REDWOOD CITY, CA—(Marketwire - April 29, 2010)— Support.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRT), which provides services and software that help consumers and small businesses with their technology needs, today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

For the first quarter of 2010, total revenue was $9.9 million, compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2009 and $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. First quarter 2010 revenue consisted of $6.7 million in services revenue and $3.1 million in software and other revenue.

On a GAAP basis, net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2010 was $4.2 million, or $(0.09) per share, compared to $8.5 million, or $(0.18) per share, in the first quarter of 2009, and $3.4 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2010 was $3.2 million, or $(0.07) per share, compared to $7.6 million, or $(0.16) per share, in the first quarter of 2009, and $3.3 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.

These items impacted results from continuing operations by $943,000 in the first quarter of 2010, $886,000 in the first quarter of 2009, and $132,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Note on Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this document that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” and accordingly involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein. Forward-looking statements include, for example, all statements relating to projected financial performance (including without limitation statements involving projections of revenue, margin, income (loss), earning (loss) per share, cash usage, capital structure, or other financial items); the plans and objectives of management for future operations, products or services; and future performance in economic and other terms. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially include, among others, our ability to retain and grow major partnerships, our ability to maintain and grow revenue, our ability to scale our workforce, our ability to control expenses and achieve profitability, and our ability to successfully integrate acquired products and services. These and other risks are detailed in Support.com’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation its latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and its latest quarterly report on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained from www.sec.gov. Support.com does not intend to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances, and disclaims any obligation to do so except as may be required by law.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Support.com has excluded stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition expense and the income tax impact of the disposition of business units on continuing operations from its GAAP results in order to determine the non-GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) per share referenced in this document. We believe that the non-GAAP measure, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, assists investors in understanding our results of operations.

A. Stock-based compensation. Management excludes stock-based compensation expense when evaluating its performance from period to period because such expenses do not require cash settlement and because such expenses are not used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business. Stock-based compensation expense was $855,000 in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $769,000 in the first quarter of 2009 and $715,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009.

B. Amortization of intangible assets. The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle; therefore management excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and related charges when evaluating its operating performance. The Company also excludes such charges as they represent non-cash expenses. Amortization expense was $88,000 in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $42,000 in the first quarter of 2009 and $51,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009.

C. Restructuring and impairment charges. The Company does not undertake significant restructurings on a predictable basis and, as result, excludes associated charges in order to enable better and more consistent evaluation of the Company’s operating expenses before and after such actions are taken. Restructuring and impairment expense was zero in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $75,000 in the first quarter of 2009 and zero in the fourth quarter of 2009.

D. Acquisition expense. The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle; therefore management excludes acquisition expense such as legal fees and banker or advisor fees, when evaluating ongoing operating performance. Acquisition expense was zero in the first quarter of 2010, compared to zero in the first quarter of 2009 and $542,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009.

E. Income tax impact of disposition of business units. The Company excludes the income tax impact of the disposition of business units when evaluating the performance of its continuing operations, because this tax impact is not a result of the Company’s continuing operations. The income tax benefit related to the disposal of business units was zero in the first quarter of 2010, compared to zero in the first quarter of 2009 and $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. In addition, the exclusion of the charges and expenses indicated above from the non-GAAP financial measures presented does not indicate an expectation by management that such charges and expenses will not be incurred in subsequent periods.

The adjustments above reconcile the Company’s GAAP financial results to the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition expense and the income tax impact of the disposition of business units on continuing operations. The Company believes that presentation of these non-GAAP items provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, when viewed in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the Company’s GAAP results. However, the non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. See the text of this press release for more information on non-GAAP financial measures. Amounts in the first quarter of 2010 are subject to completion of management’s and its independent registered public accounting firm’s customary closing and review procedures.
