  • I think the CFO does an excellent job of explaining the financing issues Brocade encountered and how those financing decisions impacted Brocade's business. He wraps finance and strategy with even a bit of operations in his discussions.

  • Selling real estate to stay afloat?

    Acquiring a company (Floundary) with a 3% market share and falling. There entire executive management should be fired for getting them into this mess.

    They are toast.

  • -First, a comment on Free Cash Flow slide- Free Cash Flow *to Equity* generally includes mandatory debt payments. So your 09 FCF should be reduced by remaining 09 debt payment of 42M to 173M. Similar adjustment for 10

    -The 1.1B loan payments are 5,5,10,20,60% in next 5 years. That's 55M in 09 & 10 each, 110M in 11, 220M in 12 and 660M in 13. What kind of growth are you looking at to generate so much cash?

    -Selling real-estate to stay afloat- how far will that take you in this real-estate market?

  • Great comments made by Richard!

    Both Brocade and Foundry were cash generating machines and there is no reason that the new Brocade can not do that.
