Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains 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. These forward-looking statements may relate, among other things,  to our expected
financial and operating results, our ability to build and grow Supermicro, the benefit 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 based servers, blade servers and embedded applications, increased competition, difficulties
of predicting timing of new product introductions, 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.
For a further list and description of risks and uncertainties, see the reports filed by Supermicro with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Supermicro disclaims any
intention or obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. Supplemental information, condensed balance sheets and statements of operations follow.
All monetary amounts are stated in U.S. dollars.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP gross margin in this presentation excludes stock-based compensation expense and
accrued customs fee for prior periods. Non-GAAP net income and net income per share in this
presentation exclude stock-based compensation expense, accrued customs fee for prior periods 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 the press release that was issued
announcing the Company’s operating and financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  In
addition, a reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP results is contained in the financial summary
attached to today’s presentation and is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at
www.supermicro.com
in the Events and Presentations section. 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.
