PART I 

ITEM 1. Business

Overview

At Juniper Networks, we design, develop, and sell products and services for high-performance networks, which combine scale 
and performance with agility and efficiency, so customers can build the best networks for their businesses. Our routing, switching 
and security products address the high-performance networking requirements of global service providers, enterprises, governments, 
and research and public sector organizations that view the network as critical to their success. Our software, silicon, and systems 
represent innovations that transform the experience and economics of networking, helping customers achieve superior performance, 
greater choice, and flexibility, while reducing overall total cost of ownership.

We do business in three geographic regions: Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"), and Asia Pacific ("APAC"). 
During 2013, we operated under two business segments: Platform Systems Division ("PSD") and Software Solutions Division 
("SSD"). Our PSD segment primarily offers scalable routing and switching products that are used in service provider, enterprise, 
and public sector networks to control and direct network traffic between data centers, core, edge, aggregation, campus, Wide Area 
Networks ("WANs"), and consumer and business devices. Our SSD segment offers solutions focused on network security and 
network  services  applications  for  both  service  providers  and  enterprise  customers.  Both  segments  offer  worldwide  services, 
including technical support and professional services, as well as educational and training programs to our customers. Together, 
our  high-performance  product  and  service  offerings  help  our  customers  convert  legacy  networks  that  provide  commoditized 
services into more valuable assets that provide differentiation, value, and increased performance, reliability, and security to end-
users. During 2013, we consolidated operational oversight and management of all security products within our SSD segment. As 
a result of this product realignment, security products previously reported in our PSD segment (including the Branch SRX, Branch 
Firewall, and J Series product families) are now reported in our SSD segment. In addition, we realigned our Contrail products 
from our PSD segment to our SSD segment. Segment data for prior years has been reclassified to conform to the current year 
presentation. See Note 13, Segments, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, for further 
information about the realignment and financial information regarding each of our PSD and SSD segments, which is incorporated 
herein by reference. 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we conducted business in more than 100 countries generating net revenues of $4,669.1 
million and net income attributable to Juniper Networks of $439.8 million. 

We were incorporated in California in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1998. Our corporate headquarters are located in 
Sunnyvale, California. Our website address is www.juniper.net.

Strategy 

In February 2014, we announced an integrated operating plan ("IOP") to refocus the Company on innovation that matters most 
to service providers and enterprises where demand for High-IQ Networks and best-in-class cloud environments are driving growth. 
The IOP strategy capitalizes upon our engineering expertise across routing, switching, security, control and network management 
to align our focus to become a leading provider of secure High-IQ Networks while serving the needs of Cloud Builders. Through 
the execution of the IOP we plan to coalesce our engineering talent, go-to-market teams and R&D around this strategy resulting 
in streamlined operations and business portfolio and operational efficiencies. As we implement the IOP, it is possible that our 
segments may change.

We believe many of the core tenets of our historical strategic efforts described below carry forward and form the foundation of 
our successful implementation of the IOP.

Maintain and Extend Technology Leadership 

We are recognized around the world as an innovation leader in networking. Our Junos OS, application-specific integrated circuit 
(“ASIC”)  technology,  and  network-optimized  product  architecture  were  key  elements  to  establishing  and  maintaining  our 
technology leadership. 

Leverage Position as Supplier of High-Performance Network Infrastructure

From inception, we have focused on designing, developing, and building high-performance network infrastructure for the world's 
most  demanding  networking  environments.  We  consistently  deliver  groundbreaking,  leading  technologies  that  transform  the 
economics and experience of networking—significantly improving customer economics by lowering the capital expenditures 
required to build networks and the operating expenses required to manage and maintain them. We believe that many customers 
will deploy networking equipment from only a few vendors, and that the scale, performance, reliability, and security of our products 
will provide us with a competitive advantage, which is critical to be selected as one of those vendors. 

Be a Strategic Partner to Our Customers

In  developing  our  solutions,  we  work  very  closely  with  customers  to  design  and  build  best-in-class  products  and  solutions 
specifically designed to meet their complex needs. Over time, we have expanded our understanding of the escalating demands 
and risks facing our customers, which has enabled us to design additional capabilities into our products. We believe our close 
relationships with, and constant feedback from, our customers have been key elements in our design wins and rapid deployments 
to date. We plan to continue to work hand-in-hand with our customers to implement product enhancements, as well as to design 
products that meet the evolving needs of the marketplace, while enabling customers to reduce costs. We are committed to investing 
in R&D at a level that drives our innovation agenda, enabling us to deliver highly differentiated products and outstanding value 
to our customers.

Enable New Internet Protocol ("IP")-Based Services 

Our platforms have enabled network operators to quickly build and secure networks cost-effectively and deploy new differentiated 
services to drive new sources of revenue more efficiently than legacy network products. By enabling new IP-based services, we 
have significantly broadened our service provider business over the last several years, while also significantly expanding our 
presence in the enterprise market.

Establish and Develop Industry Partnerships

Our customers have diverse requirements. Therefore, we believe that it is important that we attract and build relationships with 
other  industry  leaders  with  diverse  technologies  and  services  that  extend  the  value  of  the  network  to  our  customers.  These 
partnerships ensure that our customers have access to those technologies and services, whether through technology integration, 
joint development, resale, or other collaboration, in order to better support a broader set of our customers' requirements. In addition, 
we believe an open network infrastructure that invites partner innovation provides customers with greater choice and control in 
meeting their evolving business requirements, while enabling them to reduce costs.

Markets and Customers 

We sell our high-performance network products and service offerings through direct sales, distributors, value-added resellers 
("VARS"), and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) partners to end-users in the service provider and enterprise markets. 
We believe the network needs for service providers such as carriers—wireless and wireline, cable, and content and Web 2.0 service 
companies are converging, as are those of large enterprise and national governments, as these customers focus on High-IQ networks 
and cloud environments.

Service Providers 

Service providers generally include wireline and wireless carriers, and cable operators, as well as major Internet content and 
application providers, including those that provide social networking and search engine services. We support most major service 
provider  networks  in  the  world  and  our  high-performance  network  infrastructure  offerings  are  designed  and  built  for  the 
performance, reliability, and security that service providers demand. We believe our networking infrastructure offerings benefit 
our service provider customers by: 

•  Reducing capital and operational costs by running multiple services over the same network using our high density 

and highly reliable platforms;

•  Creating new or additional revenue opportunities by enabling new services to be offered to new market segments 

based on our product capabilities;

• 

• 

Increasing  customer  satisfaction,  while  lowering  costs,  by  enabling  consumers  to  self-select  automatically 
provisioned service packages that provide the quality, speed, and pricing they desire; and 

Providing increased asset longevity and higher return on investment as our customers' networks can scale to multi-
terabit rates based on the capabilities of our platforms.

While many of these service providers have historically been categorized separately as wireline, wireless, or cable operators, in 
recent years, we have seen increased convergence of these different types of service providers through acquisitions, mergers, and 
partnerships. We believe these strategic developments are made technically possible as operators invest in the build-out of High-
IQ networks and cloud environments. 

We believe that there are several other trends affecting service providers for which we are well positioned to deliver products and 
solutions. These trends include: significant growth in IP traffic on service provider networks because of peer-to-peer interaction; 
broadband usage; video; an increasing reliance on the network as a mission critical business tool in the strategies of our service 
provider customers and of their enterprise customers; the advent of data center "clouds" that concentrate business applications in 
large, IP network connected facilities; and growth in mobile traffic as a result of the increase in mobile device usage including 
notebooks, netbooks, smartphones, and tablets.

The infrastructure market for service providers includes: products and technology at the network core; the network edge to enable 
access; the aggregation layer; the data center where many services are created; security to protect from the inside out and the 
outside in; the application awareness and intelligence to optimize the network to meet business and user needs; and the management, 
service awareness, and control of the entire infrastructure. 

Enterprise 

Our high-performance network infrastructure offerings are designed to meet the performance, reliability, and security requirements 
of the world's most demanding businesses. The enterprise market generally is comprised of businesses; federal, state, and local 
governments; financial services; and research and education institutions. Enterprises and public sector organizations, such as 
governments and research and education institutions, that view their networks as critical to their success are able to deploy our 
solutions as a powerful component in delivering the advanced network capabilities needed for their leading-edge applications. In 
addition, our solutions:

•  Assist in the consolidation and delivery of existing services and applications;

•  Accelerate the deployment of new services and applications;

5

Table of Contents

•  Offer end-to-end security across every environment—from the data center to campus and branch environments and to 

the device itself to assist in the protection and recovery of services and applications; and

•  Offer operational improvements that enable cost reductions, including lower administrative, training, customer care, 

and labor costs.

As with the service provider market, innovation continues to be a critical component in our strategy for the enterprise market. 
High-performance enterprises require High-IQ networks that are global, distributed, and always available. Network equipment 
vendors serving these enterprises need to demonstrate performance, reliability, and security with best-in-class open solutions for 
maximum flexibility. We offer enterprise solutions and services for data centers, branch and campus applications, distributed and 
extended enterprises, and consumer and business devices.

Customers

In 2013 and 2011, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues. In 2012, Verizon Communications, Inc. 
("Verizon") accounted for 10.3% of our net revenues. 

Products and Technology 

Early in our history, we developed, marketed, and sold the first commercially available purpose-built IP backbone router optimized 
for the specific high-performance requirements of service providers. As the need for core bandwidth continued to increase, the 
need for service rich platforms at the edge of the network was created. 

In the last seven years, we have expanded our portfolio to address domains in the network: the core, the edge, access and aggregation, 
data centers, WANs, and campus and branch. We have systematically focused on how we innovate in silicon, systems, and software 
to provide a range of solutions in high-performance networking that can solve unique problems for customers. 

Our focus on high-performance networking leads to a focus on three product areas: routing, switching, and security. In each of 
the past three fiscal years, routing, switching, security, and services each accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net 
revenues. The following is an overview of our major product families within each of our segments in 2013:

Platform Strategy 

In addition to our major product families, our software portfolio was a key technology element in our strategy to be the leader in 
high-performance networking. 

Our Junos Platform enables our customers to expand network software into the application space, deploy software clients to control 
delivery,  and  accelerate  the  pace  of  innovation  with  an  ecosystem  of  developers. The  Junos  Platform  includes  the  following 
products:

• 

Junos OS: At the heart of the Junos Platform is Junos OS. We believe Junos OS is fundamentally superior to other 
network operating systems not only in its design, but also in its development capabilities. The advantages of Junos OS 
include: 

One modular operating system with common base of code and a single, consistent implementation for each 
control plane feature;

One software release train extended through a highly disciplined and firmly scheduled development process; and

One common modular software architecture that scales across all Junos-based platforms.

Junos OS is designed to maintain continuous systems and improve the availability, performance, and security of business 
applications running across the network. Junos OS helps to automate network operations by providing a single consistent 
implementation of features across the network in a single release train that seeks to minimize the complexity, cost, and 
risk  associated  with  implementing  network  features  and  upgrades.  This  operational  efficiency  allows  network 
administrators  more  time  to  innovate  and  deliver  new  revenue-generating  applications,  helping  to  advance  the 
economics of high-performance networking. 

The security and stability of Junos OS, combined with its modular architecture and common source code base, provides 
a foundation for delivering performance, reliability, security, and scale at a lower total cost of ownership than multiple 
operating code base environments. With an increasing number of our platforms able to leverage Junos OS, including 
routing, switching, and security products, we believe Junos OS provides us a competitive advantage over other major 
network equipment vendors. 

• 

Junos Space: Our Junos Space network management platform offers an open, Service-Oriented Architecture-based 
("SOA")  platform  for  creating  organic  and  third-party  network  management  applications  to  drive  network

Our Contrail network orchestration system offers an open-source, standards-based platform for software-defined networks ("SDN") 
and network function virtualization. This platform enables our customers to address their key problems in the area of network 
automation, agility, and time-to-service deployment by providing a mechanism to virtualize the network over any physical network 
and  automating  the  provisioning  and  management  of  networking  services  (such  as  security  and  load  balancing).  Contrail’s 
differentiation includes a distributed architecture that allows us to build in high-availability and in-service upgrade capabilities; 
a multi-vendor solution familiar to our customers that allows Contrail to seamlessly interoperate with equipment from major 
networking vendors; an open-source licensing model, and an orchestration system-agnostic approach that provides REST APIs 
that can be used by customers to work with their own provisioning and management systems. 

Significant Product Development Projects 

In 2013, we continued to invest in innovation and strengthening our product portfolio, which resulted in new product offerings 
during 2013, including a series of new products for the enterprise campus and data center infrastructures, including the EX9200 
Ethernet Switch, a programmable core switch, to support emerging applications and growing workloads. Additionally, we enhanced 
our MX Series portfolio with the release of the MX104, MX2010, and the MX2020, service provider edge routers designed for 
rapid service delivery and application enablement. We also released the world's smallest Supercore, the PTX3000, to address the 
scale and flexibility challenges facing service providers as they converge their networks to optimize their business. Furthermore, 
to help enterprise organizations and service providers address the challenges associated with managing multiple, geographically 
dispersed data centers, we unveiled MetaFabric, a new architecture for next generation data centers. MetaFabric simplifies and 
accelerates the deployment and delivery of applications within and across multiple data center locations.

As  of  December 31,  2013,  we  employed  361  people  in  worldwide  manufacturing  and  operations  who  primarily  manage 
relationships with our contract manufacturers, manage our supply chain, and monitor and manage product testing and quality. 

As of December 31, 2013, we have subcontracted with Celestica Incorporated and Flextronics International Ltd. for the majority 
of  our  manufacturing  activity.  In  2013,  we  completed  the  disengagement  of  Plexus  Corporation  ("Plexus")  as  a  contract 
manufacturer as part of our initiative to reduce our contract manufacturers from three to two.

Our manufacturing is primarily conducted through contract manufacturers in the United States ("U.S."), China, Malaysia, Mexico, 
and Taiwan. Our contract manufacturers in all locations are responsible for all phases of manufacturing from prototypes to full 
production and assist with activities such as material procurement, final assembly, test, control, shipment to our customers, and 
repairs. Together with our contract manufacturers, we design, specify, and monitor the tests that are required for our products to 
meet internal and external quality standards. These arrangements provide us with the following benefits: 

•  We can quickly deliver products to customers with turnkey manufacturing and drop-shipment capabilities;

•  We gain economies of scale by leveraging our buying power with our contract manufacturers when we purchase large 

quantities of components;

•  We operate with a minimum amount of dedicated space for manufacturing operations; and

•  We can reduce our costs by reducing what would normally be fixed overhead expenses.

Our contract manufacturers build our products based on our rolling product demand forecasts. Each contract manufacturer procures 
components necessary to assemble the products in our forecast and tests the products according to agreed upon specifications. 
Products are then shipped to our distributors, VARs, or end-users. Generally, we do not own the components, and title to the 
products transferred from the contract manufacturers to us and immediately to our customers upon delivery at a designated shipment 
location. If the components remain unused or the products remain unsold for a specified period, we may incur carrying charges 
or obsolete materials charges for components that our contract manufacturers purchased to build products to meet our forecast or 
customer orders.

Although we have contracts with our contract manufacturers, those contracts merely set forth a framework within which the 
contract manufacturer may accept purchase orders from us. The contracts do not require them to manufacture our products on a 
long-term basis.

We also purchase and hold inventory for strategic reasons and to mitigate the risk of shortages of certain critical component 
supplies.  The  majority  of  our  inventory  is  production  components. As  a  result,  we  may  incur  additional  holding  costs  and 
obsolescence charges, particularly resulting from uncertainties in future product demand.

Our application-specific integrated circuits ("ASICs") are manufactured primarily by sole or limited sources, such as International 
Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), each of which is responsible for all aspects of ASICs production using our proprietary 
designs. 

By working collaboratively with our suppliers, we have the opportunity to promote socially responsible business practices beyond 
our company and into our worldwide supply chain. To this end, we have adopted a supplier code of conduct and promote compliance 
with such code of conduct to our suppliers. One element of our supplier code of conduct is adoption and compliance with the 
Electronic Industry Code of Conduct (“EICC”). The EICC outlines standards to promote ethical business practices, eliminate 
human trafficking, and ensure that working conditions in the electronics industry supply chain are safe, workers are treated with 
respect and dignity, and manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible. 

Research and Development

We have assembled a team of skilled engineers with extensive experience in the fields of high-end computing, network system 
design, ASIC design, security, routing protocols, software applications and platforms, and embedded operating systems. As of 
December 31, 2013, we employed 4,135 people in our worldwide R&D organization. 

We believe that strong product development capabilities are essential to our strategy of enhancing our core technology, developing 
additional applications, integrating that technology, and maintaining the competitiveness and innovation of our product and service 
offerings. In our products, we are leveraging our software, ASIC and systems technology, developing additional network interfaces 
targeted to our customers' applications, and continuing to develop technology to support the build-out of High-IQ networks and 
cloud environments. We continue to expand the functionality of our products to improve performance reliability and scalability, 
and to provide an enhanced user interface. 

Our R&D process is driven by the availability of new technology, market demand, and customer feedback. We have invested 
significant time and resources in creating a structured process for all product development projects. Following an assessment of 
market demand, our R&D team develops a full set of comprehensive functional product specifications based on inputs from the 
product management and sales organizations. This process is designed to provide a framework for defining and addressing the 
steps, tasks, and activities required to bring product concepts and development projects to market. Expenditures for R&D were 
$1,043.2 million, $1,101.6 million, and $1,026.8 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

As of December 31, 2013, we employed 2,626 people in our worldwide sales and marketing organization. These sales and marketing 
employees operate in different locations around the world in support of our customers. 

Our sales organization, with its structure of sales professionals, system engineers, and marketing and channel teams, is generally 
split between service provider and enterprise customers. Within each team, sales team members serve the following three geographic 
regions: (i) Americas (including United States, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and Central and South America), (ii) EMEA, and 
(iii) APAC. Within each region, there are regional and country teams, as well as major account teams, to ensure we operate close 
to our customers. 

Our sales teams operate in their respective regions and generally either engage customers directly or manage customer opportunities 
through our distribution and reseller relationships or channels as described below. 

In the United States and Canada, we sell to several service providers directly and sell to other service providers and enterprise 
customers primarily through distributors and resellers. Almost all of our sales outside the United States and Canada are made 
through our channel partners. 

Direct Sales Structure

Our sales team engages with end-user customers with which we have direct relationships. The terms and conditions of these 
arrangements  are  governed  either  by  customer  purchase  orders  and  our  acknowledgment  of  those  orders  or  by  purchase 
contracts. The direct contracts with these customers set forth only general terms of sale and generally do not require customers to 
purchase specified quantities of our products. We directly receive and process customer purchase orders.

Channel Sales Structure

A critical part of our sales and marketing efforts are our channel partners through which we conduct the majority of our sales. We 
utilize various channel partners, including but not limited to: 

•  A global network of strategic distributor relationships, as well as region-specific or country-specific distributors who 
in turn sell to local VARs who sell to end-user customers. Our distribution channel partners sell our SSD product lines 
as well as the majority of our PSD product lines, including infrastructure products that are often purchased by our 
enterprise  customers. These  distributors  tend  to  be  focused  on  particular  regions  or  countries  within  regions.  For 
example, we have substantial distribution relationships with Ingram Micro in the Americas and Hitachi in Japan. Our 
agreements with these distributors are generally non-exclusive, limited by region, and provide product discounts and 
other ordinary terms of sale. These agreements do not require our distributors to purchase specified quantities of our 
products. Further, most of our distributors sell our competitor's products, and some sell their own competing products.

•  VARs and Direct value-added resellers ("DVARs"), including our strategic worldwide resellers referenced below, resell 
our  products  to  end-users  around  the  world. These  channel  partners  either  buy  our  products  and  services  through 
distributors (VARs), or directly from us, and have expertise in designing, selling, and deploying complex networking 
solutions in their respective markets. Our agreements with these channel partners are generally non-exclusive, limited 
by region, and provide product discounts and other ordinary terms of sale. These agreements do not require these 
channel partners to purchase specified quantities of our products. Increasingly, our service provider customers also 
resell our products to their customers or purchase our products for the purpose of providing managed or cloud-based 
services to their customers. 

