AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/08/10 --
SolarWinds??, Inc. (NYSE: SWI), a leading
provider of powerful and affordable IT management software to more than
90,000 customers worldwide, today reported results for its fourth quarter
and fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.


Financial Results


SolarWinds reported record total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 of
$33.0 million, a 32% increase over total revenue in the fourth quarter of
2008, and reported total revenue for the full year 2009 of $116.4 million,
a 25% increase over total revenue for the full year 2008.


License revenue was $17.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009,
representing a 26% increase over license revenue in the fourth quarter of
2008. Maintenance revenue was $15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009,
representing a 40% increase over maintenance revenue in the fourth quarter
of 2008.


Non-GAAP operating income was $17.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009,
or 53% of revenue, compared to $13.3 million and 53% of revenue in the
fourth quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income was $13.5 million and non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share was $0.19 in the fourth quarter of 2009,
compared to $7.3 million and $0.12 per share in the fourth quarter of 2008.


On a GAAP basis, operating income was $6.9 million and diluted earnings per
share was $0.09 in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to operating income
of $11.3 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.09 in the fourth
quarter of 2008. For the full year 2009, operating income was $43.8
million
and diluted earnings per share was $0.52, compared to operating
income of $42.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.35 for the
full year 2008.


Non-GAAP operating income was $61.7 million for the full year 2009, or 53%
of revenue, compared to $48.8 million and 52% of revenue for the full year

expense, amortization of intangible assets, expenses related to the
secondary offering of common stock by certain of our stockholders, lawsuit
settlement and related legal fees, the write-off of debt issuance costs and
the related tax impact of these items. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share

outstanding, which adjusts GAAP weighted average shares outstanding to
assume that the conversion of preferred stock in May 2009 occurred at the
beginning of the applicable period.

quarter of 2009, representing a 71% increase over net cash provided by
operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2008. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $49.2 million for the full year 2009, representing
a 40% increase over net cash provided by operating activities for the full

operating activities plus cash interest paid, cash taxes paid and lawsuit
settlement and related legal fees, was $21.0 million in the fourth quarter
of 2009 and $68.4 million for the full year 2009 as compared to $13.9
million
and $57.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year of 2008,
respectively.

provided under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.


Recent Business Highlights


"The fourth quarter of 2009 was a strong quarter for SolarWinds, primarily
due to a significant increase in interest and purchasing activity from
commercial market customers, globally," said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds'
President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. "The
investments we have made over the past year in our product portfolio,
coupled with the focus on our international sales and marketing efforts,
have resulted in not only increased global demand for SolarWinds' products,
but also improved our ability to satisfy that demand."


"2009 was an important year for SolarWinds," added Mike Bennett,
SolarWinds' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "and our fourth quarter
results and achievements are a reflection of investments and initiatives we
made throughout the year in our people, products, operations and market
awareness. As we continue to drive further demand for our products, we
believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on that demand, and to
quickly and seamlessly add capacity to our operations as needed."


Other business highlights:



-- In December 2009, the outstanding litigation with a former employee,
which has been previously disclosed in SolarWinds' public filings, was
completely and fully resolved. This resulted in settlement costs and
related legal fees of $7.5 million in the fourth quarter.
-- SolarWinds released new versions of key products, including its most
popular free tool, SolarWinds TFTP Server, and SolarWinds ipMonitor.
SolarWinds also released updates to Orion Network Configuration Manager
(NCM), Orion Application Performance Monitor (APM), and Orion IP
Address Manager (IPAM).
-- In November, SolarWinds facilitated the secondary offering of
13.8 million shares of common stock by certain of its stockholders.
-- For the second year in a row, SolarWinds was chosen by Redmond
magazine's
readers as the best Independent Software Vendor (ISV) and
preferred performance management product over HP OpenView?? in the
2009 Reader's Choice Awards. SolarWinds Network Management Software
was also named the ISV winner and preferred product in the "Best
Network Management Product" category.
-- In January 2010, SolarWinds completed the acquisition of
Tek-Tools, Inc., expanding its product offerings to include storage
resource and virtualization management.



"Our commitment to providing the IT community with powerful, easy-to-use
and affordable management solutions continues to be rewarded through broad
market recognition and the trust our customers place in our products to
help them manage mission-critical IT environments," continued Kevin
Thompson
. "Over the course of 2010 and as we expand into new areas, we hope
to continue to build on our reputation of delivering powerful, easy-to-use
and effective products that address the immediate needs of our customers
and the market."


