Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes the following supplemental non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. The presentation of this supplemental non-GAAP financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, these measures may be materially different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Wind River is providing these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that such measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors about the company’s core operating results, primarily because the non-GAAP measures exclude certain expenses and other amounts that management does not consider to be indicative of the company’s core operating results or business outlook. Wind River management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the company’s operating performance, in planning and forecasting future periods, in making decisions regarding business operations and the allocation of resources, and in comparing the company’s performance against its historical performance. For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures, including the reasons management uses these measures, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see the following sections of this release entitled “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per Share Targets.” All non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the comparable information presented in accordance with GAAP. Unless specified otherwise in this release, all references to GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are calculated on a fully-diluted basis.
