F5 Networks, Inc. (FFIV) Tops Q2 EPS by 2c

F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV) reported Q2 EPS of $1.27, $0.02 better than the analyst estimate of $1.25. Revenue for the quarter came in at $420 million versus the consensus estimate of $414.37 million.

There were very few surprises in the second quarter of fiscal 2014," said John McAdam, F5 president and chief executive officer. "During the quarter, strong demand for our software-defined application services resulted in 22 percent year-over-year product revenue growth. Increasing revenue from the sale of software modules, particularly our Security modules, was driven in part by a growing percentage of customers purchasing our 'Better' and 'Best' offerings. Revenue by geographic region met or exceeded our expectations, with solid year-over-year growth in the Americas, EMEA and Japan. Sales of our TMOS-based products into vertical markets were also in line with historical trends and our internal expectations for the quarter, and our Traffix Diameter Signaling and Routing products continued to gain traction with key wins at several large service providers.

"Looking out to the second half of fiscal 2014, we believe we can continue to build on the momentum we generated in the first two quarters of the year," McAdam said.
