The company exited the first quarter of 2015 with cash and cash equivalents of $46.3 million. This compares to $40.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2014 and $42.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.

“In summary, Q1 was a very solid start to 2015, and we were able to continue the strong growth and momentum that started in earnest the prior quarter,” said Hanif Jamal, chief financial officer, Dot Hill Systems. “The mid-point of guidance for Q2 that we issued today represents 24% year-over-year growth and about a 3x increase in non-GAAP revenue and earnings per share respectively.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, legal settlements and associated expenses, intangible asset amortization, restructuring and severance charges, charges or credits for contingent consideration adjustments, charges for impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, specific and significant warranty claims arising from a supplier’s defective products, the impact of our discontinued AssuredUVS software business and the effects of foreign currency gains or losses. The non-GAAP financial measures include the recognition of revenues and directly related costs associated with long-term AssuredVRA software contracts, which were deferred and amortized in the Company’s GAAP financial statements. The Company used these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal resource management, planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed in isolation from or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is attached to this press release.
