Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Juniper Networks, Inc. (“Juniper Networks” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010, or any future period. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company owned a 60 percent interest in a joint venture with Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (“NSN”). Given the Company’s majority ownership interest in the joint venture, the accounts of the joint venture have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company, and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded for the noncontrolling investor’s interests in the net assets and operations of the joint venture.
Reclassifications
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company reclassified certain selling and marketing costs that were previously reported as cost of service revenues as sales and marketing expense. Accordingly, $6.6 million of costs reported in the first quarter of 2009 have been reclassified from cost of service revenues to sales and marketing expense to conform to the current period’s presentation. The reclassification did not impact the Company’s previously reported net revenues, segment results, operating income, net income, or earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Policy Changes
Revenue Recognition
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 changes the requirements for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable to be based on the relative selling price. Concurrently with issuing ASU 2009-13, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements” (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 excludes software that is contained on a tangible product from the scope of software revenue guidance if the software component and the non-software component function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality. The Company early adopted these standards on a prospective basis as of the beginning of fiscal 2010 for new and materially modified arrangements originating after December 31, 2009. As a result, net revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were approximately $25 million higher than the net revenues that would have been recorded under the previous accounting rules. The increase in revenues was due to recognition of revenue for products booked and shipped during the first quarter of 2010, that contained undelivered elements for which the Company was unable to demonstrate fair value pursuant to the previous standards. Under the new standards the Company allocates the total arrangement consideration to each separable element of an arrangement based upon the relative selling price of each element. Arrangement consideration allocated to undelivered elements is deferred until delivery.
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met:
    Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. The Company generally relies upon sales contracts, or agreements, and customer purchase orders to determine the existence of an arrangement.
    Delivery has occurred. The Company uses shipping terms and related documents, or written evidence of customer acceptance, when applicable, to verify delivery or performance. In instances where the Company has outstanding obligations related to product delivery or the final acceptance of the product, revenue is deferred until all the delivery and acceptance criteria have been met.
    Sales price is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
    Collectability is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by our credit checks and the customer’s payment history. The Company records accounts receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated customer returns and pricing credits.
For fiscal 2010 and future periods, pursuant to the guidance of ASU 2009-13, when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements and software and non-software components function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company then recognizes revenue on each deliverable in accordance with its policies for product and service revenue recognition. VSOE of fair value is based on the price charged when the element is sold separately. In determining VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling prices fall within a reasonable range based on historical discounting trends for specific products and services. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating largely interchangeable competitor products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly situated customers. However, as the Company’s products contain a significant element of proprietary technology and its solutions offer substantially different features and functionality, the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality typically cannot be obtained. Additionally, as the Company is unable to reliably determine what competitors products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis, the Company is not typically able to determine TPE. The best estimate of selling price is established considering multiple factors including, but not limited to pricing practices in different geographies and through different sales channels, gross margin objectives, internal costs, competitor pricing strategies, and industry technology lifecycles.
In multiple element arrangements where more-than-incidental software deliverables are included, revenue is allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the non-software deliverables and to the software deliverables as a group using the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy. If the arrangement contains more than one software deliverable, the arrangement consideration allocated to the software deliverables as a group is then allocated to each software deliverable using the guidance for recognizing software revenue, as amended.
The Company limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services, future performance obligation, or subject to customer-specific return or refund privileges. The Company evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has stand-alone value and there are no customer-negotiated refunds or return rights for the delivered elements. If the arrangement includes a customer-negotiated refund or return right relative to the delivered item, and the delivery and performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control, the delivered element constitutes a separate unit of accounting. In circumstances when the aforementioned criteria are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered elements, and the allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition is determined for the combined unit as a single unit. Allocation of the consideration is determined at arrangement inception on the basis of each unit’s relative selling price. The new standards do not generally change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the effect of adopting these standards on future financial periods as the impact will vary depending on the nature and volume of new or materially modified deals in any given period.
