CRAY INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Company continues to expect 2018 revenue growth in the range of 15%

Seattle, WA - October 30, 2018 - Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq: CRAY) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

All figures in this release are based on U.S. GAAP unless otherwise noted. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is included in the financial tables in this press release.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $92.8 million, compared to $79.7 million in the third quarter of 2017. Net loss for the third quarter of 2018 was $22.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $10.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP net loss was $19.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2018, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $13.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2017.

For the third quarter of 2018, overall gross profit margin on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis was 27%, compared to 36% on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2017.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $48.0 million, compared to $54.7 million in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $44.6 million, compared to $43.9 million in the third quarter of 2017.

As of September 30, 2018, cash, investments, and restricted cash totaled $184 million. Working capital at the end of the third quarter was $294 million, compared to $325 million at June 30, 2018.

“We had a solid quarter, highlighted by several large system installations, as well as continued strong bookings and market activity,” said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray. “Today we launched our next generation supercomputing platform, code-named Shasta, which we plan to begin shipping late next year. This system’s revolutionary design, including a new Cray designed system interconnect, builds on our long history of leadership at the high-end of the market to deliver game-changing innovations in hardware and software. NERSC, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, selected Shasta and a future-generation Cray storage solution for its NERSC-9 program. At $146 million, this is one of the largest awards in our company’s history and a major endorsement of our technology roadmap. Without a doubt, Shasta represents a major step in setting ourselves up for strong future growth.”

Outlook

For 2018, while a wide range of results remains possible, Cray expects revenue to be in the range of $450 million. For 2018, GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 30%. Non-GAAP operating expenses for 2018 are expected to be in the range of $190 million. For 2018, non-GAAP adjustments are expected to total about $14 million, driven primarily by share-based compensation. For

1

the year, GAAP operating expenses are anticipated to be about $12 million higher than non-GAAP operating expenses, and GAAP gross profit is expected to be about $2 million lower than non-GAAP gross profit.

Based on this outlook, Cray’s effective GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates for 2018 are both expected to be in the low-single digit range, on a percentage basis.

While a wide range of results remains possible and it is still early in the planning process, Cray expects 2019 annual revenue to grow modestly compared to its current 2018 outlook.

Actual results for any future periods are subject to large fluctuations given the nature of Cray’s business.

Recent Highlights

• Today, Cray unveiled its new, revolutionary supercomputing system code-named “Shasta.” Shasta incorporates next-generation Cray system software to enable modularity and extensibility, a new Cray-designed system interconnect, unparalleled flexibility in processing choice within a system, and a software environment that provides for seamless scalability.

• Today, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center has selected a Cray “Shasta” system for its NERSC-9 program. The program contract is valued at $146 million, one of the largest in Cray’s history.

• In October, Cray and Stradigi AI, a leading Canadian AI solutions provider, announced a strategic partnership to offer AI implementation solutions combining Stradigi AI’s specialized data science skills with Cray’s supercomputing expertise and advanced technologies.

• In October, Cray announced a new working relationship with the Haas F1 Team in the FIA Formula One World Championship. Beginning with the 2019 season, the third-year American racing team will use the computational capacity of a Cray CS500 supercomputer, which uses AMD EPYC 7000 processors, to handle its large simulations in support of future race car designs.

• In September, Cray announced that the Met Office, the U.K.’s National Weather Service, expanded its Cray XC40 supercomputer with AI and analytics capabilities. The Met Office added Cray’s Urika-XC AI and analytics software suite to its supercomputers to unlock the highest levels of business value from the massive volumes of weather data it processes daily.

• In September, Cray announced that the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea awarded the Company a contract valued at $9 million for a Cray XC50 supercomputer and a Cray ClusterStor L300 storage system.

• In September, Cray announced that it had delivered and installed a Cray XC50 supercomputer and a ClusterStor L300 storage system at Railway Technical Research Institute, the research and development arm for Japan Railways Group.

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 (“SEC”). A reconciliation of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures that we have set forth provide additional insight for analysts and investors and facilitate an evaluation of Cray’s financial and operational performance that is consistent with the manner in which 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 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, and 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.

Additionally, we have not quantitatively reconciled the non-GAAP guidance measures disclosed under “Outlook” to their corresponding GAAP measures because we do not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items such as share-based compensation, adjustments to the provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles, costs related to acquisitions, purchase accounting adjustments, and gain on significant asset sales, as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the non-GAAP guidance measures are not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact our financial results.
