tellabs management compares the third-party pricing with pricing from outside investment managers and other market sources to ensure the third-party pricing is reasonable. We classify U.S. Treasury bills and bonds as Level 1 based upon quoted prices in active markets. All other marketable securities are classified as Level 2 based upon the other than quoted prices with observable market data. The type of instruments valued based upon the observable market data include U.S. government sponsored enterprise (agency) debt obligations, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-backed corporate debt obligations, investment grade corporate bonds, state and municipal debt obligations, mortgaged backed debt obligations guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), certain FDIC-backed bank certificates of deposit, foreign government debt obligations and foreign corporate debt obligations guaranteed by foreign governments.

Other Marketable Securities and Loan Related to Other Marketable Securities

We classify holdings in other marketable securities (Cisco common stock) and the related loan as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. We classify these as Level 1 since they are actively traded through a governed exchange.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our foreign currency forward contracts are executed as exchange-traded. Market participants can be described as large money center or regional banks. Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy depending on whether they are deemed to be actively traded or not.

We have elected to value derivatives as Level 2, using observable market data at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). Key inputs for currency derivatives are the spot rate, interest rates and credit derivative swap spreads. The spot rate for each currency is the same spot rate used for all balance sheet translations at the measurement date. The following values are calculated from commonly quoted intervals available from a third-party financial information provider. Forward points and LIBOR rates are used to calculate a discount rate to apply to assets and liabilities. One-year credit default swap spreads are used to discount derivative assets, all of which have final maturities of less than 12 months. We calculate the discount to the derivative liabilities to reflect the potential credit risk to lenders and have used the spread over LIBOR based on the credit risk of our counterparties. Each asset is individually discounted to reflect our potential credit risk and we have used the spread over LIBOR based on similar credit risk. We do not adjust the fair value for immaterial credit risk.

We have applied a valuation method for financial assets and liabilities consistently during this period and prior periods. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy “Financial instruments owned at fair value.” Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are:

Total	$	277.0	$	274.5

Gross unrealized gains and losses related to fixed-income securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations. We review investments held with unrealized losses to determine if the loss is other-than-temporary. We evaluated near-term prospects of the security in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized loss. We also assessed our intent to sell the security, whether it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery, or the security is not expected to recover its entire amortized cost basis. Based on our review, we do not intend to sell these securities and believe that they will recover their entire amortized cost basis; therefore, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 28, 2013. No other-than-temporary impairments were recorded in the second quarter or first six months of 2013 and 2012.

Gross unrealized gains and losses related to fixed-income securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations. No other-than-temporary impairments were recorded in the second quarter or first six months of 2013 and 2012.

Other marketable securities and Loan related to other marketable securities

With the acquisition of Advanced Fibre Communications, Inc. (AFC) in 2004, we acquired 10.6 million shares of Cisco common stock, shown as Other marketable securities in Current Assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our Cisco common stock is classified as a trading security. In addition, we have a share loan arrangement with a financial institution for the same number of shares of Cisco common stock shown as Loan related to other marketable securities in Current Liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, which is due on demand.

As a result, we own the same number of Cisco shares as we have borrowed under the share loan arrangement; thereby, eliminating any market risk exposure associated with the share loan arrangement as increases (or decreases) in the value of Cisco stock are off-set equally by increases (or decreases) in the value of the shares of Cisco stock we own. In the event the counter-party financial institution to the share loan arrangement demands return of the borrowed Cisco shares, we will settle the obligation with our Cisco shares or with shares borrowed from another lender.

Other marketable securities and Loan related to other marketable securities was $244.1 million at a market price of $24.34 per share at June 28, 2013, and $195.1 million at a market price of $19.45 per share at December 28, 2012. The fees associated with the stock loan agreement of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, and $0.6 million in the first six months of 2013 and 2012, are included in Interest income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Additionally, in connection with our acquisition of AFC, we recorded a tax liability associated with a deferred gain relating to a settled hedging arrangement on the acquired Cisco shares. The deferred tax liability was $184.0 million as of June 28, 2013, and as of December 28, 2012.

The Cisco shares and related loan discussed above are maintained by us in order to defer recognition of the tax gain for income tax purposes. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we settled 0.6 million shares, reducing the number of borrowed shares to 10.0 million. In the future we may settle all or a portion of the remaining borrowed shares to the extent we are able to offset the gain by utilizing net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. To the extent we cannot offset all or a portion of the gain, we may incur cash tax payments that could significantly reduce our cash and cash equivalents.

Long-term equity investments

In addition to the above investments, we maintain investments in partnerships and start-up technology companies. We include these investments in Other Assets, at cost. These investments totaled $1.6 million at June 28, 2013, and $1.8 million at December 28, 2012. We review each investment quarterly, including historical and projected financial performance, expected cash needs and recent funding events. We recognize other-than-temporary impairments if the market value of the investment is below its cost basis for an extended period of time or if the issuer has experienced significant financial declines or difficulties in raising capital to continue operations. We did not record other–than-temporary impairments for the second quarters and six months ended June 28, 2013, and June 29, 2012. Gains on the sale of long-term equity investments and other-than-temporary impairments are included in Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

Financial Contracts and Market Risk

We conduct business on a global basis in U.S. and foreign currencies, subjecting us to risks associated with fluctuating foreign exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we use derivative foreign exchange contracts to address nonfunctional exposures that are expected to be settled in one year or less. The derivative foreign exchange contracts consist of foreign currency forward and option contracts.

