SAN JOSE, Calif. — May 9, 2006 — Cisco Systems, Inc., the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet, today reported its third quarter results for the period ended April 29, 2006.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $7.3 billion, compared with $6.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and compared with $6.6 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. On February 24, 2006, Cisco completed the acquisition of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., which contributed $407 million to net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, was $1.4 billion or $0.22 per share, which includes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases of $188 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per share. Net income prior to fiscal 2006 did not include stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases. Including the pro forma stock-based compensation expense previously disclosed in Cisco’s financial statements footnotes, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was $1.2 billion or $0.18 per share. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, on a GAAP basis, was $1.4 billion or $0.22 per share, which includes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases of $188 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per share. Please refer to the table on page 9 for a comparison of net income, including the effect of stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was $1.8 billion or $0.29 per share, compared with $1.5 billion or $0.23 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, and compared with $1.6 billion or $0.26 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. A reconciliation between net income on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income is provided in a table on page 8.

A tax benefit of $124 million or $0.02 per share relating to a foreign tax settlement was reflected in both the GAAP and the non-GAAP results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006.

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $20.5 billion, compared with $18.2 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2005.

“Cisco’s third quarter was marked by record revenues and strong results in orders and earnings per share,” said John Chambers, president and CEO, Cisco Systems, Inc. “We saw a number of highlights this quarter, notably the growth of our U.S. and emerging markets, the continued strength of the commercial market segment and advanced technologies, and the balanced performance across most of our key product categories.”

“The technology industry is being redefined as intelligence moves throughout the network,” Chambers continued. “Not only is the network becoming the primary driver of IT, but it is also driving all forms of communications. Cisco anticipated this market evolution years ago, and today, we are seeing the benefits from our investments. We believe Cisco is uniquely positioned to enable the future of IT and communications.”

This release may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding future events and the future financial performance of Cisco that involve risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results due to a variety of factors, including: business and economic conditions and growth trends in the networking industry and in various geographic

regions; global economic conditions and uncertainties in the geopolitical environment; overall information technology spending; the growth of the Internet and levels of capital spending on Internet-based systems; variations in customer demand for products and services, including sales to the service provider market; the timing of orders and manufacturing and customer lead times; changes in customer order patterns or customer mix; insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory; variability of component costs; variations in sales channels, product costs or mix of products sold; our ability to successfully acquire businesses and technologies and to successfully integrate and operate these acquired businesses and technologies including the businesses and technologies of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.; increased competition in the networking industry; dependence on the introduction and market acceptance of new product offerings and standards; rapid technological and market change; manufacturing and sourcing risks, including risks relating to our transition to a new manufacturing model; product defects and returns; litigation involving patents, intellectual property, antitrust, shareholder and other matters; natural catastrophic events; a pandemic or epidemic; achievement of the benefits anticipated from our investments in sales and engineering activities; our ability to recruit and retain key personnel; our ability to manage financial risk; currency fluctuations and other international factors; potential volatility in operating results and other factors listed in Cisco’s most recent reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Cisco’s most recent report on Form 10-Q and report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2006, each as it may be amended from time to time. Cisco’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 29, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of Cisco’s operating results for any future periods. Any projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to Cisco, which is subject to change. Although any such projections and the factors influencing them will likely change, Cisco will not necessarily update the information, since Cisco will only provide guidance at certain points during the year. Such information speaks only as of the date of this release.

This release includes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share data, non-GAAP shares used in net income per share calculation, non-GAAP inventory turns and other non-GAAP line items from the Non-GAAP Consolidated Statements of Operations, including cost of sales, gross margin, operating expenses (including research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses), operating income, other income, net, interest and other income, net, income before provision for income taxes, and provision for income taxes.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures and the Non-GAAP Consolidated Statements of Operations are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Cisco believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Cisco’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Cisco’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Cisco believes that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share data and non-GAAP shares used in net income per share calculation, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Cisco believes that the presentation of non-GAAP inventory turns provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to inventory management based on the operating activities of the period presented.

For its internal budgeting process, Cisco’s management uses financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases, impact to cost of sales from purchase accounting adjustments to inventory, payroll tax on stock option exercises, compensation expense related to acquisitions and investments, in-process research and development, amortization of purchased intangible assets, (gain) loss on publicly traded equity securities and the income tax effects of the foregoing. Cisco’s management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Cisco.

Cisco further believes that where the adjustments used in calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share are based on specific, identified amounts that impact different line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (including cost of sales, gross margin, operating expenses (including research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses), operating income, other income, net, interest and other income, net, income before provision for income taxes, and provision for income taxes) that it is useful to investors to understand how these specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are affected by these adjustments. For additional information on the items excluded by Cisco from one or more of its non-GAAP financial measures, and for additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures, we refer you to the Form 8-K regarding this release furnished today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