For transactions entered into prior to the first quarter of 2010, revenues for arrangements with multiple elements, such as sales of products that include services, are allocated to each element using the residual method based on the VSOE of fair value of the undelivered items pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985-605, Software – Revenue Recognition. Under the residual method, the amount of revenue allocated to delivered elements equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of any undelivered elements. If VSOE of fair value of one or more undelivered items does not exist, revenue is deferred and recognized at the earlier of: (i) delivery of those elements or (ii) when fair value can be established unless maintenance is the only undelivered element, in which case, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the contractual support period.
The Company accounts for multiple agreements with a single customer as one arrangement if the contractual terms and/or substance of those agreements indicate that they may be so closely related that they are, in effect, parts of a single arrangement. The Company’s ability to recognize revenue in the future may be affected if actual selling prices are significantly less than fair value. In addition, the Company’s ability to recognize revenue in the future could be impacted by conditions imposed by its customers.
For sales to direct end-users, value-added resellers, and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) partners, the Company recognizes product revenue upon transfer of title and risk of loss, which is generally upon shipment. It is the Company’s practice to identify an end-user prior to shipment to a value-added reseller or to an OEM partner. For the Company’s end-users and value-added resellers, there are no significant obligations for future performance such as rights of return or pricing credits. A portion of the Company’s sales is made through distributors under agreements allowing for pricing credits or rights of return. Product revenue on sales made through these distributors is recognized upon sell-through as reported by the distributors to the Company. Deferred revenue on shipments to distributors reflects the effects of distributor pricing credits and the amount of gross margin expected to be realized upon sell-through. Deferred revenue is recorded net of the related product costs of revenue.
The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments, such as rebates and price protection, in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns and price protection credits, specific criteria included in rebate agreements, and other factors known at the time. Should actual product returns or pricing adjustments differ from estimates, additional reductions to revenue may be required. In addition, the Company reports revenues net of sales taxes. Service revenues include revenue from maintenance, training, and professional services. Maintenance is offered under renewable contracts. Revenue from maintenance service contracts is deferred and is recognized ratably over the contractual support period, which is generally one to three years. Revenue from training and professional services is recognized as the services are completed or ratably over the contractual period, which is generally one year or less.
The Company sells certain interests in accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis as part of a customer financing arrangement primarily with one major financing company. Cash received under this arrangement in advance of revenue recognition is recorded as short-term debt.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Topic 820 — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”), which provides additional fair value measurement disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. Except for the requirement to disclose purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, the disclosure and clarification requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements on a gross basis is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2010-06 relates to disclosure requirements only and as such does not impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, Topic 810 — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2009-17”), which incorporated the revised accounting guidance of variable interest entities into FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. Initially issued by the FASB in June 2009, the revised guidance eliminates the qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPE”) concept, amends the provisions on determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and would require consolidation, and requires additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for a company’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2009-17 during the first quarter of 2010 did not impact its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“ASU 2009-16”), which incorporated the revised accounting guidance for the transfers of financial assets into FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. Initially issued by the FASB in June 2009, the revised guidance eliminates the concept of QSPE, removes the scope exception for QSPE when applying the accounting guidance related to variable interest entities, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. This accounting guidance is effective for a company’s first annual and interim reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. This accounting guidance is applied to transfers of financial assets occurring on or after the effective date. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2009-16 during the first quarter of 2010 did not impact its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Note 3. Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for that period. Diluted net income per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance share awards (“PSAs”).
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Juniper Networks (in millions, except per share amounts):

Employee stock awards covering approximately 19.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. As a result of the net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, approximately 69.4 million common stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company had 54 and 52 investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. The gross unrealized losses related to these investments were due to changes in interest rates. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. For fixed income securities that have unrealized losses, the Company has determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments, and (ii) it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. The Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. The Company aggregates its investments by category and length of time the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position to facilitate its evaluation.
Privately-Held Equity Investments
The Company’s minority equity investments in privately-held companies are carried at cost, as the Company does not have a controlling interest and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies. The Company adjusts its privately-held equity investments for any impairment if the fair value exceeds the carrying value of the respective assets.
