For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, total revenue was a record $90.9 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Non-GAAP net income was $5.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. This compares with a non-GAAP net income of $3.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

“We’ve continued our business momentum with investments in growth while also improving our key financial metrics. The acceleration of our hosted bookings in the December quarter resulted in 33 percent growth for calendar year 2014, showing the effectiveness of the strategic actions we launched a year ago,” said Don Joos, president and CEO of ShoreTel. “We’ve made continued progress in the development of our common platform, which we expect to introduce at our partner conference in April.”
