On August 12, 2008, Sonic Solutions (“Sonic”) issued a press release regarding its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. On the same day, the Sonic hosted a conference call to further discuss the financial results. Copies of the earnings press release and, transcript of the earnings conference call are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

To supplement Sonic’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals (“GAAP”), Sonic also presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in the earnings press release and which were discussed on the earnings conference call: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.

Sonic’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures but should be considered in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, and are intended to provide additional insight into Sonic’s operations that, when viewed with Sonic’s GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures contained in the earnings press release, offers a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Sonic’s business. Sonic’s non- GAAP presentation should be read in conjunction with Sonic’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Sonic believes these non- GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics Sonic uses in its financial and operational decision making and (2) they are used by some of Sonic’s institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze Sonic’s operational results.

Sonic believes that its non-GAAP presentation is useful to investors for the reasons described above, and because such presentation offers investors a better understanding of Sonic’s core business operating results and budget planning decisions. Sonic’s management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to plan and forecast future periods, to establish operational goals, to compare with its business plan and individual operating budgets and to allocate resources. Material limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measures versus the comparable GAAP measures are (a) the non-GAAP measures provide a view of Sonic’s earnings that does not include all of Sonic’s expense obligations for the period in question, and (b) this may not enhance the comparability of Sonic’s results to those of other companies who have treated such matters differently. Sonic compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of the effects of these non-GAAP measures, by presenting the corresponding treatment prepared in conformity with GAAP in the earnings press release and in Sonic’s financial statements and by providing a reconciliation in the earnings press release to the corresponding GAAP measures so that investors can use the information to perform their own analysis.
