Server Solutions accounted for 40.4% of net sales compared with 31.8% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 and 32.2% in the same quarter of last year.

Net sales for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2011 totaled $260.3 million, up 29.1% from $201.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. One customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $10.7 million or $0.24 per diluted share, an increase of 39.1% from the net income of $7.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. Included in net income for the quarter is $2.3 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.8 million of accrued customs fee for prior periods (pre-tax). Excluding these items and the related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $13.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior year. On a sequential basis, non-GAAP net income increased from the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 by $0.7 million or $0.01 per diluted share.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 15.4% compared to 15.3% in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter was 15.5% compared to 15.4% in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin was 16.2% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short and long term investments at June 30, 2011 were $75.2 million compared to $79.4 million at June 30, 2010. Free cash flow in the year ended June 30, 2011 was ($16.9) million primarily due to an increase in inventory to support the growth of the Company and investments in property for our expansion overseas.

Fiscal Year 2011 Summary

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $942.6 million, up 30.7% from $721.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Excluding $8.1 million of stock based-compensation expense, $0.7 million of litigation related expense, $0.6 million of accrued customs fee for prior periods and related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year 2011 was $47.7 million or $1.10 per diluted share, an increase of 44.3% compared to $33.1 million or $0.78 per diluted share for fiscal year 2010.

Business Outlook & Management Commentary

The Company expects net sales of $240 million to $260 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 ending September 30, 2011. The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.23 to $0.27 for the first quarter.

“Supermicro achieved record revenues of $260 million in our fourth quarter and finished the fourth quarter 29% higher than last year. We had strong growth across our product lines last year, especially our Storage, Blade and Rackmount products, and we continued to build market share with our channel, OEM and direct customers,” said Charles Liang, Chairman and CEO. “While last year was a year of strong growth at Supermicro, continued aggressive R&D investment in our products, our leadership for upcoming technology launches, and the development of our Asia facility give us confidence that fiscal 2012 will continue our strong momentum and growth.”

It is currently expected that the outlook will not be updated until the Company’s next quarterly earnings announcement, notwithstanding subsequent developments. However, 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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this press release that are not historical fact may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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. Such forward-looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. 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 and accrued customs fee for prior periods. Non-GAAP net income and net income per share discussed in this press release exclude stock-based compensation expense, accrued customs fee for prior periods, a provision for litigation costs 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.
