Altoona First Savings Bank Counts on SolarWinds Log and Event Manager for
Security and Compliance

New Version of SolarWinds Log & Event Manager Enhances Ease of Deployment and Use

AUSTIN, TX, May 03, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- SolarWinds, Inc. (SWI), a
leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today
announced that Altoona First Savings Bank (AFSB), based in Altoona, Pa., uses
SolarWinds Log & Event Manager (LEM), a Security Information Event Management
(SIEM) software solution, to protect and support the company's secure IT banking
environment.

AFSB had previously been using Cisco(R) Security Monitoring, Analysis and
Response System (MARS) to troubleshoot attacks on the bank's network security
data. When the product became obsolete after Cisco announced its end-of-life
status, Doug Ickes, AFSB's network administrator, sought a replacement.

Ickes started doing some investigative work, and narrowed his choices down to an
appliance from netForensics(R) and SolarWinds LEM. He found that both were good
products, but that he was going to pay inherently more for netForensics while
SolarWinds LEM provides the same capabilities at a lower cost.

"For the price and the level of support, SolarWinds won me over," said Ickes. "I
wear a lot of hats managing the IT infrastructure at our small, community bank of
50-some employees, and I didn't want to have to spend an inordinate amount of
time monitoring logs. SolarWinds LEM allowed me the flexibility to do my job more
effectively and efficiently."

Security and Compliance Benefits and Beyond

--Track USB usage - AFSB has several use cases for USB devices around
the bank including electronic signature scanners for driver's
licenses. SolarWinds LEM's USB Defender technology allows AFSB to
monitor these ports rather than locking and shutting them all down
arbitrarily, permitting AFSB to continue with business as usual unless
a threat is detected.
--Compliance-ready reports - Auditors love to see reports and stats on
failed network logins. SolarWinds LEM helps AFSB exceed requirements
for regulations such as FFIEC, FDIC and GLBA.
--Track changes to users, groups and machines - AFSB uses SolarWinds LEM
to protect and secure its infrastructure. When users are added,
deleted, or added to groups that may elevate their privileges, alerts
can be generated anytime a new user or machine account is added to the
domain. Tracking these changes is key to ensuring AFSB's policies are
being enforced.
--Real-time IT event correlationand analysis of network activity -
Categorizing the events makes them easy to filter in real time and
search for historical analysis, enabling AFSB to detect a fan fail on
one of their Cisco switches by using SolarWinds LEM, meaning they were
able to send it in for a repair before it became problematic.



What's new in SolarWinds Log & Event Manager (LEM):

The latest version of SolarWinds LEM makes it easier to deploy and manage with
features including: Hyper-V(R) Virtual Appliance support, a new browser-based
console, Active Directory(R) authentication, integration with SolarWinds Network
Performance Monitor (NPM) and SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) for
sending/receiving alerts between systems, and a handful of other IT practitioner
requested improvements.

"SolarWinds Log & Event Manager is more flexible than ever before, bringing the
ability to solve key operational, compliance and security problems in one easy to
use package," said Sanjay Castelino, SolarWinds' VP and market leader. "We have
taken the complexity and cost out of log management solutions with SolarWinds
LEM, saving IT pros needless hours."

Pricing and Availability SolarWinds Log & Event Manager (LEM) is available now
and pricing starts at $4,995 (USD) with the first year of maintenance included.

Information about SolarWinds' use of these non-GAAP financial measures is
provided below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Recent Business Highlights

"Once again, the SolarWinds team delivered a solid performance during the second
quarter, driving record results. I am very pleased with our execution around the
world. While we generated solid growth in each of our geographic regions, the
EMEA region, in particular, produced the strongest growth overall. We believe
that this performance reflects several factors including the appeal of our value
proposition of affordable and powerful products and the investments we've made to
build our awareness internationally," said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds' President
and Chief Executive Officer.

"As we move into the second half of 2012, our teams are focused on making sure
that we remain a leader in our core markets, like network management, while we
aim to expand our relevance in other areas. We continue to believe that we can
offer the market a unique experience based on delivering the unexpected
simplicity of products that just work for IT professionals," added Thompson.