As of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the carrying values of the Company’s minority equity investments in privately-held companies of $18.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively, were included in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, the Company invested $4.8 million and nil in privately held companies, respectively. The Company recognized other-than-temporary impairment loss of nil and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, in connection with its minority equity investments in privately-held companies. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had a minority equity investment in a privately-held company that was acquired by a publicly-traded company for which the Company received a cash payment of $1.0 million and $1.0 million in common stock of the acquiring company, which is classified as an available-for-sale investment.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of escrow accounts required by certain acquisitions completed in 2005, the India Gratuity Trust, which covers statutory severance obligations in the event of termination of the Company’s India employees who have provided five or more years of continuous service, and the Directors & Officers (“D&O”) indemnification trust. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company increased its restricted cash by $1.6 million for the Israel Retirement Trust, which was established in the first quarter of 2010 to satisfy statutory severance obligations in the event of termination of the Company’s Israeli employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had immaterial restricted cash distributions.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. These inputs are valued using market based approaches.
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. These inputs, if any, are valued using internal financial models.

The privately-held equity investments in the preceding tables, which are normally carried at cost, were measured at fair value due to events and circumstances that the Company identified as significantly impacting the fair value of the investments during the quarter. The Company measured the fair value of these privately-held equity investments using an analysis of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including recent financing activities and their capital structure. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009, and classified the investment as a Level 3 asset due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The Company had no impairment charges against its privately-held equity investments during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Restructuring Liabilities
In 2009, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (the “2009 Restructuring Plan”) in an effort to better align its business operations with the current market and macroeconomic conditions. The 2009 Restructuring Plan included a worldwide workforce reduction and restructuring of certain business functions and the reduction of facilities. The Company incurred restructuring charges of $8.1 million and paid $4.1 million for severance and facilities related charges associated with the 2009 Restructuring Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded $4.2 million in restructuring charges and paid $2.5 million for severance related charges associated with the 2009 Restructuring Plan.

Financing Arrangements
Financing Arrangements
Note 8. Financing Arrangements
The Company has customer financing arrangements to sell its accounts receivable to a major third-party financing provider. The program does not and is not intended to affect the timing of revenue recognition because the Company only recognizes revenue upon sell-through. Under the financing arrangements, proceeds from the financing provider are due to the Company 30 days from the sale of the receivable. In these transactions with the financing provider, the Company has surrendered control over the transferred assets. The accounts receivable have been isolated from the Company and put beyond the reach of creditors, even in the event of bankruptcy. The Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through obligations or rights to redeem, transfer, or repurchase the receivables after they have been transferred.
Pursuant to the financing arrangements for the sale of receivables, the Company sold net receivables of $135.6 million and $91.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, the Company received cash proceeds of $138.9 million and $95.6 million, respectively, from the financing provider.

The portion of the receivable financed that has not been recognized as revenue is accounted for as a financing arrangement and is included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the estimated amounts of cash received from the financing provider that has not been recognized as revenue from distributors were $54.7 million and $52.6 million, respectively.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments
Note 9. Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivatives partially to offset its market exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies and does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses foreign currency forward or option contracts to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency transactions relating to cost of services and operating expenses. The derivatives are intended to protect the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the Company’s planned cost of services and operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. Execution of these cash flow hedge derivatives typically occurs every month with maturities of less than one year. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and upon occurrence of the forecasted transaction, is subsequently reclassified into the cost of services or operating expense line item to which the hedged transaction relates. The Company records any ineffectiveness of the hedging instruments, which was immaterial during the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, in interest and other income, net, on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities. All amounts within other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be reclassified into income within the next 12 months.
The total fair value of the Company’s derivative assets located in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The total fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities located in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, and 2009, was $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
The Company recognized a loss of $1.5 million and $5.7 million in other comprehensive income for the effective portion of its derivative instruments as of March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The amount of loss reclassified from other comprehensive loss to the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $0.7 million and $2.7 million as of March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The ineffective portion of the Company’s derivative instruments recognized in its condensed consolidated statements of operations was immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009.
Non-Designated Hedges
The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate variability in gains and losses generated from the re-measurement of certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These derivatives do not qualify for special hedge accounting treatment. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes recorded in interest and other income, net. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. Cash flows from such derivatives are classified as operating activities. The derivatives have maturities of approximately two months.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s top three outstanding derivative positions by currency were as follows (in millions):

Stock Repurchase Activities
In February 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a new stock repurchase program (the “2010 Stock Repurchase Program”) which authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common stock. This new authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program approved by the Board in March 2008 (the “2008 Stock Repurchase Program”), which also enabled the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s common stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 2.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $27.04 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $74.4 million under the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2010, the 2008 and 2010 Stock Repurchase Programs had remaining aggregate authorized funds of $1,244.2 million.
