Recent Developments and Highlights
- In late October, the Company announced the availability of extended continuous end-through-end monitoring to enhance attribution for audit controls and incident reports, prove zero-trust network policies, and shorten time to detect, contain, and document incidents. Enhanced monitoring is designed into NETSCOUT's Omnis® KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes (KlearSight) to help address the complex compliance demands faced in Cloud environments related to both security and regulatory requirements. NETSCOUT’s continuous and comprehensive monitoring solutions provide real-time visibility into critical aspects such as workloads, cluster configurations, network traffic, and API calls.
- In October, NETSCOUT announced an innovation aimed at meeting organizations’ increasing needs for comprehensive observability within complex cloud environments. KlearSight delivers deep, actionable, and real-time insights into system performance, health, and cost drivers. The solution is specifically designed to support environments that are challenging to monitor due to their encrypted nature, such as dynamic and distributed architectures.
- In late September, NETSCOUT hosted its annual Engage Technology and User Summit, gathering tech leaders and innovators who are shaping the future of Observability, AIOps, and Cybersecurity. NETSCOUT is driving intelligence into Observability and AIOps to feed the need for actionable telemetry derived from wire data and to leverage the unmatched power of its scalable DPI and metadata technology.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:
To supplement the financial measures presented in NETSCOUT's press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP (gross profit, operating margin, net income, and diluted net income per share), and may have limitations because they do not reflect all NETSCOUT’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate NETSCOUT’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. NETSCOUT believes these non-GAAP financial measures will enhance the reader’s overall understanding of NETSCOUT’s current financial performance and NETSCOUT's prospects for the future by providing a higher degree of transparency for certain financial measures and providing a level of disclosure that helps investors understand how the Company plans and measures its own business. NETSCOUT believes that providing these non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of NETSCOUT’s operating results that may be more easily compared to peer companies and also enables investors to consider NETSCOUT’s operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis during and following the integration period of NETSCOUT’s acquisitions. Presenting the GAAP measures on their own, without the supplemental non-GAAP disclosures, might not be indicative of NETSCOUT’s core operating results. Furthermore, NETSCOUT believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.
NETSCOUT management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors that management uses in planning and forecasting.