Derivative financial contracts involve elements of market and credit risk. The market risk that results from these contracts relates to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which generally are offset by changes in the value of the underlying assets or liabilities being held. Credit risk relates to the risk of nonperformance by a counterparty to one of the derivative contracts. We do not believe there is a significant credit risk associated with our hedging activities. We monitor the counterparties’ credit ratings and other market data to minimize credit risk. In addition, we also limit the aggregate contract amount entered into with any one financial institution to mitigate credit risk.

Cash Flow Hedges

We use foreign currency forward and option contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to mitigate currency risk related to an imbalance of nonfunctional currency denominated costs and related revenue. We conduct monthly effectiveness tests of these hedging relationships on a spot-to-spot basis, excluding forward points. Effective gains and losses from derivative contracts are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transactions occur, at which time they are reclassified to Total Revenue. Ineffectiveness is recorded to Other expense, net. If it becomes probable that an anticipated transaction that is hedged will not occur, we immediately reclassify the gains or losses related to that hedge from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Other expense, net. We continue to monitor the Company’s overall currency

exposure and may elect to add additional cash flow hedges in the future if deemed necessary. At June 28, 2013, we had a net unrealized gain of $0.7 million in Accumulated other comprehensive income, which is expected to be reclassified to income within the next 12 months. At June 28, 2013, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in one currency, with a gross notional equivalent of $14.1 million. We did not hold any derivatives designated as cash flow hedges at June 29, 2012.

Balance Sheet Hedges (Non-designated Hedges)

Short-term monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured through income as foreign currency rates fluctuate. Changes in the value of derivative contracts intended to offset these fluctuations are also recorded in income. These derivative contracts are not designated as hedges. At June 28, 2013, we held non-designated foreign currency forward contracts in 13 currencies, with a gross notional equivalent of $110.1 million. At June 29, 2012, we held non-designated foreign currency forward contracts in 14 currencies, with a gross notional equivalent of $212.3 million.

Net Investment Hedges

Periodically we may enter into foreign currency contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of our net investment in one of our foreign subsidiaries to preserve the U.S. dollar value of our Euro cash. Effective changes in the fair value of these contracts, less applicable deferred income taxes are recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be reflected in income only when we dispose of the investment in the foreign subsidiary. We conduct monthly effectiveness tests of net investment hedges on a spot-to-spot basis, excluding forward points, and any measurement of ineffectiveness is recorded in income. As of June 28, 2013, we had a net unrealized gain of $16.1 million in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to settled contracts. At June 28, 2013, we did not have any net investment hedges outstanding. As of June 29, 2012, we had a net unrealized gain of $21.2 million in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to settled contracts.

The fair value of derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2013, was as follows:

	Asset Derivatives Reported in Miscellaneous Receivables and Other Current Assets		Liability Derivatives Reported in Other Accrued Liabilities
Cash flow hedges	$	0.6	$	—
Balance sheet hedges (Non-designated hedges)		0.1		0.2

¹ The gains or losses from changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts are generally offset by gains or losses of the underlying transactions being hedged.

6. Product Warranties

We provide warranties for all of our products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending on the product. We provide a basic limited warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to 6 years.

The estimate of warranty liability involves many factors, including the number of units shipped, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of the recorded warranty liability and adjust the amounts as necessary. Other adjustments to accruals for product warranties represent reductions due to favorable experience to previous estimates.

We classify the portion of warranty liability that we expect to incur in the next 12 months as a current liability. We classify the portion of warranty liability that we expect to incur more than 12 months in the future as a long-term liability. Product warranty liabilities are as follows:

	Second Quarter						Six Months
	6/28/13			6/29/12			6/28/13			6/29/12
Balance – beginning of period	$	15.8		$	17.3		$	15.8		$	17.0

7. Equity-Based Compensation

The Tellabs, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan (2004 Plan) provides for the grant of short-term and long-term incentives, including stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and performance stock units (PSUs). Equity-based grants vest over one to three years, with the majority vesting over a three-year period. We recognize compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and PSUs over the service period based on the fair value on the grant date. Stock options and SARs granted but unexercised expire 10 years from the grant date. Stockholders previously approved 53,889,977 shares for grant under the 2004 Plan, of which 15,255,440 remain available for grant at June 28, 2013.

Stock Options

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the use of assumptions that will have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. There were no stock options granted during the second quarter and first six months of 2013.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to compute the weighted average fair value of stock option grants:

	6/29/12
Expected volatility		43.3	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.9	%
Expected term (in years)		5.3
Expected dividend yield		2.0	%

We based our calculation of expected volatility on a combination of historical and implied volatility for options granted. We based the risk-free interest rate on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. We estimated the expected term of the options using their vesting period, post-vesting employment termination behavior and historical exercise patterns. We based the expected dividend yield on the option’s exercise price and annualized dividend rate at the date of grant.

The following is a summary of stock option activity during 2013 as of June 28, 2013:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in  millions)
Outstanding – beginning of year		16,713,155		$	7.50
Exercised		(470	)	$	0.16
Forfeited/expired		(1,037,933	)	$	7.26
Outstanding – end of period		15,674,752		$	7.52		2.9	$	—
Exercisable – end of period		14,547,270		$	7.75		2.5	$	—
Shares vested or expected to vest		15,603,508		$	7.53		2.9	$	—

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price as of June 28, 2013, that the option holders would have received had all holders exercised their options as of that date. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercised stock options during the second quarter of 2013 was negligible.

Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights

The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of cash-settled SARs in conjunction with, or independent of, the stock options under the 2004 Plan. These SARs allow the holder to receive in cash the difference between the cash-settled SARs’ grant price (the market value of our stock on the grant date) and the market value of our stock on the date the holder exercises the SAR. There were no SARs granted during the first six months of 2013. There were no cash payments during the first six months of 2013 and 2012.

16

The following is a summary of cash-settled SARs activity during 2013 as of June 28, 2013:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding – beginning of year		456,195		$	6.67
Forfeited/expired		(20,667	)	$	5.58
Outstanding – end of period		435,528		$	6.72

Restricted Stock

The fair market value of restricted stock vested was $3.2 million in the first six months of 2013. The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock was $2.07 per share in the first six months of 2013 and $3.95 per share in the first six months of 2012.

The following is a summary of restricted stock activity during 2013 as of June 28, 2013:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested – beginning of year		3,899,865		$	4.68
Granted		881,372		$	2.07
Vested		(1,511,388	)	$	5.33
Forfeited		(507,478	)	$	4.54
Non-vested – end of period		2,762,371		$	3.51

Performance Stock Units

The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of PSUs. We granted 5,282,045 PSUs in the first six months of 2013 and 1,962,549 PSUs in the first six months of 2012. The PSUs granted in the first six months of 2013 entitle the recipients to receive shares of our common stock commencing in the first quarter of 2014, contingent on the achievement of operating earnings, performance related to revenue and attainment of strategic objectives for the 2013 fiscal year. Following achievement of these measures and subject to continued employment, one-third of such shares will be issued in annual installments beginning in the first quarter of 2014. At maximum target performance, we will issue one share for each PSU granted. The weighted average price of PSUs granted in the first six months of 2013 was $2.20 per share and the weighted average price of PSUs granted in the first six months of 2012 was $3.98 per share.

The PSUs granted in 2012 entitle the recipients to receive shares of our common stock commencing in the first quarter of 2013, contingent on the achievement of operating earnings targets and strategic goals for the 2012 fiscal year. Under the executive plan, 100% of the PSUs were earned and one share for each PSU will be paid out, subject to continued employment. We issued one-third (255,573 shares) of the total shares in the first quarter of 2013 and generally, one-third of such shares will be issued in annual installments in the first quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015.

The following is a summary of PSU activity during 2013 as of June 28, 2013:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested – beginning of year		1,633,866		$	4.40
Granted		5,282,045		$	2.20
Vested		(949,901	)	$	4.61
Forfeited		(661,038	)	$	2.77
Non-vested – end of period		5,304,972		$	2.38

Equity-Based Compensation Expense

The following table sets forth the total equity-based compensation expense resulting from stock options, SARs, restricted stock, and PSUs by line item on the Statements of Operations:

Performance stock units		0.3		1.7			0.7		2.7
Total	$	2.0	$	4.8		$	5.1	$	10.4

As of June 28, 2013, we had $9.1 million of unrecognized equity-based compensation cost that we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

8. Income Taxes

We recorded tax expense of $3.0 million in the second quarter and zero for the first six months of 2013. Our tax expense results in an effective tax rate that differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to limitations on our ability to record a tax benefit on losses from domestic operations, combined with tax expense on income from foreign operations.

9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income has no impact on our net loss but is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet through adjustments to stockholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income derives from unrealized gains (losses) and related adjustments on available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized net gains (losses) on our retiree medical plan.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (net of tax) for the first six months of 2013 consists of the following:

	Unrealized Net Gain (Loss) on Available-for- Sale Securities			Unrealized net Gain on Cash Flow Hedges		Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments			Unrecognized Prior Service Cost			Unrecognized Net Gain on Retiree Medical Plan		Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Balance at December 28, 2012	$	2.4		$	—	$	94.9		$	(0.1	)	$	1.8	$	99.0

The segments use many of the same assets. For internal reporting purposes, we do not allocate assets by segment and therefore asset, depreciation and amortization, or capital expenditure by segment information is not provided to our chief operating decision maker.

11. Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to legal claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, such as employment or intellectual property claims, including the matters described below. We are unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome against us and are unable to reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any.

