  The financial results included in this press release are preliminary and pending  final review by the company and its external auditors. Financial results will not  be final until SolarWinds files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period.  Information about SolarWinds' use of these non-GAAP financial measures is  provided below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." 
  Recent Business Highlights "We are pleased with our second quarter results. Our  revenue and bookings growth trends highlight the momentum that we have created  with our strategy to extend the SolarWinds brand into new areas of IT  management," said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds' President and CEO. 
  "Users expressed healthy demand for our new products, including SolarWinds  Storage Manager, Virtualization Manager, User Device Tracker, and Application  Performance Monitor. In addition, the release of SolarWinds Log and Event  Manager, which is based on technology we acquired from TriGeo, has received a  positive initial reception from the market. We believe it addresses a long-time  need from our user base for a powerful, affordable and easy-to-use solution for  log and event management." 
  SolarWinds' business highlights during the second quarter of 2011 include: 
  --SolarWinds released SolarWinds Virtualization Manager and SolarWinds  Storage Manager, which are complementary and comprehensive solutions  designed to help the IT community conquer virtualization complexity as  environments scale and mature, including managing the server  virtualization layer and optimizing storage performance and capacity  for virtualization.  --SolarWinds announced the acquisition of TriGeo, which adds affordable  and easy-to-use solutions for log and event management to its family  of offerings, and further extends the range of problems SolarWinds can  solve for its users.  --SolarWinds introduced SolarWinds User Device Tracker (UDT), which  provides network engineers with a powerful, affordable, and  easy-to-use solution for comprehensive switch port mapping, historical  switch port tracking, switch capacity analysis, and watch list alerts.  --SolarWinds introduced Real-Time AppFlow Analyzer (RTAFA), which is a  free tool for monitoring AppFlow(TM), an emerging application data  capture method from Citrix.  --SolarWinds also introduced SAN Monitor for EMC CLARiiON, a free tool  for real-time insight into storage performance and capacity on EMC  CLARiiON disk arrays and SAN devices. 
  "Looking back on the year so far, we're very pleased with our financial  performance. In addition to accelerating revenue growth, we generated  year-over-year operating cash flow growth of 29% along with non-GAAP operating  margins of over 50% in each quarter even after taking into account the  acquisition of Hyper9 in January," added Mike Berry, SolarWinds' Chief Financial  Officer. "For the second half of the year, we plan to remain focused on  delivering strong margins and cash flow despite the significant investments we  continue to make in order to drive future growth in our business." 
  Financial Outlook As of August 3, 2011, SolarWinds is providing its financial  outlook for its third quarter and full year of 2011. The financial outlook  includes the anticipated impact of the acquisition of TriGeo, which was completed  on July 1, 2011. The financial information below represents forward-looking  non-GAAP financial information, including an estimate of non-GAAP operating  income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2011  and for the full year 2011. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude, among  other items mentioned below, stock-based compensation expense and related  employer-paid payroll taxes. SolarWinds cannot reasonably estimate the expected  stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes 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  non-recurring items and acquisitions are not something that SolarWinds can  estimate because they are a function of what non-recurring items and  acquisitions, if any, occur and the kind of costs incurred in connection with any  such non-recurring items or acquisitions. 
  Financial Outlook for the Third Quarter of 2011 SolarWinds management currently  expects to achieve the following results for the third quarter of 2011: 
  --Total revenue in the range of $50.5-$52.5 million.  --Non-GAAP operating income representing approximately 48% of revenue.  --Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.21-$0.23.  --Weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 75.5 million. 
  Financial Outlook for Full Year 2011 SolarWinds management currently expects to  achieve the following results for the full year 2011: 
  --Total revenue in the range of $191.5-$196.0 million.  --Non-GAAP operating income representing approximately 49%-50% of  revenue.  --Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.86-$0.90.  --Weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 75.0 million. 
  Conference Call and Webcast In conjunction with this announcement, SolarWinds  will host a conference call today to discuss its financial results and other  business at 4:00pm CDT (5:00pm EDT/2). A live webcast of the event, including any  supplemental information, will be available on the SolarWinds Investor Relations  website at ir.solarwinds.com.

A  replay of the webcast will be available on a temporary basis shortly after the  event on the SolarWinds Investor Relations website. 
  Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains "forward-looking"  statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private  Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including SolarWinds' financial outlook  and its plan to remain focused on delivering strong margins and cash flow. 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 "continues," "plans," "believes," "intends" 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) SolarWinds' failure to integrate acquired businesses  and any future acquisitions successfully; (e) the timing and success of new  product introductions by SolarWinds or its competitors; (f) changes in  SolarWinds' pricing policies or those of its competitors; (g) potential foreign  exchange gains and losses related to expenses and sales denominated in currencies  other than the functional currency of an associated entity; and (h) such other  risks and uncertainties described more fully in documents filed with or furnished  to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-Q that  SolarWinds anticipates filing on or before August 9, 2011. 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  certain non-GAAP financial measures. The tables below set forth a reconciliation  of each of these non-GAAP measures to a GAAP financial measure that we consider  to be most comparable. SolarWinds believes that each of these non-GAAP financial  measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance  by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its core business  operations. SolarWinds' management and Board of Directors use certain of these  non-GAAP measures to assess operational performance and 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 considers free cash flow also to be a liquidity measure that  provides important information regarding the cash generated by the business after  the purchase of property and equipment that can then be used for, among other  things, strategic acquisitions and investments in the business, stock repurchases  and funding ongoing operations. 
  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 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. 
  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.  Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a  material impact on operating and net income. In addition, free cash flow does not  represent 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 the most comparable GAAP  measures. 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 set forth in the tables  below.

  (1) Amortization of Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information  which excludes expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Because  of varying fair value amounts of intangible assets, subjective impairment  assumptions and the variety of useful lives, which affect the recognition  of amortization expense, we believe that the exclusion of amortization  expense allows for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to  our peer companies. We also exclude amortization of purchased intangible  assets associated with our acquisitions. The amortization of purchased  intangible assets associated with our acquisitions results in our  recording expenses in our GAAP financial statements that were already  expensed by the acquired company before the acquisition and for which we  have not expended cash. Moreover, had we internally developed the products  acquired, the amortization of intangible assets, and the expenses of  uncompleted research and development would have been expensed in prior  periods. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each  period without regard to such expenses. 
  (2) Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer-Paid Payroll  Taxes. We provide non-GAAP information which excludes expenses for stock-  based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes. We believe the  exclusion of these items allows for financial results that are more  indicative of our continuing operations. We believe that the exclusion of  stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our  operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the  calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and  company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective  assumptions and the variety of award types. Employer-paid payroll taxes on  stock based compensation is dependent on our stock price and the timing of  the taxable events related to the equity awards, over which our management  has little control, does not correlate to the core operation of our  business. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based  compensation and the related employer-paid payroll taxes, management  excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization's business  performance. 
  (3) Other Items. We exclude certain other unplanned items which we believe  are not indicative of our continuing operations and which amounts and  timing are difficult to estimate in advance, including the following, when  applicable: (i) write-off of debt issuance costs; (ii) public offering  costs; (iii) lawsuit settlement costs and related legal fees, net of  related reimbursements from insurance proceeds; (iv) severance costs  related to retirement of certain executive officers; and (v) the income  tax effect on our financial statements of excluding items related to our  non-GAAP financial measures. Although these events are reflected in our  GAAP financials, these transactions which are not indicative of our  continuing operations may limit the comparability of our ongoing  operations with prior and future periods. We also believe providing  financial information with and without the income tax effect of excluding  items related to our non-GAAP financial measures provide our management  and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding the  on-going performance and future liquidity of our business. Because of  these factors, we assess our operating performance both with these amounts  included and excluded, and by providing this information, we believe the  users of our financial statements are better able to understand the  financial results of what we consider our continuing operations. 
  (4) Acquisition Related Charges. We exclude certain expense items resulting  from acquisitions including the following, when applicable: (i)  amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our  acquisitions (see Note 1 for further discussion); (ii) acquisition related  charges such as legal, accounting and advisory fees; (iii) changes in fair  value of contingent consideration; (iv) costs related to integrating the  acquired businesses; and (v) restructuring costs, including adjustments  related to changes in estimates, related to acquisitions. Acquisitions  result in non-continuing operating expenses, which would not otherwise  have been incurred by us in the normal course of our business operations.  We believe that providing non-GAAP information for acquisition related  expense items in addition to the corresponding GAAP information allows the  users of our financial statements to better review and understand the  historic and current results of our continuing operations, and also  facilitates comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies. 
  (5) Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share Item. We provide diluted non-GAAP net  income per share. The diluted non-GAAP net income per share amount was  calculated based on our non-GAAP net income and the weighted-average  number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. The diluted non-  GAAP income per share included additional dilution from potential issuance  of common stock, except when such issuances would be anti-dilutive.