In addition to repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase programs, the Company repurchased common stock from its employees in connection with net issuance of shares to satisfy its tax withholding obligations for the vesting of certain RSUs and PSAs. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $25.47 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1.8 million in connection with the net issuances. The Company repurchased an immaterial amount of common stock from its employees in connection with net issuance of shares, during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
All shares of common stock that have been repurchased under the Company’s stock repurchase programs and from its employees in connection with net issuances have been retired. Future share repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase programs will be subject to a review of the circumstances in place at that time and will be made from time to time in private transactions or open market purchases as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. These programs may be discontinued at any time.

Share-Based Compensation Plans
The Company’s share-based compensation plans include the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan (the “1996 Plan”), as well as various equity incentive plans assumed through acquisitions. Under these plans the Company has granted (or in the case of acquired plans, assumed) stock options, and in certain plans RSUs and PSAs. In addition, the Company’s 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2008 Purchase Plan”) permits eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a 15% discount to the offering price (as determined in the 2008 Plan) through periodic payroll deductions of up to 10% of base compensation, subject to individual purchase limits of 6,000 shares in any twelve-month period or $25,000 worth of stock, determined at the fair market value of the shares at the time the stock purchase option is granted, in one calendar year.

Additionally, the Company granted PSAs covering approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock under the 2006 Plan. The number of shares subject to PSAs granted represents the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the award over its full term.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2008 Purchase Plan is implemented in a series of offering periods, each six months in duration, or a shorter period as determined by the Board. Employees purchased approximately 1.0 million and nil shares of common stock through the 2008 Purchase Plan at an average price of $21.11 and nil per share during the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had reserved an aggregate of approximately 90.3 million shares of common stock for future issuance under its equity incentive plans and the 2008 Purchase Plan.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
The Company determines the fair value of its stock options utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield. The expected volatility is based on the implied volatility of market-traded options on the Company’s common stock, adjusted for other relevant factors including historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the Company’s stock options. The expected life of a stock option award is based on historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted to employees, as well as the potential effect from stock options that had not been exercised at the time. Since 2006, the Company has granted stock option awards that have a maximum contractual life of seven years from the date of grant. Prior to 2006, stock option awards generally had a ten-year contractual life from the date of grant.
The Company determines the fair value of its RSUs and PSAs based upon the fair market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.
The assumptions used and the resulting estimates of fair value for employee stock options and the employee stock purchase plan during the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009 were:
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,

The Company expenses the cost of its stock options, on a straight line basis, over the vesting period. The Company expenses the cost of its RSUs ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse. In addition, the Company estimates share-based compensation expense for its PSAs based on the vesting criteria and only recognizes expense for the portions of such awards for which annual targets have been set. The weighted-average fair value per share of RSUs and PSAs granted during these periods were:

Share-based compensation expense of $33.6 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009 included $18.8 million pertaining to employee stock options, $3.9 million pertaining to issuances through the employee stock purchase plan, and $10.8 million pertaining to RSU and PSA grants.
As of March 31, 2010, approximately $146.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.7 years while approximately $120.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested RSUs and unvested PSAs will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.