Fujitsu Network Communications Inc. v. Tellabs, Inc. On January 28, 2008, Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. and Fujitsu Limited filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Tellabs in a case captioned Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. and Fujitsu Limited v. Tellabs, Inc. and Tellabs Operations, Inc., Civil Action No. 6:08-cv-00022-LED. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,526,163 (‘163 patent), 5,521,737 (‘737 patent), 5,386,418 (‘418 patent) and 6,487,686 (‘686 patent), and seeks unspecified damages including enhanced damages, as well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. The case was thereafter transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Case No. 1:09-cv-04530). As to Fujitsu’s ‘686 patent, on November 4, 2010, the Court dismissed with prejudice Fujitsu’s claim for infringement of the patent and Fujitsu signed a covenant not to sue Tellabs for infringement of the patent as to any Tellabs products as they currently exist or existed in the past. As to Fujitsu’s ‘418 patent, on March 31, 2011, the Court denied Tellabs’ motion for summary judgment of invalidity based on indefiniteness and granted Fujitsu’s motion for summary judgment for judicial correction of an error in asserted Claim 1. On September 26, 2012, the Court granted a motion by Tellabs for summary judgment of invalidity of all asserted claims of the ‘418 patent, and judgment was entered in favor of Tellabs on its counterclaim for declaratory judgment of invalidity of the patent. Fujitsu’s appeal of this order and judgment was withdrawn and the appeal dismissed. As to Fujitsu’s ‘737 patent, on September 27, 2012, the Court denied a motion by Tellabs for summary judgment of invalidity. A trial date of January 14, 2013 had been set by the Court to commence trial of Fujitsu’s ‘163 and ‘737 patents, however on November 1, 2012, the scheduled trial date was struck from the Court’s calendar in favor of an alternative trial date to be later determined. On December 21, 2012, the Court granted a motion by Tellabs for summary judgment on lost profits damages, and as a result Fujitsu Limited is precluded from pursuing the theory of lost profits. Tellabs contests any liability and will continue to vigorously defend itself accordingly. On May 14, 2013, the Court set a jury trial on Fujitsu’s ‘163 and ‘737 patents for February 24, 2014, and on May 15, 2013, the Court consolidated Civil Action Nos. 1:09-cv-04530 and 1:12-cv-03229 for purposes of trial of Fujitsu’s ‘163 and ‘737 patents. On May 23, 2013, the Court issued an Amended Memorandum Opinion and Order granting Tellabs’ motion for summary judgment on lost profits damages, which Fujitsu is appealing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (docketed June 4, 2013, as Fujitsu Limited v. Tellabs, Inc., Misc. No. 154).

Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Network Communications Inc. On June 11, 2008, Tellabs Operations, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. in a case captioned Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. Civil Action No. 1:08-cv-3379. The complaint alleged infringement of Tellabs Operations, Inc.’s U.S. Patent No. 7,369,772 (‘772 patent), and sought unspecified damages including enhanced damages, as well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. Fujitsu Limited brought counterclaims alleging infringement of two U.S.

20

patents, namely U.S. Patent Nos. 5,533,006 (‘006 patent) and 7,227,681 (‘681 patent), seeking unspecified damages including enhanced damages, as well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. On March 31, 2011, the Court issued an Order granting Tellabs’ motion for summary judgment of invalidity of all claims of Fujitsu’s ’006 patent. As to Tellabs’ ‘772 patent, Fujitsu pursued an inter partes reexamination of the patent in the Patent Office which resulted in a December 12, 2011, decision by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI) to reverse the Examiner’s decision to not reject the claims of the patent, as well as a January 9, 2013, BPAI decision affirming the Examiner’s rejection of amended claims of the patent. On February 14, 2013, Tellabs moved to dismiss all claims related to the ‘772 patent. As to Fujitsu’s ‘681 patent, in July, 2012, the Court denied a Tellabs’ motion for summary judgment of invalidity and granted Fujitsu’s motion for summary judgment finding no inequitable conduct. Trial on Fujitsu’s ’681 patent commenced on August 27, 2012, and concluded on September 7, 2012, whereupon the jury’s verdict the Court entered judgment in favor of Tellabs on Fujitsu’s claim for infringement of the ‘681 patent and in favor of Fujitsu on Tellabs’ claim for invalidity of the same patent, and the parties’ respective post-trial motions were denied by the Court on January 24, 2013. Both Tellabs and Fujitsu are appealing the denial of post-trial motions related to the ‘681 patent. On February 19, 2013, the Court granted Tellabs’ motion to dismiss claims related to Tellabs’ ‘772 patent and terminated Civil Action No. 1:08-cv-3379.

Fujitsu Limited v. Tellabs, Inc. On April 30, 2012, Fujitsu Limited filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Tellabs in a case captioned Fujitsu Limited v. Tellabs Operations, Inc., Tellabs, Inc., and Tellabs North America, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-03229. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,526,163 (‘163 patent), 5,521,737 (‘737 patent), 5,386,418 (‘418 patent) and 7,227,681 (‘681 patent), the same patents at issue in Civil Action Nos. 1:09-cv-04530 and 1:08-cv-3379, and seeks unspecified damages including enhanced damages, as well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief.

Mahmood Alizadeh v. Tellabs, Inc., et al. and Lawrence Sasala v. Tellabs, Inc., et al. Beginning on January 23, 2013, two purported stockholder class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, against Tellabs, Inc. and certain of our former officers alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The lawsuits were consolidated and the court appointed co-lead plaintiffs and co-lead counsel. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 3, 2013, which purports to bring claims on behalf of those who purchased the Company’s publicly traded securities between June 9, 2010, and April 26, 2011. Plaintiffs allege that defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s revenues and prospects, and seek unspecified compensatory damages and other relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on July 24, 2013. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously.

John Nicholas v. Michael J. Birck, et al. On March 19, 2013, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against current and former officers and directors of the Company alleging breaches of fiduciary duties, insider trading and unjust enrichment between October 26, 2010, and July 27, 2012. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The Plaintiff seeks to recover unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and other relief. The lawsuit has been stayed by the court pending the outcome of the motion to dismiss in the consolidated Alizadeh stockholder class action lawsuit.