• 

Strategic worldwide reseller relationships with established historical alliances including Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. 
("NSN"),  Ericsson  Telecom A.B.  (“Ericsson”),  and  IBM.  These  companies  each  offer  services  and  products  that 
complement our own product offerings and act as a reseller, and in some instances integration partners for our products. 
Our arrangements with these partners allow them to resell our products on a worldwide, non-exclusive basis, provide 
for product discounts, and specify other general terms of sale. These agreements do not require these partners to purchase 
specified quantities of our products.

Backlog

Our sales are made primarily pursuant to purchase orders under framework agreements with our customers. At any given time, 
we have backlog orders for products that have not shipped. Because customers may cancel purchase orders or change delivery 
schedules without significant penalty, we believe that our backlog at any given date may not be a reliable indicator of future 
operating results. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our total product backlog was approximately $470.7 million 
and  $410.5  million,  respectively.  Our  product  backlog  consists  of  confirmed  orders  for  products  scheduled  to  be  shipped  to 
customers, generally within the next six months, and excludes both orders from distributors as we recognize product revenue on 
sales made through distributors upon sell-through to end-users. Backlog also excludes certain future revenue adjustments for items 
such as product revenue deferrals, sales return reserves, service revenue allocations, and early payment discounts.

Seasonality 

We, as do many companies in our industry, experience seasonal fluctuations in customer spending patterns, particularly in the first 
quarter. Historically, we have experienced stronger customer demand in the fourth quarter. This historical pattern should not be 
considered a reliable indicator of our future net revenues or financial performance. 

Competition

PSD Business

In the network infrastructure business, Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") has historically been the dominant player in the market. 
However, our principal competitors also include Alcatel-Lucent, Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. ("Brocade"), Extreme 
Networks, Inc. ("Extreme Networks"), Hewlett Packard Company ("HP"), and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei"). 

Many of our current and potential competitors, such as Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent, HP, and Huawei, among others, bundle their products 
with other networking products in a manner that may discourage customers from purchasing our products. In addition, consolidation 
among competitors, or the acquisition of our partners and resellers by competitors, can increase the competitive pressure faced 
by us due to their increased size and breadth of their product portfolios. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater 
11

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

name recognition and more extensive customer bases that they may leverage to compete more effectively. Increased competition 
could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share, negatively affecting our 
operating results. 

SSD Business

In the market for SSD products, Cisco generally is our primary competitor with its broad range of products. In addition, there are 
a number of other competitors for each of the product lines within SSD, including Check Point Software Technologies, Ltd. 
("Check  Point"),  F5  Networks,  Inc.  ("F5  Networks"),  Fortinet,  Inc.  ("Fortinet"),  and  Palo Alto  Networks,  Inc.  ("Palo Alto 
Networks"), among others. These additional competitors tend to be focused on single product line solutions and, therefore, may 
be considered specialized compared to our broader product line. In addition, a number of public and private companies have 
announced plans for new products to address the same needs that our products address. We believe that our ability to compete 
with Cisco and others depends upon our ability to demonstrate that our products are superior in meeting the needs of our current 
and potential customers. 

For  both  product  groups,  we  expect  that  over  time,  large  companies  with  significant  resources,  technical  expertise,  market 
experience,  customer  relationships,  and  broad  product  lines,  such  as  Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent,  and  Huawei,  will  introduce  new 
products designed to compete more effectively in the market. There are also several other companies that claim to have products 
with greater capabilities than our products. There continues to be consolidation in this industry, with smaller companies being 
acquired by larger, established suppliers of network infrastructure products. We believe this trend is likely to continue. 

As a result, we expect to face increased competition in the future from larger companies with significantly more resources than 
we have. Although we believe that our technology and the purpose-built features of our products make them unique and will enable 
us to compete effectively with these companies, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful. 

Environment 

We are subject to regulations that have been adopted with respect to environmental matters, such as the Waste Electrical and 
Electronic Equipment (“WEEE”), Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment 
(“RoHS”), and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”) regulations adopted by the 
European Union and China. In addition, we participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (“CDP”). CDP is a global standardized 
mechanism by which companies report their greenhouse gas emissions to institutional investors. It hosts one of the largest registries 
of corporate greenhouse gas data in the world at www.cdproject.net. We continue to invest in the infrastructure and systems required 
to be able to inventory and measure our carbon footprint on a global basis. We believe we have made significant strides in improving 
our energy efficiency around the world. 

To date, compliance with federal, state, local, and foreign laws enacted for the protection of the environment has had no material 
effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. 

In addition, we are committed to the environment by our effort in improving the energy efficiency of key elements in our high-
performance network product offerings. In 2012, we launched a set of carrier-class MPLS switches, the PTX5000 series. In addition 
to filling the capacity and density requirement for Internet core growth, PTX5000 also features record energy efficiency of 1.5W 
per Gigabit of throughput. The environment will remain a focus area across multiple aspects of our business. 

Intellectual Property 

Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our internally developed technology and expertise. 

While we rely on patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark law, as well as confidentiality agreements, to protect our technology, 
we also believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent 
product enhancements, and reliable product maintenance are essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership 
position. There can be no assurance that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology. 

In addition, we integrate licensed third-party technology into certain of our products. From time to time, we license additional 
technology from third parties to develop new products or product enhancements. There can be no assurance that third-party licenses 
will be available or continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Our inability to maintain or re-license any 
third-party licenses required in our products or our inability to obtain third-party licenses necessary to develop new products and 
product enhancements could require us to obtain substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards or at a greater 
cost, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 

12

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

Our success will depend in part upon our ability to obtain necessary intellectual property rights and protect our intellectual property 
rights. We cannot be certain that patents will be issued on the patent applications that we have filed, that we will be able to obtain 
the necessary intellectual property rights, or that other parties will not contest our intellectual property rights. 

As of December 31, 2013, we had over 2,000 patents worldwide. Patents generally have a term of twenty years from filing. As 
our patent portfolio has been built over time, the remaining terms on the individual patents vary.

Employees 

As of December 31, 2013, we had 9,483 full-time employees. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our 
relations with our employees to be good. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is intense. We believe that our future 
success depends in part on our continued ability to hire, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. We believe that we have been 
successful in recruiting qualified employees, but there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in the future. 

Our future performance depends significantly upon the continued service of our key technical, sales, and senior management 
personnel, none of whom are bound by an employment agreement requiring service for any defined period of time. The loss of 
one or more of our key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Investments in our securities involve significant risks. Even small changes in investor expectations for our future growth and 
earnings, whether as a result of actual or rumored financial or operating results, changes in the mix of the products and services 
sold, acquisitions, industry changes, or other factors, could trigger, and have triggered in the past, significant fluctuations in the 
market price of our common stock. Investors in our securities should carefully consider all of the relevant factors disclosed by us, 
including, but not limited to, the following factors, that could affect our business, operating results and stock price.

Our quarterly results are unpredictable and subject to substantial fluctuations; as a result, we may fail to meet the expectations 
of securities analysts and investors, which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are 
outside of our control and any of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

The factors that may cause our quarterly results to vary quarter by quarter and be unpredictable include, but are not limited to: 
limited visibility into customer spending plans, changes in the mix of products and services sold, changes in the mix of geographies 
in which our products and services are sold, changing market and economic conditions, current and potential customer consolidation, 
competition, customer concentration, long sales and implementation cycles, unpredictable ordering patterns, changes in the amount 
and frequency of share repurchases or dividends, regional economic and political conditions, and seasonality. For example, we, 
and many companies in our industry, experience adverse seasonal fluctuations in customer spending, particularly in the first quarter. 
Furthermore market trends, competitive pressures, commoditization of products, seasonal rebates, increased component or shipping 
costs, regulatory impacts and other factors may result in reductions in revenue or pressure on gross margins of certain segments 
in a given period, which may necessitate adjustments to our operations. Such adjustments may be difficult or impossible to execute 
in the short or medium term.

As a result of these factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons 
of operating results are not necessarily a good indication of what our future performance will be. It is likely that in some future 
quarters, our operating results may be below our guidance, our long-term financial model or the expectations of securities analysts 
or investors, in which case the price of our common stock may decline. Such a decline could occur, and has occurred in the past, 
even when we have met our publicly stated revenues and/or earnings guidance.

Fluctuating economic conditions make it difficult to predict revenues for a particular period and a shortfall in revenues or 
increase in costs of production may harm our operating results.

Our revenues and gross margin depend significantly on general economic conditions and the demand for products in the markets 
in which we compete. Economic weakness, customer financial difficulties, and constrained spending on network expansion and 
enterprise infrastructure have in the past resulted in, and may in the future result in, decreased revenues and earnings. Such factors 
could make it difficult to accurately forecast sales and operating results and could negatively affect our ability to provide accurate 
forecasts  to  our  contract  manufacturers  and  manage  our  contract  manufacturer  relationships  and  other  expenses.  In  addition, 
economic uncertainty concerns over the sovereign debt situation in certain countries in the European Union, as well as continued 
turmoil in the geopolitical environment in many parts of the world, have, and may continue to, put pressure on global economic 
conditions, which has led, and could continue to lead, to reduced demand for our products, to delays or reductions in network 
expansions or infrastructure projects, and/or higher costs of production. Economic weakness may also lead to longer collection 
cycles for payments due from our customers, an increase in customer bad debt, restructuring initiatives and associated expenses, 
and impairment of investments. Furthermore, instability in the global credit markets may adversely impact the ability of our 
customers to adequately fund their expected capital expenditures, which could lead to delays or cancellations of planned purchases 
of our products or services. Our operating expenses are largely based on anticipated revenue trends and a high percentage of our 
expenses is, and will continue to be, fixed in the short and medium term. Therefore, fluctuations in revenue could cause significant 
variations in our operating results and operating margins from quarter to quarter.

Uncertainty about future economic conditions also makes it difficult to forecast operating results and to make decisions about 
future investments. Future or continued economic weakness, failure of our customers and markets to recover from such weakness, 
customer financial difficulties, increases in costs of production, and reductions in spending on network maintenance and expansion 
could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and consequently on our business, financial condition, and results 
of operations.

A  limited  number  of  our  customers  comprise  a  significant  portion  of  our  revenues  and  there  is  an  ongoing  trend  toward 
consolidation in the industry in which our customers and partners operate. Any decrease in revenues from our customers or 
partners could have an adverse effect on our net revenues and operating results.

A substantial majority of our net revenues depend on sales to a limited number of customers and distribution partners. For example, 
Verizon accounted for greater than 10% of our net revenues during 2012. Changes in the business requirements, vendor selection, 
financial prospects, capital resources, and expenditures, or purchasing behavior (including product mix purchased) of our key 
customers could significantly decrease our sales to such customers or could lead to delays or cancellations of planned purchases 
of our products or services, which increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and operating results. Any of these 
factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, in recent years, there has been movement towards consolidation in the telecommunications industry (for example, the 
acquisitions of Global Crossing by Level 3 Communications and Qwest Communications by CenturyLink and Softbank's purchase 
of a controlling interest in Sprint Nextel) and that consolidation trend has continued. If our customers or partners are parties to 
consolidation  transactions  they  may  delay,  suspend  or  indefinitely  reduce  or  cancel  their  purchases  of  our  products  or  other 
unforeseen consequences could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The long sales and implementation cycles for our products, as well as our expectation that some customers will sporadically 
place large orders with short lead times, may cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter-to-
quarter.

A customer's decision to purchase certain of our products, particularly new products, involves a significant commitment of its 
resources and a lengthy evaluation and product qualification process. As a result, the sales cycle may be lengthy. In particular, 
customers making critical decisions regarding the design and implementation of large network deployments may engage in very 
lengthy  procurement  processes  that  may  delay  or  impact  expected  future  orders. Throughout  the  sales  cycle,  we  may  spend 
considerable time educating and providing information to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our products. 
Even after making the decision to purchase, customers may deploy our products slowly and deliberately. Timing of deployment 
can vary widely and depends on the skill set of the customer, the size of the network deployment, the complexity of the customer's 
network environment, and the degree of hardware and operating system configuration necessary to deploy the products. Customers 
with large networks usually expand their networks in large increments on a periodic basis. Accordingly, we may receive purchase 
orders for significant dollar amounts on an irregular basis. These long cycles, as well as our expectation that customers will tend 
to sporadically place large orders with short lead times, both of which may be exacerbated by the impact of continued global 
economic weakness, may cause revenues and operating results to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter-to-quarter.

We face intense competition that could reduce our revenues and adversely affect our business and financial results.

Competition is intense in the markets that we address. The PSD market has historically been dominated by Cisco, with competition 
coming from other companies such as Alcatel-Lucent, Brocade, Extreme Networks, Hewlett Packard Company, and Huawei. In 
the SSD market, we face intense competition from the above companies as well as companies such as Check Point, Cisco, F5 
Networks, Fortinet, and Palo Alto Networks. Further, a number of other small public and private companies have products or have 
announced plans for new products to address the same challenges and markets that our products address.

In addition, actual or speculated consolidation among competitors, or the acquisition of our partners and/or resellers by competitors, 
can increase the competitive pressures faced by us as customers may delay spending decisions or not purchase our products at all. 
For example, in 2013, Oracle acquired Acme Packet, Inc., and Cisco acquired Meraki Networks, Inc. and Sourcefire, Inc., which 
further consolidated our market. A number of our competitors have substantially greater resources and can offer a wider range of 
products and services for the overall network equipment market than we do. If we are unable to compete successfully against 
existing and future competitors on the basis of product offerings or price, we could experience a loss in market share and revenues 
and/or be required to reduce prices, which could reduce our gross margins, and which could materially and adversely affect our 
business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We expect our gross margins to vary over time, and the level of product gross margins achieved by us in recent years may not 
be sustainable.

We expect our product gross margins to vary from quarter-to-quarter, and the gross margins we have achieved in recent years may 
not be sustainable and may be adversely affected in the future by numerous factors, including customer, product and geographic 
mix shifts, increased price competition in one or more of the markets in which we compete, increases in material or labor costs, 
increases  in  inventory  carrying  costs,  excess  product  component  or  obsolescence  charges  from  our  contract  manufacturers, 
increased costs due to changes in component pricing or charges incurred due to component holding periods if we do not accurately 
16

Table of Contents

forecast product demand, warranty related issues, or our introduction of new products or entry into new markets with different 
pricing and cost structures. For example, in the third quarter of 2012, our margins declined as a result of an inventory charge 
resulting from inventory we held in excess of forecasted demand. We determine our operating expenses largely on the basis of 
anticipated revenues and a high percentage of our expenses are fixed in the short and medium term. As a result, a failure or delay 
in generating or recognizing revenue could cause significant variations in our operating results and operating margin from quarter-
to-quarter. Failure to sustain or improve our gross margins reduces our profitability and may have a material adverse effect on our 
business and stock price.

Further, we recently announced an IOP to reduce our operating expenses and to focus on cost controls. We expect that our margins 
will, accordingly, vary with our ability to achieve the goals of the IOP. We can provide no assurance that we will meet our announced 
expectations, in whole or in part or that our plans will have the intended effects of improving our margins.

To the extent we receive product orders late in a quarter, we may be unable to recognize revenue for these orders in the same 
period, which could adversely affect our quarterly revenues.

Generally, our PSD products are not stocked by distributors or resellers due to their cost and complexity and the custom nature 
of configurations required by our customers; we generally build such products as orders are received. In recent years, the volume 
of orders received late in any given fiscal quarter has generally continued to increase but remains unpredictable. If orders for 
certain products are received late in any quarter, we may not be able to recognize revenue for these orders in the same period, 
which could adversely affect our ability to meet our expected revenues for such quarter. Additionally, we determine our operating 
expenses largely on the basis of anticipated revenues and a high percentage of our expenses are fixed in the short and medium 
term. As a result, a failure or delay in generating or recognizing revenue could cause significant variations in our operating results 
and operating margin from quarter-to-quarter.

We are dependent on sole source and limited source suppliers for several key components, which makes us susceptible to 
shortages or price fluctuations in our supply chain, and we may face increased challenges in supply chain management in the 
future.

We rely on single or limited sources of certain of our components. During periods of high demand for electronic products, component 
shortages are possible, and the predictability of the availability of such components may be limited. Any future growth in our 
business, IT spending and the economy in general is likely to create greater pressures on us and our suppliers to accurately forecast 
overall  component  demand  and  to  establish  optimal  component  inventories.  If  shortages  or  delays  persist,  the  price  of  these 
components may increase, or the components may not be available at all. We may not be able to secure enough components at 
reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to build new products in a timely manner, and our revenues and gross margins could 
suffer until other sources can be developed. For example, from time to time, we have experienced component shortages that 
resulted in delays of product shipments. We currently purchase numerous key components, including ASICs, from single or limited 
sources. The development of alternate sources for those components is time-consuming, difficult, and costly. In addition, the lead 
times associated with certain components are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in quantities and delivery schedules. Also, long-
term supply and maintenance obligations to customers increase the duration for which specific components are required, which 
may further increase the risk of component shortages or the cost of carrying inventory. In the event of a component shortage or 
supply interruption from these suppliers, we may not be able to develop alternate or second sources in a timely manner. If we are 
unable to buy these components in quantities sufficient to meet our requirements on a timely basis, we will not be able to deliver 
products and services to our customers, which would seriously affect present and future sales, which would, in turn, adversely 
affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, the development, licensing, or acquisition of new products in the future may increase the complexity of supply chain 
management. Failure to effectively manage the supply of key components and products would adversely affect our business. 

We rely on value-added and other resellers, as well as distribution partners, to sell our products, and disruptions to, or our 
failure to effectively develop and manage, our distribution channel and the processes and procedures that support it could 
adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products.

Our future success is highly dependent upon establishing and maintaining successful relationships with a variety of value-added 
and other reseller and distribution partners, including our worldwide strategic partners such as Ericsson, IBM, and NSN. The 
majority of our revenues are derived through value-added resellers and distributors, most of which also sell our competitors’ 
products, and some of which sell their own competing products. Our revenues depend in part on the performance of these partners. 
The loss of or reduction in sales to our resellers or distributors could materially reduce our revenues. For example, in 2011 and 
2012,  one  of  our  OEM  partners,  Dell,  acquired  Force10  and  SonicWall,  both  competitors  of  ours. As  a  result,  Dell  became 
increasingly competitive in certain areas, their resale of our products declined, and we ultimately terminated our OEM relationship 
17

Table of Contents

with Dell. Our competitors may in some cases be effective in leveraging their market share positions or in providing incentives 
to current or potential resellers and distributors to favor their products or to prevent or reduce sales of our products. If we fail to 
develop and maintain relationships with our partners, fail to develop new relationships with value-added resellers and distributors 
in new markets, fail to expand the number of distributors and resellers in existing markets, fail to manage, train or motivate existing 
value-added resellers and distributors effectively, or if these partners are not successful in their sales efforts, sales of our products 
may decrease, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations would suffer.

In addition, we recognize a portion of our revenues based on a sell-through model using information provided by our distributors. 
If those distributors provide us with inaccurate or untimely information, the amount or timing of our revenues could be adversely 
impacted.

Further, in order to develop and expand our distribution channel, we must continue to offer attractive channel programs to potential 
partners and scale and improve our processes and procedures that support the channel. As a result, our programs, processes and 
procedures may become increasingly complex and inherently difficult to manage. We have previously entered into OEM agreements 
with partners pursuant to which they rebrand and resell our products as part of their product portfolios. These types of relationships 
are complex and require additional processes and procedures that may be challenging and costly to implement, maintain and 
manage. Our failure to successfully manage and develop our distribution channel and the programs, processes and procedures that 
support it could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products.

Our ability to process orders and ship products in a timely manner is dependent in part on our business systems and performance 
of the systems and processes of third parties such as our contract manufacturers, suppliers, or other partners, as well as the 
interfaces between our systems and the systems of such third parties. If our systems, the systems and processes of those third 
parties, or the interfaces between them experience delays or fail, our business processes and our ability to build and ship 
products could be impacted, and our financial results could be harmed.

Some of our business processes depend upon our information technology ("IT") systems, the systems and processes of third parties, 
and the interfaces of our systems with the systems of third parties. For example, our order entry system feeds information into the 
systems of our contract manufacturers, which enables them to build and ship our products. If those systems fail or are interrupted, 
our processes may function at a diminished level or not at all. This could negatively impact our ability to ship products or otherwise 
operate our business, and our financial results could be harmed. For example, although it did not adversely affect our shipments, 
an earthquake in late December of 2006 disrupted our communications with China, where a significant part of our manufacturing 
occurs. In addition, as discussed later in this "Risk Factors" section, beginning in 2012 and we expect, continuing into 2015, we 
have been implementing major changes to our enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. Any failure of the new system or 
interruptions during the transition may impair communications with our manufacturers, and, therefore, adversely affect our ability 
to build and ship our products. 

