Recent Business Highlights
“Once again, the SolarWinds team delivered a solid performance during the second quarter, driving record results. I am very pleased with our execution around the world. While we generated solid growth in each of our geographic regions, the EMEA region, in particular, produced the strongest growth overall. We believe that this performance reflects several factors including the appeal of our value proposition of affordable and powerful products and the investments we’ve made to build our awareness internationally,” said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds’ President and Chief Executive Officer.
“As we move into the second half of 2012, our teams are focused on making sure that we remain a leader in our core markets, like network management, while we aim to expand our relevance in other areas. We continue to believe that we can offer the market a unique experience based on delivering the unexpected simplicity of products that just work for IT professionals,” added Thompson.
SolarWinds’ business highlights during the second quarter of 2012 include:
| | • | | SolarWinds launched the Japanese version of its flagship network management product, SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM), reflecting the company’s commitment to expanding its opportunities in the global market. NPM’s Japanese launch builds on significant investments aimed at extending SolarWinds’ presence in Japan including forging key partnerships, creating a dedicated native language user support team, and developing a recently launched Japanese-language website. |
| | • | | SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) won best of Microsoft® TechEd North America 2012 in Systems Management and Operations, adding to the list of honors SolarWinds’ products have received across the IT management space given their power, ease-of-use, and affordability. |
| | • | | SolarWinds continued to deliver frequent new releases of existing products. SolarWinds added support for Microsoft Hyper-V™ to its award-winning Virtualization Manager, making it one of the most comprehensive and affordable virtualization management solutions for managing VMware® and Microsoft Hyper-V™ hypervisors. SolarWinds also released IP Address Manager (IPAM) 3.0. IPAM is one of the most affordable and comprehensive solutions for integrated DHCP, DNS, and IP address management available today, providing IT pros with a strong alternative to the complex and expensive appliance-based offerings from incumbent vendors. |
| | • | | Building on the momentum established in Q1 2012, SolarWinds sought to expand its awareness and relevance within the IT Management space through the release of new products. In early Q2, SolarWinds released Mobile Admin, based on technology acquired from Rove, which provides IT pros with an affordable and easy-to-use solution for supporting over 40 key IT technologies and platforms from their Android, iOS, and Blackberry smartphones and tablets. The company also introduced WSUS Agent, a free diagnostic tool for testing WSUS connections and validating Windows Update Agent® configuration values. |
“Our second quarter results once again illustrated the powerful benefits of our unique business model, where our higher-than-expected revenue helped drive strong non-GAAP operating margins and earnings per share,” said Mike Berry, SolarWinds’ Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We expect to continue to drive revenue growth through a number of organic and inorganic investments while maintaining our focus on strong margins and cash generation. In addition, reflecting the confidence we have in our business, we are increasing our full year outlook despite macro-economic headwinds in areas around the globe,” added Berry.
Financial Outlook
As of July 25, 2012, SolarWinds is providing its financial outlook for its third quarter and full year of 2012. The financial information below represents forward-looking non-GAAP financial information, including an estimate of non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2012 and for the full year 2012. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude, among other items mentioned below, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes. SolarWinds cannot reasonably estimate the expected stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes for these future periods as the amounts depend upon such factors as the future price of SolarWinds’ stock for purposes of computation. In addition, costs related to non-recurring items and acquisitions are not something that SolarWinds can estimate because they are a function of what non-recurring items and acquisitions, if any, occur and the kind of costs incurred in connection with any such non-recurring items or acquisitions.
Financial Outlook for the Third Quarter of 2012
SolarWinds management currently expects to achieve the following results for the third quarter of 2012:
| | • | | Total revenue in the range of $66.0–$68.5 million, or 22% to 27% growth over the third quarter of 2011. |
| | • | | Non-GAAP operating income representing 50%-51% of revenue. |
| | • | | Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.29–$0.31. |
| | • | | Weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 76.8 million. |
Financial Outlook for Full Year 2012
SolarWinds management is increasing its annual outlook and currently expects to achieve the following results for the full year 2012:
| | • | | Total revenue in the range of $257.0–$263.0 million, or 30% to 33% year-over-year growth. |
| | • | | Non-GAAP operating income representing 51%-52% of revenue. |
| | • | | Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.20–$1.24. |
| | • | | Weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 76.5 million. |

