SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE REPORTS RECORD REVENUE QUARTER

Revenues Increase 22.2% to a Company Record $34.0 Million;
Third Quarter Diluted EPS of $0.09 GAAP, $0.23 Non-GAAP

Aliso Viejo, CA, November 3, 2010 — Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI), a leading developer and marketer of software solutions and services for the mobility market, today reported financial results for its 2010 third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

“We achieved our sixth consecutive quarter of record revenue growth in the third quarter and delivered outstanding bottom-line results,” said William W. Smith Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “Wireless and mobility product sales continued to drive growth in our business and were up 38% year-over-year, reflecting increasing customer recognition for the value of our Smart Mobility software products and platform.”

Mr. Smith continued, “The coming deployments of higher speed networks such as LTE will drive and attract new users to mobile broadband services. We see additional growth opportunities for our software portfolio to serve this expanding set of users with broader demographic characteristics.”

Smith Micro reported record revenue of $34.0 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, a 22.2% increase over the $27.8 million reported in the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Third quarter gross profit on a GAAP basis of $30.2 million increased $5.9 million, or 24.5%, from the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. On a non-GAAP basis (which excludes amortization of intangibles, stock compensation and non-cash tax expense), third quarter gross profit was $31.8 million, an increase of $6.3 million, or 24.8%, from the same quarter last year.

SMSI Q3 2010 Press Release Page 2 of 7

GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 88.9% for the third quarter of 2010, compared with 87.3% for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 93.5% for the third quarter of 2010, compared to 91.6% for the same quarter last year.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 increased to $3.1 million or $0.09 per diluted share, which compared to the third quarter of 2009 of $2.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 increased to $7.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $6.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2009.

Fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2010, were 34.7 million compared to 33.1 million weighted average common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported revenues of $95.2 million, a 22.7% increase from $77.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

GAAP gross profit of $83.8 million increased $18.2 million, or 27.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $65.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Non-GAAP gross profit (which excludes amortization of intangibles, stock compensation and non-cash tax expense) was $88.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $19.1 million, or 27.5%, from the same period last year.

GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 88.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with 84.6% for the same period last year. Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 92.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 89.3% for the same period last year.

GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $6.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to a GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, of $3.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 28.9% to $20.9

million, or $0.60 per diluted share, as compared to $16.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments have increased $11.7 million during the first nine months of the year to $57.5 million.

The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income before taxes, net income and earnings per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation, since amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, stock-based compensation, and non-cash tax expense are excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The tables below present the differences between non-GAAP earnings and net income on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro Software may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

Financial Guidance:

Smith Micro Software is reiterating its previous guidance for fiscal year 2010 of revenue of $125 million to $135 million.