We also rely upon the performance of the systems and processes of our contract manufacturers to build and ship our products. If 
those systems and processes experience interruption or delay, our ability to build and ship our products in a timely manner may 
be harmed. For example, we have experienced instances where our contract manufacturers were not able to ship products in the 
time periods expected by us, which prevented us from meeting our commitments to our customers. If we are not able to ship our 
products or if product shipments are delayed, our ability to recognize revenue in a timely manner for those products would be 
affected and our financial results could be harmed.

Telecommunications and content service provider companies and our other large customers generally require onerous terms 
and conditions in our contracts with them. As we seek to sell more products to such customers, we may be required to agree to 
terms and conditions that could have an adverse effect on our business or ability to recognize revenues.

Telecommunications and content service provider companies, which comprise a significant portion of our customer base, and 
other large companies, because of their size, generally have greater purchasing power than smaller entities and, accordingly, often 
request and receive more favorable terms from suppliers, which often translate into more onerous terms and conditions applicable 
to us. Recently, our customers, France Telecom-Orange and Deutsche Telekom AG have formed a company for the purpose of 
purchasing products from, and negotiating more favorable contractual terms with, suppliers. As we seek to sell more products to 
this class of customer, we may be required to agree to such terms and conditions, which may include terms that affect the timing 
of our ability to recognize revenue and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 
Consolidation among such large customers can further increase their buying power and ability to require onerous terms.

In addition, service providers have purchased products from other vendors who promised but failed to deliver certain functionality 
and/or had products that caused problems or outages in the networks of these customers. As a result, these customers may request 
additional features from us and require substantial penalties for failure to deliver such features or may require substantial penalties 
18

Table of Contents

for any network outages that may be caused by our products. These additional requests and penalties, if we are required to agree 
to them, may require us to defer revenue recognition from such sales, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition, 
and results of operations. 

System security risks, data protection breaches, and cyber-attacks could compromise our proprietary information, disrupt our 
internal operations and harm public perception of our products, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer and 
adversely affect our stock price.

In the ordinary course of business, we store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information 
and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners on our networks. The secure maintenance of this information is critical 
to our operations and business strategy. Increasingly, companies, including Juniper Networks, are subject to a wide variety of 
attacks on their networks on an ongoing basis. Despite our security measures, Juniper Networks' information technology and 
infrastructure may be vulnerable to penetration or attacks by computer programmers and hackers, or breached due to employee 
error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks, creating system disruptions or slowdowns 
and exploiting security vulnerabilities of our products, and the information stored on our networks could be accessed, publicly 
disclosed, lost or stolen, which could subject us to liability to our customers, suppliers, business partners and others, and cause us 
reputational and financial harm. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce 
or  procure  from  third  parties  may  contain  defects  in  design  or  manufacture,  including  "bugs"  and  other  problems  that  could 
unexpectedly interfere with the operation of our networks.

If an actual or perceived breach of network security occurs in our network or in the network of a customer of our products, regardless 
of whether the breach is attributable to our products, the market perception of the effectiveness of our products could be harmed. 
Because the techniques used by computer programmers and hackers, many of whom are highly sophisticated and well-funded, to 
access or sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized until after they are used, we may be unable to 
anticipate  or  immediately  detect  these  techniques.  This  could  impede  our  sales,  manufacturing,  distribution  or  other  critical 
functions. In addition, the economic costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, 
malicious software systems and security vulnerabilities could be significant and may be difficult to anticipate or measure because 
the damage may differ based on the identity and motive of the programmer or hacker, which are often difficult to identify.

Regulation of industry and the telecommunications industry in particular could harm our operating results and future prospects.

We are subject to laws and regulations affecting the sale of our products in a number of areas. For example, some governments 
have  regulations  prohibiting  government  entities  from  purchasing  security  products  that  do  not  meet  specified  indigenous 
certification criteria, even though those criteria may be in conflict with accepted international standards. Other regulations that 
may  negatively  impact  our  business  include  country  of  origin  regulations.  These  types  of  regulations  are  in  effect  or  under 
consideration in several jurisdictions where we do business.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act includes disclosure requirements regarding the use of “conflict 
minerals”  mined  from  the  Democratic  Republic  of  Congo  and  adjoining  countries  (“DRC”)  and  procedures  regarding  a 
manufacturer's efforts to prevent the sourcing of such “conflict minerals.” These minerals are present in our products. SEC rules 
implementing these requirements may have the effect of reducing the pool of suppliers who can supply DRC “conflict free” 
components and parts, and we may not be able to obtain DRC conflict free products or supplies in sufficient quantities for our 
operations. Since our supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges with our customers, stockholders and other 
stakeholders if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for the "conflict minerals” used in our products.

In addition, environmental regulations relevant to electronic equipment manufacturing or operations may impact our business and 
financial condition adversely. For instance, the European Union and China have adopted WEEE and ROHS regulations, which 
require producers of electrical and electronic equipment to assume responsibility for collecting, treating, recycling and disposing 
of products when they have reached the end of their useful life, as well as REACH regulations, which regulate handling of certain 
chemical substances that may be used in our products.

The traditional telecommunications industry is highly regulated, and our business and financial condition could be adversely 
affected by changes in regulations relating to the Internet telecommunications industry. Currently, there are few laws or regulations 
that apply directly to access to or commerce on IP networks, but future regulations could include sales taxes on products sold via 
the Internet and Internet service provider access charges. We could be adversely affected by regulation of IP networks and commerce 
in any country where we market equipment and services to service or content providers. Regulations governing the range of 
services and business models that can be offered by service providers or content providers could adversely affect those customers' 
needs  for  products  designed  to  enable  a  wide  range  of  such  services  or  business  models.  For  instance,  the  U.S.  Federal 
Communications Commission has issued regulations governing aspects of fixed broadband networks and wireless networks; these 
19

Table of Contents

regulations  might  impact  service  provider  and  content  provider  business  models  and  as  such,  providers'  needs  for  Internet 
telecommunications equipment and services. Also, many jurisdictions are evaluating or implementing regulations relating to cyber 
security, supply chain integrity, privacy and data protection, any of which can affect the market and requirements for networking 
and security equipment.

The adoption and implementation of such regulations could reduce demand for our products, increase the cost of building and 
selling our products, result in product inventory write-offs, impact our ability to ship products into affected areas and recognize 
revenue in a timely manner and require us to spend significant time and expense to comply, and we could face fines and civil or 
criminal sanctions or claims if we were to violate or become liable under such regulations. Any of these impacts could have a 
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Governmental regulations affecting the import or export of products or affecting products containing encryption capabilities 
could negatively affect our revenues.

Certain of our products contain or use encryption technology. The United States and various foreign governments have imposed 
controls, export license requirements, and restrictions on the import or export, among other things, encryption technology. In 
addition, from time to time, governmental agencies have proposed additional regulation of encryption technology, such as requiring 
certification,  notifications,  review  of  source  code,  or  the  escrow  and  governmental  recovery  of  private  encryption  keys.  For 
example, Russia and China recently have implemented new requirements relating to products containing encryption and India has 
imposed special warranty and other obligations associated with technology deemed critical. Governmental regulation of encryption 
or IP networking technology and regulation of imports or exports, or our failure to obtain required import or export approval for 
our products, could harm our international and domestic sales and adversely affect our revenues. In addition, failure to comply 
with such regulations could result in harm to our reputation, penalties, costs, and restrictions on import or export privileges or 
adversely affect sales to government agencies or government-funded projects.

If we do not successfully anticipate technological shifts, market needs and opportunities, and develop products and product 
enhancements that meet those technological shifts, needs and opportunities, or if those products are not made available in a 
timely manner or do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues 
will suffer.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to anticipate future technological shifts, market needs and opportunities or be able to 
develop new products or product enhancements to meet such technological shifts, needs or opportunities in a timely manner or at 
all. For example, the move from traditional network infrastructures towards SDN has been receiving considerable attention. In 
our view, it will take several years to see the full impact of SDN, and we believe the successful products and solutions in this 
market will combine hardware and software elements together. If we fail to anticipate market requirements or fail to develop and 
introduce new products or product enhancements to meet those needs in a timely manner, it could cause us to lose customers, and 
such failure could substantially decrease or delay market acceptance and sales of our present and future products, which would 
significantly harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if we are able to anticipate, develop, and 
commercially introduce new products and enhancements, there can be no assurance that new products or enhancements will 
achieve widespread market acceptance.

In addition, in the past two years, we announced new products, including the QFX3000-M QFabric System, T4000 Core Router, 
EX9200 Ethernet Switch, MX Series Routers, PTX 3000 Packet Transport Router, and Juniper Networks Contrail. If these or 
other new products do not gain market acceptance at a sufficient rate of growth, our ability to meet future financial targets may 
be adversely affected. In addition, if we fail to achieve market acceptance at a sufficient rate of growth, our ability to meet future 
financial targets and aspirations may be adversely affected. Finally, if we fail to deliver new or announced products to the market 
in a timely manner, it could adversely affect the market acceptance of those products and harm our competitive position and our 
business and financial results.

Our ability to develop, market, and sell products could be harmed if we are unable to retain or hire key personnel.

Our future success depends upon our ability to recruit and retain the services of executive, engineering, sales and marketing, and 
support personnel. The supply of highly qualified individuals, in particular engineers in very specialized technical areas, or sales 
people specializing in the service provider and enterprise markets, is limited and competition for such individuals is intense. None 
of our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term. In January 2014, Shaygan Kheradpir 
became the new CEO of the Company, succeeding Kevin Johnson, who had served as our CEO since September 2008. The loss 
of the services of any of our key employees, the inability to attract or retain personnel in the future or delays in hiring required 
personnel, engineers and sales people, and the complexity and time involved in replacing or training new employees, could delay 
the development and introduction of new products, and negatively impact our ability to market, sell, or support our products.

We  are  a  party  to  lawsuits,  investigations,  proceedings,  and  other  disputes,  which  are  costly  to  defend  and,  if  determined 
adversely to us, could require us to pay fines or damages, undertake remedial measures or prevent us from taking certain 
actions, any or all of which could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We, and certain of our current and former officers and current and former members of our Board of Directors, are subject to various 
lawsuits. We have been served with lawsuits related to employment matters, commercial transactions and patent infringement, as 
well as securities laws. A description of the securities lawsuits can be found in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, in Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report, under the heading “Legal Proceedings.” In addition, as noted under the 
heading of “Legal Proceedings”, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice are conducting 
investigations into possible violations by the Company of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Litigation and investigations 
are inherently uncertain. We therefore cannot predict the duration, scope, outcome or consequences of these matters. There can 
be no assurance that these or any actions or investigations that have been or may in the future be brought against us, our officers, 
and our directors will be resolved favorably. In connection with any government investigations, in the event the government takes 
action against us or the parties enter into an agreement to settle the matter, we may be required to pay substantial fines and/or 
incur other sanctions. The lawsuits and investigations are likely to be expensive and time-consuming to defend, settle, and/or 
resolve, and may require us to implement certain remedial measures that could prove costly or disruptive to our business and 
operations. The unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results 
of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We are a party to litigation and claims regarding intellectual property rights, resolution of which may be time-consuming and 
expensive, as well as require a significant amount of resources to prosecute, defend, or make our products non-infringing.

Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding 
patent and other intellectual property rights. We expect that infringement claims may increase as the number of products and 
competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur. Third parties have asserted and may in the future assert claims or initiate 
litigation related to patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights to technologies and related standards that 
are relevant to our products. The asserted claims and/or initiated litigation may include claims against us or our manufacturers, 
suppliers, partners, or customers, alleging that our products or services infringe proprietary rights. Regardless of the merit of these 
claims,  they  have  been  and  can  be  time-consuming,  result  in  costly  litigation,  and  may  require  us  to  develop  non-infringing 
technologies or enter into license agreements, or to cease engaging in certain activities or offering certain products or services. 
Furthermore, because of the potential for high awards of damages or injunctive relief that are not necessarily predictable, even 
arguably unmeritorious claims may be settled for significant amounts of money. If any infringement or other intellectual property 
claim made against us by any third-party is successful, if we are required to settle litigation for significant amounts of money, or 
if  we  fail  to  develop  non-infringing  technology  or  license  required  proprietary  rights  on  commercially  reasonable  terms  and 
conditions, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our financial condition and results of operations could suffer if there is an additional impairment of goodwill or other intangible 
assets with indefinite lives.

We are required to test intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, annually and on an interim basis if an event 
occurs or there is a change in circumstance that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of reporting units and intangible 
assets below their carrying values. As of December 31, 2013, our goodwill was $4,057.7 million and there were no intangible 
assets with indefinite lives. When the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value of goodwill, a 
charge to operations is recorded. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset with an indefinite life exceeds its fair value, a charge 
to operations is recognized. Either event would result in incremental expenses for that quarter, which would reduce any earnings 
or increase any loss for the period in which the impairment was determined to have occurred.

In the past, we experienced a reduction of $1,280.0 million to the carrying value of goodwill on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, 
primarily due to the decline in our market capitalization that occurred over a period of approximately nine months prior to the 
impairment review and, to a lesser extent, to a decrease in forecasted future cash flows.

In recent years, economic weakness has contributed to extreme price and volume fluctuations in global stock markets that have 
reduced the market price of many technology company stocks, including ours. Declines in our level of revenues or operating 
margins, as well as sustained declines in our stock price, increase the risk that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives 
may become impaired in future periods.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we concluded that there were sufficient indicators to require us to perform 
an interim goodwill impairment analysis on our SSD segment. Based on our analysis, we determined that our SSD segment’s 
goodwill is not impaired. However, our analysis is sensitive to changes in key assumptions used in our analysis, such as expected 
21

Table of Contents

future cash flows, the degree of volatility in equity and debt markets, and our stock price. If the assumptions used in our analysis 
are not realized, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future. We cannot accurately predict the 
amount and timing of any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets. However, any such impairment would have an adverse 
effect on our results of operations.

Changes  in  effective  tax  rates  or  adverse  outcomes  resulting  from  examination  of  our  income  or  other  tax  returns  could 
adversely affect our results.

Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by: earnings being lower than anticipated in 
countries where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated earnings in countries where we have higher statutory 
rates; changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; expiration of, or lapses in, the R&D tax credit laws applicable 
to  us;  transfer  pricing  adjustments  related  to  certain  acquisitions,  including  the  license  of  acquired  intangibles  under  our 
intercompany R&D cost sharing arrangement; costs related to intercompany restructuring; tax effects of share-based compensation; 
or changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, we are subject to the continuous 
examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood 
of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can 
be no assurance that the outcomes from these continuous examinations will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition, and results of operations.

If we fail to accurately predict our manufacturing requirements, we could incur additional costs or experience manufacturing 
delays, which would harm our business.

We provide demand forecasts to our contract manufacturers and the manufacturers order components and plan capacity based on 
these forecasts. If we overestimate our requirements, our contract manufacturers may assess charges, or we may have liabilities 
for excess inventory, each of which could negatively affect our gross margins. For example, in the third quarter of 2012, our gross 
margins  were  reduced  as  a  result  of  an  inventory  charge  resulting  from  inventory  we  held  in  excess  of  forecasted  demand. 
Conversely, because lead times for required materials and components vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific 
supplier, contract terms, and the demand for each component at a given time, and because our contract manufacturers are third-
party manufacturers for numerous other companies, if we underestimate our requirements, as we did in the third quarter of 2010 
with respect to certain components, our contract manufacturers may have inadequate time, materials, and/or components required 
to produce our products, which could increase costs or could delay or interrupt manufacturing of our products and result in delays 
in shipments and deferral or loss of revenues.

We are dependent on contract manufacturers with whom we do not have long-term supply contracts, and changes to those 
relationships, expected or unexpected, may result in delays or disruptions that could cause us to lose revenues and damage 
our customer relationships.

We depend on independent contract manufacturers (each of which is a third-party manufacturer for numerous companies) to 
manufacture our products. Although we have contracts with our contract manufacturers, these contracts do not require them to 
manufacture our products on a long-term basis in any specific quantity or at any specific price. In addition, it is time-consuming 
and costly to qualify and implement additional contract manufacturer relationships. Therefore, if we fail to effectively manage 
our contract manufacturer relationships, which includes failing to provide accurate forecasts of our requirements, or if one or more 
of them experiences delays, disruptions, or quality control problems in our manufacturing operations, or if we had to change or 
add additional contract manufacturers or contract manufacturing sites, our ability to ship products to our customers could be 
delayed. Also, the addition of manufacturing locations or contract manufacturers would increase the complexity of our supply 
chain management. Moreover, an increasing portion of our manufacturing is performed in China and other countries and is therefore 
subject to risks associated with doing business in other countries. In addition, in 2013, we reduced the number of our contract 
manufacturers and transitioned the work of one manufacturer to two of our other existing manufacturers. If we do not manage the 
recent transition effectively, we could experience delays or quality issues. Each of these factors could adversely affect our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

Upgrades to key internal systems and processes, and problems with the design or implementation of these systems and processes 
could interfere with, and therefore harm, our business and operations.

We previously initiated a multi-year project to upgrade certain key internal systems and processes, including our company-wide 
human resources management system, our customer relationship management (“CRM”) system and enterprise resource planning 
("ERP") system. In the first quarter of 2010, we implemented a major upgrade of our CRM system. Since 2012, we have been 
implementing major changes to our ERP system, which activities we expect to continue into 2015. We have invested, and will 
continue to invest, significant capital and human resources in the design and implementation of these systems and processes. Any 
22

Table of Contents

disruptions or delays in the design and implementation of the new systems or processes, particularly any disruptions or delays 
that impact our operations, could adversely affect our ability to process customer orders, ship products, provide service and support 
to our customers, bill and track our customers, fulfill contractual obligations, record and transfer information in a timely and 
accurate manner, file SEC reports in a timely manner, or otherwise run our business. Even if we do not encounter these adverse 
effects, the design and implementation of these new systems and processes may be much more costly than we anticipated. If we 
are unable to successfully design and implement these new systems and processes as planned, or if the implementation of these 
systems and processes is more costly than anticipated, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be negatively 
impacted.

We may face difficulties enforcing our proprietary rights.

We generally rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure of 
confidential and proprietary information, to establish and maintain proprietary rights in our technology and products. Although 
we have been issued numerous patents and other patent applications are currently pending, there can be no assurance that any of 
our patent applications will result in issued patents or that any of our patents or other proprietary rights will not be challenged, 
invalidated, infringed or circumvented or that our rights will, in fact, provide competitive advantages to us or protect our technology, 
any of which could result in costly product redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain product offerings and other competitive 
harm. Furthermore, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of 
the United States. The outcome of any actions taken in these foreign countries may be different than if such actions were determined 
under the laws of the United States. Although we are not dependent on any individual patents or group of patents for particular 
segments of the business for which we compete, if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights in a market, we may find ourselves 
at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense, time, and effort required to create innovative 
products that have enabled our success.

Our success depends upon our ability to effectively plan and manage our resources and restructure our business through 
rapidly fluctuating economic and market conditions.

Our ability to successfully offer our products and services in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning, forecasting, 
and management process to enable us to effectively scale and adjust our business in response to fluctuating market opportunities 
and conditions.

In periods of market expansion, we have increased investment in our business by, for example, increasing headcount and increasing 
our investment in R&D, sales and marketing, and other parts of our business.

Conversely, in the third quarter of 2012, to align our cost structure with long-term strategic plans as part of our productivity and 
efficiency initiatives, we restructured our business, rebalanced our workforce, and reduced our real estate portfolio. Similarly, in 
connection with our recently announced IOP, we expect to initiate a substantial cost reduction plan accomplished through various 
restructuring activities across research and development, sales and marking and general and administrative expenses. Many of 
our expenses, such as real estate expenses, are fixed costs that cannot be rapidly or easily adjusted in response to fluctuations in 
our business or numbers of employees. Moreover, rapid changes in the size of our workforce could adversely affect our ability to 
develop and deliver products and services as planned or impair our ability to realize our current or future business objectives. Our 
ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from our restructuring initiatives within the expected time frame 
is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive 
and  other  uncertainties,  some  of  which  are  beyond  our  control.  If  these  estimates  and  assumptions  are  incorrect,  if  we  are 
unsuccessful at implementing changes, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely 
affected.