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking” statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including SolarWinds’ financial outlook, its expectation to continue to drive revenue growth through a number of organic and inorganic investments while maintaining its focus on strong margins and cash generation. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by terms such as “believe,” “continue,” “expect,” or similar expressions and the negatives
of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the inability to generate significant volumes of sales leads from Internet search engines, marketing campaigns and traffic to our websites; (b) the possibility that general economic conditions or uncertainty cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed; (c) the presence or absence of occasional large customer orders, including in particular those placed by the U.S. federal government; (d) the inability to increase sales to existing customers and to attract new customers; (e) SolarWinds’ ability to successfully identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions; (f) the timing and success of new product introductions and product upgrades by SolarWinds or its competitors; (g) potential foreign exchange gains and losses related to expenses and sales denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of an associated entity; and (h) such other risks and uncertainties described more fully in documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-Q that SolarWinds anticipates filing on or before August 9, 2012. All information provided in this release is as of the date hereof and SolarWinds undertakes no duty to update this information except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. The tables below set forth a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to a GAAP financial measure that we consider to be most comparable. SolarWinds believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its core business operations. SolarWinds’ management and Board of Directors use certain of these non-GAAP measures to assess operational performance and to determine employee incentive compensation. Accordingly, these measures may provide helpful insight to investors on the motivation and decision-making of management in operating the business. SolarWinds considers free cash flow also to be a liquidity measure that provides important information regarding the cash generated by the business after the purchase of property and equipment that can then be used for, among other things, strategic acquisitions and investments in the business, stock repurchases and funding ongoing operations.
SolarWinds also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors and security analysts to (a) compare and evaluate its performance from period to period and (b) compare its performance to those of its competitors. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the book value of their assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired.
There are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating and net income. In addition, free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period.
As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most comparable GAAP measures. SolarWinds’ management and Board of Directors compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures that are set forth in the tables below.

| (1) | Amortization of Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information which excludes expenses for the amortization of intangible assets which primarily relate to purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. Because of varying fair value amounts of intangible assets, subjective impairment assumptions and the variety of useful lives, which affect the recognition of amortization expense, we believe that the exclusion of amortization expense allows for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies. The amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions results in our recording expenses in our GAAP financial statements that were already expensed by the acquired company before the acquisition and for which we have not expended cash. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses. |
| (2) | Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer-Paid Payroll Taxes. We provide non-GAAP information which excludes expenses for stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes. We believe the exclusion of these items allows for financial results that are more indicative of our continuing operations. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. Employer-paid payroll taxes on stock- based compensation is dependent on our stock price and the timing of the taxable events related to the equity awards, over which our management has little control, and does not correlate to the core operation of our business. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation and the related employer-paid payroll taxes, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization's business performance. |
| (3) | Acquisition Related Adjustments. We exclude certain expense items resulting from acquisitions including the following, when applicable: (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions (see Note 1 for further discussion); (ii) legal, accounting and advisory fees to the extent associated with acquisitions; (iii) changes in fair value of contingent consideration; (iv) costs related to integrating the acquired businesses; and (v) restructuring costs, including adjustments related to changes in estimates, related to acquisitions. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, acquisitions result in non-continuing operating expenses, which would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations, with respect to each acquisition. We believe that providing non-GAAP information for acquisition related expense items in addition to the corresponding GAAP information allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our continuing operations, and also facilitates comparisons to our historical results and results of less acquisitive peer companies, both with and without such adjustments. |
| (4) | Income Tax Effect of Non-GAAP Exclusions. We believe providing financial information with and without the income tax effect of excluding items related to our non-GAAP financial measures provide our management and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding the ongoing performance and future liquidity of our business. |
| (5) | Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share Item. We provide non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. The non-GAAP diluted earnings per share amount was calculated based on our non-GAAP net income and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. |

| (1) | Free Cash Flow: We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities plus the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and less the purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure that reflects the cash generated by the business after the purchase of property and equipment that can then be used for, among other things, strategic acquisitions and investments in the business, stock repurchases and funding ongoing operations. |
