GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $122.7 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared to $97.7 million, or $1.52 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangible assets, and litigation expenses, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $150.1 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, compared to $130.8 million, or $2.03 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
"Im pleased with results for the third quarter," said François Locoh-Donou, F5 President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see momentum in our security and software business, traction in our public cloud offerings and customer excitement around new multi-cloud application solutions like BIG-IP Cloud Edition.
"In our just released Application Protection Report we note that while apps are vital to companies' digital transformation, they have also become the largest threat vector for security breaches. Application security is a priority for every business and F5 is well positioned to help protect customers' applications, both on-premises and across multiple clouds. With the announcement today of two new dedicated security products-F5 SSL Orchestrator and F5 Access Manager-we give security professionals advanced resources to help thwart today's most sophisticated cyber-attacks."
