Net sales for the third quarter ended March 31, 2012 totaled $240.2 million, down 3.9% from $249.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $7.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share, a decrease of 33.8% from the net income of $10.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. Included in net income for the quarter is $2.6 million of stock-based compensation expense (pre-tax). Excluding this item and the related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $8.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $12.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior year. On a sequential basis, non-GAAP net income decreased from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 by $2.4 million or $0.06 per diluted share.

Gross margin for the third quarter was 17.0% compared to 16.2% in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter was 17.0% compared to 16.2% in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin was 17.1% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short and long term investments at March 31, 2012 were $92.2 million compared to $75.2 million at June 30, 2011. Free cash flow in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.2 million.

Business Outlook & Management Commentary

The Company expects net sales of $280 million to $310 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 ending June 30, 2012. The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.27 to $0.32 for the fourth quarter.

“We are pleased that we grew revenue year over year in a seasonally soft quarter despite the headwinds of the hard drive shortage and pause in purchasing leading up the Sandy Bridge technology transition. We saw improvement in our system sales to 48.5% and as a result our gross margins held steady,” said Charles Liang, CEO of Supermicro. “With the worst of the hard drive shortage behind us and the recent strong launch of Sandy Bridge we are looking forward to a much stronger growth in the remainder of calendar 2012. Our R&D investment while higher than expected in the new Sandy Bridge generation product lines has well positioned us ahead of competition with the broadest product offering in the industry. A new server refresh cycle is beginning and with our new product architectures and our data center optimized product such as the Fat Twin leading the server industry’s innovation, we expect our upcoming performance to be strong.”

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP gross margin discussed in this press release excludes stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and net income per share discussed in this press release exclude stock-based compensation expense, 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.