Apart from the matters described above, we are and in the future may be subject to various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims may include indemnification and/or other obligations on the part of Tellabs relative to infringement assertions brought by third parties against our customers or partners, and relative to commercial assertions brought by our customers or partners.

The proceedings described above, including the Fujitsu matters, the Telcordia matter, the Cheetah Omni matter, the Internet Machines matter, the Cirrex Systems matter, the stockholder class action matters and the shareholder derivative complaint, involve costly litigation and may result in diverting management’s time, attention and resources, delaying or halting product shipments or services delivery, requiring us to pay amounts in any damages and/or settlements, requiring us to enter into royalty-bearing licensing arrangements or to obtain substitute technology of lower quality or higher costs, and otherwise imposing obligations or restrictions on us and our business. We may be unsuccessful in any such litigation, despite the time, money, energy and bases for our assertion and/or defense of the matters. We may also be unable, if necessary, to enter into licensing arrangements or to obtain substitute technology on commercially reasonable terms or any terms. Any such settlements or inability to prevail or mitigate any liability or to obtain such licensing arrangements or substitute technology may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

12. Stock Repurchase Programs

We repurchase outstanding common stock under two plans authorized by our Board of Directors. In addition, we purchase shares to cover withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans.

We intend to use cash generated by employee stock option exercises (other than those of Company officers and board members) to repurchase stock through the use of a 10b5-1 plan. These purchases were negligible in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 under this plan.

As of June 28, 2013, we have purchased 70.4 million shares of our common stock under the $600 million repurchase plan at a total cost of $405.7 million, leaving $194.3 million available to be purchased under this plan. We purchased 2.3 million shares for $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, and 13.8 million shares for $30.3 million in the first six months of 2013 under this plan.

We may change our repurchase activity and we provide no assurance that we will continue our repurchase activity in the future.

In addition, we purchased 0.1 million shares for $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 and 0.7 million shares for $1.5 million in the first six months of 2013 to cover minimum withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans.

We record repurchased shares as Treasury stock.

13. Net Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of net loss per share:

	Second Quarter						Six Months
	6/28/13			6/29/12			6/28/13			6/29/12
Numerator:

Effect of dilutive securities:
Employee stock options and restricted and performance stock awards		—			—			—			—
Denominator for diluted net loss per share – adjusted weighted average shares outstanding and assumed conversions		356.1			367.1			357.7			366.4
Net loss per share, basic	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.18	)	$	(0.39	)

¹  Dilutive securities are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when a company is in a loss position. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 and the second quarter and first six months of 2012 are the same. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 356.4 million in the second quarter of 2013, 358.9 million in the first six months of 2013, and 368.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 and 368.2 million in the first six months of 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Introduction and Overview of Business

Tellabs designs, develops and supports telecommunications networking products. We generate revenue principally through the sale of these products to communications service providers worldwide as both stand-alone network elements and as elements of solutions integrated under a common network management system. We also generate revenue by providing services to our customers.

23

We report in four segments: Optical, Data, Access and Services.

Optical segment products are primarily used to manage large volumes of telecommunication traffic in metro areas. The Optical segment includes the Tellabs^® 5000 Series of Digital Cross-Connect systems, the Tellabs^® 6300 Managed Transport System, the Tellabs^® 7100 OTS and the Tellabs^® 7300 Metro Ethernet Switching Series.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue in the second quarter of 2013 was $212.1 million, compared with $288.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. Our business outside North America continues to be challenged by weakness in Western Europe and regulatory uncertainty in Mexico. As customers migrate to new technologies, revenue from earlier-developed products and services declines and overall corporate profitability suffers. This situation is compounded when customers are slow to adopt our new products and services. In the face of these market conditions, Tellabs is streamlining its costs and operating expenses with the goal of enhancing Tellabs solutions for future revenue growth while achieving nominal profitability.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2013 was $7.8 million or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted), compared with net loss of $4.7 million or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted) in the second quarter of 2012. In the second quarter of 2013, operating expenses included $0.5 million of restructuring and other charges primarily related to the restructuring plan announced in January 2013. Operating expenses during the second quarter of 2012 included $0.9 million of restructuring and other charges primarily related to the restructuring plan announced in January 2012.

Revenue in the first six months of 2013 was $421.5 million, compared with $546.0 million in the first six months of 2012. Net loss in the first six months of 2013 was $63.7 million or $0.18 per share (basic and diluted), compared with net loss of $144.5 million or $0.39 per share (basic and diluted) in the first six months of 2012. Operating expenses during the first six months of 2013 included $35.2 million of restructuring and other charges primarily related to the restructuring plan announced in January 2013. Operating expenses during the first six months of 2012 included $106.9 million of restructuring and other charges primarily related to the restructuring plan announced in January 2012.

Revenue (in millions)

	Second Quarter							Six Months
	2013		2012		Change			2013		2012		Change
Products	$	167.9	$	237.4		(29.3	)%	$	332.9	$	447.1		(25.5	)%

Second quarter 2013 compared with second quarter 2012

Total revenue decreased as revenue declined across each reporting segment. On a geographic basis, revenue from customers in North America (United States and Canada) was $123.4 million (or 58% of total revenue), compared with $137.9 million (or 48% of total revenue). Revenue from customers outside North America was $88.7 million (or 42% of total revenue), compared with $150.2 million (or 52% of total revenue), as we saw lower revenue across all geographic regions outside North America.

