Q3 2019 Overview

We ended the third quarter at $1,133 million in revenue, slightly belowmid-point of guidance.Non-GAAP gross margin was strong at 61.1%, higher than our guidance range. These results, along with prudent expense management, drovenon-GAAP earnings per share of $0.48, at thehigh-end of our forecast.

Looking at our revenue by vertical, on a year-over-year basis, Cloud increased 6% and Enterprise increased 8%, while Service Provider declined 17%. The lower thanmid-point revenue result was due to greater than anticipated Service Provider weakness.

On a sequential basis, Enterprise increased 10%, Service Provider increased 1% and Cloud was down 5%.

From a technology perspective, Routing decreased 18% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. Switching increased 9% year-over-year and 12% sequentially. Security increased 22% year-over-year and 16% sequentially. Our Services business increased 1% year-over-year and was flat sequentially.

Software revenue increased 13% year-over-year and was approximately 10% of total revenue.

In reviewing our top 10 customers for the quarter, three were Cloud, six were Service Provider, and one was an Enterprise.

Product deferred revenue was $129 million, down 3% year-over-year due to the timing of the delivery of contractual commitments.

Non-GAAP operating expenses were flat year-over-year and up 1% sequentially.

Cash flow from operations was $185 million for the quarter. We paid $65 million in dividends, reflecting a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share. The accelerated share repurchase program (“ASR”) we entered into in Q2’19 settled on August 13, 2019, and we also repurchased an additional $50 million of shares in the open market.

Total cash, cash equivalents, and investments at the end of the third quarter of 2019 was $2.8 billion.

• GAAP product gross margin: 59.1%, down 1.6 points from the prior year and up 3.1 points from last quarter.

Year-over-year, the decrease in GAAP product gross margin was primarily due to higher intangible amortization associated with the acquisition of Mist Systems, and to a lesser extent, China tariffs.

The sequential increase in GAAP product gross margin was primarily due to product and customer mix and aone-timewrite-off charge in Q2’19.

• Non-GAAP product gross margin: 60.3%, down 1.1 points from the prior year and up 2.8 points from last quarter.

• GAAP tax rate: 15.9% provision, compared to 47.3% benefit in the prior year and 40.6% provision, last quarter.

The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate, on a GAAP basis, was due to discrete benefits in the prior year of approximately $100 million, partially offset by structural changes in 2019, which impacted the taxation of the geographic mix of earnings.

The decrease in the effective tax rate in Q3 compared to Q2, was primarily driven by the benefit of discrete items including a reduction of income tax reserves, partially offset by the write down of deferred tax assets in the prior quarter.

• Non-GAAP tax rate: 19.0%, compared to 17.0% in in the prior year and 19.5% last quarter.

Cash Flow

• Cash flow from operations:$185 million, down $22 million year-over-year and up $96 million sequentially.

The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower cash collections, partially offset by lower payments to suppliers.

The sequential increase was primarily due to lower payments to suppliers and lower cash tax payments, partially offset by higher payments related to variable compensation.

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)

Headcount

• Ending headcount for Q3’19 was 9,283, a decrease of 28 employees year-over-year and increase of 288 sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was primarily a result of outsourcing IT services to IBM in Q2’19, partially offset by the acquisition of Mist Systems in Q2’19. The sequential increase was primarily a result of additional hires in ourgo-to-market and R&D organizations.

Outlook

These metrics are provided on anon-GAAP basis, except for revenue and share count.Non-GAAP earnings per share is on a fully diluted basis. The outlook assumes that the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to other currencies will remain relatively stable at current levels.

Our revenue outlook shows a modest return to year-over-year growth at themid-point. However, it is lower than previously expected due to continued business challenges at some of our largest Service Provider customers, lingering impacts from our sales force transformation and macro-economic uncertainty.

We remain confident in our position in the markets we serve, and in our relationships with our customers.

Our Q4’19non-GAAP gross margin guidance reflects the recent increase in China tariffs, which is offset partially by the expected increase in revenue. We continue to undertake specific efforts to improve our gross margin. These efforts include value engineering, optimizing our supply chain and Service business, pricing management and increasing software and solution sales.