401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a savings and retirement plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Employees meeting the eligibility requirements, as defined, may contribute up to the statutory limits of the year. The Company has matched employee contributions since January 1, 2001, currently matching 25% of all eligible employee contributions. All matching contributions vest immediately. The Company’s matching contributions to the plan totaled $4.2 million and $3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation (“NQDC”) plan is an unfunded and unsecured deferred compensation arrangement. Under the NQDC plan, officers and other senior employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more investment funds. The NQDC plan assets are included within investments, and offsetting obligations are included within accrued compensation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The investments are considered trading securities and are reported at fair value. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to these investments are recorded in interest and other income, net, and the offsetting compensation expense are recorded as operating expenses in the condensed consolidated results of operations. The deferred compensation liability under the NQDC plan was approximately $6.1 million and $4.7 million as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Segments
Segments
Note 12. Segments
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources and assesses performance based on financial information by the Company’s business groups. The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments: Infrastructure and Service Layer Technologies (“SLT”). The Infrastructure segment includes products from the E-, M-, MX-, and T-series router product families, EX-series switching products, as well as the circuit-to-packet products. The SLT segment consists primarily of Firewall virtual private network (“Firewall”) systems and appliances, SRX service gateways, secure socket layer (“SSL”) virtual private network (“VPN”) appliances, intrusion detection and prevention (“IDP”) appliances, the J-series router product family and wide area network (“WAN”) optimization platforms.
The primary financial measure used by the CODM in assessing performance of the segments is segment operating income, which includes certain cost of revenues, research and development (“R&D”) expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. The CODM does not allocate certain miscellaneous expenses to its segments even though such expenses are included in the Company’s management operating income.
For arrangements with both Infrastructure and SLT products and services, revenue is attributed to the segment based on the underlying purchase order, contract, or sell-through report. Direct costs and operating expenses, such as standard costs, R&D, and product marketing expenses, are generally applied to each segment. Indirect costs, such as manufacturing overhead and other cost of revenues, are allocated based on standard costs. Indirect operating expenses, such as sales, marketing, business development, and G&A expenses are generally allocated to each segment based on factors including headcount, usage, and revenue. The CODM does not allocate share-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring and impairment charges, gains or losses on equity investments, other net income and expense, income taxes, or certain other charges to the segments.
The following table summarizes financial information for each segment used by the CODM (in millions):

Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”) accounted for 11.2% and 10.0% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
The Company tracks assets by physical location. The majority of the Company’s assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents and investments, as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, were attributable to U.S. operations. As of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, property and equipment, held in the U.S. as a percentage of total property and equipment was 80% and 81%, respectively. Although management reviews asset information on a corporate level and allocates depreciation expense by segment, the CODM does not review asset information on a segment basis.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Note 13. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a tax benefit of $2.9 million, or an effective tax benefit rate of 1.8%, and a tax provision of $85.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 105%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010, differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a $54.1 million income tax benefit resulting from a change in the Company’s estimate of unrecognized tax benefits related to share-based compensation. This change in estimate was a result of the taxpayer favorable ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Court”) in Xilinx Inc. v. Commissioner discussed below. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009, differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a $61.8 million charge, which resulted from changes in California income tax laws enacted during the Company’s first quarter of 2009, partially offset by the benefit of the federal Research and Development credit. The tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009 were favorably impacted by the benefit of earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which are subject to lower tax rates.
On March 22, 2010, the Court overturned its May 27, 2009 decision in Xilinx v. Commissioner and affirmed the original U.S. Tax Court decision, which held in favor of the taxpayer. While Juniper Networks was not a named party to the case, the Court’s decision does eliminate the uncertainty regarding the benefit of the tax position taken by the Company in certain years prior to fiscal 2004 relative to the allocable transfer price of share-based compensation related to the Company’s intangible development costs. The Court’s decision affirms that the value of share-based compensation related to share-based compensation grants made prior to 2004 is not required to be included in cost sharing agreements between related parties. In light of the Court’s decision, the Company has determined that tax benefit recognized under its prior tax position is more likely than not to be sustained.
The gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $72.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Interest and penalties for the three months ended March 31, 2010, decreased by approximately $5.9 million. The decrease in the gross unrecognized tax benefits and the accrued interest and penalties is primarily related to the change in estimate resulting from the Court’s decision in Xilinx v. Commissioner referenced above.
The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2004 through 2006 tax years. The Company is also subject to two separate ongoing examinations by the India tax authorities for the 2004 tax year and 2004 through 2008 tax years, respectively, and has received an inquiry from the Hong Kong tax authorities for the 2002 through 2008 tax years. Additionally, the Company has not reached a final resolution with the IRS on an adjustment it proposed for the 1999 and 2000 tax years. The Company is not aware of any other income tax examination by taxing authorities in any other major jurisdictions in which it files income tax returns as of March 31, 2010.
