John McAdam, President and CEO, F5 Networks, attributes the revisions to a slowdown in purchasing of infrastructure related equipment resulting from a rapid softening of market conditions in North America.
As a result of the adjustments, McAdam says that the company will need to make layoffs as well as some facilities consolidation. The number of Seattleites who will receive pink slips remains unreleased.

"We believe this is a prudent thing to do given the slowdown in market condition, combined with the uncertainty of the timing as to when the market growth will pick up again," says McAdam.
McAdam believes that after the restructuring process, which he expects to complete by next week, the company's business model will be set up for success.
