Cisco reported its second quarter fiscal 2014 earnings late Wednesday, with revenue coming in at $11.2 billion, a 7.8 percent year-over-year decline. Net Income was $1.4 billion, a 54.5 percent year-over-year drop.

A key contributor to Cisco’s net income decline was a one-time charge incurred by the company.
