Management Commentary:

"Our first quarter performance was exceptionally strong in what is typically a soft quarter for our industry. We are benefitting from the continued investment cycle in 100G and network convergence. The favorable economics of our PIC-based architectures and the operational benefits of super-channels positions us as the industry recognized leader in the optical market," said Tom Fallon, Chief Executive Officer. "I remain optimistic about our short-, intermediate- and long-term opportunity. Our focus this year remains on winning footprint, gaining market share, and servicing customers. We believe the continued growth of our business in long-haul, combined with product investments in adjacent markets, is the best way for us to provide long-term shareholder value."

(2) Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in 
     cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as      
     liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the      
     instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt 
     borrowing rate. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes, Infinera is required to
     amortize as a debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the   
     conversion option that was recorded in equity as interest expense on   
     its $150 million 1.75% convertible debt issuance in May 2013 over the  
     term of the notes. These amounts have been adjusted in arriving at     
     Infinera's non-GAAP results because management believes that this non- 
     cash expense is not indicative of ongoing operating performance and    
     provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business         
     performance.

 (1) Amounts reflect non-GAAP results. Non-GAAP adjustments include non-cash
     stock-based compensation expense.                                      
 (2) Infinera calculates non-GAAP inventory turns as annualized non-GAAP    
     cost of revenue before adjustments for non-cash stock-based            
     compensation expense divided by the average inventory for the quarter.
