EXHIBIT 99.2
The following is the transcript of a video of the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer discussing the results of operations for the Registrant’s fiscal second quarter ended January 23, 2010.
Hello, I am Frank Calderoni, Cisco’s Chief Financial Officer.
Today, we announced very strong results for the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010. We exceeded our expectations with $9.8 billion in net sales this quarter representing 8% year over year growth and marking the third quarter of sequentially positive revenue growth.
On a GAAP basis, net income was $1.9 billion or $0.32 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $2.3 billion and earnings of $0.40 per share. This represents a 25% year over year increase in non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. We are quite pleased with the profitability we continue to return to investors driven by strength across our portfolio.
Today’s results demonstrate the continued successful execution of our strategy with the network becoming the platform for all forms of communications and IT.
We saw continuing good growth in our business validating our portfolio approach in strategically investing in our market adjacencies and core business with an intense focus on profitability and operational execution.
With $39.6 billion in total cash and investments and $2.5 billion in operating cash flow, we exit this quarter with a very compelling financial position and remain very confident in our strategic position in the industry.
Thank you.
