During the quarter, Extreme Networks acquired the software assets of Soapstone Networks that provides provisioning and service assurance for carrier Ethernet networks. It also partnered with security software provider McAfee to provide secure networking for organizations.
Bob L. Corey, CFO, acting president and CEO at Extreme Networks, said: "Last week we completed a reorganization to streamline operations, simplify the organization and reduce recurring costs. The effect of this action was to lower our quarterly breakeven to less than $70m in revenue and reduce quarterly operating expenses by approximately $2.5m. Our supply chain was constrained during Q1 impacting our ability to deliver product. We are disappointed with our performance in Q1 and are actively improving availability from our supply chain to meet customer demand for our products in Q2."
