Information about SolarWinds' use of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Recent Business Highlights

“I am pleased to report that we kicked off 2014 with a strong start, including improved levels of performance in important areas of our business, such as the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions. The investments that we made to better attack our market opportunity around the globe translated into first quarter revenue and profitability that exceeded our outlook and puts us in a good position to deliver against this year’s goals,” said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds’ President and Chief Executive Officer.

“As we look to the rest of 2014, we believe that the management challenges created by the convergence of emerging technologies, like Cloud-based applications, and existing IT infrastructure investments offer SolarWinds an opportunity to continue to accelerate our revenue growth in 2014 and solidify our position as a leader in the IT management market. We anticipate that these technology shifts will impact both large and small IT organizations and that our product strength, depth of knowledge, and our experience serving the needs of a wide range of IT professionals provides us with the unique opportunity to help IT teams navigate this changing landscape and become the IT management provider of choice,” added Thompson.
Recent SolarWinds business highlights include:
During the first quarter, SolarWinds continued to build upon the functionality offered in its flagship network management and systems & application management products through new releases of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) and SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM). The highlight among a wealth of





new features included in SolarWinds SAM v6.1 is AppInsight for Exchange. This new functionality allows Exchange Administrators and Systems Administrators to proactively prevent downtime of business-critical email application availability with comprehensive technology that has traditionally only been available in expensive, specialized tools. In keeping with the tradition of delivering advanced functionality at a market-differentiating price, SolarWinds NPM v10.7 added new baseline threshold calculating functionality, providing a deep level of visibility and advanced analytics not previously available to network administrators at NPM’s price points.
SolarWinds built upon the N-able suite of products for Managed Service Providers with the addition of N-able Help Desk Manager, an MSP-optimized product for ticketing management. Help Desk Manager is available as a stand-alone product and is also fully-integrated with N-central®, the leading MSP service automation platform on the market.
SolarWinds products continued the streak of user and industry recognition, collecting top honors in network management, security management, virtualization management, and Remote IT and Help Desk Management from leading IT publications including Network Computing Magazine, SC Magazine, Virtualization Review, Windows Networking, Virtualization Admin, IT Europa, and Ed Tech Digest.

“Looking back at our performance in the first quarter, we are excited to see that the increased pace of investment in our core business that began in the third quarter of 2013 has had a positive impact on our results,” said Jason Ream, SolarWinds Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Offer. “We believe those investments, which span product development, marketing, sales, and support have laid the ground work needed to more effectively attack the market opportunity that exists today across network, systems, and application management. At the same time, we continue to work towards our strategic roadmap that will enable SolarWinds to bridge the gap between the management of on-premise and Cloud-based IT infrastructure,” added Ream.
Financial Outlook
As of April 29, 2014, SolarWinds is providing its financial outlook for its second quarter and full year of 2014. The financial information below represents forward-looking non-GAAP financial information, including an estimate of non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2014 and for the full year 2014. 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 costs 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 Second Quarter of 2014
SolarWinds' management currently expects to achieve the following results for the second quarter of 2014:
Total revenue in the range of $96.5 to $98.5 million, or 24% to 27% growth over the second quarter of 2013.
Non-GAAP operating income representing 40% to 41% of revenue.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.35 to $0.37.
Weighted average outstanding diluted shares of approximately 77.0 million.
Financial Outlook for Full Year 2014
SolarWinds' management currently expects to achieve the following results for the full year 2014:
Total 2014 revenue in the range of $409.0 to $421.0 million, or 22% to 26% year-over-year growth.
Non-GAAP operating income for the full year representing 41% to 42% of revenue.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.60 to $1.70.
Weighted average outstanding diluted shares of approximately 77.2 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 statements regarding SolarWinds' financial outlook for the second quarter and full year 2014, our belief that the management challenges created by the convergence of emerging technologies, like Cloud-based applications, and existing IT infrastructure investments offer us an opportunity to continue to accelerate our revenue growth in 2014 and solidify our position as a leader in the IT management market, our anticipation that these technology shifts will impact both large and small IT organizations and that our product strength, depth of knowledge, and our experience serving the needs of a wide range of IT professionals provides us with the unique opportunity to help IT teams navigate this changing landscape and become the IT management provider of choice and our belief that our increased investments, which began in the third quarter of 2013, have laid the ground work needed to more effectively attack the market opportunity that exists today across network, systems, and application management. 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 “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” 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 inability to generate significant volumes of sales leads from Internet search engines, marketing campaigns and traffic to our websites; (b) the inability to expand our sales operations effectively; (c) the inability to increase sales to existing customers and to attract new customers; (d) SolarWinds' ability to successfully identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions; (e) the possibility that general economic conditions or uncertainty cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed; (f) the timing and success of new product introductions and product upgrades by SolarWinds or its competitors; (g) the presence or absence of occasional large customer orders, including in particular those placed by the U.S. federal government; (h) potential foreign exchange gains and losses related to expenses and sales denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of an associated entity; and (i) such other risks and uncertainties described more fully in documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013 filed on February 14, 2014 and the Form 10-Q that SolarWinds anticipates filing on or before May 12, 2014. 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 certain non-GAAP financial measures. The tables below set forth a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to a GAAP financial measure that we consider to be most comparable. 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 certain of these non-GAAP measures to assess operational performance, allocate resources, prepare annual budgets, and determine employee incentive compensation. Accordingly, these measures may provide helpful insight to investors into 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 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.






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 can have a material impact on operating and net income. 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, the most comparable GAAP measures. 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 set forth in the tables below.

(1)
Amortization of Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information which excludes expenses for the amortization of intangible assets which primarily relate to purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, because the amortization of intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions, which also vary in frequency from period to period. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses.
(2)
Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer-Paid Payroll Taxes. We provide non-GAAP information which excludes expenses for stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes. We believe the exclusion of these items allows for financial results that are more indicative of our continuing operations. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. Employer-paid payroll taxes on stock-based compensation is dependent on our stock price and the timing of the taxable events related to the equity awards, over which our management has little control, and does not correlate to the core operation of our business. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation and the related employer-paid payroll taxes, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization's business performance.





(3)
Acquisition Related Adjustments. We exclude certain expense items resulting from acquisitions including the following, when applicable: (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions (see Note 1 for further discussion); (ii) legal, accounting and advisory fees to the extent associated with acquisitions; (iii) changes in fair value of contingent consideration; (iv) costs related to integrating the acquired businesses; and (v) restructuring costs, including adjustments related to changes in estimates, related to acquisitions. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, acquisitions result in non-continuing operating expenses, which would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations, with respect to each acquisition. We believe that providing non-GAAP information for acquisition related expense items in addition to the corresponding GAAP information allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our continuing operations, and also facilitates comparisons to our historical results and results of less acquisitive peer companies, both with and without such adjustments.
(4)
Restructuring Charges. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes restructuring charges such as severance, relocation and benefits and the estimated costs of exiting and terminating facility lease commitments, including accelerated depreciation on leasehold improvements and fixed assets, as they relate to our corporate restructuring and exit activities. These restructuring charges are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Income Tax Effect of Non-GAAP Exclusions. We believe providing financial information with and without the income tax effect of excluding items related to our non-GAAP financial measures provide our management and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding the ongoing performance and future liquidity of our business.

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share Item. We provide non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. The non-GAAP diluted earnings per share amount was calculated based on our non-GAAP net income and the shares used in the computation of GAAP diluted earnings per share.

Free Cash Flow. We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities plus the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and less the purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure that reflects 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. Free cash flow margin is defined as free cash flow divided by total revenue.