We are subject to risks arising from our international operations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, 
and results of operations.

We  derive  a  majority  of  our  revenues  from  our  international  operations,  and  we  plan  to  continue  expanding  our  business  in 
international markets in the future. We conduct significant sales and customer support operations directly and indirectly through 
our distributors and VARs in countries throughout the world and depend on the operations of our contract manufacturers and 
suppliers that are located outside of the United States. In addition, a portion of our R&D and our general and administrative 
operations are conducted outside the United States. In some countries, we may experience reduced intellectual property protection.

23

Table of Contents

As a result of our international operations, we are affected by economic, regulatory, social, and political conditions in foreign 
countries, including the following:

• 

• 

• 

• 

changes in general IT spending,

the imposition of government controls, inclusive of critical infrastructure protection;

changes or limitations in trade protection laws or other regulatory requirements, which may affect our ability to import 
or export our products from various countries; and

the impact of the following on service provider and government spending patterns: political considerations, unfavorable 
changes  in  tax  treaties  or  laws,  natural  disasters,  epidemic  disease,  labor  unrest,  earnings  expatriation  restrictions, 
misappropriation of intellectual property, military actions, acts of terrorism, political and social unrest and difficulties in 
staffing and managing international operations.

Any or all of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Moreover, local laws and customs in many countries differ significantly from or conflict with those in the United States or in other 
countries in which we operate. In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common for others 
to engage in business practices that are prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or United States regulations applicable 
to us. There can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, channel partners, and agents will not take actions in violation 
of our policies and procedures, which are designed to ensure compliance with U.S. and foreign laws and policies. Violations of 
laws or key control policies by our employees, contractors, channel partners, or agents could result in termination of our relationship, 
financial reporting problems, fines, and/or penalties for us, or prohibition on the importation or exportation of our products, and 
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results 
of operations.

Because a majority of our business is conducted outside the United States, we face exposure to adverse movements in non-U.S. 
currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse 
impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The majority of our revenues and expenses are transacted in U.S. Dollars. We also have some transactions that are denominated 
in foreign currencies, primarily the British Pound, Euro, Indian Rupee, and Japanese Yen related to our sales and service operations 
outside of the United States. An increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar could increase the real cost to our customers of our products 
in those markets outside the United States in which we sell in U.S. Dollars, and a weakened U.S. Dollar could increase the cost 
of local operating expenses and procurement of raw materials to the extent we must purchase components in foreign currencies.

Currently, we hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional 
currencies and periodically hedge anticipated foreign currency cash flows. The hedging activities undertaken by us are intended 
to offset the impact of currency fluctuations on certain nonfunctional currency assets and liabilities. However, such attempts to 
offset the impact of currency fluctuations are costly and no amount of hedging can be effective against all circumstances, including 
long-term declines in the value of the U.S. Dollar. If our attempts to hedge against these risks are not successful, or if long-term 
declines in the value of the U.S. Dollar persist, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Integration of acquisitions could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition and stock price and may dilute the 
ownership of our stockholders.

We have made, and may continue to make, acquisitions in order to enhance our business. For example, in 2014, we acquired 
WANDL, Inc. and in 2012, we acquired Contrail Systems Inc. ("Contrail") and Mykonos. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, 
including problems combining the purchased operations, technologies or products, unanticipated costs and liabilities, diversion 
of management's attention from our core businesses, adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers, 
risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience, and potential loss of key employees. There 
can be no assurance that we will be able to integrate successfully any businesses, products, technologies, or personnel that we 
might acquire. The integration of businesses that we may acquire is likely to be a complex, time-consuming, and expensive process 
and we may not realize the anticipated revenues or other benefits associated with our acquisitions if we fail to successfully manage 
and operate the acquired business. If we fail in any acquisition integration efforts and are unable to efficiently operate as a combined 

24

Table of Contents

organization utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls, and human 
resources practices, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Acquisitions  may  also  require  us  to  issue  common  stock  or  assume  equity  awards  that  dilute  the  ownership  of  our  current 
stockholders, use a substantial portion of our cash resources, assume liabilities, record goodwill and amortizable intangible assets 
that will be subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges, incur amortization expenses 
related to certain intangible assets, and incur large and immediate write-offs and restructuring and other related expenses, all of 
which could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to adequately evolve our financial and managerial control and reporting systems and processes, our ability to manage 
and grow our business will be negatively affected.

Our ability to successfully offer our products and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market depends upon an 
effective planning and management process. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial control and our 
reporting systems and procedures in order to manage our business effectively in the future. If we fail to continue to implement 
improved systems and processes, our ability to manage our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be negatively 
affected.

Our products are highly technical and if they contain undetected errors or malware or do not meet customer quality expectations, 
our business could be adversely affected, and we may be subject to lawsuits or be required to pay damages in connection with 
any alleged or actual failure of our products and services.

Our products are highly technical and complex, are critical to the operation of many networks, and, in the case of our security 
products, provide and monitor network security and may protect valuable information. Our products have contained and may 
contain one or more undetected errors, defects, malware, or security vulnerabilities. Some errors in our products may only be 
discovered after a product has been installed and used by end-customers. Any errors, defects, malware or security vulnerabilities 
discovered in our  products after commercial release could result in  monetary penalties, loss of revenues or  delay in revenue 
recognition, loss of customers, loss of future business and reputation, penalties, and increased service and warranty cost, any of 
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, in the event an error, defect, 
malware, or vulnerability is attributable to a component supplied by a third-party vendor, we may not be able to recover from the 
vendor all of the costs of remediation that we may incur. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort, or breach of 
warranty or indemnification. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert management’s attention. If our 
business liability insurance coverage is inadequate, or future coverage is unavailable on acceptable terms or at all, our financial 
condition and results of operations could be harmed. Moreover, if our products fail to satisfy our customers' quality expectations 
for whatever reason, the perception of and the demand for our products could be adversely affected.

If our products do not interoperate with our customers’ networks, installations will be delayed or cancelled and could harm 
our business.

Our products are designed to interface with our customers’ existing networks, each of which have different specifications and 
utilize multiple protocol standards and products from other vendors. Many of our customers’ networks contain multiple generations 
of products that have been added over time as these networks have grown and evolved. Our products must interoperate with many 
or all of the products within these networks as well as future products in order to meet our customers’ requirements. If we find 
errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in our customers’ networks, we may need to modify our software 
or hardware to fix or overcome these errors so that our products will interoperate and scale with the existing software and hardware, 
which could be costly and could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, if our 
products do not interoperate with those of our customers’ networks, demand for our products could be adversely affected or orders 
for our products could be cancelled. This could hurt our operating results, damage our reputation, and seriously harm our business 
and prospects.

Our products incorporate and rely upon licensed third-party technology, and if licenses of third-party technology do not continue 
to be available to us or are not available on terms acceptable to us, our revenues and ability to develop and introduce new 
products could be adversely affected.

We  integrate  licensed  third-party  technology  into  certain  of  our  products.  From  time  to  time,  we  may  be  required  to  license 
additional  technology  from  third-parties  to  develop  new  products  or  product  enhancements. Third-party  licenses  may  not  be 
available or continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The failure to comply with the terms of any license, 
including free open source software, may result in our inability to continue to use such license. Our inability to maintain or re-
license any third-party licenses required in our products or our inability to obtain third-party licenses necessary to develop new 
25

Table of Contents

products and product enhancements, could require us, if possible, to develop substitute technology or obtain substitute technology 
of lower quality or performance standards or at a greater cost, any of which could delay or prevent product shipment and harm 
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We sell our products to customers that use those products to build networks and IP infrastructure, and if the demand for network 
and IP systems does not continue to grow, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely 
affected.

A substantial portion of our business and revenues depends on the growth of secure IP infrastructure and on the deployment of 
our products by customers that depend on the continued growth of IP services. As a result of changes in the economy, capital 
spending  or  the  building  of  network  capacity  in  excess  of  demand,  all  of  which  have  in  the  past  particularly  affected 
telecommunications service providers, spending on IP infrastructure can vary, which could have a material adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, a number of our existing customers are evaluating the build-
out of their next generation networks. During the decision-making period when the customers are determining the design of those 
networks and the selection of the equipment they will use in those networks, such customers may greatly reduce or suspend their 
spending on secure IP infrastructure. Such delays in purchases can make it more difficult to predict revenues from such customers 
can cause fluctuations in the level of spending by these customers and, even where our products are ultimately selected, can have 
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and any adverse results from 
such evaluation may adversely affect investor perception, our stock price and cause us to incur additional expense.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires our management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to, 
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We have an ongoing program to perform the system and process 
evaluation and testing necessary to comply with these requirements. We have and will continue to incur significant expenses and 
devote management resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. In the event that our Chief Executive Officer, Chief 
Financial Officer, or independent registered public accounting firm determine in the future that, our internal controls over financial 
reporting are not effective as defined under Section 404, investor perceptions may be adversely affected if our financial statements 
are not reliable and could cause a decline in the market price of our stock and otherwise negatively affect our liquidity and financial 
condition.

Failure to maintain our credit ratings could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position 
and access to capital markets.

The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate our debt. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, which include financial 
strength as well as transparency with rating agencies and timeliness of financial reporting. There can be no assurance that we will 
be able to maintain our credit ratings and failure to do so could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, 
competitive position and access to capital markets.

Our failure to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders or the failure to meet our commitments to return capital to our 
stockholders could have a material adverse affect on our stock price.

In February 2014, we announced our intention to implement payment of a quarterly dividend commencing in the third quarter of 
2014. Our ability to pay quarterly dividends will be subject to, among other things, our financial position and results of operations, 
available cash and cash flow, capital requirements and other factors. Any failure to pay or increase future dividends as announced, 
reduction or discontinuation of quarterly dividends could have a material adverse affect on our stock price.

In addition, as part of our IOP, the Board of Directors authorized $2.0 billion in share repurchases to be executed through the end 
of the first quarter of 2015, including $1.2 billion through an accelerated share repurchase program to be entered into during the 
first quarter of 2014. The capital return plan will be funded by a combination of onshore cash and newly issued debt to preserve 
our financial flexibility to invest in future growth opportunities and maintain our investment grade credit rating. We can provide 
no assurances that we will be able to consummate the debt offering on terms acceptable to us or at all. Any failure to meet our 
commitments to return capital to our shareholders could have an material adverse effect on our stock price.

We may be unable to generate the cash flow to service our debt obligations, including the Senior Notes.

In March 2011, we issued senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principle amount of $1.0 billion (see discussion in Note 10, 
Long-Term Debt and Financing, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report). As of December 31, 2013, we 
had $999.3 million in outstanding long-term debt. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to enable us to service our 
26

Table of Contents

indebtedness, including the notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our ability to pay our expenses and satisfy our debt 
obligations, refinance our debt obligations and fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which 
will be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. Based 
upon current levels of operations, we believe cash flow from operations and available cash will be adequate for the foreseeable 
future to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of principal and 
interest on our indebtedness, including the Senior Notes. However, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations 
or to borrow sufficient funds in the future to service our debt, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, 
refinance all or a portion of our existing debt (including the Senior Notes) or obtain additional financing. There is no assurance 
that we will be able to refinance our debt, sell assets or borrow more money on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

The indenture that governs the Senior Notes also contains various covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries 
to, among other things:

• 

• 

• 

incur liens;

incur sale and leaseback transactions; and

consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person.

As a result of these covenants, we are limited in the manner in which we can conduct our business, and we may be unable to 
engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. Accordingly, these restrictions may limit our 
ability to successfully operate our business. A failure to comply with these restrictions could lead to an event of default, which 
could result in an acceleration of the indebtedness. Our future operating results may not be sufficient to enable compliance with 
these covenants to remedy any such default. In addition, in the event of an acceleration, we may not have or be able to obtain 
sufficient funds to make any accelerated payments, including those under the Senior Notes and any notes issued in connection 
with the recently-announced capital return program discussed below.

In addition, in February 2014, we announced a capital return program to be effected over three years. We expect to incur additional 
indebtedness to fund actions expected to be taken pursuant to that program. 

The investment of our cash balance and our investments in government and corporate debt securities are subject to risks, which 
may cause losses and affect the liquidity of these investments.

At  December 31,  2013,  we  had  $2,284.0  million  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  $1,813.8  million  in  short-  and  long-term 
investments.  We  have  invested  these  amounts  primarily  in  asset-backed  securities,  certificate  of  deposit,  commercial  paper, 
corporate debt securities, foreign government debt securities, government- sponsored enterprise obligations, money market funds, 
mutual funds, publicly-traded equity securities and U.S. government securities. Certain of these investments are subject to general 
credit, liquidity, market, sovereign debt, and interest rate risks. Our future investment income may fall short of expectations due 
to changes in interest rates or if the decline in fair value of our publicly traded debt or equity investments is judged to be other-
than-temporary. These market risks associated with our investment portfolio may have a negative adverse effect on our liquidity, 
financial condition, and results of operations.

Uninsured losses could harm our operating results.

We self-insure against many business risks and expenses, such as intellectual property litigation and our medical benefit programs, 
where we believe we can adequately self-insure against the anticipated exposure and risk or where insurance is either not deemed 
cost-effective or is not available. We also maintain a program of insurance coverage for various types of property, casualty, and 
other risks. We place our insurance coverage with various carriers in numerous jurisdictions. The types and amounts of insurance 
that we obtain vary from time to time and from location to location, depending on availability, cost, and our decisions with respect 
to risk retention. The policies are subject to deductibles, policy limits, and exclusions that result in our retention of a level of risk 
on a self-insurance basis. Losses not covered by insurance could be substantial and unpredictable and could adversely affect our 
financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters are located on 80 acres of owned land in Sunnyvale, California and includes approximately 0.7 million 
square feet of owned buildings that we began occupying in November 2012 and into the first half of 2013, as part of our phased 
campus build-out. In addition to our owned facilities, we lease approximately 0.7 million square feet in buildings as part of our 
corporate headquarters.

In addition to our leased offices in Sunnyvale, we also lease offices in various locations throughout the United States, Canada, 
South America, EMEA, and APAC regions, including offices in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, the 
Netherlands, Russia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. We lease approximately 2.2 million square feet worldwide, 
with approximately 54 percent in North America. Each leased facility is subject to an individual lease or sublease, which could 
provide various options to renew/terminate the agreement or to expand/contract the leased space.

Our leases expire at various times through November 30, 2022. Our current offices are in good condition and appropriately support 
our business needs. 

For additional information regarding obligations under our operating leases, see Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, in

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following discussion should be read with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes in Item 8, of this Report. 

The following discussion is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report, which have 
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In the course of operating our 
business, we routinely make decisions as to the timing of the payment of invoices, the collection of receivables, the manufacturing 
and shipment of products, the fulfillment of orders, the purchase of supplies, and the building of inventory and spare parts, among 
other matters. Each of these decisions has some impact on the financial results for any given period. In making these decisions, 
we consider various factors including contractual obligations, customer satisfaction, competition, internal and external financial 
targets and expectations, and financial planning objectives. For further information about our critical accounting policies and 
estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section included in this “Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  

To aid in understanding our operating results for the periods covered by this Report, we have provided an executive overview and 
a summary of the business and market environment. These sections should be read in conjunction with the more detailed discussion 
and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in this Item 7, our “Risk Factors” section included 
in Item 1A of Part I, and our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of Part II of this Report. 

Business and Market Environment 

At Juniper Networks, we design, develop, and sell products and services for high-performance networks, which combine scale 
and performance with agility and efficiency, so customers can build the best networks for their businesses. Our routing, switching 
and security products address the high-performance networking requirements of global service providers, enterprises, governments, 
and research and public sector organizations that view the network as critical to their success. Our silicon, systems, and software 
represent innovations that transform the economics and experience of networking, helping customers achieve superior performance, 
greater choice, and flexibility, while reducing overall total cost of ownership.

We do business in three geographic regions: Americas, EMEA, and APAC. During 2013, we operated under two business segments: 
Platform Systems Division ("PSD") and Software Solutions Division ("SSD"). Our PSD segment primarily offers scalable routing 
and switching products that are used in service provider, enterprise, and public sector networks to control and direct network traffic 
between data centers, core, edge, aggregation, campus, Wide Area Networks ("WANs"), and consumer and business devices. Our 
SSD  segment  offers  solutions  focused  on  network  security  and  network  services  applications  for  both  service  providers  and 
enterprise customers. Both segments offer worldwide services, including technical support and professional services, as well as 
educational and training programs to our customers. During 2013, we realigned certain products from our PSD segment to our 
SSD segment in connection with our acquisition of Contrail Systems Inc ("Contrail"). In addition, we consolidated operational 
oversight and management of all security products within the SSD segment. As a result of this product realignment, security 
products previously reported in the PSD segment (including the Branch SRX, Branch Firewall, and J Series product families) are 
now reported in the SSD segment. We reclassified the segment data for the prior years to conform to the current year presentation. 
We believe these changes provide investors with increased financial reporting transparency and enable better insight into the 
market and performance trends driving our business. 

During 2013, we saw revenue growth in both our service provider and enterprise markets as well as a shift in product mix towards 
edge routing, switching and data center solutions. We continue to remain focused on turning around the security business as 
customers build High-IQ networks and cloud environments. Further, we believe that we are experiencing an improving but still 
uncertain  global  macroeconomic  environment  in  which  our  customers  exercise  care  and  conservatism  in  their  investment 
prioritization and project deployments. We expect that our customers will remain thoughtful with their capital spending. We believe 
our product gross margins may decline in the future due to competitive pricing pressures, which may be offset by additional 
operational improvements and cost efficiencies. Nevertheless, we are focused on executing our strategy to address the market 
trends of mobile Internet and cloud computing and we continue to believe there are positive long-term fundamentals for high-
performance networking, including High-IQ networking, as well as cloud environments for data centers.

We continued to invest in innovation and strengthening our product portfolio, which resulted in new product offerings during 
2013, including a series of new products for the enterprise campus and data center infrastructures, including the EX9200 Ethernet 
Switch, a programmable core switch, to support emerging applications and growing workloads. Additionally, we enhanced our 
MX Series portfolio with the release of the MX104, the MX2010, and the MX2020, service provider edge routers designed for 
rapid service delivery and application enablement. We also released the world's smallest Supercore, the PTX3000, to address the 
scale and flexibility challenges facing service providers as they converge their networks to optimize their business. Furthermore, 
to help enterprise organizations and service providers address the challenges associated with managing multiple, geographically 
dispersed data centers, we unveiled MetaFabric, a new architecture for next generation data centers. MetaFabric simplifies and 
accelerates the deployment and delivery of applications within and across multiple data center locations.

We also announced the availability of Juniper Networks Contrail, a standards-based and highly scalable network virtualization 
and intelligence solution for SDN and introduced OpenContrail, a new initiative that makes the source code library for Contrail 
available through an open source license, which we believe will help to foster innovation in SDN. We also announced enhancements 
to the SDN-ready MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router portfolio that significantly expands system capacity, subscriber bandwidth 
and service performance. 

During 2013, we initiated a restructuring plan (the "2013 Restructuring Plan") to continue to improve our cost structure and 
rationalize our product portfolio and rebalance our investments. The 2013 Restructuring Plan consists of workforce reductions, 
contract terminations, and project cancellations of which $28.3 million were recorded in 2013. We were not able to achieve the 
full benefit of our cost savings goal of $100.0 million in 2013. See Note 9, Restructuring and Other Charges, in Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, for further discussion of our restructuring activities. 

In February 2014, we announced an integrated operating plan ("IOP") to refocus the Company on innovation that matters most 
to service providers and enterprises where demand for High-IQ Networks and best-in-class cloud environments are driving growth. 
The IOP strategy capitalizes upon our engineering expertise across routing, switching, security, control and network management 
to align our focus to become a leading provider of secure High-IQ Networks while serving the needs of Cloud Builders. Through 
the execution of the IOP, we plan to coalesce our engineering talent, go-to-market teams and R&D around this strategy resulting 
in streamlined operations and business portfolio and operational efficiencies. As we implement the IOP, it is possible that our 
segments may change.

