Wind River Reports First Quarter Revenues of $32.6 Million

ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 1999--Wind River
Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:WIND), the world leader in embedded development
software and engineering services for the post-PC era, reported
operating results for the first quarter ended April 30, 1999.

Total revenues for the first quarter were $32.6 million, a 23%
increase from revenues of $26.4 million reported in the same period of
fiscal 1999. Operating income in the first quarter was $6.4 million,
compared to $6.3 million for the corresponding period in fiscal year
1999. Net income, including one-time charges, for the first quarter of
fiscal year 2000 was $4.2 million, compared to net income of $4.4
million for the first quarter of fiscal year 1999.

As announced on April 7, 1999, Wind River Systems purchased
certain assets of Xact, Inc. As part of this acquisition, Wind River
Systems hired the Xact employee team and incurred pre-tax charges of
approximately $800,000 related to the impairment of previous
investments and distribution arrangements with Xact. The one-time
charges are included in other income.

For the first quarter, diluted earnings per share of $0.10
decreased from $0.11 earned in the same period in fiscal 1999.
Excluding the pre-tax charges associated with the Xact transaction,
Wind River Systems would have earned $0.11 per diluted share. All
diluted earnings per share numbers have been adjusted to reflect a
3-for-2 stock split on February 4, 1999.

"Given the quarter reset that we made in early April, I am happy
that we met the revised revenue and earnings goals," stated Ronald A.
Abelmann, president and CEO. "Our acquisition of the assets of Xact
and the successful recruitment of its engineering team, combined with
the production release of Tornado(TM) II, should provide an excellent
baseline for continued growth through the year," added Abelmann.

"Shortly after the close of the quarter, we began shipping
Tornado II, the first major upgrade to our award-winning development
environment for embedded software. As the embedded industry becomes
more mainstream and post-PC era takes hold, new developers are
entering our market with a different set of expectations. The
ease-of-use in Tornado II will fuel innovation and accelerate the
introduction of new products," said Jerry Fiddler, chairman and
co-founder of Wind River Systems.

Other Highlights of the Quarter

Wind River technology is being used in many of today's most
innovative products. During the quarter Wind River software could be
found in throughout the Internet, in infrastructure technology and
connected devices.

Products in the Internet infrastructure based on Tornado and
VxWorks(R) include Broadband Access Systems' Cuda 12000 IP access
switch which was selected as the best new product in the WAN and
remote-access equipment category at the recent NetWorld + InterOp
tradeshow. Crossroads Systems, Inc., also chose Wind River's software
for the development of its next generation storage networking
solution. Crossroads Systems has become the defacto standard in
storage routing and is at the forefront of the future integration of
networks and storage solutions that will deliver startling advances in
the way that data is stored, retrieved and managed.

On the Internet appliance side, Tadpole Technology Plc announced
that it is using VxWorks and Wind River's Java solution, Personal
JWorks(TM)for its new Internet appliance, the Tadpole-CartesiaJ-Slate.
This device is a unique, Java-based mobile information system that
allows utility workers to retrieve and update on-line information
while in the field.

Telestream'ClipMail Pro allows digital master quality video,
audio, and timecode to be sent and received over existing data
networks. ClipMail Pro which is based on Tornado and the Company's
Zinc(R) graphics software, won the "Editor's Pick of Show" at the 1999
National Association of Broadcasters exhibition.

Traditional embedded markets like medical equipment continue to
take advantage of Wind River technology. The Cardiac Rhythm Management
Division of St. Jude Medical chose Wind River software to develop its
state-of-the-art APS3500 programmer, a user-friendly GUI-based system
used to program implantable pacemakers. Wind River's integrated
development environment enabled St. Jude to move to a
competitively-priced commercial RTOS and development tools from a
single source.
