München, 25. Januar 2011 – VMware, weltweiter Marktführer von Virtualisierungslösungen für Desktopsysteme, Rechenzentren und Cloud-Infrastrukturen, gibt seine Finanzergebnisse für das vierte Quartal und das gesamte Jahr 2010 bekannt.

„VMware profitierte im vierten Quartal 2010 sowohl von einem Aufwärtstrend bei den Ausgaben als auch von dem großen Momentum für Virtualisierung als zentrale Technologie moderner IT-Infrastrukturen“, sagt Paul Maritz, Präsident und CEO von VMware. „Unsere Aufgabe, unseren Kunden bei der Entwicklung einer hybriden Unternehmens-Cloud durch Lösungen zur Effizienz- und Flexibilitätssteigerung zu helfen, nehmen wir weiterhin sehr ernst.“

„Mit den Rekordergebnissen des viertel Quartals 2010 sind wir sind sehr zufrieden. Dies konnte durch die Stärke aller Produktkategorien und Märkte erreicht werden“, sagt Mark Peek, CFO bei VMware. „Während wir weiter investieren werden, um die Vorteile des Generationenwechsels in der IT nutzen zu können, erwarten wir kein weiteres Wachstum der Umsatzrendite in 2011.“

Die Details zu den Finanzzahlen entnehmen Sie bitte der englischsprachigen Pressemeldung wie folgt:

-- Net income for the fourth quarter was $120 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $56 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $198 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $127 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009.

"VMware clearly benefited in the fourth quarter from both an uptick in spending and the momentum of virtualization as the central technology for modernizing infrastructures," said Paul Maritz, president and chief executive officer. "Our task remains to help our customers evolve to the enterprise hybrid cloud by delivering solutions that increase efficiency while improving business agility."

"We are pleased with our record fourth quarter results, driven by strength across all product categories and geographies," said Mark Peek, chief financial officer. "As we continue to invest to take advantage of the generational shift underway in IT, we do not anticipate expansion of operating margins in 2011. First quarter 2011 revenues are expected to be in the range of $800 and $820 million, an increase of 26% to 29% from the first quarter 2010. Annual 2011 revenue is expected to be in the range of $3.45 and $3.55 billion, an increase of 21% to 24% from 2010, and annual license revenue is expected to grow between 14% and 19%."

Recent Highlights & Strategic Announcements

-- In October 2010, VMware announced expansion of VMware Ready(TM), a program to include mail security solutions that can easily extend the Zimbra(TM) solution with a virtual appliance running on top of VMware vSphere(R). Symantec and Trend Micro were among the first customers to deliver VMware Ready.

-- In October 2010, VMware announced plans to provide a complete suite of cloud-based development and collaboration tools aimed at simplifying the entire application development process. Part of VMware's Cloud Application Platform strategy, Code2Cloud is intended to build on leading open source development projects to deliver a completely unified, setup-free development infrastructure that delivers cloud as a service.

-- In November 2010, VMware announced intent to provide a desktop virtualization solution based on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and VMware View(TM) 4.5 that will help channel partners accelerate deployment of virtual desktop solutions, scaling to meet customers' business needs and regulatory requirements while reducing risk and total cost of ownership (TCO).

VMware plans to host a conference call today to review its fourth quarter and 2010 results and to discuss its financial outlook. The call is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. PT/ 5:00 p.m. ET and can be accessed via the Web at http://ir.vmware.com. The webcast will be available live, and a replay will be available following completion of the live broadcast for approximately 30 days.

(2) Non-GAAP financial information for the quarter is adjusted for a tax rate equal to our annual estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income. This rate is based on our estimated annual GAAP income tax rate forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP income in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented above. Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income is determined annually and may be re-calculated during the year to take into account events or trends that we believe materially impact the estimated annual rate including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, tax audit closures, material changes in the geographic mix of revenues and expenses and other significant events. Due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP earnings, as well as the methodology applied to our estimated annual tax rates as described above, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities.

(3) Calculated based upon 414,919 basic weighted-average shares for Class A and Class B.

(4) Calculated based upon 427,883 diluted weighted-average shares for Class A and Class B.