First six months 2013 compared with first six months 2012

Total revenue decreased as revenue declined across each reporting segment. On a geographic basis, revenue from customers in North America (United States and Canada) was $246.2 million (or 58% of total revenue), compared with $264.5 million (or 48% of total revenue). Revenue from customers outside North America was $175.3 million (or 42% of total revenue), compared with $281.5 million (or 52% of total revenue), as we saw lower revenue across all geographic regions outside North America.

Gross Margin

	Second Quarter									Six Months
	2013			2012			% Point Change			2013			2012			% Point Change
Products		39.1	%		41.0	%		(1.9	)		37.2	%		39.9	%		(2.7	)
Services		33.0	%		33.1	%		(0.1	)		32.5	%		31.9	%		0.6
Consolidated		37.8	%		39.6	%		(1.8	)		36.2	%		38.4	%		(2.2	)

In the second quarter and first six months of 2013, products gross margins declined compared with the year-ago periods, primarily as a result of the lower level of Data and Optical segment revenue. Services gross margins in the second quarter of 2013 were basically consistent with the year-ago period. Services gross margins improved in the first six months of 2013, compared with the year-ago period. The increase was driven primarily by reduced services costs.

Operating expenses decreased in the second quarter of 2013, compared with the year ago period, primarily due to lower research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses as we continue to see the benefit of restructuring and other cost-reduction activities. Excluding intangible asset amortization and restructuring and other charges, operating expenses in the second quarter of 2013 were $82.8 million, down $27.9 million from $110.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. Restructuring and other charges are due to severance ($0.4 million) and facility-and asset-related charges ($0.1 million).

Operating expenses decreased in the first six months of 2013, compared with the year ago period, primarily due to lower restructuring and other charges and lower research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses as we continue to see the benefit of restructuring and other cost-reduction activities. Excluding intangible asset amortization and restructuring and other charges, operating expenses in the first six months of 2013 were $180.1 million, down $55.0 million from $235.1 million in the first six months of 2012. Restructuring and other charges are due to severance ($16.2 million) and facility-and asset-related charges ($19.0 million).

Interest income was down in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, compared with same periods in 2012, due to lower interest rates and lower investment balances. In the second quarter of 2013, other expense, net primarily consisted of costs related to hedging foreign currency exposures and losses on sales of marketable securities. For the first six months of 2013 and 2012, other expense, net primarily consisted of costs related to hedging foreign currency exposures.

Income Taxes

In the second quarter of 2013, we reported tax expense of $3.0 million, compared with $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, we reported zero tax expense, compared with tax expense of $10.5 million in the first six months of 2012. Lower earnings from foreign operations drove the decline in tax expense in the second quarter of 2013 and the first six months of 2013, compared with the year-ago periods. Because we continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets, no tax benefit was recorded on losses from domestic operations. Tax expense in the second quarter of 2013 includes $0.7 million resulting from an increase in our domestic valuation allowance.

Second quarter 2013 compared with second quarter 2012

Optical

Revenue from the Optical segment was $112.7 million, compared with $122.4 million. Within this segment, increased revenue from the Tellabs^® 7100 optical transport systems was more than offset by lower revenue from the Tellabs^® 6300 managed transport systems and the Tellabs^® 5000 digital cross-connect systems. Optical segment profit was $25.4 million, compared with $29.0 million. The decline in Optical segment profitability was primarily driven by the lower level of revenue from the Tellabs^® 6300 managed transport systems and the Tellabs^® 5000 digital cross-connect systems.

Data

Revenue from the Data segment was $35.8 million, compared with $77.7 million, primarily on lower revenue from the Tellabs^® 8600 and 8800 smart routers and the Tellabs^® 8100 managed access systems. Data segment loss, driven primarily by the lower revenue level and lower gross margins, was $2.5 million, compared with segment profit of $5.4 million.

Access

Revenue from the Access segment was $19.4 million, compared with $37.3 million. The decrease in segment revenue was driven primarily by lower revenue from the Tellabs^® 1600 single-family ONTs. Access segment profit, driven primarily by the lower level of revenue and lower product gross margins, was $1.3 million, compared with $6.0 million.

Services Segment

Revenue from the Services segment was $44.2 million, compared with $50.7 million. The decline in segment revenue was driven primarily by lower deployment, support agreement and professional services revenue. Services segment profit was $14.8 million, compared with $17.2 million. The decrease in segment profit was driven primarily by the lower level of revenue from support agreements and professional services.

First six months 2013 compared with first six months 2012

Optical

Revenue from the Optical segment was $205.8 million, compared with $226.8 million. Within this segment, increased revenue from the Tellabs^® 7100 optical transport systems was more than offset by lower revenue from the Tellabs^® 6300 managed transport systems and the Tellabs^® 5000 digital cross-connect systems. Optical segment profit was $38.2 million, compared with $43.8 million. The decline in optical segment profitability was primarily driven by the lower level of revenue from the Tellabs^® 6300 managed transport systems and the Tellabs^® 5000 digital cross-connect systems, which more than offset increased product gross margins.

Data

Revenue from the Data segment was $68.7 million, compared with $147.1 million, primarily on lower revenue from the Tellabs^® 8100 managed access systems and the Tellabs^® 8600 and 8800 smart routers. Data segment loss, driven primarily by the lower overall revenue level and lower gross margins, was $17.3 million, compared with segment profit of $0.4 million.

