Wind River Reports Positive Cash Flow During the Third Quarter
EPS Better than Expected
on Revenue within Mid-Range of Original Guidance
ALAMEDA, Calif., November 18, 2003— Wind River Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: WIND), the worldwide market leader in embedded software and services, today reported its third quarter fiscal 2004 operating results for the period ended October 31, 2003. Total revenues for the third quarter were $49.6 million, a 2% decrease compared to revenues of $50.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, and a 15% decrease compared to revenues of $58.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
“We are pleased with our progress, both financially and in terms of aligning our strategy with evolving market needs. The positive cash flow reported during the quarter is a major step in putting the company on a solid financial footing”, said Naren Gupta, interim president and chief executive officer. “We are excited about the strategic initiatives, marketing programs, and products that we are introducing to better serve our customers.”
Following the end of the quarter, the company announced the appointment of Kenneth R. Klein as chairman and chief executive officer, effective January 5, 2004. “Ken is a tremendous leader with a track record of successes in the software industry. The company will benefit greatly from his unparalleled leadership, vision, and operational excellence”, added Gupta.
“Last year at this time, Wind River put a stake in the ground and revolutionized the embedded market with the introduction of WIND RIVER PLATFORMS and our subscription based business model. With the introduction of our second generation PLATFORMS, Wind River continues to deliver on this strategy,” said Jerry Fiddler, co-founder and chairman of Wind River. “By embracing innovative technologies such as IPv6, IPsec, Linux, Web Services and WiFi, the company is helping our customers drive to a connected world where the enterprise, the desktop and device meet.”
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), third quarter fiscal 2004 net loss was $6.9 million, compared to a net loss of $9.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and $14.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. GAAP net loss per share was $0.09 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to a net loss of $0.12 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and $0.18 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Company guidance entering the quarter was for a GAAP net loss per share of $0.10 to $0.15.
Pro forma net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 was $4.1 million, or a net loss of $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.05 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and a net loss of $7.4 million, or $0.09 per share, reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
Wind River provides pro forma data as a useful alternative for understanding the company’s operating results and ongoing business trends. Pro forma data is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be materially different from pro forma measures used by other companies. Pro forma net loss for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2003 and 2002 was computed by adjusting GAAP net loss to exclude amortization and impairment of purchased intangibles, restructuring and other charges, gains and losses on investments and technology, and stock compensation. Pro forma net loss for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2002, also assumes that a tax benefit from losses will be realized. Wind River provides a reconciliation of its GAAP and pro forma net loss for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2003 and 2002 on page four of this release.

• The company reported positive cash flow for the quarter with cash and cash equivalents and total investments, including restricted cash, up to $252.9 million at the end of the third quarter FY 2004 as compared to $249.6 million at the end of the second quarter FY 2004.
