Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.24 in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $0.19 in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Recent Business Highlights

“We are very pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter. We generated record total revenue driven by strong execution by our team,” said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds’ President and Chief Executive Officer.

“2010 was a very important year for SolarWinds, marking the beginning of our transformation from a singular focus on network management to a more expansive portfolio of powerful, easy to use, and affordable products that address the key areas of IT infrastructure management,” continued Thompson. “The acquisition of Tek-Tools earlier in the year was an important first step in this strategic move. The success that we have had in reaching Storage Admins and addressing their problems in much the same way as we have for Network Engineers and IT Generalists leads us to believe we can continue to expand the scope of management challenges we solve for an even broader audience of IT professionals. Already this year, we’re sustaining this momentum with the launch of SolarWinds Application Performance Monitor and the acquisition of Hyper9 for virtualization management. Looking ahead, we expect to continue to expand the markets in which we sell while executing on the vast opportunities we have in network, application, storage, and virtualization management.”

Other business highlights during the fourth quarter of 2010 include:

 

   

SolarWinds released the latest version of Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) with specific support for data center networks, including support for Cisco UCS, fibre channel switches, improved visibility into virtual infrastructure and the ability to view Orion NPM from mobile devices such as iPhone, Blackberry and Android.

 

   

SolarWinds released new versions of Storage Profiler, Orion IP SLA Monitor (IP SLA), Orion IP Address Manager (IPAM), and Kiwi Syslog and CatTools.

 

   

SolarWinds received four honors in Redmond Magazine’s 2010 Readers Choice Awards, including Best Performance Management Product and Best Virtualization Management and Optimization Product. In addition, Windows IT Pro Magazine named SolarWinds the “2010 Editors’ Best” gold medal winner in the Best Network Management Product Category.

 

   

SolarWinds introduced Permissions Analyzer for Active Directory, a free tool for system administrators to track user and group permissions.

 

   

SolarWinds established its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Brisbane, Australia for sales and customer support to the Australasia and greater Asia-Pacific region.

“We had solid financial results in the fourth quarter as our non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were all above our expectations,” added Mike Berry, SolarWinds’ Chief Financial Officer. “Heading into 2011, SolarWinds is well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities in both existing and new markets. While targeting these growth opportunities, we intend to continue to leverage our powerful business model to deliver strong margins and cash flow.”


Financial Outlook

As of February 9, 2011, SolarWinds is providing its financial outlook for its first quarter and full year of 2011. The financial information below represents forward-looking non-GAAP financial information, including an estimate of non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2011 and for the full year 2011. 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 First Quarter of 2011

SolarWinds management currently expects to achieve the following results for the first quarter of 2011:

 

   

Total revenue in the range of $41.5–$42.7 million.

 

   

Non-GAAP operating income representing 46%–48% of revenue, which includes 2%-3% of impact related to the acquisition of Hyper9.

 

   

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.18–$0.19, which includes approximately $0.01 of impact related to the acquisition of Hyper9.

 

   

Weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 74.0 million.

Financial Outlook for Full Year 2011

SolarWinds management currently expects to achieve the following results for the full year 2011:

 

   

Total revenue in the range of $184.4–$190.5 million.

 

   

Non-GAAP operating income representing approximately 48%-49% of revenue, which includes 1%-2% of impact related to the acquisition of Hyper9.

 

   

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.82–$0.88, which includes approximately $0.02 of impact related to the acquisition of Hyper9.

 

   

Weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 76.0 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 belief in its ability to rapidly expand the scope of the management challenges it solves for an even broader audience of IT professionals, its expectations to expand its market opportunities and capitalize on these new opportunities as well as existing opportunities, and its intention to leverage its business model to deliver best-in-class margins and cash flow. 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 “continues,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends” 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 possibility that general economic conditions or uncertainty cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed; (b) the presence or absence of occasional large customer orders, including in particular those placed by the U.S. federal government; (c) the inability to increase sales to existing customers and to attract new customers; (d) SolarWinds’ failure to integrate acquired businesses and any future acquisitions successfully; (e) the timing and success of new product introductions by SolarWinds or its competitors; (f) changes in SolarWinds’ pricing policies or those of 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-K that SolarWinds anticipates filing on or before March 16, 2011. 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 the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding and free cash flow. Each of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, lawsuit settlement costs and related legal fees, expenses related to potential and completed follow-on offerings of common stock, certain acquisition-related costs and severance costs related to retirement of our former Executive Chairman from the comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share also exclude the write-off of debt issuance costs, any change in fair value of contingent consideration potentially payable in our acquisitions and the related tax benefits of the excluded items from the comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is equal to non-GAAP net income divided by non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding, which adjusts GAAP weighted average shares outstanding for the first and second quarters of 2009 to assume that the conversion of our preferred stock in May 2009 occurred at the beginning of the applicable period. SolarWinds defines free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities plus excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation less purchases of property and equipment. This press release contains a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

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 these non-GAAP measures to


assess operational performance as well as 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 to management, investors and security analysts 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. These items are typically interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes.

SolarWinds understands that, although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, 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, such as the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes and acquisition-related costs, can have a material impact on net earnings. 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, operating income, net income, cash flows from operating activities, revenue or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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 included elsewhere in this press release.