________________________________
(*)   DSO and book-to-bill are for the fourth quarter ended 2013, 2012, and 2011. 

•  Net Revenues: During 2013, compared to 2012, we experienced net revenue growth in the Americas, in both service 
provider and enterprise, offset by declines in revenue in APAC and EMEA. The year-over-year increase in our net revenues 
during 2013 was primarily due to increases in edge routing, switching, and services, partially offset by a decline in our 
security products.

•  Gross Margin: Our gross margin as a percentage of net revenues increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to 
higher restructuring and other charges recorded in 2012, partially offset by higher inventory provisions in 2013 for legacy 
platforms.

•  Operating Income: Our operating income as a percentage of revenues increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily 
due to growth in net revenues. Also contributing to the increase in operating income were lower restructuring and other 
charges of $52.2 million compared to 2012. 

• 

Stock Repurchase Plan Activity: Under our stock repurchase programs, we repurchased approximately 28.9 million shares 
of our common stock in the open market at an average price of $19.76 per share for an aggregate purchase of $570.6 
million during the year ended December 31, 2013.

•  Operating Cash Flows: Operating cash flows increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher net income, 
the timing of payments to our vendors, higher deferred revenue, and lower taxes paid, partially offset by the timing of 
payments for incentive compensation to our employees and the timing of receipts from our customers.

Table of Contents

•  DSO: DSO is calculated as the ratio of ending accounts receivable, net of allowances, divided by average daily net sales 
for the preceding 90 days. DSO for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 increased by 6 days, or 17% compared to the 
quarter ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to large multi-year service renewals at the end of the 
period which increased our outstanding receivables compared to the same period in 2012. DSO for the quarter ended 
December 31, 2012 decreased 11 days, or 24% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was 
primarily due to shipment linearity, resulting in a greater proportion of the periods shipments converted to cash by the 
end of the period and an increase in collections on our outstanding receivables.

•  Book-to-Bill: Book-to-bill represents the ratio of product orders booked divided by product revenues during the respective 
period.  Book-to-bill  was  greater  than  one  for  both  the  quarters  ended  December 31,  2013  and  December 31,  2012 
indicating strong product demand, and one for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

•  Deferred  Revenue:  Total  deferred  revenue  increased  $145.9  million  to  $1,069.3  million  as  of  December  31,  2013, 
compared to $923.4 million as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase in deferred service revenue driven by 
the execution of several multi-year support agreements, and to a lesser extent an increase in annual agreement renewals, 
slightly offset by a decrease in deferred product revenue. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments, 
assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. 
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales returns, pricing credits, warranty costs, allowance 
for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-term assets, especially goodwill and intangible assets, contract manufacturer exposures 
for carrying and obsolete material charges, assumptions used in the valuation of share-based compensation, and litigation. We 
base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable 
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities 
that are not readily apparent from other sources. For further information about our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, 
Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, which describes 
the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounting 
policies described below are significantly affected by critical accounting estimates. Such accounting policies require significant 
judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and actual results could 
differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies. To the extent there are material differences between our 
estimates and the actual results, our future consolidated results of operations may be affected. 

•  Goodwill. We make significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments when valuing goodwill and other intangible assets 
in connection with the initial purchase price allocation of an acquired entity, as well as when evaluating impairment of 
goodwill and other intangible assets on an ongoing basis. These estimates are based upon a number of factors, including 
historical experience, market conditions, and information obtained from the management of the acquired company. Critical 
estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, historical and projected customer retention 
rates, anticipated growth in revenue from the acquired customer and product base, and the expected use of the acquired 
assets. These factors are also considered in determining the useful life of the acquired intangible assets. The amounts and 
useful lives assigned to identified intangible assets impacts the amount and timing of future amortization expense. 

We evaluate goodwill on an annual basis as of November 1st or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances 
change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting units below their carrying amount. Goodwill 
is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below our operating segment level, by comparing 
the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill, to  the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the 
reporting units are estimated using significant judgment based on a combination of the income and the market approaches. 
Under the income approach, we estimate fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of forecasted future 
cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate over its remaining life. Under the market approach, we estimate 
fair value of our reporting units based on an analysis that compares the value of the reporting units to values of publicly-
traded companies in similar lines of business. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the carrying value of 
the net assets assigned to the reporting unit, then we perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine 
the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. When the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its 
implied fair value, we record an impairment loss equal to the difference. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit 
is  highly  judgmental  in  nature  and  involves  the  use  of  significant  estimates  and  assumptions.  These  estimates  and 
assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, operating 
trends, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions and determination of appropriate market 
comparables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and 

36

 
Table of Contents

inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. In addition, we make certain judgments and 
assumptions in allocating shared assets and liabilities to determine the carrying values for each of our reporting units. As 
of December 31, 2013, goodwill recorded for our PSD segment and SSD segment was $1,616.6 million and $2,441.1 
million,  respectively. The  fair  value  of  our  reporting  units,  in  particular  SSD,  are  sensitive  to  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances, such as adverse changes in operating results or macro-economic conditions, changes in management's 
business strategy, or declines in our stock price. A hypothetical 5% decrease in the estimated fair value of our reporting 
units would result in the fair value of our SSD segment to be equal to its carrying value. See Item 1A of Part I, "Risk 
Factors," for more information.

• 

Inventory Valuation and Contract Manufacturer Liabilities. Inventory consists primarily of component parts to be used 
in the manufacturing process and is stated at lower of average cost or market. A provision is recorded when inventory is 
determined to be in excess of anticipated demand or obsolete, to adjust inventory to its estimated realizable value. In 
determining the provision, we also consider estimated recovery rates based on the nature of the inventory. As of December 
31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our inventory balances were $52.7 million and $57.2 million, respectively.

We establish a liability for non-cancelable, non-returnable purchase commitments with our contract manufacturers for 
quantities in excess of our demand forecasts or obsolete materials charges for components purchased by the contract 
manufacturers based on our demand forecasts or customer orders. We also take estimated recoveries of aged inventory 
into  consideration  when  determining  the  liability. As  of  December  31,  2013  and  December  31,  2012,  our  contract 
manufacturer liabilities were $22.9 million and $27.7 million, respectively.

Significant judgment is used in establishing our forecasts of future demand, recovery rates based on the nature and age 
of inventory, and obsolete material exposures. We perform a detailed analysis and review of data used in establishing our 
demand forecasts. If the actual component usage and product demand are significantly lower than forecast, which may 
be caused by factors within and outside of our control, or if there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence 
because of rapidly changing technology and our customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory 
write-downs  and  contract  manufacturer  liabilities,  which  could  have  an  adverse  impact  on  our  gross  margins  and 
profitability. We regularly evaluate our exposure for inventory write-downs and adequacy of our contract manufacturer 
liabilities. Inventory and supply chain management remains an area of focus as we balance the risk of material obsolescence 
and supply chain flexibility in order to reduce lead times. 

•  Revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence 
of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is 
reasonably assured. We enter into contracts to sell our products and services, and while some of our sales agreements 
contain standard terms and conditions, there are agreements that contain multiple elements or non-standard terms and 
conditions. As  a  result,  significant  contract  interpretation  may  be  required  to  determine  the  appropriate  accounting, 
including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of 
accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and, if so, how the price should be allocated among the elements and when 
to recognize revenue for each element. Changes in the allocation of the sales price between elements may impact the 
timing of revenue recognition but will not change the total revenue recognized on the contract. 

Under our revenue recognition policies, we allocate revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The 
selling  price  for  a  deliverable  is  based  on  our  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. We 
establish VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately. TPE of selling price is 
established by evaluating largely interchangeable competitor products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly situated 
customers.  ESP  is  established  considering  internal  factors  such  as  margin  objectives,  pricing  practices  and  controls, 
customer segment pricing strategies and product life cycle. Consideration is also given to market conditions such as 
industry pricing strategies and technology life cycles. When determining ESP, we apply management judgment to establish 
margin objectives and pricing strategies and to evaluate market conditions and product life cycles. We do not use TPE 
as we do not consider our products to be similar or interchangeable to our competitors' products in standalone sales to 
similarly situated customers. Revenue from maintenance service contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the 
contractual support period, which is generally one to three years. We applied ESP to the majority of our product revenue 
and VSOE to our service revenue in 2013, 2012, and 2011. 

• 

Income Taxes. We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment 
is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our taxes. Although we believe our reserves are 
reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is 
reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and 

37

Table of Contents

circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome 
of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the 
period in which such determination is made.

Significant judgment is also required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In 
assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates 
of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as 
to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding 
impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than 
anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates; by 
changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; by expiration of or lapses in the R&D tax credit laws; 
by transfer pricing adjustments, including the effect of acquisitions on our intercompany R&D cost-sharing arrangement 
and legal structure; by tax effects of nondeductible compensation; by tax costs related to intercompany realignments; by 
changes in accounting principles; or by changes in tax laws and regulations, including possible U.S. changes to the taxation 
of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, the deductibility of expenses attributable to foreign income, or the foreign tax 
credit rules. Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement attributes prescribed in the 
accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes applies 
to all income tax positions, including the potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could 
adversely affect our provision for income taxes or additional paid-in capital. In addition, we are subject to the continuous 
examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities. We regularly 
assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision 
for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these continuous examinations will not have an 
adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

• 

Loss Contingencies. We use significant judgment and assumptions to estimate the likelihood of loss or impairment of an 
asset, or the incurrence of a liability, in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when 
it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably 
estimated. We record a charge equal to the minimum estimated liability for litigation costs or a loss contingency only 
when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of our consolidated financial 
statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the 
financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information 
available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

2013 Compared to 2012

The increase in product revenues in 2013, compared to 2012, was primarily due to an increase in the volume of sales of our edge 
routing products and switching products to both service provider and enterprise customers, reflecting customer demand for high-
performance networking, such as High-IQ networks, and cloud environments for data centers. Also contributing to the increase 
in product revenues was new product introductions for the enterprise campus and data center infrastructures, partially offset by a 
decrease in sales of our security products.  

The increase in service revenue in 2013, compared to 2012, was primarily driven by strong contract renewals from our installed 
base across our routing, switching, and security products.

2012 Compared to 2011

The decrease in product revenues in 2012, compared to 2011, was primarily due to a decline in sales of our core and edge routing, 
and firewall products, partially offset by an increase in our switching and high-end SRX products. 

The increase in service revenues in 2012, compared to 2011, was primarily driven by strong contract renewals for certain edge 
routing, switching and security products.

Market

We sell our high-performance network products and service offerings from both our PSD and SSD segments to two primary 
markets:  service  provider  and  enterprise.  Determination  of  which  market  a  particular  revenue  transaction  relates  to  is  based 
primarily upon the customer's industrial classification code, but may also include subjective factors such as the intended use of 
the product. The service provider market generally includes wireline and wireless carriers, and cable operators, as well as major 
Internet content and application providers, including those that provide social networking and search engine services. The enterprise 
market generally is comprised of businesses; federal, state, and local governments; financial services; and research and education 
institutions.

2013 Compared to 2012

Net revenues from sales to the service provider market increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to an increase in sales 
to content providers and cable providers in the Americas, partially offset by a slight decrease in sales with wireless carriers, while 
the service provider market in EMEA and APAC was relatively flat. In addition, service provider demand for switching and data 
center solutions in 2013 was stronger than in 2012.

Net revenues from the enterprise market increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to broad-based growth in the Americas 
enterprise market, as well as recognition of a large U.S. federal government contract, partially offset by weaker demand in APAC 
and EMEA.

2012 Compared to 2011

Net revenues from sales to the service provider market decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to reduced routing 
purchases by some of our international and content service providers, partially offset by strong growth from large service providers 
in the Americas.

Net revenues generated from the enterprise market decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to lower revenue in federal 
and financial services, offset by our expanding presence in APAC and EMEA. 

Customer

No customer accounted for greater than 10% of our net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2011. During the 
year ended December 31, 2012, Verizon accounted for 10.3% of our net revenues.

2013 Compared to 2012

Net revenues in the Americas increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to an increase in revenues from both the service 
provider and enterprise markets. The increase in service provider revenues was due to an increase in sales to content providers 
and cable providers, partially offset by a slight decrease in sales to carriers. The increase in enterprise revenues in 2013, compared 
to 2012, was primarily attributable to a broad-based improvement in customer demand as well as the recognition of a large U.S. 
federal government contract. 

Net revenues in EMEA decreased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to a decline in revenues in the enterprise market 
attributable to certain large sales in 2012. 

Net revenues in APAC decreased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to lower revenues in enterprise resulting from weaker 
conditions in the China enterprise market. Service provider revenues were relatively flat as a decline in sales with certain large 
service providers in Japan were offset by higher revenue with certain large carriers in China. Additionally, the recognition of 
revenue from a large service provider in Singapore was offset by declines in revenues from certain service providers in APAC.

2012 Compared to 2011

Net revenues in the Americas increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to increased sales in the United States to certain 
service providers, offset by a decline in the enterprise market particularly among federal and financial services customers. 

Net revenues in EMEA decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to decreased sales in Western and Southern Europe, 
which we believe was a result of the challenging economic climate in those areas. The decrease was partially offset by increased 
revenues in the Middle East and from a top service provider in Eastern Europe, across a broad range of our product portfolio.

Net revenues in APAC decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to a decrease in sales to a certain service provider

2013 Compared to 2012

Product gross margin percentage increased slightly in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher restructuring and other 
charges recorded in 2012, partially offset by higher inventory provisions in 2013 for legacy platforms. Product gross margin 
benefited from cost reductions in the supply chain in 2013, which more than offset the impact of higher pricing discounts. 

Service gross margin increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher service revenues and greater efficiency in the 
delivery of services.

2012 Compared to 2011

Product gross margin percentage decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to a $44.3 million inventory charge related 
to component inventory held in excess of forecasted demand and to an intangible asset impairment charge of $16.1 million related 
to our 2012 restructuring activities. To a lesser extent, the decrease was due to an increase in the size and number of strategic 
contracts with lower margins and to a shift in product mix to lower margin products.

Service gross margin increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to higher service revenues, combined with a continuing 
focus on operational improvements and cost efficiencies.

Our operating expenses have historically been driven by personnel-related costs, including wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation, 
benefits, share-based compensation, and travel, and we expect this trend to continue. Facility and information technology (“IT”) 
departmental costs are allocated to other departments based on usage and headcount. Facility and IT related headcount was 396, 
368, and 375, as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. We had a total of 9,483, 9,234, and 9,129 employees as of 
December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 

We expect to initiate a substantial cost reduction plan in connection with the IOP accomplished through various restructuring 
activities resulting in annualized operating expense savings of $160 million across research and development, sales and marking 
and general and administrative expenses. We are not able to make a reasonable estimate of future restructuring costs associated 
with the IOP.

2013 Compared to 2012

Research and development expense decreased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to lower depreciation expense of $28.3 
million attributable to the extended useful lives of computers and equipment in 2013 as well as lower prototype development costs 
of $18.6 million. In addition, outside services, facilities, and IT costs decreased related to the cancellation of certain projects and 
facility closures. The decrease in research and development expense was partially offset by increases in personnel-related expenses 
primarily attributable to higher share-based compensation expense, and to a lesser extent, higher variable compensation. Research 
and development headcount increased 1% from 4,081 as of December 31, 2012 to 4,135 as of December 31, 2013. Additionally, 
we continued to shift headcount to lower cost regions.

Sales and marketing expense increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher personnel-related expenses related to 
an increase in commission expense driven by improved sales achievement, partially offset by lower share-based compensation 
expense and lower outside service and travel due to our cost reduction efforts and creating efficiency in our sales activities. Sales 
and marketing headcount decreased 2% from 2,680 as of December 31, 2012 to 2,626 as of December 31, 2013 as a result of our 
restructuring activities.

General and administrative expense increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher litigation costs. The increase 
in general and administrative expense was partially offset by lower personnel-related expenses, primarily share-based compensation 
expense. General and administrative headcount increased 6% from 486 as of December 31, 2012 to 513 as of December 31, 2013 
to support our finance-related initiatives, including our ERP implementation.

Restructuring and other charges decreased in 2013, compared to 2012, due to higher charges recorded in 2012 in connection with 
our 2012 Restructuring Plan. During 2013, we implemented the 2013 Restructuring Plan and incurred restructuring charges of 
$39.1 million related to workforce reductions, contract terminations, project cancellations, and facility closures in connection with 
our plans. In connection with our 2013 Restructuring Plan, we expect to record aggregate future charges of up to $2.0 million 
related to severance charges. See Note 9, Restructuring and Other Charges, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in 
Item 8 of Part II of this Report, for further discussion of our restructuring activities. 

2012 Compared to 2011

Research and development expense increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to an increase in engineering program 
costs driven by new product initiatives in the first half of the year in addition to higher variable compensation. Our research and 
development headcount decreased by 1% as of December 31, 2012, to 4,081 compared to 4,138 as of December 31, 2011, as a 
result of our restructuring activities in the second half of 2012. 

Sales and marketing expense increased slightly in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to an increase in personnel-related 
expenses from a 4% increase in headcount from 2,568 employees as of December 31, 2011 to 2,680 employees as of December 
31, 2012, as well as higher demo costs associated with bringing new products to market. These increases were partially offset by 
lower commissions and a decrease in outside services. 

General and administrative expense increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to an increase in outside professional 
services, which consists of legal and consulting fees to support our finance-related initiatives, including our ERP implementation. 
The increase in general and administrative expense was also attributable to the increase in general and administrative headcount 
which increased 5% from 463 as of December 31, 2011 to 486 as of December 31, 2012. 

42

Table of Contents

Restructuring and other charges increased in 2012, compared to 2011, due to the 2012 Restructuring Plan initiated in the third 
quarter of 2012 to bring our cost structure in line with our desired long-term financial and strategic model. To a lesser extent, we 
also incurred charges related to a restructuring plan (the "2011 Restructuring Plan") implemented in the third quarter of 2011 to 
align  our  business  operations  with  macroeconomic  and  other  market  conditions.  During  2012,  we  incurred  $46.8  million  of 
restructuring and other charges related to our restructuring plans primarily for workforce reductions and facility closures.

Share-Based Compensation 

Share-based compensation expense associated with equity incentive awards ("awards"), which include stock options, restricted 
stock units ("RSUs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and performance share awards ("PSAs"), as well as our Employee Stock

2013 Compared to 2012

Share-based compensation expense remained consistent in 2013, compared to 2012. Offsetting increases in expense related to 
RSAs assumed in connection with our acquisition of Contrail at the end of 2012 were decreases in actual shares vested and a 
decline in grant date fair values due to our lower stock prices.

2012 Compared to 2011

Share-based compensation expense increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to a higher number of RSU awards granted 
as well as a change in standard vesting terms from four years to three years for those RSU awards granted in 2012. This increase 
was partially offset by a decrease in stock options grants valued at a lower fair value and a decrease in expense associated with 
PSAs due to lower achievement of performance targets.

Other Expense, Net

Interest income primarily includes interest income from our cash, cash equivalents, and investments. Interest expense primarily 
includes interest, net of capitalized interest expense from our long-term debt and customer financing arrangements. Other typically 
consists of investment and foreign exchange gains and losses and other non-operational income and expense items. 

43

 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

2013 Compared to 2012

Interest income decreased in 2013, compared to 2012, due to lower cash balances and interest rates, as well as a shift to certain 
investments yielding lower interest.

Interest expense increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher capitalized interest in 2012 resulting from our 
phased campus build-out.

Other  expense  was  lower  in  2013,  compared  to  2012,  due  to  higher  net  gains  recorded  in  2012  related  to  our  privately-held 
investments which included a $14.7 million gain from the acquisition of our privately-held investment in Contrail.

2012 Compared to 2011

Interest income increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to a higher balance of long-term investments yielding higher 
interest. 

Interest expense increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to the issuance of $1.0 billion of our senior notes (the "Notes") 
near the end of the first quarter of 2011 and related interest expense of $40.0 million, net of capitalized interest. 

