GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $1.2
million or $0.03 per diluted share, a decrease of 75.5% from the net
income of $5.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the same period a

stock-based compensation expense (pre-tax). Excluding stock-based
compensation expense and the related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for
the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $2.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted
share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $6.0 million, or $0.15 per
diluted share, in the same quarter of last year. On a sequential basis,
non-GAAP net income decreased from the second quarter of fiscal year
2009 by $4.3 million from $6.7 million and decreased by $0.11 from $0.17
per diluted share.
GAAP gross margin for the third quarter declined to 14.9%, compared to
18.2% in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for the third
quarter was 15.0% compared to 18.2% in the same period a year ago. On a
sequential basis, non-GAAP gross margin decreased by 3.9% from 18.9% in
the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Nine Month Summary
Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were $382.2 million,
down 2.4% from $391.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal year
2008. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 was $13.7
million or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $18.6 million or $0.48
per diluted share in the same period a year ago. Excluding stock
based-compensation expense and related tax effect, non-GAAP net income

June 30, 2008. Free cash flow in the nine months ended March 31, 2009
was $10.7 million.
Management Commentary & Business Outlook
"We've previously said that the third fiscal quarter was challenging
principally due to the global economic recession and to the technology
transition in advance of the Intel Nehalem CPU launch. We believe that
the worst of this period may be behind us and we continue to focus on
our execution and bright future," said Charles Liang, CEO of Supermicro.
"Now that the long-awaited launch of the Nehalem CPU has just started,
it gives us strong opportunities to be first-to-market with the broadest
array of Nehalem building blocks to provide our customers unparalleled,
application optimized sever solutions. We are also confident that our
new architecture such as the highest performance per watt and per dollar
2U Twin2 severs and most powerful scientific computing GPU
servers are uniquely positioned for business success. As we have seen by
the wide market acceptance of our previous innovations such as 1U Twin
and UIO, this demonstration of technology leadership provides broad
opportunity for us to grow in the coming quarters."
Although the early indications for this quarter are that the Company's
business is picking up, the continuing economic uncertainty makes it
difficult to predict customer purchasing decisions and Supermicro's
business outlook for the fourth quarter could be different from actual
results.
The Company expects net sales to decrease 15% to 21% for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2009 ending June 30, 2009, compared to the fourth
fiscal quarter of last year, which represents a range of $117 million to
$127 million in net sales. In addition, the Company expects non-GAAP
earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.08 to $0.11 for the
fourth quarter.
It is currently expected that the outlook will not be updated until the
release of the Company's next annual 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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release that are not historical fact
may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements may relate, among other
things, to our expected financial and operating results, our ability to
build and grow Supermicro, the benefits of our products and our ability
to achieve our goals, plans and objectives. Such forward-looking
statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance and are
subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These
include, but are not limited to: current economic conditions, our
dependence on continued growth in the markets for X86, blade servers and
embedded applications, increased competition, difficulties of predicting
timing, introduction and customer acceptance of new products, poor
product sales, difficulties in establishing and maintaining successful
relationships with our distributors and vendors, shortages or price
fluctuations in our supply chain, our ability to protect our
intellectual property rights, our ability to control the rate of
expansion domestically and internationally, difficulty managing rapid
growth and general political, economic and market conditions and events.
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected or suggested in any forward-looking statements are
contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in
such filings.
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 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.