In 2009, as part of the on-going 2004 IRS audit, the Company received a proposed adjustment related to the license of acquired intangibles under an intercompany R&D cost sharing arrangement. In March 2009, the Company received an assessment from the Hong Kong tax authorities specifically related to an inquiry of the 2002 tax year. In December 2008, the Company received a proposed adjustment from the India tax authorities related to the 2004 tax year.
In July 2009, the India tax authorities commenced a separate investigation of our 2004 through 2008 tax returns and are disputing the Company’s determination of taxable income due to the cost basis of certain fixed assets. The Company accrued $4.6 million in penalties and interest in 2009 related to this matter. The Company understands that the India tax authorities may issue an initial assessment that is substantially higher than this amount. As a result, in accordance with the administrative and judiciary process in India, the Company may be required to make payments that are substantially higher than the amount accrued in order to ultimately settle this issue. The Company strongly believes that any assessment it may receive in excess of the amount accrued would be inconsistent with applicable India tax laws and intends to defend this position vigorously.
The Company is pursuing all available administrative procedures relative to the matters referenced above. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these proposed adjustments, and the ultimate resolution of these matters is unlikely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Although the Company believes a material effect is unlikely, there is a possibility that an adverse outcome of these matters could have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. For more information, please see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, under the heading “IRS Notices of Proposed Adjustments.”
The Company engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. It is likely that the Company may reach agreement on certain issues and, as a result, the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $1.5 million within the next 12 months. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments related to the remaining unrecognized tax liabilities due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.

Operating Leases
The Company leases its facilities under operating leases that expire at various times, the longest of which expires in November 2022. Future minimum payments under the non-cancelable operating leases, net of committed sublease income, totaled $302.1 million as of March 31, 2010. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009 was $14.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively.
Purchase Commitments
In order to reduce manufacturing lead times and ensure adequate component supply, contract manufacturers utilized by the Company place non-cancelable, non-returnable (“NCNR”) orders for components based on the Company’s build forecasts. As of March 31, 2010, there were NCNR component orders placed by the contract manufacturers with a value of $110.8 million. The contract manufacturers use the components to build products based on the Company’s forecasts and customer purchase orders received by the Company. Generally, the Company does not own the components and title to the products transfers from the contract manufacturers to the Company and immediately to the Company’s customers upon delivery at a designated shipment location. If the components remain unused or the products remain unsold for specified periods, the Company may incur carrying charges or obsolete materials charges for components that the contract manufacturers purchased to build products to meet the Company’s forecast or customer orders. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had accrued $28.2 million based on its estimate of such charges.
Tax Liabilities
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $97.7 million included in current and long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for unrecognized tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the Company may reach agreement on certain issues and, as a result, the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $1.5 million within the next 12 months. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments related to the additional $96.2 million in liability due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.
Other Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2010, other contractual obligations primarily consisted of $1.3 million of indemnity-related escrows, $19.1 million remaining balance for a data center hosting agreement that requires payments through the end of April 2013, and $7.7 million under a software subscription agreement that requires payments through the end of January 2011.
Guarantees
The Company enters into agreements with customers that contain indemnification provisions relating to potential situations where claims could be alleged that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. Other guarantees or indemnification arrangements include guarantees of product and service performance, guarantees related to third-party customer-financing arrangements, and standby letters of credit for certain lease facilities. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $32.1 million in guarantees and standby letters of credit and recorded a liability of $17.6 million related to a third-party customer-financing guarantee. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $34.0 million in guarantees and standby letters of credit along with a liability of $21.9 million related to a third-party customer-financing guarantee.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to legal claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, such as employment or intellectual property claims, including the matters described below. The outcome of any such matters is currently not determinable. Although the Company does not expect that any such legal claims or litigation will ultimately have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations, an adverse result in one or more of such matters could negatively affect the Company’s consolidated financial results in the period in which they occur.
