The financial results included in this press release are preliminary and pending final review by the company and its external auditors. Financial results will not be final until SolarWinds files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period. Information about SolarWinds' use of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Recent Business Highlights
“While we addressed a number of strategic and operational items during the second quarter that we believe will positively impact our future results, our license sales results did not meet our expectations. Despite the shortfall in license sales, we delivered solid year-over-year total revenue growth of 21% and non-GAAP operating margins and non-GAAP EPS well ahead of our outlook,” said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds' President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Although we have had a slow start to 2013 relative to our outlook, our confidence in our core business is high. We believe that we have a large and growing market opportunity across our network management, systems management, and MSP tools businesses that remains largely untapped. While the IT purchasing environment has been difficult and inconsistent with our expectations during the first half of 2013, we believe that addressing this opportunity is a matter of returning to the high level of execution we operated at throughout 2011 and 2012," stated Thompson.
"In addition, given our confidence in the size and immediacy of our existing market opportunity, our outlook for the second half of 2013 includes aggressive investments in our business including new product features and modules, demand generation and branding activities, and additional resources within our sales and product development organizations," added Thompson.
SolarWinds business highlights during the second quarter of 2013 include:
• | SolarWinds completed the acquisition of N-able Technologies®, giving SolarWinds a more effective and accelerated |
means of meeting the needs of the rapidly developing IT service market -- comprised of MSPs and Value-added Resellers, and the hundreds of thousands of SMBs they serve. The acquisition enhances SolarWinds' remote monitoring and management (RMM) offerings and adds MSP service automation to the range of IT management challenges that the company works to address for the entire IT community -- from large enterprises to the growing segment of small businesses who are deploying "light IT" and "no IT" initiatives.
• | Following the first quarter 2013 release of SolarWinds first full-featured free product, Alert Central™, SolarWinds continued to deliver on its commitment to the IT community with the release of two additional free tools. SolarWinds Firewall Browser enables IT professionals to easily troubleshoot firewalls and manage change requests from the convenience of the desktop. It is the only free firewall configuration search tool that supports unlimited searches on mixed-vendor inventory from a single convenient interface. After a brief hiatus, SolarWinds re-released the popular free-version of Kiwi Syslog® Server allowing IT pros to once again benefit from a simple way to collect, view and archive syslog messages and SNMP traps. |
• | SolarWinds continued to add depth and breadth to its product portfolio including several updates to key products in its Network Management portfolio. The latest release of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) added new network route and multicast monitoring capabilities to the already feature-rich flagship network monitoring product. The update to SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) added new IP Address conflict detection, which automatically detects duplicate IP addresses and sends conflict alerts for both static and DHCP environments and quickly resolves the conflicts using detailed IP address connection information, as well as integration with SolarWinds User Device Tracker (UDT). The IPAM-UDT integration provides integrated endpoint tracking to improve troubleshooting and network access protection and to allow users to view IP addresses, switch port details, and user logins in a single window. The second quarter release of SolarWinds User Device Tracker also added two new features that aid in actively managing and mitigating security risks on a network. Whitelisting now allows IT pros to define a list of safe devices based on MAC address, IP address or host name, and receive an alert when a rogue device not on the list connects to the network. Port shutdown enables IT pros to remotely shut down a compromised port with point-and-click simplicity while the event is audited. |
• | New versions of DameWare® Remote Support and SolarWinds Web Help Desk™ continued to improve the utility of both products. DameWare Remote Support now features DameWare Mobile, a mobile application for use on an iPhone or iPad that allows IT admins to connect remotely to Windows desktops, laptops and servers and share users' screens to provide support and troubleshooting from any location. DameWare Mobile includes an intuitive virtual mouse, keyboard, and hotkey controls that allow for simplified navigating and troubleshooting of an end-user's system and features enhancements to ensure secure remote connection. Web Help Desk's new automatic asset discovery, allows users to keep IT inventory current by scheduling automated discovery of all hardware and software assets and information including hostname, model, serial number, logged-in user, operating system, hard drive, memory, and installed software. The product also added integration to SolarWinds NPM, SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) and SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM). |
“Driven by the leverage built into our business model and a strong revenue contribution from N-able, we delivered non-GAAP operating margins and non-GAAP EPS that exceeded our outlook during the second quarter, despite a shortfall in our license revenue results. That profitability helped translate into $41.3 million of free cash flow, representing 53% of revenue,” said Mike Berry, SolarWinds' Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
“In an effort to improve our level of new business growth, we plan to make significant investments across our business for the second half of 2013. In spite of these investments, we have increased our outlook for non-GAAP operating margins and non-GAAP EPS for the year,” added Berry.
Financial Outlook
As of July 25, 2013, SolarWinds is providing its financial outlook for its third quarter and full year of 2013. 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 third quarter of 2013 and for the full year 2013. 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 Third Quarter of 2013
SolarWinds' management currently expects to achieve the following results for the third quarter of 2013, which includes the impact of the N-able Technologies acquisition completed on May 28, 2013:
• | Total revenue in the range of $84.7 to $87.2 million, or 18% to 22% growth over the third quarter of 2012. |
• | Non-GAAP operating income representing 44% to 45% of revenue. |
• | Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.35 to $0.36. |
• | Weighted average outstanding diluted shares of approximately 77.1 million. |
Financial Outlook for Full Year 2013
SolarWinds' management is revising its outlook, previously announced on May 21, 2013, and currently expects to achieve the following results for the full year 2013, which includes the impact of the N-able Technologies acquisition completed on May 28, 2013:
• | Total 2013 revenue in the range of $322.7 to $327.7 million, or 20% to 22% year-over-year growth. |
• | Non-GAAP operating income for the full year representing approximately 49% of revenue. |
• | Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.51 to $1.54. |
• | Weighted average outstanding diluted shares of approximately 77.0 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 third quarter and full year 2013, the impact of strategic and operational items addressed in the second quarter on our future results, our market opportunity and our ability to address such market opportunity and our plans for investments in our business. 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,” “plan,” “expect,” 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 possibility that general economic conditions or uncertainty cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed; (c) the inability to expand our sales operations effectively; (d) the presence or absence of occasional large customer orders, including in particular those placed by the U.S. federal government; (e) the inability to increase sales to existing customers and to attract new customers; (f) SolarWinds' ability to successfully identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions; (g) the timing and success of new product introductions and product upgrades by SolarWinds or its competitors; (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, 2012 and the Form 10-Q that SolarWinds anticipates filing on or before August 9, 2013. 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 the write-off of fixed assets and accelerated depreciation on leasehold improvements, 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. |
(5) | 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. |
(6) | 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. |

(1) | 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. |
