The reconciliation between GAAP earnings per share, diluted, and non-GAAP earnings per share, diluted, is in the table provided.

ADTRAN Chief Executive Officer

Tom Stanton stated, “Revenue for the quarter came in higher than expected, driven by the timing of CAF-related orders in our domestic business. EPS on a GAAP basis was reduced due to one-time restructuring charges as we continue to focus our company on the opportunities that are ahead. During the quarter, we saw an increase in broadband infrastructure activity in our domestic markets as carriers seek to position themselves competitively and utilize CAF funding to accelerate their deployment plans.”

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2015. The quarterly cash dividend is \\$0.09 per common share to be paid to holders of record at the close of business on July 30, 2015. The ex-dividend date is July 28, 2015 and the payment date is August 13, 2015.