In 2012, we recognized gains in Other of $45.5 million, including a gain of $14.7 million from the acquisition of our privately-
held investment in Contrail, and impairment losses of $20.0 million included in Other, related to our privately-held investments. 
In 2011, Other included certain legal expenses unrelated to current or recent operations of approximately $7.0 million.

Income Tax Provision

The effective rate for 2013 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the benefit of the federal research 
and development ("R&D") credit, a tax settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), recognition of domestic production 
activities deductions, and earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which are subject to lower tax rates.

The effective tax rate for 2012 was substantially similar to the federal statutory rate of 35%. The increase in the overall effective 
tax rate for 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the effect of changes in foreign earnings and the exclusion of the benefit 
for the federal R&D credit which expired on December 31, 2011. 

The effective tax rate for 2011 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the federal R&D credit and the 
benefit of earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which are subject to lower tax rates.

Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are 
lower than anticipated in countries that have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher statutory 
rates. Our effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by 
changes in tax laws, regulations, or accounting principles, as well as certain discrete items. As a result of the expiration of the 
federal research and development credit on December 31, 2013, we expect our effective tax rate to increase in 2014. See Item1A 
of Part I, "Risk Factors" of this Report for a description of relevant risks which may adversely affect our results.

For a complete reconciliation of our effective tax rate to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and further explanation of our 
income tax provision, see Note 14, Income Taxes, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report.

Segments, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement in Item 8 of this Report.

2013 Compared to 2012

PSD product revenues increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher revenue from edge routing and switching 
products, specifically due to the growth in MX, PTX, EX, and QFabric product families as result of new products and enhancements 
for the enterprise campus and data center infrastructures.

A majority of our service revenues are earned from customers that purchase our products and enter into contracts for support 
services. PSD service revenues increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to strong contract renewals for support services.  

PSD contribution margin as a percent of PSD revenues increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to a combination of 
revenue growth and lower operating expenses.

2012 Compared to 2011

PSD product revenues decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, due to the decline in sales of our core and edge routing products. 
The decline in sales was primarily attributable to lower spending by international customers and by content service provider 
customers in Americas, partially offset by an increase in sales of our switching products. PSD service revenues increased in 2012, 
compared to 2011, primarily due to strong contract renewals for support services.  

PSD contribution margin as a percent of PSD revenues decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to a decline in revenues. 
The decrease was also attributable to a shift in product mix to lower margin products and higher prototype development costs in 
2012. The decrease in contribution margin was partially offset by reduced costs as a result of a continuing focus on operational 
improvements and cost efficiencies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement in Item 8 of this Report.

2013 Compared to 2012

SSD product revenues decreased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to a decline in sales of security products, driven by 
lower demand for high-end SRX products by service providers. Revenues from branch SRX security products improved slightly 
in 2013, compared to 2012. SSD service revenues increased in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily driven by strong contract 
renewals for support services.

SSD contribution margin as a percentage of SSD revenues decreased in 2013, compared to 2012, due to lower revenue and a 
decrease in gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses. 

2012 Compared to 2011

SSD product revenues decreased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to a decline in the sales of our high-end and branch 
firewall products and routing services products, partially offset by an increase in sales of our high-end SRX products. SSD service 
revenues increased in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily driven by strong contract renewals for support services.

SSD contribution margin as a percentage of SSD revenues remained relatively stable in 2012, compared to 2011, due to a shift in 
product mix to lower margin products offset by reduced costs as a result of our continued focus on operational improvements and 
cost efficiencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable, 
reduced by accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and short-term deferred revenue. Working capital increased by $83.8 million 
during the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in current assets, primarily accounts receivable and short-
term investments, and lower accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. 

Summary of Cash Flows

As of December 31, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $123.8 million from December 31, 2012 primarily due to 
cash used in our investing and financing activities related to the repurchase of our common stock, purchase of investments, and 
capital expenditures.

Operating Activities

2013 Compared to 2012

Cash flows from operations increased by $199.9 million in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to higher consolidated net 
income, the timing of payments to our vendors, higher deferred revenue, and lower taxes paid, partially offset by the timing of 
payments for incentive compensation to our employees and the timing of collections on our outstanding receivables.

2012 Compared to 2011

Cash flow from operations decreased by $344.3 million in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to lower consolidated net income, 
higher taxes paid, timing of payments to our vendors, and a decrease in deferred revenue, offset by the timing of collections of 
our outstanding receivables.

Investing Activities

2013 Compared to 2012

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $32.3 million in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to lower spending on 
acquisitions and asset purchases as well as lower capital expenditures as we completed our phased campus build-out, partially 
offset by higher purchases of investments.

2012 Compared to 2011

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $110.5 million in 2012, compared to 2011, primarily due to fewer purchases of 
investments, offset by higher spending on asset purchases, property and equipment, and acquisitions. During 2011, we invested 
the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes in available-for-sale securities and purchased property and equipment for the phased 
campus build-out of our corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA. 

Financing Activities

2013 Compared to 2012

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $146.6 million in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily due to lower purchases 
and retirement of our common stock, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from employee stock option exercises as well as 
proceeds from customer financing arrangements.

2012 Compared to 2011

Net cash used in financing activities was $548.3 million in 2012 and net cash provided by financing activities was $819.0 million 
in 2011. The change from 2011 to 2012 was primarily due to the issuance of the Notes in 2011 and an increase in purchases and 
retirement of common stock and fewer proceeds from employee stock option exercises in 2012. 

Stock Repurchase Activities and Dividends

In July 2013, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a stock repurchase program that authorized us to repurchase up to 
$1.0 billion of our common stock from time to time at management's discretion. The authorization was in addition to the $1.0 
billion stock repurchase program approved by our Board and announced in June 2012 and the $1.0 billion stock repurchase program 
approved by the Board in February 2010. As of December 31, 2013, there was $997.7 million of authorized funds remaining under 
our stock repurchase programs. 

As part of our IOP announced in February 2014, we committed to return a minimum of $3.0 billion to shareholders over the next 
three years through a combination of share repurchases and dividends. As part of this plan, the Board of Directors has authorized 
$2.0 billion in share repurchases to be executed through the end of the first quarter of 2015, including $1.2 billion through an 
accelerated share repurchase program to be entered into during the first quarter of 2014. We will also initiate a quarterly cash 
dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock beginning in the third quarter of 2014, with the expectation to increase the dividend 
over time. These activities will be funded by a combination of existing cash balances and debt offerings.

Deferred product revenue represents unrecognized revenue related to shipments to distributors that have not sold through to end-
users, undelivered product commitments, and other shipments that have not met all revenue recognition criteria. Deferred product 
revenue is recorded net of the related costs of product revenue. Deferred service revenue represents customer payments made in 
advance for services, which include technical support, hardware and software maintenance, professional services, and training.

As of December 31, 2013, net deferred product revenue decreased $50.9 million to $245.0 million, compared to $295.9 million 
as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to strong channel sales resulting in lower ending channel inventory and the timing of 
future feature releases. As of December 31, 2013, the increase in deferred service revenue of $196.8 million attributed the execution 
of several multi-year support agreements, and to a lesser extent an increase in annual agreement renewals. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such 
as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose 
of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. It is not our business practice to 
enter  into  off-balance  sheet  arrangements.  However,  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  we  enter  into  contracts  consisting  of 
guarantees of product and service performance, guarantees related to third-party customer-financing arrangements, customs and 
duties guarantees, and standby letters of credit for certain lease facilities. See Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, in Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report for additional information regarding our guarantees.

Contractual Obligations 

Our principal commitments consist of obligations outstanding under operating leases, purchase commitments, debt, and other 
contractual obligations. The following table summarizes our principal contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 and the

As of December 31, 2013, we had $114.4 million included in long-term income taxes payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets 
for unrecognized tax positions. At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments related 
to this amount due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes. As a result, this amount is not included in the table above.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements 

Liquidity and capital resources may be impacted by our operating activities as well as acquisitions and investments in strategic 
relationships that we have made or we may make in the future. 

In August 2013, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC to replace our previous shelf registration statement, 
which expired pursuant to SEC rules in September 2013. The August 2013 automatic shelf registration statement enables us to 
offer for sale, from time to time, an unspecified amount of securities in one or more offerings and is intended to give us flexibility 
to take advantage of financing opportunities as needed or deemed desirable in light of market conditions. Any offerings of securities 
under the automatic shelf registration statement will be made pursuant to a prospectus.

We have been focused on managing our annual equity usage as a percentage of our common stock outstanding to align with peer 
group competitive levels and have made changes in recent years to reduce the number of shares underlying the equity awards we 
grant. Our intention for 2013 was to target the number of shares underlying equity awards granted on an annual basis at 2.75% or 
less of our common stock outstanding on a pure share basis (where each option, RSU, RSA or PSA granted is counted as one 
share). Based upon shares underlying our grants to date of options, RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs, we achieved the goal for 2013. In 
2013, we repurchased 28.9 million at a cost of $570.6 million, and expect to continue to calibrate our buybacks in future quarters 
with market conditions at the time. We have also managed our equity compensation programs to reduce the overall number of 
shares subject to outstanding awards over the past two years. We have reduced the use of stock options in our equity compensation 
programs. The total number of common shares subject to our outstanding awards in connection with Juniper plans was 43.8 million, 
54.2 million, and 58.2 million shares as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, reflecting a consecutive decline for 
the three years ended December 31, 2013. 

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term, and long-
term  investments,  together  with  cash  generated  from  operations  and  access  to  capital  markets  will  be  sufficient  to  fund  our 
operations, IOP, and anticipated growth for at least the next twelve months. We believe our working capital is sufficient to meet 
our liquidity requirements for capital expenditures, commitments, and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing 
operations during the same period. However, our future liquidity and capital requirements may vary materially from those now 
planned depending on many factors, including, but not limited to:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

level and mix of our product, sales, and gross profit margins;

volume price discounts and customer rebates;

accounts receivable levels that we maintain;

acquisitions and/or funding of other businesses, assets, products, or technologies;

changes in our compensation policies;

global credit and financial markets, international conflicts, and related uncertainties.

Further,  we  cannot  provide  any  assurance  that  additional  sources  of  capital,  including  debt,  will  be  available  to  us  on  terms 
acceptable to us or at all.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk 

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. The value of our investments is subject to market 
price volatility. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, 60% of our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were held 
outside of the U.S. Our marketable securities are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our 
Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other 
comprehensive income. These investments are also reviewed to identify and evaluate indications of potential other-than-temporary 
impairments as discussed in Note 4, Cash Equivalents and Investments, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 
of Part II of this Report. 

At any time, a rise in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Conversely, 
a decline in interest rates could have a material impact on interest income from our investment portfolio. We do not currently 
hedge these interest rate exposures. We recognized immaterial gains and losses during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 
and 2011, related to the sales of our investments. 

The  following  tables  present  hypothetical  changes  in  fair  value  of  our  available-for-sale  fixed  income  securities  held  as  of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (in millions):

These instruments are not leveraged and are held for purposes other than trading. The modeling technique used measures the 
changes in fair value arising from selected potential changes in interest rates. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical 
parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 50 basis points (“BPS”), 100 BPS, and 150 BPS, which are representative of the 
historical movements in the Federal Funds Rate.

Foreign Currency Risk and Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts 

Periodically,  we  use  derivatives  to  hedge  against  fluctuations  in  foreign  exchange  rates. We  do  not  enter  into  derivatives  for 
speculative or trading purposes.  

We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate variability in gains and losses generated from the re-measurement of certain 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes 
recorded in other expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the changes in the fair value 
from the re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. These foreign exchange contracts have maturities of one year or 
less. 

Our sales and costs of product revenues are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our cost of service revenue and operating 
expenses are denominated in U.S. Dollars as well as other foreign currencies including the British Pound, the Euro, Indian Rupee, 
and Japanese Yen. Approximately 76% of such costs and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Periodically, we 
use foreign currency forward and/or option contracts to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency transactions to reduce variability 
in cost of service revenue and operating expenses caused by non-U.S. Dollar denominated operating expense and costs. In designing 
a specific hedging approach, we consider several factors, including offsetting exposures, significance of exposures, costs associated 
with entering into a particular hedge instrument, and potential effectiveness of the hedge. These derivatives are designated as cash 
flow hedges and have 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 and, upon occurrence of the forecasted transaction, is subsequently 
reclassified into the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to which the hedged transaction relates. We record the 
ineffectiveness of the hedging instruments, which was immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 
respectively, in other expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in operating expenses including 
cost of service revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, due to foreign 
currency fluctuations was approximately an increase of 0.8% and 1.5% and a decrease of 1% in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012, using a modeling technique that 
measures the change in the amount of non-U.S. dollar cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities arising from a hypothetical 
10% movement in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. 
The foreign currency exchange rates we used were based on market rates in effect on December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 
respectively. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10% movement in foreign currency exchange rates would change 
the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities we would report in U.S. Dollars as of December 31, 2013 and 
December 31, 2012 by less than 1%.

Equity Price Risk 

Our portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities and our non-qualified deferred compensation (“NQDC”) plan, which may also 
hold publicly-traded equity securities, are inherently exposed to equity price risk as the stock market fluctuates. 

We do not purchase our publicly-traded equity securities, classified as available-for-sale securities on our Consolidated Balance 
Sheets,  for  speculative  purposes. As  of  December 31,  2013  and  December 31,  2012,  our  portfolio  of  publicly-traded  equity 
securities had an estimated fair value of $114.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively. A hypothetical 30% adverse change in the 
stock prices of our publicly-traded equity securities would result in a loss in the fair value of $34.5 million and $0.9 million as of 
December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Investments under the NQDC plan are considered trading securities and are also reported at fair value on our Consolidated Balance 
Sheets. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total investments under our NQDC plan were $15.4 million and 
$12.6 million, respectively. A hypothetical 30% adverse change on the total investments under the NQDC plan would result in a 
loss in the fair value of $4.6 million and $3.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. 

We have also invested in privately-held companies. These investments are carried at cost. In 2013, 2012, and 2011 we recorded 
impairment charges of $2.8 million, $20.0 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, on our investments in privately-held companies 
that we judged to be other than temporary as discussed in Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, in Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report. The aggregate cost of our investments in privately-held companies was $57.2 million 
and $32.0 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Juniper Networks, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Juniper Networks, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed 
in the Index at Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of Juniper Networks, Inc., at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles. 
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken 
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
Juniper Networks, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (1992 
Framework) and our report dated February 25, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Juniper Networks, Inc. 

We have audited Juniper Networks, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria 
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (1992 Framework) (the COSO criteria). Juniper Networks, Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective 
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting 
included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control 
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control 
over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating 
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in 
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain 
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are 
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Juniper Networks, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as 
of December 31, 2013 based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 
consolidated balance sheets of Juniper Networks, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and 2012 and the related consolidated statements 
of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 2013, of Juniper Networks, Inc. and our report dated February 25, 2014, expressed and unqualified opinion 
thereon.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

The management of Juniper Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal 
control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Company's  principal  executive  and  principal  financial  officers  to  provide  reasonable  assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; 
(ii) provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in 
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have 
a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based 
on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal 
Control - Integrated Framework as published in 1992. In May 2013, COSO released a new framework which companies could 
adopt in 2013. The Company will adopt this framework in 2014. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of 
December 31, 2013, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective. 

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by Ernst & 
Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audits the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, as 
stated in their report preceding this report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal 
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

Juniper Networks, Inc. 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Juniper Networks, Inc. (the “Company” or “Juniper”) designs, develops, and sells products and services for high-performance 
networks, which combine scale and performance with agility and efficiency, so customers can build the best networks for their 
businesses.  The  Company  serves  the  high-performance  networking  requirements  of  global  service  providers,  enterprises, 
governments, and research and public sector organizations that view the network as critical to their success.

Basis of Presentation 

The Consolidated Financial Statements, which include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are prepared in accordance 
with  U.S. generally  accepted  accounting  principles  (“U.S. GAAP”). All  inter-company  balances  and  transactions  have  been 
eliminated. Certain amounts in the prior years' Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current 
year presentation.

During  2013,  the  Company  consolidated  operational  oversight  and  management  of  all  security  products  within  the  Software 
Solutions Division ("SSD") segment. As a result of this product realignment, security products previously reported in the Platform 
Systems Division ("PSD") segment (including the Branch SRX, Branch Firewall, and J Series product families) are now reported 
in the SSD segment. In addition, the Company realigned its Contrail products from the PSD segment to the SSD segment. The 
Company reclassified the segment data for the prior years to conform to the current year presentation. These changes did not 
impact previously reported consolidated net revenues, operating income, net income, and net income per share. See Note 13, 
Segments, for further discussion of the Company's product realignments.

The Company previously 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 was recorded for the noncontrolling investor's interests in the net assets 
and operations of the joint venture. In July 2011, NSN and the Company entered into an agreement to cease operation of and 
terminate the joint venture and subsequently NSN assumed the activities of the joint venture. The Company terminated the joint 
venture in 2013 and the termination did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits with banks, highly liquid investments in money market funds, 
commercial paper, government securities, certificates of deposit, and corporate debt securities, which are readily convertible into 
cash. All highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash 
equivalents.

Investments in Available-for-Sale and Trading Securities 

The Company's investments in publicly-traded debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale 
investments are initially recorded at cost and periodically adjusted to fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized 
gains and losses on these investments are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized 
gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in the Consolidated Statements of 
Operations.

The Company periodically evaluates its investments to determine if impairment charges are required. The Company considers 
various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time the investment has been 
in a loss position, the extent to which the fair value has been less than the Company's cost basis, the investment's financial condition, 
and near-term prospects of the investee. If the Company determines that the decline in an investment's fair value is other than 
temporary, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

62

Table of Contents

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company's non-qualified compensation plan is invested in mutual funds which are classified as trading securities and reported 
at  fair  value  in  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  The  realized  and  unrealized  holding  gains  and  losses  are  reported  in  the 
Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

Privately-Held Investments

The Company has privately-held investments, which are included in other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 
These investments are carried at cost, adjusted for any impairment, as the Company does not have a controlling interest and does 
not have the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies. These investments are inherently high risk as the market 
for technologies or products manufactured by these companies are usually in their early stages at the time of the investment by 
the Company and such markets may never be significant. The Company measures the fair value of privately-held investments 
using an analysis of the financial conditions and near term prospects of the investees, including recent financing activities and 
their capital structure. Realized gains and losses, if any, are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

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. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most 
advantageous market in which it transacts, and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset 
or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into 
three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the 
fair value measurement: 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – 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.

Derivatives 

The Company uses derivatives to partially offset its market exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. The Company 
does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. 

The Company uses foreign currency forward or option contracts to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency transactions relating 
to operating expenses. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. Execution of these cash flow hedge derivatives 
typically occurs every month with maturities of one year or less. These derivatives are carried at fair value and the effective portion 
of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and upon occurrence 
of the forecasted transaction, is subsequently reclassified into the costs of services or operating expense line item to which the 
hedged transaction relates. The Company records any ineffectiveness of the hedging instruments in other expense, net, on its 
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities. All amounts within 
other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

The  Company  also  uses  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  to  mitigate  variability  in  gains  and  losses  generated  from  the 
remeasurement 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 other expense, net in the 
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by remeasurement of the 
underlying assets and liabilities. Cash flows from such derivatives are classified as operating activities. These foreign exchange 
forward contracts have maturities of one year or less.

Inventory

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Inventory consists primarily of component parts to be used in the manufacturing process and is stated at the lower of cost or market. 
Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. A charge is recorded to cost of 
product when inventory is determined to be in excess of anticipated demand or considered obsolete. The point of loss recognition, 
a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the 
restoration or increase in the newly established cost basis.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line 
method, over the estimated useful lives of the following assets:

Computers, equipment, and software
Furniture and fixtures
Building and building improvements
Land improvements
Leasehold improvements

Estimated Useful Life (years)
3 to 5
5
7 to 40
10 to 40
Lease term, not to exceed 10 years

Construction in progress is related to the construction or development of property and equipment that have not yet been placed in 
service for their intended use. Depreciation for equipment commences once it is placed in service and depreciation for buildings 
and leasehold improvements commences once they are ready for their intended use.

