-- GAAP Net Earnings per Diluted Share: $0.02
-- Non-GAAP Net Earnings per Diluted Share: $0.13

Fiscal Second Quarter 2013 GAAP Financial Results
Fusion-io reported record revenue of $120.6 million for the fiscal second quarter 2013, up 43% from $84.1 million for the same quarter of 2012 and up 2% from $118.1 million for the preceding quarter. Net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2013 was $1.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million, or a net loss per diluted share of $0.07, in the fiscal second quarter of 2012. Gross margin for the fiscal second quarter 2013 was 61.8%. Operating margin for the fiscal second quarter 2013 was 5.7%.
Fiscal Second Quarter 2013 Non-GAAP Financial Results
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2013 was $13.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $5.6 million, or net income per diluted share of $0.05, in the same quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP gross margin for the fiscal second quarter 2013 was 61.9%. Non-GAAP operating margin for the fiscal second quarter 2013 was 17.8%. A complete reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is set forth in the attachment to this press release.
"The shift to the cloud from traditional IT, and the shift away from mechanical storage to solid state, are twin catalysts to our business. We are well-positioned to capture opportunities as a growing number of customers decide to migrate away from legacy storage and move to the cloud using new memory architectures," said David Flynn, Fusion-io chairman and chief executive officer. "As early adopters of our technology move to all-flash architectures, the sheer scale of this transformation can lead to lumpiness in deployments quarter to quarter as customers learn to extract the full potential of flash to drive even greater efficiency in their infrastructure."
Dennis Wolf, Fusion-io chief financial officer, added: "Our two largest customers have purchased nearly half a billion from Fusion-io since 2010, representing robust adoption of our technology. There is a lot of potential with these key customers, and the change in our guidance reflects a two-quarter shift in the timing of their bulk purchases. A healthy pipeline for growth, fueled by new products and partnerships, as well as a solid financial position, with more than $365 million in cash and equivalents, will enable us to drive the business forward and create value for our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Fusion-io uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. Reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying tables and on the investor relations page of our website at www.fusionio.com. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies.
Fusion-io's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying schedules to gain an understanding of Fusion-io's comparative operating performance and future prospects, and utilizes these measures in its internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets and financial goals. Management also believes that the exclusion of the items described below provides an additional measure of the company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of Fusion-io's core operating performance against prior periods and business model objectives. Management believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses to analyze Fusion-io's results. These non-GAAP 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. Fusion-io endeavors to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP measures.
For all periods presented:
-- Non-GAAP gross margin is calculated as non-GAAP gross profit divided by
GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit
excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense.
-- Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated as non-GAAP income from
operations divided by GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP income from operations
consists of GAAP income from operations excluding the effects of
stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and
acquisition related costs.
-- Non-GAAP net income is calculated as GAAP net income excluding the
effects of stock-based compensation expense, changes in the fair value
of a common stock repurchase derivative liability, amortization of
intangible assets, acquisition related costs, a tax benefit for the
reversal of valuation allowance as a result of the IO Turbine
acquisition, and tax provision adjustments related to stock-based
awards.
-- Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net
income divided by non-GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding
for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and is calculated as
non-GAAP net income divided by GAAP weighted-average diluted shares
outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and the six
months ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. Non-GAAP weighted-average
diluted shares outstanding is calculated as GAAP weighted-average
diluted shares outstanding including the dilutive impact due to stock
options, a common stock warrant, restricted stock awards, and restricted
stock units.
The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. With respect to our expectations under "Business Outlook" above, reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges which are excluded from these non-GAAP measures. The effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to non-employee common stock options are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or will occur.