Access

Revenue from the Access segment was $58.4 million, compared with $73.2 million. The decrease in segment revenue was driven primarily by lower revenue from the Tellabs^® 1600 single-family ONTs. Access segment profit, driven primarily by the lower level of revenue that more than offset improved product gross margins, was $9.5 million, compared with $12.4 million.

Services Segment

Revenue from the Services segment was $88.6 million, compared with $98.9 million. The decline in segment revenue was driven primarily by lower deployment, support agreement and professional services revenue. Services segment profit was $29.4 million, compared with $32.4 million. The decrease in segment profit was driven primarily by the lower level of revenue from support agreements and professional services.

Financial Condition, Liquidity & Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $541.7 million as of June 28, 2013, which decreased by $62.7 million since year-end 2012. We used $22.2 million in cash from operations during the first six months of 2013, of which $23.5 million was related to cash restructuring payments. We repurchased 2.3 million shares of common stock at a cost of $4.6 million during the second quarter of 2013, and 13.8 million shares of common stock at a cost of $30.3 million during the first six months of 2013. Of the total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as of June 28, 2013, $126.2 million was held by subsidiaries outside the United States.

We repatriated $376.8 million of our cash held by non-U.S. subsidiaries during the first six months of 2013. Except for withholding taxes of $1.1 million, we expect net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits to offset any remaining cash tax liability related to the repatriation. We anticipate that future foreign earnings will be deemed to be permanently reinvested, although we could elect to repatriate funds held in one or more foreign jurisdictions. If applicable, withholding taxes could reduce the net amount of any future repatriation, and we could be required to accrue and remit applicable U.S. income taxes to the extent a tax liability results after utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and available tax credits.

We believe that our investments are highly liquid instruments. We may rebalance the portfolio from time to time, which may affect the duration, credit structure, liquidity and future income of investments.

Based on historical performance and current forecasts, we believe the company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will satisfy working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements related to existing operations for the next 12 months. Future available sources of working capital, including cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, cash generated from future operations, short-term or long-term financing, equity offerings or any combination of these sources, should allow us to meet our long-term liquidity needs. Current policy is to use cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to fund business operations, to expand business, potentially through acquisitions, to repurchase common stock and to potentially pay a cash dividend.

GAAP Sequential Comparisons

We believe that comparing some quarterly Statement of Operations data on a sequential basis provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial results. Commonly compared sequential comparisons of GAAP data include total revenue, geographic revenue split, and segment revenue and profit.

27

Second quarter 2013 compared with first quarter 2013

Total revenue was $212.1 million, up 1.3% from $209.4 million, as increased revenue in the Optical and Data segments more than offset flat revenue in the Services segment and lower revenue in the Access segment. Revenue from customers in North America was $123.4 million (or 58% of total revenue), compared with $122.8 million (or 59% of total revenue). Revenue from customers outside North America was $88.7 million, (or 42% of total revenue), compared with $86.6 million (or 41% of total revenue) as increased revenue in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region and the Latin American Caribbean region more than offset lower revenue in the Asia Pacific region.

Optical

Revenue from the Optical segment was $112.7 million, up 21.1% from $93.1 million. The increase in segment revenue was driven primarily by the Tellabs^® 7100 optical transport systems. Optical segment profit, driven by the higher level of product revenue and gross margins, was $25.4 million, up 98.4% from $12.8 million.

Data

Revenue from the Data segment was $35.8 million, up 8.8% from $32.9 million, primarily on increased revenue from the Tellabs^® 8600 and 8800 smart routers and the Tellabs^® 8100 managed access systems. Data segment loss, driven primarily by the lower level of research and development expense and lower manufacturing costs, decreased to $2.5 million compared with segment loss of $14.8 million.

Access

Revenue from the Access segment was $19.4 million, compared with $39.0 million. The decrease in segment revenue was driven primarily by lower revenue from the Tellabs^® 1600 single-family ONTs. Access segment profit was $1.3 million, compared with $8.2 million. The decline in Access segment profit was driven primarily by lower revenue and product gross margins.

Services

Revenue from the Services segment was $44.2 million, compared with $44.4 million. The decrease in segment revenue was driven primarily by the lower level of deployment services revenue. Services segment profit, driven primarily by the lower level of deployment services revenue, which is less profitable than other services offerings, was $14.8 million, up from $14.6 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Comparisons

We believe that comparing some quarterly non-GAAP financial measures on a sequential basis provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial results. Commonly compared non-GAAP financial data includes gross profit as a percentage of revenue, operating expenses, operating earnings, net earnings and net earnings per share. A complete reconciliation between non-GAAP financial measures and the GAAP financial measures, along with an explanation of why we believe non-GAAP measures to be of value to management and investors, is contained in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjustments on pages 29 through 31.

Second quarter 2013 compared with first quarter 2013

Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 38.0%, up from 34.8%. The increase in non-GAAP gross profit margin was driven primarily by improved product mix and lower manufacturing costs.

Non-GAAP operating expenses were $81.2 million, down from $94.8 million, as we continued to see the impact of restructuring and other cost-reduction activities.

Non-GAAP operating loss, driven by lower operating expenses, higher gross margins and revenue decreased to $0.6 million, compared with operating loss of $21.9 million.

Driven primarily by lower operating expenses, higher gross margins and revenue, non-GAAP net loss was reduced to $0.9 million or zero earnings per share per share (basic and diluted), compared with net loss of $13.6 million or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted).

