FREMONT, Calif., April 24th, 2008—Rackable Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:RACK), a leading provider of servers and storage products for large-scale data centers, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2008 was $68.0 million, compared to $72.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2008 was 23.5%, compared to 12.5% in the first quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2008 was 24.0%, compared to 13.5% in the first quarter of 2007.

“In reflecting on my first year as CEO at Rackable, we improved our non-GAAP gross margins four quarters in a row, increased our cash position by 22% year-over-year, and rebuilt the management team,” said Mark J. Barrenechea, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rackable Systems. “While our first quarter is seasonally weak for revenue, we improved gross margins by over 70% and non-GAAP EPS by $0.19 year-over-year. The progress we have made over the previous four quarters and our results in the first quarter reflect our belief in the long-term staying power of Rackable.”

Rackable Systems ended the first quarter of 2008 with $206.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments compared to $198.1 million as of December 29, 2007 and $170.1 million as of March 31, 2007.

The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financials is provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The 2008 projected financial results included in the financial tables at the end of this press release and the statement regarding the long-term staying power of Rackable Systems are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties including: Rackable Systems operates in a very competitive market, and increased competition has in the past, and may continue, to cause pricing pressure on Rackable Systems’ products, which would negatively affect Rackable Systems’ gross and operating margins, as well as other financial measures; a significant portion of the company’s revenues come from a small number of customers, and so the delay in placing an order, or the failure of a significant customer to place additional orders, could have a significant negative effect on Rackable Systems’ financial performance; orders for Rackable Systems’ products can be received at the end of the quarter, and so a delay in placing an order in the fourth quarter could have a significant negative effect on Rackable Systems’ financial performance for the year; the failure of the RapidScale products to achieve market acceptance; Rackable Systems is unable to control component pricing, such as DDR memory pricing as has happened in the past, and as a result component pricing can rise unexpectedly, negatively impacting Rackable Systems’ gross margins as well as other financial measures; Rackable Systems may be required to write-off additional significant amounts of excess and obsolete inventory; and new products by competitors may come on the market, which would decrease the demand for Rackable Systems’ products. Detailed information about these and other potential factors that could affect Rackable Systems’ business, financial condition and results of operations is included in Rackable Systems’ Form 10-K under the caption “Risk Factors”, in Part I, Item 1A of that report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2008 and available at the SEC’s Web site at www.sec.gov. Rackable Systems undertakes no responsibility to update the information in this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures discussed in the text of this press release and accompanying non-GAAP supplemental information are financial measures used by Rackable Systems’ management to evaluate the operating performance of the company and to conduct its business operations. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin discussed or presented in this press release exclude stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) discussed in this press release excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles recorded in connection with the Terrascale acquisition, amortization of patents and customer list in connection with the acquisition of the company’s predecessor and cash payments related to the Terrascale acquisition. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share excludes the same items as non-GAAP operating income (loss) and, as well, excludes the related tax effects of the applicable items. Management presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management believes that the excluded charges are not central to the company’s core operating performance and uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company’s core operating performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management excludes from its non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) the items cited above, whether or not recurring, to facilitate its review of the comparability of the company’s core operating performance on a period to period basis as well as to better understand the fundamental economics of a specific period’s operational and financial performance. Management uses this view of the company’s operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and allocations of resources. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company’s financial and operational performance in the same way that management evaluates Rackable Systems’ financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, as they exclude the financial impact of transactions necessary or advisable for the conduct of the company’s business, such as the granting of equity compensation awards and the acquisition of Terrascale, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For example, the benefits of having acquired intangible assets may be reflected in the company’s financial performance, but the amortization of those intangibles is not. Hence, to compensate for these limitations, management does not review these non-GAAP financial metrics in isolation from its GAAP results, nor should investors. Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, a detailed reconciliation between the company’s GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is provided at the end of this press release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the company’s SEC filings.
