Stock Split

Arista Approved Four-For-One Forward Stock Split

<p><strong>Financial Outlook</strong></p>
<p>For the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect:</p>
<ul>
<li>Revenue between $1.85 billion to $1.90 billion</li>
<li>Non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 63% - 64%; and</li>
<li>Non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 44%.</li>
</ul>
<p>Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes certain items, including stock-based compensation expense, intangible asset amortization, and potential non-recurring charges or benefits. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because these exclusions can be uncertain or difficult to predict, including stock-based compensation expense which is impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the company's future hiring and retention needs and the future fair market value of the company's common stock. The actual amount of these exclusions will have a significant impact on the company's GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating margin.</p>
