CRAY INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
Company reconfirms guidance for 2013
Seattle, WA - April 30, 2013 - Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq: CRAY) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. Revenue for the quarter was $79.5 million compared to $112.3 million in the prior year period. Cray reported a net loss for the quarter of $7.6 million or $0.20 per share compared to net income of $5.0 million or $0.13 per share in the first quarter of 2012.
Please note, all figures in this release are based on U.S. GAAP unless otherwise noted. A reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures is included with the financial tables of this press release. Non-GAAP net loss, which adjusts for selected unusual and non-cash items, was $8.4 million or $0.23 per share, for the first quarter of 2013, compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.0 million, or $0.24 per share, for the first quarter 2012.
Total gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 30% compared to 40% for the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP total gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 32%. For the first quarter of 2013, product margin was 24% and service margin was 50%. Product margin for the first quarter of 2013 was negatively impacted in part by non-cash items related to the acquisition of Appro and the weakening of the Japanese Yen.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $36.9 million, consistent with the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $35.2 million.
The first quarter of 2013 operating results included $2.8 million for depreciation. Non-cash, pre-tax items excluded for non-GAAP purposes for the first quarter of 2013 were $0.6 million for amortization of acquired and other intangibles, $1.0 million for purchase accounting adjustments, and $1.7 million for stock compensation expense.
As of March 31, 2013, cash and investments totaled $251 million compared to $323 million as of December 31, 2012. Working capital at the end of the first quarter was $283 million, unchanged compared to December 31, 2012.
“We had a solid first quarter,” said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray. “In HPC, our latest generation XC30 supercomputer is off to a strong start with a number of big wins and is shipping to customers around the world, and our new CS300 cluster is gaining traction. In Big Data, our storage and graph analytics offerings are continuing to make progress in this fast growing market. While we have a lot of work left to do in order to achieve our outlook, we remain on track to deliver strong revenue growth and I'm excited about our prospects for the rest of the year.”

2013 Outlook
While a wide range of results remains possible for 2013, we expect revenue to be approximately $500 million for the year. Revenue is expected to ramp quarterly during 2013 with roughly $80 million in the second quarter and about 45% of the annual revenue expected in the fourth quarter. For 2013, overall gross margins are anticipated to be in the mid-30% range. Total operating expenses for 2013 are expected to be in the range of $160 million. Non-GAAP adjustments to pre-tax earnings are anticipated to be over $10 million in 2013, driven by stock-based compensation and acquisition related expenses. Based on this outlook, we expect to be profitable on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for 2013.
Cray's 2013 effective income tax rate is currently projected to be about 40% but is dependent on a number of variables. Based on this outlook, due to Cray's substantial net operating loss carryforwards, the annual income tax provision is expected to be largely non-cash and the effective non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be 7-10%.
Actual results for any future period are subject to large fluctuations given the nature of Cray's business.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating Cray's financial and operational performance in the same way that the management evaluates Cray's financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, as they exclude the financial impact of transactions necessary or advisable for the conduct of Cray's business, such as the granting of equity compensation awards, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Hence, to compensate for these limitations, management does not review these non-GAAP financial metrics in isolation from its GAAP results, nor should investors.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, or disclosures, required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These measures are adjusted as described in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP numbers at the end of this release, but these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that all of these adjustments or costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this non-GAAP information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in Cray's SEC filings.