Federal Securities Class Action
On July 14, 2006, and August 29, 2006, two purported class actions were filed in the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. On November 20, 2006, the Court consolidated the two actions as In re Juniper Networks, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. C06-04327-JW, and appointed the New York City Pension Funds as lead plaintiffs. The lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint on January 12, 2007, and filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint on April 9, 2007. The Amended Consolidated Complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by manipulating stock option grant dates to coincide with low stock prices and issuing false and misleading statements including, among others, incorrect financial statements due to the improper accounting of stock option grants. The Amended Consolidated Complaint asserts claims for violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Juniper Networks’ publicly-traded securities from July 12, 2001, through and including August 10, 2006. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages in an unspecified amount. On June 7, 2007, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims, and a hearing was held on September 10, 2007. On March 31, 2008, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The order dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ section 10(b) claim to the extent it was based on challenged statements made before July 14, 2001. The order also dismissed, with leave to amend, plaintiffs’ section 10(b) claim against Pradeep Sindhu. The order upheld all of plaintiffs’ remaining claims. Plaintiffs did not amend their complaint.
On September 25, 2009, the Court certified a plaintiff class consisting of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities from July 11, 2003 to August 10, 2006 inclusive, and were damaged thereby, including those who received or acquired Juniper Networks’ common stock issued pursuant to the registration statement on SEC Form S-4, dated March 10, 2004, for the Company’s merger with NetScreen Technologies Inc. and purchasers of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Notes due June 15, 2008 issued pursuant to a registration statement on SEC Form S-3 dated November 20, 2003. Excluded from the class are the defendants and the current and former officers and directors of the Company, their immediate families, their heirs, successors, or assigns and any entity controlled by any such person.
On February 5, 2010, the Company and the lead plaintiffs entered into an agreement in principle to settle the claims against the Company and each of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The settlement is contingent upon final approval by the Court. On April 12, 2010, the Court granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement and scheduled a fairness hearing for August 30, 2010 to consider whether to grant final approval of the settlement. Under the proposed settlement, the claims against the Company and its officers and directors will be dismissed with prejudice and released in exchange for a $169.0 million cash payment by the Company. The Company considers the proposed payment to be probable and reasonably estimable and, therefore, recorded the cash settlement amount as a pre-tax operating expense in its consolidated statement of operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Calamore Proxy Statement Action
On March 28, 2007, an action titled Jeanne M. Calamore v. Juniper Networks, Inc., et al., No. C-07-1772-JW, was filed by Jeanne M. Calamore in the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The complaint alleges that the proxy statement for the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders contained various false and misleading statements in that it failed to disclose stock option backdating information. As a result, the plaintiff seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, including seeking to invalidate the plan and all equity awards granted and grantable thereunder. On May 21, 2007, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, and the plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary injunction. On July 19, 2007, the Court issued an order denying the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction and dismissing the complaint in its entirety with leave to amend. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on August 27, 2007, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss on October 9, 2007. On August 13, 2008, the Court issued an order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss with prejudice, and entered final judgment in favor of the Company. On September 9, 2008, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The plaintiff’s appeal was fully briefed and the Court of Appeals heard oral argument on the appeal on October 7, 2009. On February 5, 2010, the Ninth Circuit issued a memorandum decision affirming the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice. On February 19, 2010, plaintiff filed a Petition for Rehearing and Suggestion for Rehearing En Banc and on March 24, 2010, the Ninth Circuit denied that petition.
IPO Allocation Case
In December 2001, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc., Royal Bank of Canada (Dain Rauscher Wessels), SG Cowen Securities Corporation, UBS Warburg LLC (Warburg Dillon Read LLC), Chase (Hambrecht & Quist LLC), J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Lehman Brothers, Inc., Salomon Smith Barney, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated (collectively, the “Underwriters”), Juniper Networks and certain of Juniper Networks’ officers. This action was brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock in its initial public offering in June 1999 and the Company’s secondary offering in September 1999.
Specifically, among other things, this complaint alleged that the prospectus pursuant to which shares of common stock were sold in the Company’s initial public offering and the Company’s subsequent secondary offering contained certain false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the practices of the Underwriters with respect to their allocation of shares of common stock in these offerings and their receipt of commissions from customers related to such allocations. Various plaintiffs have filed actions asserting similar allegations concerning the initial public offerings of approximately 300 other issuers. These various cases pending in the Southern District of New York have been coordinated for pretrial proceedings as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92. In April 2002, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in the action against the Company, alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The defendants in the coordinated proceeding filed motions to dismiss. In October 2002, the Company’s officers were dismissed from the case without prejudice pursuant to a stipulation. On February 19, 2003, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss, but declined to dismiss the claims against the Company.