(1) Reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjustments

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Tellabs, Inc. has provided non-GAAP financial measures as additional information to evaluate our operating performance. These operating performance measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from measures used by other companies. Whenever we use non-GAAP financial performance measures, we provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial performance measure. Management believes the non-GAAP financial performance measures are an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors to better evaluate the operating performance of our business as it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures and because it facilitates comparisons to historical results of operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial performance measures as supplements to our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business as well as for business planning and performance management. Management discloses this information publicly along with a reconciliation of the comparable GAAP amounts, to provide access to the detail and general nature of adjustments made to GAAP financial results. While some of these excluded items have been periodically reported in our statements of operations, including significant restructuring and other charges, their occurrence in future periods depends on future business and economic factors, among other evaluation criteria, and the occurrence of such events and factors may frequently be beyond the control of management.

Footnotes to reconciliation of non-GAAP adjustments:

(a) The adjustments to cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses reflect equity-based compensation expense. We exclude these measures when reviewing financial results and for business planning and performance management. We believe that the exclusion of equity-based compensation expense allows for more accurate comparisons of operating results to our peer companies. In addition, we believe this non-cash GAAP measure is not indicative of our fundamental operating performance.

(b) We exclude amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions to evaluate our continuing operational performance. The amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with acquisitions results in recording expense in our GAAP financial statements that were already expensed by the acquired company before the acquisition and for which we have not expended cash. We believe this non-cash GAAP measure is not indicative of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of operations without regard to such expenses.

(c) We exclude restructuring and other charges because we believe that they are not related directly to the ongoing performance of our fundamental business operations. We exclude these measures when reviewing financial results and for business planning and performance management. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these transactions may limit the comparability of our fundamental operations with prior and future periods.

(d) In conjunction with the January 30, 2012 Restructuring Plan, we recorded $47.7 million of accelerated amortization for abandoned intangible assets in the first quarter of 2012 related to the mobile packet core technology. We believe this non-cash GAAP measure is not indicative of our core operating performance.

(e) We calculate a separate tax expense and effective tax rate for GAAP and for non-GAAP purposes. For non-GAAP purposes, we use a 32% effective tax rate which represents the projected, long term effective tax rate on non-GAAP pretax income. Our non-GAAP tax rate assumes full use of loss and credit carryforwards without reduction for valuation allowances.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the quarter.

Outlook

We expect third-quarter 2013 revenue to be in a range from $200 million to $220 million. We expect non-GAAP gross margin to be 37%, plus or minus a point or two. We expect third-quarter non-GAAP operating expense to be in the mid $70 million range.

Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: successful expansion into adjacent markets with new and existing products and platforms; product acceptance and profitability; our ability to compete with larger suppliers that can provide end to end solutions; customer concentration; the impact of customer and vendor consolidation; overall negative economic conditions generally and disruptions in credit and capital markets, including specific impacts of these conditions on the telecommunications industry; foreign economic conditions, including currency rate fluctuations; financial condition of telecommunications service providers, equipment vendors and contract manufacturers, including the impact of any bankruptcies; availability of components and critical manufacturing equipment and capacity; product demand and industry capacity; competitive products and pricing; competitive pressures from new entrants to the telecommunications industry; initiatives to improve profitability that may have financial consequences, including further restructuring charges and the ability to realize anticipated savings under such cost-reduction initiatives; exiting businesses and product areas; impairment charges and other cost cutting initiatives and related charges and costs; manufacturing efficiencies; research and new product development; protection of and access to intellectual property, patents and technology; ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel; the regulatory and trade environment; the impact of new or revised accounting rules or interpretations, including revenue recognition requirements; availability and terms of future acquisitions; divestitures and investments; uncertainties relating to synergies; charges and expenses associated with business combinations and other transactions; and other risks and future factors that may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. For a further description of such risks and future factors, see Item 1A of our most recently filed Form 10-K. Our actual future results could differ materially from those predicted in such forward-looking statements. In light of the foregoing risks, uncertainties and other factors, investors are advised not to rely on these forward-looking statements when making investment decisions. These factors are not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of our business. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or changes to future results over time. The foregoing discussion should be read in conjunction with the risk factors, financial statements and related notes and management’s discussion and analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2012.

¹  The amounts in this column represent the remaining amounts under the current $600 million program described below. The Rule 10b5-1 repurchase program described below does not have a repurchase amount limit; therefore, it is not included in the remaining value of shares.

We repurchase outstanding common stock under two plans authorized by our Board of Directors. In addition, we purchase shares to cover withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans.

We intend to use cash generated by employee stock option exercises (other than those of Company officers and board members) to repurchase stock through the use of a 10b5-1 plan. These purchases were negligible in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 under this plan.

As of June 28, 2013, we have purchased 70.4 million shares of our common stock under the $600 million repurchase plan at a total cost of $405.7 million, leaving $194.3 million available to be purchased under this plan. We purchased 2.3 million shares for $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, and 13.8 million shares for $30.3 million in the first six months of 2013 under this plan.

We may change our repurchase activity and we provide no assurance that we will continue our repurchase activity in the future.

In addition, we purchased 0.1 million shares for $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 and 0.7 million shares for $1.5 million in the first six months of 2013 to cover minimum withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans.

We record repurchased shares as Treasury stock.
