Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $7.6 million or $0.19 per diluted common share, an increase of 42.2% from the net income of $5.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share in the same period a year ago.

Business Outlook & Management Commentary

The Company expects net sales of $175 million to $185 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 ending March 31, 2010. The industry has historically seen a seasonally lower rate of growth in net sales in the fiscal third quarter. This quarter we have a good boost because of our very strong new product innovations, additional new market segment wins and a recovering economy offset in part by seasonality and the transition to new products. The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted common share of approximately $0.18 to $0.21 for the third quarter.

“Our second quarter was a record quarter for Supermicro and we grew 22.5% from the prior quarter, continuing our momentum of growth and profitability as the global economy recovers. Our growth is a result of the strongest and most extensive product lines that we have ever had at Supermicro, which enables us to be more competitive and gain more market share in larger deployment deals. Supermicro continues to benefit from our offerings that our customers value in this economy, especially maximizing performance per watt and per dollar. We continue to extend the Supermicro brand as a technology leader. Our pipeline of technology innovations and our rapid product development ability make us feel very confident that we are in the technology leading position in the industry.” said Charles Liang, President and Chief Executive Officer of Super Micro Computer.

It is currently expected that the outlook will be released at the Company’s next quarterly earnings announcement, notwithstanding subsequent developments. The Company may update the outlook or any portion thereof at any time. Such updates will take place only by way of a news release or other broadly disseminated disclosure available to all interested parties in accordance with Regulation FD.

Such forward-looking statements may relate, among other things, to our expected financial and operating results, our ability to build and grow Super Micro Computer, the benefits of our products and our ability to achieve our goals, plans and objectives.

These include, but are not limited to: our dependence on continued growth in the markets for X86, blade servers and embedded applications, increased competition, difficulties of predicting timing, introduction and customer acceptance of new products, poor product sales, difficulties in establishing and maintaining successful relationships with our distributors and vendors, shortages or price fluctuations in our supply chain, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to control the rate of expansion domestically and internationally, difficulty managing rapid growth and general political, economic and market conditions and events.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP gross margin discussed in this press release excludes stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and net income per common share discussed in this press release exclude stock-based compensation expense, a provision for litigation loss and the related tax effect of the applicable items. Management presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company’s performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. 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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, detailed reconciliations 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.