(1) For the year ended December 31, 2010, we capitalized $71.7 million including $10.9 million of stock-based compensation) of costs incurred for the development of software products. Amortization expense from capitalized amounts was $99.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

(2) We calculate non-GAAP financial information for each fiscal quarter by adjusting for a tax rate equal to our annual estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income. This rate is based on our estimated annual GAAP income tax rate forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP income in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented above. Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income is determined annually and may be re-calculated during the year to take into account events or trends that we believe materially impact the estimated annual rate including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, tax audit closures, material changes in the geographic mix of revenues and expenses and other significant events. For the full fiscal year, the tax rate on non-GAAP income shown in the above table represents the weighted-average of the estimated tax rates that were applied to our quarterly non-GAAP financial results during the fiscal year. Due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP earnings, as well as the methodology applied to our estimated annual tax rates as described above, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities.

(3) Calculated based upon 409,805 basic weighted average shares for Class A and Class B.

(4) Calculated based upon 423,446 diluted weighted average shares for Class A and Class B.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors and others with additional information regarding VMware's results, we have disclosed in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin and trailing twelve-month and fourth quarter free cash flows. VMware has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP in that they exclude stock-based compensation, employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related items, and the net effect of the amortization and capitalization of software development costs, each as discussed below.

VMware's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short- and long-term operating plans, to calculate bonus payments and to evaluate VMware's financial performance, the performance of its individual functional groups and the ability of operations to generate cash. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect VMware's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in VMware's business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating VMware's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. Additionally, management believes information regarding free cash flows provides investors and others with an important perspective on the cash available to make strategic acquisitions and investments, to repurchase shares, to fund ongoing operations and to fund other capital expenditures.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others in assessing VMware's operating performance due to the following factors:

-- Stock-based compensation. Although stock-based compensation is an

important aspect of the compensation of VMware's employees and

executives, determining the fair value of the stock-based instruments

involves a high degree of judgment and estimation and the expense

recorded may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon

the future exercise or termination of the related stock-based awards.

Furthermore, unlike cash compensation, the value of stock-based

compensation is determined using a complex formula that incorporates

factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control.

Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation

in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core

business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer

companies. In addition, we account for stock-based compensation under

GAAP, which requires that we report the excess income tax benefit from

stock-based compensation as a financing cash flow rather than as an

operating cash flow. We have added this benefit back to our

calculation of free cash flows in order to generally classify cash

flows arising from income taxes as operating cash flows.

-- Employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions. The amount of

employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation is dependent on

VMware's stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and

do not correlate to the operation of the business.

-- Amortization of intangible assets. A portion of the purchase price of

VMware's acquisitions is generally allocated to intangible assets,

such as intellectual property, and is subject to amortization.

However, VMware does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle.

Additionally, the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated

to intangible assets and the term of its related amortization can vary

significantly and are unique to each acquisition. Therefore, VMware

believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that

adjust for the amortization of intangible assets, provides investors

and others with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting

periods.

-- Acquisition related items. Acquisition related items include direct

costs of acquisitions, such as transaction fees, which vary

significantly and are unique to each acquisition. Additionally, VMware

does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle.

-- Amortization and capitalization of software development costs.

Amortization and capitalization of software development costs can vary

significantly depending upon the timing of products reaching

technological feasibility and being made generally available. In

addition, we exclude the capitalization of software from our free cash

flows to better convey management's view of operating cash flows. If

we did not capitalize costs under generally accepted accounting

guidance, our GAAP operating cash flows would be lower as a result of

additional expense recognized within net income and paid out in cash

during the period.

Additionally, we believe that the non-GAAP financial measure, free cash flows, is meaningful to investors because we review cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered to be a necessary component of ongoing operations. As discussed above, we also exclude capitalization of software development costs and the excess income tax benefit from stock-based compensation from our measure of free cash flows.

The use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations because they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect VMware's operations. Specifically, in the case of stock-based compensation, if VMware did not pay out a portion of its compensation in the form of stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, the cash salary expense included in costs of revenues and operating expenses would be higher, which would affect VMware's cash position. VMware compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered measures of VMware's liquidity. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Management encourages investors and others to review VMware's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