In June 2004, a stipulation of settlement and release of claims against the issuer defendants, including the Company, was submitted to the Court for approval. On August 31, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement. In December 2006, the Appellate Court overturned the certification of classes in the six test cases that were selected by the underwriter defendants and plaintiffs in the coordinated proceedings (the action involving the Company is not one of the six test cases). Because class certification was a condition of the settlement, it was unlikely that the settlement would receive final Court approval. On June 25, 2007, the Court entered an order terminating the proposed settlement based upon a stipulation among the parties to the settlement. The plaintiffs have filed amended master allegations and amended complaints in the six focus cases. On March 26, 2008, the Court largely denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaints in the six test cases.
The parties have reached a global settlement of the litigation. On October 5, 2009, the Court entered an Opinion and Order granting final approval of the settlement. Under the settlement, the insurers are to pay the full amount of settlement share allocated to the Company, and the Company will bear no financial liability. The Company, as well as the officer and director defendants who were previously dismissed from the action pursuant to tolling agreements, will receive complete dismissals from the case. Certain objectors have appealed the Court’s October 5, 2009, final order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
IRS Notices of Proposed Adjustments
In 2007, the IRS opened an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax and employment tax returns for the 2004 fiscal year. Subsequently, the IRS extended their examination of the Company’s employment tax returns to include fiscal years 2005 and 2006. As of December 31, 2009, the IRS has not yet concluded its examinations of these returns. In September 2008, as part of its ongoing audit of the U.S. federal income tax return, the IRS issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) regarding the Company’s business credits. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to this proposed.
In July 2009, the Company received a NOPA from the IRS claiming that the Company owes additional taxes, plus interest and possible penalties, for the 2004 tax year based on a transfer pricing transaction related to the license of acquired intangibles under an intercompany R&D cost sharing arrangement. The asserted changes to the Company’s 2004 tax year would affect the Company’s income tax liabilities in tax years subsequent to 2003. Because of the NOPA, the estimated incremental tax liability would be approximately $807 million, excluding interest and penalties. The Company has filed a protest to the proposed deficiency with the IRS, which will cause the matter to be referred to the Appeals Division of the IRS. The Company strongly believes the IRS’ position with regard to this matter is inconsistent with applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the Company’s previously reported income tax provision for the year in question is appropriate. However, there can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor. Regardless of whether this matter is resolved in the Company’s favor, the final resolution of this matter could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and/or settle. While the Company believes it has provided adequately for this matter, there is a possibility that an adverse outcome of the matter could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
The Company has not reached a final resolution with the IRS on an adjustment the IRS proposed for the 1999 and 2000 tax years. The Company is also under routine examination by certain state and non-U.S. tax authorities. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to these audits.
Joint Venture
Joint Venture
Note 15. Joint Venture
In 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to form a joint venture to provide a combined carrier Ethernet-based solution with NSN. Since inception, the Company has had a 60 percent interest in the joint venture. Both NSN and Juniper Networks are entitled to appoint two board members to the Board of the joint venture. The Board shall consist of four board members at all times.
Given the Company’s majority ownership interest in the joint venture, the venture’s financial results have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company, and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded to reflect the noncontrolling investor’s interest in the venture’s results. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated, with the exception of the noncontrolling interest.

Stock Repurchases
Subsequent to March 31, 2010, through the filing of this report, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately $39.4 million through its 2008 Stock Repurchase Program at an average purchase price of $30.41 per share. The Company’s stock repurchase programs had aggregate remaining authorized funds of $1,204.8 million as of the report filing date. Purchases under the Company’s stock repurchase programs are subject to a review of the circumstances in place at the time and will be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. These programs may be discontinued at any time.
Business Acquisition
In April 2010, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ankeena Networks, Inc., a privately-held provider of new media infrastructure technology for a total consideration of less than $100 million in cash and assumed employee equity awards. The acquisition of Ankeena Networks was consummated on April 19, 2010.