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company extended the useful lives of certain computers and equipment based on actual historical 
usage, which demonstrated longer useful lives, as well as the planned use of these assets. The change was accounted for as a 
change in estimate and applied prospectively. During the year ended December 31, 2013, this change in accounting estimate 
decreased depreciation expense by approximately $28.3 million or $0.04 per diluted share.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination or an acquisition 
that are not individually identified and separately recorded. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net 
assets of businesses acquired in a business combination is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually 
during  the  fourth  quarter  or  more  frequently  if  certain  indicators  are  present.  Other  intangible  assets  acquired  in  a  business 
combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are assessed for potential impairment annually 
or when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might be impaired.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis at its reporting unit level, which may be one level below its 
operating segment level during the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if certain indicators are present. The fair value 
of the Company's reporting units is determined using both the income and market valuation approaches. Under the income approach, 
the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows that the reporting unit is expected 
to generate over its remaining life. Under the market approach, the value of the reporting unit is based on an analysis that compares 
the value of the reporting unit to values of publicly traded companies in similar lines of business. In the application of the income 
and market valuation approaches, the Company is required to make estimates of future operating trends and judgments on discount 
rates and other variables. Actual future results related to assumed variables could differ from these estimates.

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed 
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. 
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset, or asset group, to 
estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, or asset group. An impairment charge is recognized 
by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, or asset group, exceeds its fair value.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with estimable useful lives on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

Revenue Recognition 

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

• 

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 creditworthiness of customers as 
determined by its credit checks, their payment histories, or changes in circumstances that indicate that collectability is 
not reasonably assured.

When sales arrangements contain multiple elements, including software and non-software components that 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 either 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 selling price 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 third-
party products with similar functionality typically cannot be obtained. ESP 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 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 residual method when VSOE of fair value of the undelivered items exists. 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 one or more undelivered items does not exist, revenue from the entire arrangement is 
deferred and recognized at the earlier of: (i) delivery of those elements or (ii) when fair value can be established unless maintenance 
services is the only undelivered element, in which case, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the maintenance 
service period. 

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 or subject to customer-specific return or refund privileges. 

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 outlined in rebate agreements, and other factors known at the time. 

A portion of the Company's sales is made through distributors under agreements allowing for pricing credits or rights of return. 
As reliable estimates of these credits or returns cannot be made, 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 given 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. 

65

Table of Contents

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Service revenues include revenue from maintenance, training, and professional services. Maintenance is offered under renewable 
contracts. Revenue from maintenance service contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the contractual support period, 
which is generally one to three years. Revenue from training and professional services is recognized as services are completed or 
ratably over the contractual period, which is generally one year or less. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company 
regularly reviews its receivables that remain outstanding past their applicable payment terms and establishes an allowance by 
considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic 
conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay. 

Warranty Reserves 

The Company generally offers a one-year warranty on all of its hardware products, a 90-day warranty on the media that contains 
the software embedded in the products. Warranty costs are recognized as part of the Company's cost of sales based on associated 
material costs, labor costs, and overhead at the time revenue is recognized. Material costs are estimated primarily based upon the 
historical costs to repair or replace product returns within the warranty period. Labor and overhead costs are estimated primarily 
based upon historical trends in the cost to support customer cases within the warranty period.    

Contract Manufacturer Liabilities 

The Company establishes a liability for non-cancelable, non-returnable purchase commitments with its contract manufacturers 
for carrying charges, quantities in excess of its demand forecasts, or obsolete material charges for components purchased by the 
contract manufacturers to meet the Company’s demand forecast or customer orders. The demand forecasts are based upon historical 
trends and analysis from the Company's sales and marketing organizations, adjusted for overall market conditions. 

Research and Development

Costs to research, design, and develop the Company's products are expensed as incurred. 

Software Development Costs 

Capitalization of software development costs for software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed begins when a product's 
technological feasibility has been established and ends when a product is available for general release to customers. Generally, 
the Company's products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, costs incurred between 
achieving technological feasibility and product general availability have not been significant. The Company capitalizes costs 
associated with internal-use software systems that have reached the application development stage and are primarily attributable 
to the Company's enterprise resource planning ("ERP") implementation. Such capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized 
in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees, who are directly associated with 
the development of the applications.

Advertising 

Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. Advertising expense was $20.1 million, $20.0 million, 
and $17.2 million, for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations with non-U.S. Dollar functional currency are translated to U.S. Dollars using exchange 
rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenue and expenses are translated to U.S. Dollars using average exchange rates for the 
period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in the stockholders’ 
equity section as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. For the Company’s international subsidiaries in which 
the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, the Company records foreign exchange gains and losses for assets and liabilities in the 
Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations.  Remeasurement  adjustments  are  recorded  in  other  expense,  net  in  the  Consolidated 
Statements of Operations. 

66

Table of Contents

Loss Contingencies 

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Management 
considers the likelihood of loss related to an asset, or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the 
amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has 
been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates 
current information available to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required. 

Share-Based Compensation 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") shares. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 
restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), and performance share awards ("PSAs") based on the closing market price of the Company’s 
common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of the underlying awards and 
amortized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures. With respect to PSAs, that generally vest after three years, for the 
portion of the award attributable to each performance year, the Company recognizes PSA expense on a straight-line basis over the 
remaining vesting period starting in the period in which the annual performance targets are set for each such performance year, 
to the extent that the performance target is expected to be met.

The BSM model requires various highly subjective assumptions that represent management's best estimates of 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.

Provision for Income Taxes 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount 
that will more likely than not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax 
positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates 
that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation 
processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized 
upon settlement. The Company classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as current to the extent that the Company 
anticipates payment (or receipt) of cash within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in 
the provision for income taxes.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, 
investments, and accounts receivable. The Company invests only in high-quality credit instruments and maintains its cash, cash 
equivalents and available-for-sale investments in fixed income securities with several high-quality institutions. Deposits held with 
banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. 
These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk. 

The Company’s derivatives expose it to credit risk to the extent that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. 
To mitigate concentration of risk related to its derivatives, the Company establishes counterparty limits to major credit-worthy 
financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is 
monitored and the derivatives transacted with these entities are relatively short in duration. Therefore, the Company does not 
expect material losses as a result of defaults by counterparties.

Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company's 
customer base and their dispersion across different geographic locations throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing 
credit  evaluations  of  its  customers  and  generally  does  not  require  collateral  on  accounts  receivable.  During  the  years  ended 

67

Table of Contents

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of net revenues. During the year 
ended December 31, 2012, Verizon Communications, Inc. ("Verizon") accounted for 10.3% of net revenues. 

The Company relies on sole suppliers for certain of its components such as application-specific integrated circuits ("ASICs") and 
custom  sheet  metal.  Additionally,  the  Company  relies  primarily  on  a  limited  number  of  significant  independent  contract 
manufacturers for the production of its products. The inability of any supplier or manufacturer to fulfill supply requirements of 
the Company could negatively impact future operating results. 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make 
judgments,  assumptions,  and  estimates  that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  the 
accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other 
factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are 
not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent there are material differences between the Company's estimates and the 
actual results, the Company's future consolidated results of operation may be affected.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11, 
Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar 
Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2013-11") to provide 
explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, 
a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those 
years, beginning after December 31, 2013. The Company intends to adopt this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2014 
and the adoption will not result in a change to the tax provision. The Company does not expect a significant impact to its presentation 
of long-term taxes payable or its deferred tax assets.

Note 3. Business Combinations 

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of acquired businesses from the date of each 
acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented as the financial impact to the Company's 
consolidated results of operations, both individually and in aggregate, is not material. Additional information, if any, existing as 
of the acquisition dates but unknown to the Company may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, not 
to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date, which may result in changes to the amounts and allocations recorded. 

The Company completed one business combination in 2013, three business combinations in 2012, and two business combinations 
in 2011 for cash consideration including the fair value of vested share-based awards assumed, if any, of approximately $10.0 
million, $187.3 million, and $30.5 million, respectively. 

The following table presents the purchase consideration allocations for these acquisitions based upon acquisition-date fair values, 
including cash and cash equivalents acquired (in millions):

December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. These acquisition-related costs were expensed in the period incurred as general 
and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The goodwill recognized for the 2012 and 2011 acquisitions was primarily attributable to expected synergies and was not deductible 
for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

2013 Acquisition

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

During 2013, the Company completed a business combination for approximately $10.0 million in cash consideration of which 
$0.1 million was allocated to net tangible assets acquired and $9.9 million to intangible assets. Intangible assets acquired consisted 
of existing technology with a weighted-average estimated useful life of five years. 

2012 Acquisitions

Contrail

On December 14, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest in Contrail, increasing its ownership from 12% 
to 100%, in a cash and stock transaction for approximately $91.7 million. Contrail, a privately-held software networking company, 
provides software-defined networking solutions technology that augments Juniper's portfolio of products and services. 

The aggregate consideration of $91.7 million was allocated as follows: net tangible assets acquired of $3.6 million, including cash 
and cash equivalents of $8.6 million; intangible assets of $17.4 million; and recognized goodwill of $70.7 million, which was 
assigned  to  the  Company's  PSD  segment.  Refer  to  Note  7,  Goodwill  and  Purchased  Intangible Assets,  for  discussion  of  the 
reclassification of goodwill from its PSD segment to its SSD segment related to this acquisition.

The Company previously accounted for its investment in Contrail at cost, which was $3.0 million prior to the acquisition. As of 
the acquisition date, the fair value of the Company's previous equity interest in Contrail was remeasured to its fair value of $17.7 
million, which was based upon adjustments market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the previously 
held interest in Contrail. This resulted in a $14.7 million gain, which was reported within other expense, net in the Consolidated 
Statements of Operations.

Mykonos Software, Inc.

On February 13, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the equity securities of Mykonos Software, Inc. ("Mykonos") for $82.6 
million in cash. The acquisition of Mykonos extended Juniper Networks' security portfolio with an intrusion deception system 
capable of detecting an attacker before an attack is in process. In connection with this acquisition, the Company acquired net 
tangible liabilities of $0.2 million, intangible assets of $24.3 million, and recognized goodwill of $58.5 million, which was assigned 
to the Company's SSD segment.

BitGravity, Inc.

On March 8, 2012, the Company acquired a source code license and patent joint-ownership related to the service management 
layer of BitGravity, Inc.'s ("BitGravity") Content Delivery Network ("CDN") technology for $13.0 million in cash. In connection 
with this acquisition, the Company acquired net tangible assets of $0.1 million, intangible assets of $12.4 million, and recognized 
goodwill of $0.5 million, which was assigned to the Company's SSD segment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) consists of existing research and development projects at the time of 
the acquisition. Projects that qualify as IPR&D assets represent those that have not yet reached technological feasibility and have 
no alternative future use. After initial recognition, acquired IPR&D assets are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets. 
Development costs incurred after acquisition on acquired development projects are expensed as incurred. Upon completion of 
development, acquired IPR&D assets are considered amortizable intangible assets. If the IPR&D project is abandoned, the Company 
writes off the related purchased intangible asset in the period it is abandoned. 

2011 Acquisitions

OpNext

On February 9, 2011, the Company acquired certain IP assets of OpNext for $26.0 million in cash, which was accounted for as a 
business combination. The acquisition of OpNext's ASIC technology furthered Juniper's next-generation development of converged 
packet optical solutions for the Company's service provider customers. In connection with this acquisition, the Company acquired 
the fair value of intangible assets of $25.7 million and recognized goodwill of $0.3 million.

Brilliant

On February 18, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Brilliant, including all the intellectual property ("IP") for $4.5 
million in cash. This IP assisted the Company in extending its market position by delivering solutions that offer greater flexibility 
for service providers as they deployed 3G and 4G networks. In connection with this acquisition, the Company acquired net tangible 
assets of $1.7 million, intangible assets of $2.7 million, and recognized goodwill of $0.1 million.

The  Company  had  178  and  98  investments  in  unrealized  loss  positions  as  of  December 31,  2013  and  December 31,  2012, 
respectively. The gross unrealized losses related to these investments were primarily due to changes in market interest rates and 
stock  prices. 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. 

For available-for-sale debt securities that have unrealized losses, the Company evaluates whether (i) it has the intention to sell 
any of these investments and (ii) whether 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. As of December 31, 2013, the Company anticipates that it will recover the entire 
amortized  cost  basis  of  such  available-for-sale  debt  securities  and  has  determined  that  no  other-than-temporary  impairments 
associated with credit losses were required to be recognized during the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. 

For available-for-sale equity securities that have unrealized losses, the Company evaluates whether there is an indication of other-
than-temporary  impairments. This  determination  is  based  on  several  factors,  including  the  financial  condition  and  near-term 
prospects of the issuer and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the publicly-traded equity securities for a period of time 
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the 
Company did not recognize other-than-temporary impairments associated with these investments.

Restricted Cash and Investments

The Company classifies cash and investments designated as available-for-sale securities as restricted cash and investments on its 
Consolidated Balance Sheets for: (i) amounts held in escrow accounts, as required in connection with certain acquisitions completed 
between 2005 and 2013; (ii) the India Gratuity Trust and Israel Retirement Trust, which cover statutory severance obligations in 
the event of termination of any of the Company's India and Israel employees, respectively; and (iii) the Directors and Officers 
("D&O") indemnification trust.

Privately-Held Investments

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying values of the Company’s privately-held investments of $57.2 
million and $32.0 million, respectively, were included in other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2013, 
certain  privately-held  investments  with  carrying  values  of  $12.2  million  became  public  and  were  reclassified  to  short-term 
investments and resulted in net unrealized gains of $102.7 million and recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive 
income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. The 
Company adjusts the carrying value for its privately-held investments for any impairment if the fair value is less than the carrying 
value of the respective assets on an other-than-temporary basis. 

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company determined that certain privately-held investments 
were other-than-temporarily impaired, resulting in impairment charges of $2.8 million, $20.0 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, 
that were recorded within other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's Level 2 available-for-sale fixed income securities are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments 
or non-binding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, 
benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency which are 
obtained from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors, or other sources, to determine the ultimate fair value of these 
assets. The Company's derivative instruments are classified as Level 2, as they are not actively traded and are valued using pricing 
models that use observable market inputs. The Company's policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level

2, and Level 3 at the beginning of the quarter in which a change in circumstances resulted in a transfer. During the year ended 
December 31, 2013, the Company transferred approximately $287.4 million of government agency bonds within government 
sponsored enterprise obligations from Level 1 to Level 2 primarily due to the use of additional valuation inputs more appropriately 
classified as Level 2 inputs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had no transfers to Level 3. During the year 
ended December 31, 2012, the Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets or liabilities 
measured at fair value. 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain of the Company's assets, including intangible assets, goodwill, and privately-held investments, are measured at fair value 
on a nonrecurring basis if impairment is indicated. 

Privately-held investments, which are normally carried at cost, are measured at fair value due to events and circumstances that 
the Company identified as significantly impacting the fair value of investments. The Company estimates the fair value of its 
privately-held investments using an analysis of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including recent 
financing activities and their capital structure. Purchased intangible assets are measured at fair value primarily using discounted 
cash flow projections. 

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the related impairment losses included in 
the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions):

These assets were classified as Level 3 assets due to the absence of quoted market prices and/or inherent lack of liquidity. 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, financing receivables, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities 
approximate fair value due to their short maturities. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value 
of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,023.5 million and $1,090.7 million, respectively, based on quoted market 
prices (Level 1).

Cash Flow Hedges

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company uses foreign currency forward or option contracts to hedge 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 one year or less. 

See Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, for the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance 
Sheets.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a loss of $1.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive income for the 
effective portion of its derivative instruments and reclassified a gain of $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 
from other comprehensive income to operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2012, 
the Company recognized a gain of $7.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income for the effective portion of its derivative 
instruments and reclassified a loss of $7.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 from other comprehensive income 
to operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a loss of 
$7.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive income for the effective portion of its derivative instruments and reclassified a 
gain of $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 from other comprehensive income to operating expense in the 
Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

The ineffective portion of the Company's derivative instruments recognized in its Consolidated Statements of Operations was not 
material during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. 

Non-Designated Derivatives

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company recognized a net gain of $0.9 million, a net gain of 
$1.0 million, and a gain of $1.5 million, respectively, on non-designated derivative instruments within other expense, net, in its 
Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

Offsetting of Derivatives

The Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, 
under agreements containing provisions on netting with certain counterparties of foreign exchange contracts, subject to applicable 
requirements, the Company is allowed to net-settle transactions on the same date in the same currency, with a single net amount 
payable by one party to the other. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the potential effect of rights of setoff associated 
with derivative instruments was not material. The Company is neither required to pledge nor entitled to receive cash collateral 
related to these derivative transactions.

The additions to goodwill in 2012 were based on the purchase price allocations of the acquisitions completed during 2012. The 
adjustments to goodwill during 2012 were related to adjustments to net tangible assets assumed from certain businesses acquired 
in 2010 and 2011. The Company also recorded adjustments to net tangible assets assumed related to the acquisitions completed 
in 2012.

During  2013,  goodwill  of  $179.0  million  associated  with  security  products  previously  reported  under  the  PSD  segment  was 
reclassified to the SSD segment in connection with the Company's product realignment of all security products. In addition, the 
Company realigned its Contrail products from the PSD segment to the SSD segment resulting in a reclassification of goodwill of 
$70.6 million. Goodwill was reclassified based on the relative fair value allocation of the reporting units affected.

There were no impairments to goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.

In connection with the restructuring plan in 2012 discussed in Note 9, Restructuring and Other Charges, the Company assessed 
the value and remaining useful life of certain intangible assets and determined intangible assets of $5.4 million were impaired and 
such assets were written-down to their fair value of zero. These assets were measured at fair value primarily using discounted cash 
flow projections. Additionally, the Company determined other intangible assets of $10.7 million were no longer utilized. As a 
result, the Company recorded $16.1 million in charges related to these items during the year ended December 31, 2012, which 
were included in cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no impairment charges to purchased 
intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011.

2013 Restructuring Plan

During 2013, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the "2013 Restructuring Plan") to continue to improve its cost structure 
and rationalize its product portfolio and rebalance its investments. The 2013 Restructuring Plan consists of workforce reductions, 
contract terminations, and project cancellations. The Company recorded $18.3 million in severance costs and $10.0 million of

2012 Restructuring Plan

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

During 2012, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the "2012 Restructuring Plan") to bring its cost structure more in line 
with its desired long-term financial and strategic model. The 2012 Restructuring Plan consists of workforce reductions, facility 
consolidations or closures, and supply chain and procurement efficiencies. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company 
continued  to  implement  restructuring  activities  under  the  2012  Restructuring  Plan  and  recorded  $19.3  million  in  charges  for 
severance costs, facility consolidations or closures, and contract terminations. Under the 2012 Restructuring Plan, total costs 
incurred through December 31, 2013 were $112.6 million, of which $58.0 million was recorded within cost of revenues, primarily 
related to certain inventory and intangible asset impairment charges, and $54.6 million was recorded within restructuring and other 
charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring activities related to this plan are substantially complete.

2011 Restructuring Plan

During 2011, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (the "2011 Restructuring Plan") in an effort to better align its business 
operations with the current market and macroeconomic conditions. The 2011 Restructuring Plan consisted of certain workforce 
reductions, facility closures and to a lesser extent, contract terminations. The Company recorded the majority of the restructuring 
charges associated with the 2011 Restructuring Plan during the years ended 2012 and 2011 and recorded a severance-related 
reversal of $0.1 million during 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the remaining restructuring liability under this plan relates to 
facility charges, which are expected to be completed by March 2018.

Note 10. Long-Term Debt and Financing

Long-Term Debt 

In March 2011, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.10% senior notes due 2016 ("2016 Notes"), 
$300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.60% senior notes due 2021 ("2021 Notes"), and $400.0 million aggregate principal 
amount of 5.95% senior notes due 2041 ("2041 Notes" and, collectively the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes is payable in cash 
semiannually. The Company may redeem the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, subject to a make-whole 
premium, and, in the event of a change in control, the holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all 
or part of the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principle amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. 
The indenture that governs the Notes also contains various covenants, including limitations on the Company's ability to incur liens 
or enter into sale-leaseback transactions over certain dollar thresholds. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance 
with all of its debt covenants.