7

We expect a Q4’19non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 17% due to the anticipated reduction in India’s corporate tax rate.

Despite the lower than expected revenue outlook, we continue to manage costs prudently, and still expect to achieve thelow-end of our$1.70-$1.80 earnings range for the full-year 2019.

We remain committed to shareholder return and we are confident in our long-term growth prospects. To that end, our Board of Directors has approved an additional $1.0 billion of share repurchase authorization, which brings our current authorization to $1.9 billion. In addition, we intend to enter into an accelerated share repurchase program for $200 million in Q4’19. We expect to be opportunistic on future capital return.

Our Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share to be paid on December 23, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 2, 2019.

Our guidance for the quarter ending December 31, 2019 is as follows:

• Revenue will be approximately $1,185 million, plus or minus $30 million.

• Non-GAAP gross margin will be approximately 61.0%, plus or minus 1%.

• Non-GAAP operating expenses will be approximately $485 million, plus or minus $5 million.

• Non-GAAP operating margin will be approximately 20.1% at themid-point of revenue guidance.

• Non-GAAP tax rate will be approximately 17%.

• Non-GAAP net income per share will be approximately $0.57, plus or minus $0.03. This assumes a share count of approximately 340 million.

Juniper Networks undertakes no obligation to update the information made in this document or the related conference call in the event facts or circumstances subsequently change after the date of this document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This CFO Commentary contains references to the followingnon-GAAP financial measures: gross margin; product gross margin; service gross margin; product gross margin as a percentage of product revenue; service gross margin as a percentage of service revenue; gross margin as a percentage of revenue; research and development expense; sales and marketing expense; general and administrative expense; operating expense; operating expense as a percentage of revenue; operating income; operating margin; provision for income tax; income tax rate; net income; diluted earnings per share; diluted shares outstanding; and free cash flow. For important commentary on why Juniper Networks considersnon-GAAP information a useful view of the company’s financial results, please see the press release furnished with our Form8-K filed today with the SEC. With respect to future financial guidance provided on anon-GAAP basis, we have excluded estimates for amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, acquisition and strategic investment related charges, restructuring benefits or charges, impairment charges, strategic partnership-related charges, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, supplier component remediation charges and recoveries, gain or loss on equity investments, loss on extinguishment of debt, retroactive impact of certain tax settlements, significant effects of tax legislation and judicial or administrative interpretation of tax regulations, including the impact of income tax reform,non-recurring income tax adjustments, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the income tax effect ofnon-GAAP exclusions, and do not include the impact of further tariffs and the

9

impact of any future acquisitions, divestitures, or joint ventures that may occur in the applicable period. These measures are not presented in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. In addition, these measures may be different fromnon-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. Thenon-GAAP financial measures used in this CFO Commentary should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use ofnon-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future.

In the second quarter of 2019, we adopted a full-year projected tax rate in our computation of thenon-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the annual reporting periods. In projecting our full-yearnon-GAAP tax rate, we utilize a full-year financial projection that excludes the impact of stock options and the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. The projected rate considers other factors such as changes to our current operating structure, existing tax positions in various jurisdictions, the effect of key tax legislation, significant tax matters, and the othernon-GAAP financial measures noted above, to the extent they are applicable to the full-year financial projection. For fiscal year 2019, our projectednon-GAAP tax rate is 19.0% after including the impact of our acquisition of Mist Systems, Inc, which did not have a significant impact to our tax rate. Our projected tax rate onnon-GAAP income may be adjusted during the year to account for events or trends that we believe materially impact the projected annual rate including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in the geographic mix of earnings and other significant events.

A reconciliation ofnon-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges which are excluded from thesenon-GAAP measures. For example, share-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company’s future hiring needs, and restructuring actions, the type and volume of equity awards necessary for such future hiring, and the price at which the Company’s stock will trade in those future periods. Amortization of intangible assets is significantly impacted by the timing and size of any future acquisitions. The items that are being excluded are difficult to predict and a reconciliation could result in disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading. Material changes to any one of these items could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results. Certain exclusions, such as amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses, are generally incurred each quarter, but the amounts have historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
