Balance Sheet:

The Company exited the second quarter of 2014 with cash and cash equivalents of $42.2 million with no borrowings. This compares to $40.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2014, with no borrowings, and $40.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013, with $2.1 million in borrowings.

For the third quarter of 2014, the Company expects non-GAAP revenues to be between $50 and $58 million and non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.01and $0.06.

"With respect to 2014 overall, we currently believe that our results will fall around the low end of our guidance range, based on lower than expected Server OEM revenue in the first half. The precise timing of our new customer product launches, which is very hard to call, will impact revenues as well," stated Hanif Jamal, chief financial officer, Dot Hill Systems Corp. "We remain resolute in our conviction that we are getting very close to a transformative revenue ramp, and with the operating leverage in our business model, an even stronger earnings inflection point. With respect to our medium-term planning horizon relative to 2013 as provided during our March earnings call, we remain very confident in 14-18% total non-GAAP revenue growth with 40-50% growth in Vertical Markets and plus or minus 5% in Server OEMs revenue growth with an 8-12% operating margin target."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, legal settlements and associated expenses, intangible asset amortization, restructuring and severance charges, charges or credits for contingent consideration adjustments, charges for impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, specific and significant warranty claims arising from a supplier's defective products, the impact of our discontinued AssuredUVS software business and the effects of foreign currency gains or losses. The non-GAAP financial measures include the recognition of revenues and directly related costs associated with long-term AssuredVRA software contracts, which were deferred and amortized in the Company's GAAP financial statements. The Company used these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal resource management, planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed in isolation from or as a substitute for the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is attached to this press release.
