The effective tax rate for the quarter ended January 29, 2022 was lower than the effective tax rate for the quarter ended January 30, 2021, primarily due to an increased tax benefit associated with stock compensation.

Ciena’s future income tax provisions and deferred tax balances may be affected by the amount of pre-tax income, the jurisdictions where it is earned, the existence and ability to utilize tax attributes and changes in tax laws and business reorganizations. Ciena continues to monitor these items and will adopt strategies to address their impact as appropriate.
