Dot Hill Reports First Quarter 2014 Results
Year-over-year non-GAAP total revenue growth of 9% with a 59% increase in Vertical Markets

LONGMONT, Colo. -May 8, 2014 - Dot Hill Systems Corp. (NASDAQ:HILL) reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
 
Financial Highlights:
Grew non-GAAP revenue by 9% year-over-year
Grew Vertical Markets non-GAAP revenue 18% sequentially and 59% year-over-year
Achieved non-GAAP gross margin of 33.1%, up from 31.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 32.1% in the first quarter of 2013
Delivered non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share of $0.02, compared to $0.07 in the fourth quarter 2013 and $0.00 in the first quarter of 2013
 
“We are confident in our 2014 goal of 45% growth at the midpoint of our guidance range in Vertical Markets,” stated Dana Kammersgard, chief executive officer, Dot Hill Systems Corp. “This anticipated growth primarily comes from existing customers with existing products who are still in the early stages of their revenue ramps and from some of these same customers with new products that we expect to launch later this year. Our growth is not dependent on revenue from new prospects.”

First Quarter 2014 GAAP Financial Detail (including discontinued operations)
Net revenue was $48.2 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $44.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $58.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2014 was 31.7%, compared to 32.2% for the first quarter of 2013 and 30.2% for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Server OEM non-GAAP gross margin was 24.4%, compared to 26.7% in the first quarter of 2013 and 28.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross margin for the segment is primarily due to allocation of fixed supply chain overhead costs over a smaller revenue base.

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.

About Segment Financial Reporting
The Server OEM segment consists primarily of large Original Equipment Manufacturers who purchase products from the Company to sell along with their Server products. Major Server OEM customers include Hewlett Packard, Lenovo, Stratus, Dell, and AMD. The Vertical Markets segment consists of strategically selected Vertical Markets including Media & Entertainment, Telecommunications Infrastructure, Oil and Gas, Big Data Analytics and Digital Imaging among others. These customers typically embed the Company’s products into solutions for their customers. The Company sells to these customers through both Vertical Markets OEM partners or Embedded Solutions Integrators, as well as through Channel Partners. Major Vertical Markets customers include Teradata, CGG, Motorola, Tektronix, Samsung, Concurrent, Autodesk, and Nokia Siemens. The Corporate segment consists primarily of “platform costs” that support both the Server OEM and Vertical Markets segments