Customer Financing Arrangements

The Company provides distribution partners access to extended financing arrangements for certain end-user customers that require 
longer payment terms than those typically provided by the Company through factoring accounts receivable to third -party financing 
providers. The program does not and is not intended to affect the timing of the Company's revenue recognition. 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  surrenders  control  over  the  transferred  assets.  The  factored  accounts 
receivable are 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 $898.4 million, $677.8 
million and $738.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 

The Company received cash proceeds from the financing provider of $843.9 million, $679.8 million, and $686.5 million during 
the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts 
owed by the financing provider were $189.8 million and $147.6 million, respectively, and were recorded in accounts receivable 
on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In 2013, the Company provided guarantees for third-party financing arrangements extended to end-user customers, which have 
terms up to four years. The Company is liable for the aggregate unpaid payments to the third-party financing company in the event 
of customer default. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not made any payments under these arrangements. Pursuant to 
these arrangements, the Company has guarantees for third-party financing arrangements of $30.2 million as of December 31, 
2013.

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 and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2013 
and 2012, the estimated cash received from the financing provider not recognized as revenue from distributors was $62.3 million 
and $30.7 million, respectively.

Note 11. Equity

Stock Repurchase Activities

In July 2013, the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the Company 
to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common stock from time to time at management's discretion. The authorization was in 
addition to the $1.0 billion stock repurchase program approved by the Board and announced in June 2012 and the $1.0 billion 
stock  repurchase  program  approved  by  the  Board  in  February  2010. As  of  December 31,  2013,  there  was  $997.7  million  of 
authorized funds remaining under the Company's stock repurchase programs. In addition to repurchases under the Company’s 
stock repurchase programs, the Company also repurchases common stock from its employees in connection with the net issuance 
of shares to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations for the vesting of certain stock awards.

Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s equity incentive plans include the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), the 2000 Nonstatutory Stock 
Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), the Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan (the “1996 Plan”), various equity incentive plans 
assumed through acquisitions, and the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). Under these plans, the Company has 
granted (or, in the case of acquired, plans assumed) stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), 
and performance share awards ("PSAs").

As of December 31, 2013, a total of approximately 103.8 million shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance upon 
exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs, and for the future grant of share-based compensation awards 
under the Company's equity incentive plans.

The 2006 Plan was adopted and approved by the Company’s stockholders in May 2006. To date, the Company's stockholders have 
approved a share reserve of 149.5 million shares of common stock plus the addition of any shares subject to options under the 
2000 Plan and the 1996 Plan that were outstanding as of May 18, 2006, and that subsequently expire unexercised, up to a maximum 
of an additional 75.0 million shares. As of December 31, 2013, the 2006 Plan had 43.8 million shares subject to currently outstanding 
equity awards and 49.1 million shares available for future issuance. Options granted under the 2006 Plan have a maximum term 
of seven years from the date of grant, and generally vest and become exercisable over a four-year period. Subject to the terms of 
change of control severance agreements, and except for a limited number of shares allowed under the 2006 Plan, RSUs or PSAs 
that vest solely based on continuing employment or provision of services will vest in full no earlier than three years from the grant 
date, or in the event vesting is based on factors other than continued future provision of services, such awards will vest in full no 
earlier than one year from the grant date.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed the acquisitions of Mykonos and Contrail and assumed their 
respective plans: Mykonos Software, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan and Contrail Systems Inc. 2012 Stock Plan. In connection with these 
plans, the Company assumed stock options, RSUs, and RSAs and exchanged the assumed awards for Juniper Networks' stock 
options, RSUs, and RSAs, respectively. No additional awards can be granted under these plans. The Company assumed an aggregate 
of 7.0 million shares of stock options, RSUs, and RSAs in connection with the acquisitions of Mykonos and Contrail, of which 
5.8 million shares were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance 
upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and/or the private offering 
safe harbor provision of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2013 stock options, 
RSUs, and RSAs representing approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock were outstanding under all awards assumed 
through the Company's acquisitions.

The ESPP was adopted in May 2008. To date, the Company's stockholders have approved a share reserve of 19.0 million shares 
of the Company's common stock for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP permits eligible employees to acquire shares of the 
Company’s common stock at a 15% discount to the offering price (as determined in the ESPP) 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. As of December 31, 2013, approximately 12.8 million shares have been issued and 6.2 million shares remain available for 
future issuance under the ESPP. 

Stock Option Activities

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.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period, 
which was $22.57 per share as of December 31, 2013 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of related options. The pre-
tax intrinsic value of options exercised, representing the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock 
on the date of the exercise and the exercise price of each option, was $29.4 million, $27.9 million, and $249.8 million for 2013, 
2012, and 2011, respectively. Total fair value of options vested during 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $45.2 million, $70.9 million,

The Company maintains a savings and retirement plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended (the "IRC"). Employees meeting the eligibility requirements, as defined under the IRC, may contribute up to the statutory 
limits  each  year.  The  Company  currently  matches  30%  of  all  eligible  employee  contributions  which  vest  immediately.  The 
Company’s matching contributions to the plan totaled $20.7 million, $20.2 million, and $16.3 million during the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 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 short-term investments and 
offsetting  obligations  are  included  within  accrued  compensation  in  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  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 other expense, net, and the offsetting compensation expense is recorded as operating expenses in the 
Consolidated Statements of  Operations. The deferred compensation liability under  the NQDC  plan was  approximately $15.4 
million and $12.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Note 13. Segments

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The  Company’s  chief  operating  decision  maker  (“CODM”)  allocates  resources  and  assesses  performance  based  on  financial 
information of the Company’s divisions. During 2013, the Company consolidated operational oversight and management of all 
security products within the SSD segment. As a result of this product realignment, security products previously reported in the 
PSD segment (including the Branch SRX, Branch Firewall, and J Series product families) are now reported in the SSD segment. 
In addition, the Company realigned its Contrail products from the PSD segment to the SSD segment. The Company reclassified 
the segment data for the prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

The Company’s PSD segment primarily offers scalable routing and switching products that are used in service provider, enterprise, 
and public sector networks to control and direct network traffic from data centers, core, edge, aggregation, campus, Wide Area 
Networks ("WANs"), and customer premise equipment level. The Company's PSD segment consists of routing and switching 
products and services. Routing products and services include the ACX, E, M, MX, PTX, and T Series product families. Switching 
products and services primarily consist of the EX Series and wireless local area network solutions, as well as the QFabric™ system.

The Company's SSD segment offers solutions that meet a broad array of our customers’ priorities, from protecting the users, 
applications and data on the network to providing network services across a distributed infrastructure. The SSD segment primarily 
consists of security, software, management, virtualization, routing products and services. Security includes firewalls (both JUNOS-
based SRX and Screen OS-based firewalls), Firefly, virtual private network systems and appliances, secure socket layer virtual 
private network appliances, intrusion detection and prevention appliances, wide area network optimization platforms, Junos Pulse, 
and J Series. Software and services for the mobile and wireline network edge include traffic flow monitoring, dynamic application 
and subscriber awareness, and next generation network addressing. Management and virtualization products include Junosphere, 
Junos SDK, JunosV App Engine and the network management platform, Junos Space. In fiscal 2013, the Company announced 
the availability of Juniper Networks Contrail, a standards-based and highly scalable network virtualization and intelligence solution 
for software-defined networks for enterprises and service providers. 

The CODM does not allocate to the Company's business segments certain operating expenses managed separately at the corporate 
level. Direct costs and operating expenses, such as standard cost of goods sold, research and development, 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 factors including headcount, usage, and revenue. Segment contribution margin provides supplemental data on 
operational performance and is comprised of these direct costs and operating expenses, as well as these indirect costs. Corporate 
unallocated  expenses  include:  sales,  marketing,  general  and  administrative  costs,  share-based  compensation,  amortization  of 
purchased intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, gains or losses on equity investments, other expense, net, income 
taxes, and certain other charges. Segment contribution margin excludes these corporate unallocated expenses.

$19.7 million for a multi-year claim related to the U.S. production activities deduction, $28.3 million for a tax settlement with the 
Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and $16.2 million of U.S. federal R&D tax credit resulting from the American Taxpayer Relief 
Act of 2012 signed on January 2, 2013, which retroactively reinstated the U.S. federal R&D tax credit from January 1, 2012 to

As  of  December 31,  2013,  and  2012,  the  Company  had  a  valuation  allowance  on  its  U.S. domestic  deferred  tax  assets  of 
approximately $155.7 million and $141.0 million, respectively. The balance at December 31, 2013 consisted of approximately 
$109.2 million and $9.7 million against the Company's California and Massachusetts deferred tax assets, respectively, which the 
Company believes are not more likely than not to be utilized in future years. The remaining deferred tax assets on which the 
Company recorded a valuation allowance are approximately $36.8 million related to losses that are capital in nature and may carry 
forward to offset future capital gains only. The valuation allowance increased $14.7 million in 2013 related to the increase in the 
California research and development credit and decreased $4.2 million in 2012 related to the utilization of losses that are capital 
in nature.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1.2 million 
and $40.6 million, respectively. The Company also had California tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $208.1 million. 
Approximately $20.1 million of the benefit from the California tax credit carry-forwards will be credited to additional paid-in 
capital when realized on the Company's income tax returns. Unused net operating loss carry-forwards will expire at various dates 
beginning in the year 2014. The California tax credit carry-forwards will carry forward indefinitely. 

The Company provides U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries' earnings are considered 
indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. The Company has made no provision for U.S. income taxes on approximately

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

$1.5 billion of cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries through December 31, 2013. These earnings are 
considered indefinitely invested in operations outside of the U.S., as the Company intends to utilize these amounts to fund future 
expansion of its international operations. If these earnings were distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise, 
or if the shares of the relevant foreign subsidiaries were sold or otherwise transferred, the Company would be subject to additional 
U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes. Determination of the amount 
of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

As of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $137.6 million, $136.1 million, 
and $132.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $128.8 million of the $137.6 million gross unrecognized 
tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits was as follows (in 
millions):

As of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits 
of $18.4 million, $16.7 million, and $17.3 million, respectively, within other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance 
Sheets. The Company recognized an expense for net interest and penalties of $0.6 million and a benefit of $0.6 million and $1.6 
million in its Consolidated Statements of Operations during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 

The Company engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. 
There is a greater than remote likelihood that the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately 
$1.6 million within the next twelve months due to lapses of applicable statutes of limitation and the completion of tax review 
cycles in various tax jurisdictions. 

In 2013, the Company executed a closing agreement with the Appeals Division of the IRS related to its intercompany R&D cost 
sharing arrangement for the license of intangibles acquired in 2004, 2005, and 2006. The Company reached a final resolution with 
the IRS on all proposed adjustments for all tax years through 2006, which resulted in a settlement of approximately $19.6 million, 
including interest. 

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company resolved an audit by a state tax authority for the years from 2002 through 2004. 
As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a tax benefit or approximately $7.0 million including interest and penalties. 

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, Juniper Networks or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax 
returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company 
is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the Netherlands, U.K., 
France, Germany, Japan, China, Australia, India, and the U.S. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, 
state and local, and non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2004. 

The Company is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2007 through 2009 tax years. The Company is also subject to 
separate ongoing examinations by the India tax authorities for the 2004 tax year, 2004 through 2008 tax years, and the 2008 through 
2010 tax years. The Company is not aware of any other examinations by tax authorities in any other major jurisdictions in which 
it files income tax returns as of December 31, 2013.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In 2008, the Company received a proposed adjustment from the India tax authorities related to the 2004 tax year. In 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 in accordance with the administrative and judicial 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  remedies  relative  to  these  matters.  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; however there 
is still a possibility that an adverse outcome of these matters could have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition 
and results of operations.

Basic net income per share is computed using net income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number 
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using net income available to common 
stockholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding 
during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, issuances 
of ESPP, and vesting of RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs. The Company includes the common shares underlying PSAs in the calculation 
of diluted net income per share when they become contingently issuable and excludes such shares when they are not contingently 
issuable. 

Potentially dilutive common shares  of  approximately 13.2  million, 32.3  million,  and 17.4  million  shares for  the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their effect 
would be anti-dilutive.

The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 
November 30, 2022. Certain leases require the Company to pay variable costs such as taxes, maintenance, and insurance and 
include renewal options and escalation clauses. Rent expense for 2013, 2012, and 2011 was approximately $52.8 million, $63.2 
million, and $65.7 million, respectively. 

Purchase Commitments with Contract Manufacturers and Suppliers

In order to reduce manufacturing lead times and ensure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with 
contract manufacturers and certain suppliers to procure inventory based on the Company's requirements. A significant portion of 
the Company's purchase commitments arising from these agreements consists of firm and non-cancelable commitments. These 
purchase commitments totaled $491.4 million as of December 31, 2013. 

The Company establishes a liability in connection with purchase commitments related to quantities in excess of its demand forecasts 
or obsolete materials charges for components purchased by the contract manufacturers based on the Company’s demand forecast 
or customer orders. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued $22.9 million based on its estimate of such charges.

Long-Term Debt and Interest Payment on Long-Term Debt

As of December 31, 2013, the Company held long-term debt consisting of senior notes with a carrying value of $999.3 million. 
Of these Notes, $300.0 million will mature in 2016 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.10%, $300.0 million will mature in 2021 
and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.60%, and $400.0 million will mature in 2041 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.95%. 
Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually. See Note 10, Long-Term Debt and Financing, for further discussion of the Company's 
long-term debt.

Other Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2013, other contractual obligations primarily consisted of $89.5 million in indemnity-related and service 
related escrows, as required in connection with certain asset purchases and acquisitions completed between 2005 and 2013, campus 
build-out obligations of $13.1 million, and $10.3 million of agreements that are firm, non-cancelable and specify terms, including: 
fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of payment.

Guarantees 

Juniper Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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. The Company also 
has financial guarantees consisting of guarantees of product and service performance, guarantees related to third-party customer-
financing arrangements, custom and duty guarantees, and standby letters of credit for certain lease facilities. As of December 31, 
2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $40.1 million and $12.6 million, respectively, in financing arrangements, bank 
guarantees, and standby letters of credit related to these financial guarantees, of which $30.2 million in financing guarantees was 
recorded in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013. 
See Note 10, Long-Term Debt and Financing, for further discussion of the Company's third-party customer financing arrangements 
that contain guarantee provisions. 

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions, including, but not limited to, the matters described below. 
The Company is aggressively defending its current litigation matters, and while there can be no assurances and the outcome of 
these matters is currently not determinable, the Company currently believes that there are no existing claims or proceedings that 
are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation 
and these actions or other third-party claims against the Company may cause the Company to incur costly litigation and/or substantial 
settlement charges. In addition, the resolution of any intellectual property litigation may require the Company to make royalty 
payments, which could adversely affect gross margins in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, the Company's 
business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such 
matters may be materially different from the Company's estimates, if any, which could result in the need to adjust the liability and 
record additional expenses. Unless otherwise noted below, during the period presented, we have not recorded any accrual for loss 
contingencies associated with such legal proceedings; determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible; 
or determined that the amount or range of any possible loss is reasonably estimable.

2013 Federal Securities Class Action 

On August 12, 2013, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Warren Avery v. Juniper Networks, Inc., et al., Case 
No. 13-cv-3733-WHO, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California naming the Company 
and  certain  of  its  officers  and  directors  as  defendants. The  complaint  alleged  that  the  defendants  made  false  and  misleading 
statements regarding the Company's revenues, business practices, and internal controls. The complaint purported to assert claims 
for violations of Sections 10 (b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 on behalf of those who 
purchased Juniper Networks' securities between April 24, 2012 and August 8, 2013, inclusive. Plaintiff sought an unspecified 
amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class. On November 12, 2013, the court issued an order appointing Warren 
Avery as lead plaintiff. On January 9, 2014, lead plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice. On 
January, 23, 2014, the court entered an order of dismissal without prejudice.

2013 Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit 

On August 28, 2013, a purported shareholder derivative action captioned Washtenaw County Employees’ Retirement System v. 
Kriens, et al., Case No. 1-13-CV-252083, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, naming 
certain of the Company's officers and directors as defendants. On October 17, 2013, the action was removed to the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of California, and is now Case No. 13-cv-04829-WHO. The Company is named only as a 
nominal defendant in the action. The complaint alleges that the defendants failed to implement adequate internal controls and 
compliance programs to prevent violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The complaint purports to assert claims against 
the defendants for breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, and waste of corporate assets. The complaint seeks, among other 
relief, damages in an unspecified amount, restitution, and attorneys' fees and costs. On January 22, 2014, the Company filed a 
motion to dismiss the action. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for April 23, 2014.

Investigations

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice are conducting investigations into possible 
violations by the Company of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company is cooperating with these agencies regarding 
these matters. The Company is unable to predict the duration, scope or outcome of these investigations.

In  the  second  quarter  of  2013,  the  Company  extended  the  useful  lives  of  certain computers  and  equipment based  on  actual  historical 
usage, which demonstrated longer useful lives, as well as the planned use of these assets. The change was accounted for as a change in 
estimate and applied prospectively. This change in accounting estimate decreased depreciation expense within research and development 
expense by approximately $11.0 million or $0.01 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013, $9.4 million or $0.01 for the third quarter 
of 2013, and $7.9 million or $0.01 for the fourth quarter of 2013.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company implemented the 2013 Restructuring Plan for workforce reductions, contract terminations, and 
project  cancellations  and  recorded  restructuring  charges  of  $7.4  million  and  $3.7  million  to  operating  expenses  and  cost  of  revenues, 
respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company continued to implement restructuring activities under the 2013 Restructuring Plan 
and primarily recorded charges to operating expenses of $17.6 million.

(3)   Net income per share is computed independently. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly net income per share may not equal the total computed 

for the year or any cumulative interim period.

year presentation.

_______________________________
(1)   During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded net out of period adjustments reducing income before income taxes and noncontrolling 
interest by $8.2 million. These net adjustments resulted in increased research and development expense by $18.6 million related to prototype 
development costs, partially offset by increased net revenues of $6.2 million related to the reversal of certain revenue obligations and reduced 
cost of revenues by $4.2 million related to inventory purchases. The Company assessed the materiality of these adjustments, using relevant 
quantitative and qualitative factors, and determined that these adjustments, both individually and in the aggregate, were not material to any 
previously reported period. 
In the third quarter of 2012, the Company implemented the 2012 Restructuring Plan for workforce reductions, facility consolidations or 
closures,  and  supply  chain  and  procurement  efficiencies  and  recorded  restructuring  charges  of  $29.5  million.  In  connection  with  its 
restructuring activities, the Company also recorded certain inventory and intangible asset impairment charges totaling $52.4 million to cost 
of revenues. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company continued to implement restructuring activities under the 2012 Restructuring Plan.
(3)  Net income per share is computed independently. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly net income per share may not equal the total computed 

(2)  

for the year or any cumulative interim period.

(4)  Certain amounts in the prior quarters' Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to conform to the current 

year presentation.

Note 18. Subsequent Events

Integrated Operating Plan

In February 2014, the Company announced an integrated operating plan ("IOP") focused on innovation that matters most to service 
providers and enterprises where demand for High-IQ Networks and best-in-class cloud environments are driving growth. Through 
the execution of the IOP the Company will coalesce its engineering talent, go-to-market teams and R&D around this strategy 
resulting in streamlined operations and business portfolio and operational efficiencies.

The  Company  expects  to  initiate  a  substantial  cost  reduction  plan  in  connection  with  the  IOP  accomplished  through  various 
restructuring activities. The Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of future restructuring costs associated with the 
IOP.

As part of the IOP, the Company announced a commitment to return a minimum of $3.0 billion to shareholders over the next three 
years through a combination of share repurchases and dividends. As part of this plan, the Board of Directors has authorized $2.0 
billion in share repurchases to be executed through the end of the first quarter of 2015, including $1.2 billion through an accelerated 
share repurchase program to be entered into during the first quarter of 2014. The Company will also initiate a quarterly cash 
dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock beginning in the third quarter of 2014. These activities will be funded by a combination 
of existing cash balances and debt offerings.

Business Combination

Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company acquired WANDL, Inc. (“WANDL”), a provider of software solutions for advanced 
planning,  management,  design  and  optimization  of  next-generation  multi-layer  networks  for  cash  and  stock  consideration  of 
approximately $30.0 million. This acquisition provides the Company with technology and experience in traffic engineering, multi-
layer optimization and path computation, to help service provider customers optimize the performance and cost of their networks. 
The initial purchase accounting for this transaction was not yet complete at the filing of this Report.
