First Quarter 2012 Outlook

Based on information as of February 21, 2012, Sourcefire expects revenue for the first quarter of 2012 in the range of $40.0 million to $42.0 million, net loss per share in the range of ($0.05) to ($0.03) and, on an adjusted basis, net income per diluted share in the range of $0.06 to $0.08. Sourcefire's expectation of adjusted net income per diluted share excludes stock-based compensation expense of $4.2 million to $4.4 million and amortization of acquired intangible assets and other acquisition-related expenses of approximately $1.0 million and includes an assumed 35% tax rate.

Non-GAAP Measures

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 our business, Sourcefire excludes certain charges and credits that are required by GAAP. Sourcefire believes these non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding (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, based on our current tax structure, Sourcefire expects non-GAAP results to be adjusted to reflect the effect of an assumed tax rate of 35%. Sourcefire believes this adjustment provides useful information to both management and investors.

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.
