"First quarter results were consistent with the updated guidance we
provided in early April," said Phil Soran, President and CEO of Compellent.
"Revenue declined on a sequential basis, but the remaining components of
our income statement improved. We had a substantial increase in gross
margin and reduced growth in operating expenses compared to recent
quarters. Our first quarter new customer growth demonstrates our strength."
"Looking ahead, we remain confident in the growth prospects for
Compellent," Mr. Soran continued. "We continue to see strong demand from
midsized and larger enterprises who appreciate the benefits of our unique
storage solution. The introduction of our zNAS unified storage offering
announced yesterday is one example of new products that we anticipate will
expand our addressable market. We believe the efficiency of our business
model and the strong relationships we enjoy with our channel partners are
critical to our success. We have the financial resources to pursue our
growth strategy."

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the company's Statements of Operations presented in
accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures for operating
income (loss) and net income (loss). In order for investors to be better
able to compare the company's current results with those of previous
periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP
financial measures at the end of this press release. This reconciliation
adjusts the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based
compensation expense. The company believes the presentation of these
non-GAAP financial measures enhance the user's overall understanding of the
company's historical financial performance. The presentation of non-GAAP
measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the
company's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies.
