Nimble Storage Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Third Quarter 2015
| • | Revenues Grew 77%; Over 4,300 Total Customers Worldwide |

San Jose, Calif. – November 25, 2014 – Nimble Storage (NYSE: NMBL), the flash storage solutions company, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter 2015. The Company has released a discussion of these results by posting the current Shareholder Letter on its website at http://investors.nimblestorage.com.
“We believe that our adaptive flash platform is the broadest architectural approach and is superior to the approach of major incumbents as well as emerging companies in our industry,” said Suresh Vasudevan, chief executive officer, Nimble Storage. “During the last year, we have had a very strong track record for delivering innovation culminating in the early delivery of our Fibre Channel product that expands the market opportunity four-fold.”
“Q3 marked another quarter of strong growth and momentum as we more than doubled our customer base over the last year, adding 568 new customers during the quarter to over 4,300 customers in total,” said Anup Singh, chief financial officer. “We also realized rapid growth in large deals, resulting in a double-digit sequential increase and an all-time high in new customer ASPs combined with strong contribution from international markets which accounted for 20% of total revenue this quarter.”
Fiscal Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results:
| • | Revenue was $59.1 million, up 77% year-over-year and above our guidance of $56 to $58 million |
| • | Non-GAAP gross margin was 67.1% up by 0.7 percentage points from 66.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 |
| • | Non-GAAP operating loss was $9.7 million, better than our guidance for an operating loss of $11 to $12 million |
| • | Non-GAAP operating margin improved to negative 16% compared to negative 24% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA was negative $8.6 million or negative 15% of revenue compared to negative 21% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 |
| • | GAAP net loss was $0.39 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.48 per basic and diluted share in the fiscal third quarter of 2014 |
| • | Non-GAAP net loss was $0.15 per basic and diluted share, ahead of our guidance of $0.16 to $0.17 loss per share, compared with a net loss of $0.13 per basic and diluted share in the fiscal third quarter of 2014 |
| • | Foreign exchange loss was $1.1 million, which had a $0.01 per share impact on basic and diluted loss per share |

Recent Business Highlights:
| • | Nimble Storage Advances Adaptive Flash Platform: Releases Fibre Channel Storage Arrays. The recently introduced Nimble CS300, CS500 and CS700 series arrays now offer both iSCSI and Fibre Channel protocol support, enabling Nimble to effectively address enterprise-wide storage requirements and quadruple the addressable market the company is now able to serve. More than 40 enterprises participated in the formal beta program, resulting in customers purchasing and deploying the arrays in production environments. |
| • | Nimble Storage Delivers Choice and Control with Industry’s First Utility-based Storage on Demand Pricing Model. Nimble’s Storage on Demand, a pay-as-you-go offering, is a true utility-based model that eliminates archaic long-term commitments by delivering service levels based on actual requirements and usage versus pre-defined hardware configurations. |
| In addition, organizations building private or public clouds leveraging OpenStack can now fully realize the value of Nimble’s Adaptive Flash platform to predict, manage and deliver the storage required to optimize business applications and workloads across their IT environments. With these innovative new pricing and deployment models, Nimble is providing enterprises and service providers with the highest level of choice and control over their storage infrastructure within cloud environments. |
| • | Nimble Storage Named a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for General-Purpose Disk Arrays, published on November 20, 2014, for the Second Consecutive Year. The report analyzes providers of midrange, high-end and network-attached storage systems, and hybrid arrays and positions vendors into one of four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries and Niche Players. Nimble was recognized as a Visionary based on the company’s vision and ability to execute. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, Nimble Storage has disclosed in this release and the accompanying tables non-GAAP financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The Company provides non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and adjusted EBITDA. In computing these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company excludes the effects of stock-based compensation, which is a recurring expense for the Company. The Company has provided a reconciliation below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The Company discloses these non-GAAP financial measures because they are key measures used by the Company’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve the annual budget and to develop short-term and long-term operational and compensation plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating non-GAAP financial measures can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s business. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results in the same manner as the Company’s management and board of directors.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and, as such, should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| • | Non-GAAP financial measures do not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation, which is an ongoing expense for the Company; and |
| • | Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. |
