FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
These presentation slides and the related conference call contain forward-looking statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding future (such as our digitization
strategy and execution, financial strength and financial guidance, our strategy to transition our business to a more software-based business model and recurring
revenue streams, and our ability to deliver profitable growth, manage our portfolio and strategic investments, and return shareholder value) and the future
financial performance of Cisco that involve risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and may
differ materially from actual future events or results due to a variety of factors, including: business and economic conditions and growth trends in the networking
industry, our customer markets and various geographic regions; global economic conditions and uncertainties in the geopolitical environment; overall information
technology spending; the growth and evolution of the Internet and levels of capital spending on Internet-based systems; variations in customer demand for
products and services, including sales to the service provider market and other customer markets; the return on our investments in certain priorities, including our
foundational priorities, and in certain geographical locations; the timing of orders and manufacturing and customer lead times; changes in customer order
patterns or customer mix; insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory; variability of component costs; variations in sales channels, product costs or mix of products
sold; our ability to successfully acquire businesses and technologies and to successfully integrate and operate these acquired businesses and technologies; our
ability to achieve expected benefits of our partnerships; increased competition in our product and service markets, including the data center; dependence on the
introduction and market acceptance of new product offerings and standards; rapid technological and market change; manufacturing and sourcing risks; product
defects and returns; litigation involving patents, intellectual property, antitrust, shareholder and other matters, and governmental investigations; natural
catastrophic events; a pandemic or epidemic; our ability to achieve the benefits anticipated from our investments in sales, engineering, service, marketing and
manufacturing activities; our ability to recruit and retain key personnel; our ability to manage financial risk, and to manage expenses during economic downturns;
risks related to the global nature of our operations, including our operations in emerging markets, currency fluctuations and other international factors; changes in
provision for income taxes, including changes in tax laws and regulations or adverse outcomes resulting from examinations of our income tax returns; potential
volatility in operating results; and other factors listed in Cisco’s most recent reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K filed on May 20, 2015 and September 9, 2014,
respectively. The financial information contained in these presentation slides and the related conference call should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in Cisco’s most recent reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K as each may be amended from time to time. Cisco’s
results of operations for the three and twelve months ended July 25, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of Cisco’s operating results for any future periods. Any
projections in these presentation slides and the related conference call are based on limited information currently available to Cisco, which is subject to change.
