Second Quarter 2009 Outlook
Based on information as of April 30, 2009, Sourcefire expects revenue for 2Q09 in the range of $18.7 million to $20.2 million, net loss per share in the range of $0.04 to $0.01 and, on an adjusted basis, net income per share in the range of $0.00 to $0.03. Our expectation of adjusted net income per share excludes stock-based compensation expense in the expected range of $1.2 million to $1.3 million.
Non-GAAP Measures
In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Sourcefire’s management excludes certain charges and credits that are required by GAAP. These non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding items that we believe may not be indicative of the Company’s operating performance. These items share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and Sourcefire does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business; they do not involve the expenditure of cash; or they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
