1 A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“While we performed well in Asia Pacific and the U.S. enterprise sector, our first quarter results were affected primarily by macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges in Latin America and EMEA, a shortfall in U.S service provider business, and to a lesser extent some inventory shortages and product transition issues," said Ken Xie, founder, president and chief executive officer.  "Given the macro uncertainty, we are moving forward cautiously yet confidently, as the network security market remains healthy and Fortinet's competitive position and product advantage remains strong."