Financial Outlook


As of February 8, 2010, SolarWinds is providing its guidance for its first
quarter of 2010 and its full year ending December 31, 2010. The financial
information below represents forward-looking non-GAAP financial
information, including an estimate of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP
net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter
and full year 2010. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude, among other
items mentioned previously, stock-based compensation expense and
acquisition-related costs. SolarWinds cannot reasonably estimate the
expected stock-based compensation expense 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 acquisitions
are not something that SolarWinds can estimate because it is a function of
what acquisitions, if any, are completed and what kinds of costs are
incurred in connection with any such acquisitions.


Financial Outlook for Full Year 2010


SolarWinds management currently expects to achieve the following results
for the full year 2010:



-- Total revenue in the range of $159.0-$164.0 million
-- Non-GAAP operating income of $77.5-$80.5 million
-- Non-GAAP net income of $54.0-$56.0 million
-- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.72-$0. 75
-- Weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 74.8 million



Financial Outlook for the First Quarter of 2010


SolarWinds management currently expects to achieve the following results
for the first quarter of 2010:



-- Total revenue in the range of $33.7-$34.7 million
-- Non-GAAP operating income of $16.2-$16.7 million
-- Non-GAAP net income of $11.3-$11.7 million
-- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.15-$0.16
-- Weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 73.8 million

Forward-Looking Statements


This press release contains "forward-looking" statements relating to
SolarWinds' possible or assumed future results of operations, potential
growth and market opportunities and SolarWinds' ability to execute on such
opportunities. 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 "expects,"
"believes," "hopes," "will," 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 possibility that
general economic conditions or uncertainty cause information technology
spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed; (b) the
presence or absence of occasional large customer orders, including in
particular those placed by the U.S. federal government; (c) the inability
to increase sales to existing customers and to attract new customers; (d)
the failure to integrate Tek-Tools and any future acquisitions
successfully; (e) the timing and success of new product introductions by
SolarWinds or its competitors; and (f) such other risk and uncertainties
described more fully in documents filed with or furnished to the Securities
and Exchange Commission
, including the Form 10-Q previously filed for the
third quarter of 2009 and Form 10-K for the full year 2009 that we
anticipate filing on or before February 28, 2010. 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 the following
non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net
income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash
flow and non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding. Each of non-GAAP
operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share
and adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of intangible assets, lawsuit settlement and related legal
fees, secondary offerings expenses and acquisition costs from the
comparable GAAP measure. Each of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA also excludes the write-off of debt
issuance costs and the tax benefits related to these items from the
comparable GAAP measure. This press release also contains a reconciliation
of each of these non-GAAP measures to its most comparable GAAP financial
measure.


SolarWinds believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides
meaningful supplemental information regarding its liquidity and performance
by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative
of its core business operations. SolarWinds' management and Board of
Directors use these non-GAAP measures to assess liquidity and operational
performance as well as to determine employee incentive compensation.
Accordingly, these measures may provide helpful insight to investors on the
motivation and decision-making of management in operating the business.


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 and liquidity 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.
These items are typically interest expense, income tax expense,
depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense.


SolarWinds also believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash flow are
useful liquidity measures for investors and security analysts. Adjusted
EBITDA is also the performance measure for two of the key operational
covenants used to assess SolarWinds' ability to service the debt in its
credit agreements. SolarWinds believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted
cash flow provide useful information to management and investors about the
amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of
property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including
investing in the business, making strategic acquisitions and increasing
cash balances.


SolarWinds understands that, although these non-GAAP financial measures are
frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations
of companies, 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. Items such as the amortization of
intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs,
interest expense and income tax expense that are excluded from these
non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on net earnings.
Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash flow does not reflect (a)
interest expense, interest income or cash requirements for income taxes;
(b) cash requirements for potential replacements of assets being
depreciated or amortized in the future; (c) cash expenditures or future
requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments; (d)
changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (e) cash
payment for the one-time settlement of an outstanding lawsuit and related
legal fees; or (f) 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, operating
income, net income, cash flow from operations or other measures of
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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 included elsewhere in this
press release.
