“2011 has started as a year of continued profitability and top-line growth,” said Joe Dunsmore, Digi’s Chief Executive Officer. “The first fiscal quarter of 2011 marked Digi’s thirty-second consecutive quarter of profitability. We continued to show solid growth momentum in our wireless product lines and thus we believe we are in a very strong market position for the remainder of the fiscal year. We are considerably strengthened in these efforts by the addition of our new Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Steven E. Snyder, to our management team. We are benefiting from his industry experience and strategic judgment as we go forward.”

Digi International Reports First Fiscal Quarter 2011 Results
fiscal quarter of 2010. The gross margin was higher in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 than in the comparable period a year ago primarily due to customer mix, as well as product cost reductions and manufacturing efficiencies.
Total operating expenses in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 were $22.0 million, or 45.5% of revenue, compared to $19.9 million, or 46.2% of revenue, in the first fiscal quarter of 2010. The increase in operating expenses in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in the prior year is primarily due to increased investment in the iDigi® platform, increased headcount, and the reinstatement of the full incentive compensation program that had only partially been reinstated in the prior fiscal year.
Digi reported operating income of $2.7 million, or 5.5% of net sales, in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 compared to $1.8 million, or 4.3% of net sales, in the first fiscal quarter of 2010.
Net income was $2.3 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2011, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first fiscal quarter of 2010. Earnings per diluted share for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 included a discrete tax benefit of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, resulting from the reversal of tax reserves for various jurisdictions’ tax matters, as well as a discrete benefit resulting from the enactment of legislation extending the research and development credit that allowed Digi to record tax credits earned during the last three quarters of fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Please refer to the table reconciling net income and net income per diluted share to non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share that is provided later in this earnings release.
Digi’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance was $91.6 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $4.0 million over the cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at September 30, 2010. Please refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows that are included in this earnings release for additional cash flow details.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or similar terminology. Such statements are based on information available to management as of the time of such statements and relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market and statements regarding the Company’s mission and vision. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks related to the highly competitive market in which the Company operates, rapid changes in technologies that may displace products sold by the Company, declining prices of networking products, the Company’s reliance on distributors, delays in the Company’s product development efforts, uncertainty in consumer acceptance of the Company’s products, uncertainty in global economic conditions which could negatively affect product demand and the financial solvency of the Company’s customers and suppliers, the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies associated with acquisitions, and changes in the Company’s level of revenue or profitability. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Many of such factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This release includes non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share data. Management understands that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by the Company. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Digi believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Digi’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Digi’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Digi believes that providing net income and net income per diluted share exclusive of discrete tax benefits permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of
Digi International Reports First Fiscal Quarter 2011 Results
the Company. In addition, shareholders in the Company have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of decisions relating to taxes, which while important, are not central to the core operations of Digi’s business.
