Patrick Lo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NETGEAR, commented, “We had a solid revenue quarter and we believe we made market share gains in all three regions. We continued to see steady growth in the adoption of broadband Internet services in our target customer base. Coupled with our differentiated product offerings and focused channel programs, we believe we continued to outgrow the market in Q4 and the entire year of 2007. We continued to make progress in expanding our channel reach. We increased our retail footprint by 20% in Q4 2007 to over 22,000 retail outlets worldwide, and increased the number of active Value Added Resellers by almost 10% to close to 40,000. In the fourth quarter our net revenue from service providers was approximately 23% of total net revenue, as compared to 22% in the third quarter of 2007, and 28% in the fourth quarter of 2006. We experienced unexpected higher costs of air freight in the fourth quarter, which contributed to the underperformance against our operating margin target. We are in the process of rebidding the air freight service and expect to bring the costs in line in coming quarters.”

Christine Gorjanc, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, said, “We ended the fourth quarter of 2007 with net inventory at $83.0 million, compared to $79.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2007, and $77.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006. Ending inventory turns were 6.5, compared to 6.5 at the end of the third quarter of 2007, and 5.7 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 73 in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to 66 days in the third quarter of 2007 and 66 days in the fourth quarter of 2006. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $205.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $177.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2007, and $197.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006. Deferred revenue decreased to $7.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to deferred revenue of $7.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2007, and $8.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006.”

Looking forward, Mr. Lo added, “Our focus remains on executing our strategy, which is to continuously drive growth through expansion in product line-up, channel penetration, new geographies and profitably expanding our global market share. Our leadership in innovation continued to be recognized by the industry and our customers through a series of awards. We received 4 awards at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2008. PC World Magazine gave our Digital Entertainer HD the Top 10 Most Innovative Product Award. We were awarded the “Best of Innovation in Home Networking” by CES. We were selected by Laptop Magazine as the “Best of Show in WiFi/Home Networking”. And we were selected by Popular Mechanics Magazine as the Editor’s Choice for CES. The initial market reception of our new RangeMAX N line of WiFi products based on the latest Metamaterial multi antenna technology is very encouraging. We are optimistic that 2008 will be another growth year for the industry and particularly for NETGEAR. We expect normal seasonality in Q1 2008. Specifically, we expect first quarter net revenue to be approximately $201 million to $205 million, with non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 11% to 12%. Finally, we expect the non-GAAP effective tax rate to be approximately 39%.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, NETGEAR uses non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income and income per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain expenses and tax benefits we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of NETGEAR’s underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or diluted net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
