(BSNS WIRE) Redback Networks Inc. Announces Pro Forma Profitability and Rec
Redback Networks Inc. Announces Pro Forma Profitability and Record Third
Quarter Revenue


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2000--

Q3 2000 Net Revenues of $80.6 Million and 65% Growth Over Q2 2000;
Over 50% of Revenue From New Products

Redback Networks, Inc., (Nasdaq:RBAK), a leading provider of
advanced networking solutions, today reported record revenues for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, as well as its first profit on a pro
forma basis since closing its merger with Siara Systems.
Net revenues for the third quarter of 2000 were $80.6 million,
compared with $20.6 million for the same period in the prior year, an
increase of 291 percent. Pro forma net income for the third quarter of
2000 was $3.2 million or $0.02 per share diluted, which excludes
acquisition-related and stock compensation charges. This compares to
the third quarter of 1999 pro forma net loss of $569,000 or $(0.01)
per share. Before pro forma adjustments, net loss for the third
quarter of 2000 was $308.1 million or $(2.50) per share compared to a
net loss of $1.6 million or $(0.02) per share for the same period in
the prior year.
"Redback achieved some major milestones during the third quarter,"
said Vivek Ragavan, chief executive officer and president of Redback.
"The Company delivered a profitable quarter and achieved record
revenue, with over 50% of that revenue coming from new products."
Another key milestone was the Company's acquisition of Abatis Systems
of Vancouver, Canada. A leading developer of systems for enabling the
scalable deployment of value-added services, Abatis' offerings
immediately expand Redback's broadband solution. "Redback acquired
Abatis for its powerful set of IP service management solutions and the
benefits they will provide for customers as they extend their service
offerings."
"The Company continued its momentum in the metropolitan optical
networking market with full production shipments of the SmartEdge
800," said Ragavan. The platform has been well received by Redback
customers and prospects, and the Company continues to receive
multi-million dollar orders from both carriers and service providers,
as well as a significant number of system trials globally. "In the
subscriber management market, Redback was buoyed by strong demand
across our complete line of SMS platforms," said Ragavan, "with
particular demand and resulting deployments for the SMS 10000."
