First Quarter 2013 Outlook

Based on information as of February 21, 2013, Sourcefire expects revenue for the first quarter of 2013 in the range of $56.0 million to $58.0 million, net income per diluted share in the range of $0.01 to $0.03 and, on an adjusted basis, net income per diluted share in the range of $0.11 to $0.13. Sourcefire's expectation of adjusted net income per diluted share excludes stock-based compensation expense of $6.4 million to $6.6 million and amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $0.3 million and includes an assumed 35% tax rate. 

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Sourcefire considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted income from operations, adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenue and free cash flow.

Sourcefire uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate its operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. The Company also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in establishing operational goals. Sourcefire believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, helps investors to evaluate the Company's operating and financial performance and trends in its business, consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in comparing its performance to the performance of other companies, although Sourcefire's non-GAAP financial measures are specific to it and the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies may not be calculated in the same manner.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Share, Adjusted Income from Operations and Adjusted Income from Operations as a Percentage of Revenue: In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Sourcefire excludes certain charges and credits that are required by GAAP. These non-GAAP measures exclude (i) stock-based compensation, which does not involve the expenditure of cash, (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, which does not involve the expenditure of cash, and (iii) other acquisition-related expenses, which are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the Company's business in the ordinary course. For 2012 non-GAAP results are adjusted to reflect the effect of an assumed tax rate of 35%. This adjustment is intended to normalize the tax rate and provide a tax rate that approximates the Company's expected long-term GAAP tax rate.

Free Cash Flow: Sourcefire defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. The Company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the purchase of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in the business, making strategic acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet.

These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
