FORTINET, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 8, 2015, Fortinet, Inc. (“Fortinet”) completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Meru Networks, Inc. (“Meru”), for a total consideration of approximately $41.8 million. Meru is a provider of Wi-Fi networking products and services.

The acquisition of Meru is accounted as a business combination in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. We use our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of Fortinet and Meru, and after applying the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes based on current intentions and expectations relating to the combined business. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 are presented as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were based on and should be read in conjunction with the:

separate audited historical consolidated financial statements of Fortinet as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes, included in Fortinet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2015.

separate unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Fortinet as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and the related notes, included in Fortinet’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on May 1, 2015.

separate audited historical consolidated financial statements of Meru as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes, included in Meru’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2015.

separate unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Meru as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and the related notes, included in Meru’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on May 7, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The actual results reported by the combined company in periods following the acquisition may differ significantly from those reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for a number of reasons, including cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, asset dispositions or restructuring that could result from the acquisition. There were no significant intercompany transactions between Fortinet and Meru as of the dates and for the periods of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

1





The preliminary estimated purchase consideration, as calculated and described in Note 2 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, has been allocated to net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their respective estimated fair values. We have made significant assumptions and estimates in determining the preliminary estimated purchase price consideration and the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. These preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the estimated purchase price allocation period (generally one year from the acquisition date) as we finalize the valuations of the net tangible and intangible assets. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

On July 8, 2015, Fortinet, Inc. (“Fortinet”) completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Meru Networks, Inc. (“Meru”). Meru is a provider of Wi-Fi networking products and services.

At the closing date, Fortinet acquired all the outstanding shares of Meru and paid $1.63 per share, for a total cash consideration of approximately $40.9 million. In addition, all of the outstanding restricted stock units of Meru were converted into restricted stock units for shares of Fortinet’s common stock. The cash payment, along with the estimated fair value of the earned restricted stock units assumed, resulted in a preliminary purchase price of $41.8 million.

Basis of Presentation

The acquisition of Meru is accounted as a business combination in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” The accounting standards define the term “fair value” and set forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result, Fortinet may be required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect Fortinet’s intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We use our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 are presented as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments described below were developed based on Fortinet management’s assumptions and estimates, including assumptions relating to the purchase price consideration and the allocation thereof to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Meru based on preliminary estimates of fair value. The final purchase consideration and the allocation of the purchase consideration may differ from that reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information after final valuation procedures are performed and amounts are finalized following the completion of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of the combined company would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any integration activities or cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, asset dispositions or other restructurings that could result from the acquisition.

(1) As of the effective date of the acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, it is assumed that all assets will be used and that all assets will be used in a manner that represents the highest and best use of those assets. Fortinet used an income approach to estimate the preliminary fair value of intangible assets. The acquired identifiable intangibles have a weighted-average useful life of approximately 5 years. The definite-lived intangible assets include trade name, developed technologies, and customer relationships.

(2) Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized.

For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial statements, the preliminary estimated purchase price consideration stated above has been allocated based on the preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the balance sheet date presented. The final purchase price allocation will be based on the estimated fair values at the acquisition date and could vary significantly from the pro forma amounts.