SolarWinds' business highlights during the second quarter of 2012 include:

--SolarWinds launched the Japanese version of its flagship network
management product, SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM),
reflecting the company's commitment to expanding its opportunities in
the global market. NPM's Japanese launch builds on significant
investments aimed at extending SolarWinds' presence in Japan including
forging key partnerships, creating a dedicated native language user
support team, and developing a recently launched Japanese-language
website.
--SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) won best of
Microsoft(R) TechEd North America 2012 in Systems Management and
Operations, adding to the list of honors SolarWinds' products have
received across the IT management space given their power,
ease-of-use, and affordability.
--SolarWinds continued to deliver frequent new releases of existing
products. SolarWinds added support for Microsoft Hyper-V(TM) to its
award-winning Virtualization Manager, making it one of the most
comprehensive and affordable virtualization management solutions for
managing VMware(R) and Microsoft Hyper-V(TM) hypervisors.
SolarWinds also released IP Address Manager (IPAM) 3.0. IPAM is one of
the most affordable and comprehensive solutions for integrated DHCP,
DNS, and IP address management available today, providing IT pros with
a strong alternative to the complex and expensive appliance-based
offerings from incumbent vendors.
--Building on the momentum established in Q1 2012, SolarWinds sought to
expand its awareness and relevance within the IT Management space
through the release of new products. In early Q2, SolarWinds released
Mobile Admin, based on technology acquired from Rove, which provides
IT pros with an affordable and easy-to-use solution for supporting
over 40 key IT technologies and platforms from their Android, iOS, and
Blackberry smartphones and tablets. The company also introduced WSUS
Agent, a free diagnostic tool for testing WSUS connections and
validating Windows Update Agent(R) configuration values.



"Our second quarter results once again illustrated the powerful benefits of our
unique business model, where our higher-than-expected revenue helped drive strong
non-GAAP operating margins and earnings per share," said Mike Berry, SolarWinds'
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We expect to continue to
drive revenue growth through a number of organic and inorganic investments while
maintaining our focus on strong margins and cash generation. In addition,
reflecting the confidence we have in our business, we are increasing our full
year outlook despite macro-economic headwinds in areas around the globe," added
Berry.

Financial Outlook

As of July 25, 2012, SolarWinds is providing its financial outlook for its third
quarter and full year of 2012. The financial information below represents
forward-looking non-GAAP financial information, including an estimate of non-GAAP
operating income as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share, for the third quarter of 2012 and for the full year 2012. 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 2012

SolarWinds management currently expects to achieve the following results for the
third quarter of 2012:

--Total revenue in the range of $66.0-$68.5 million, or 22% to 27%
growth over the third quarter of 2011.
--Non-GAAP operating income representing 50%-51% of revenue.
--Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.29-$0.31.
--Weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 76.8 million.



Financial Outlook for Full Year 2012

SolarWinds management is increasing its annual outlook and currently expects to
achieve the following results for the full year 2012:

--Total revenue in the range of $257.0-$263.0 million, or 30% to 33%
year-over-year growth.
--Non-GAAP operating income representing 51%-52% of revenue.
--Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.20-$1.24.
--Weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 76.5 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 8:00am CT (9:00am
ET/6). A live webcast of the event, including any supplemental information, will
be available on the SolarWinds Investor Relations website at
ir.solarwinds.com.  A live dial-in will be available domestically at
800-946-0774 and internationally at +1-719-457-2604. To access the live call,
please dial in 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time. 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, its expectation to continue to
drive revenue growth through a number of organic and inorganic investments while
maintaining its focus on strong margins and cash generation. 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 "believe," "continue," "expect," 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 inability to generate significant volumes of sales
leads from Internet search engines, marketing campaigns and traffic to our
websites; (b) the possibility that general economic conditions or uncertainty
cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be
delayed; (c) the presence or absence of occasional large customer orders,
including in particular those placed by the U.S. federal government; (d) the
inability to increase sales to existing customers and to attract new customers;
(e) SolarWinds' ability to successfully identify, complete, and integrate
acquisitions; (f) the timing and success of new product introductions and product
upgrades by SolarWinds or 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, 2012. 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 which primarily
relate to purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. 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. 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. 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, and 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) Acquisition Related Adjustments. 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) legal, accounting and advisory fees to the extent
associated with acquisitions; (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. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be
unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside
of our control. Furthermore, acquisitions result in non-continuing operating
expenses, which would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course
of our organic business operations, with respect to each acquisition. 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 our historical
results and results of less acquisitive peer companies, both with and without
such adjustments.

(4) Income Tax Effect of Non-GAAP Exclusions. We 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 ongoing performance and future
liquidity of our business.

(5) Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share Item. We provide non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share. The non-GAAP diluted earnings per share amount was calculated
based on our non-GAAP net income and the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the reporting period.

liquidity measure that reflects 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.
