        year-ago period.
    --  Increased 3Q09 international revenues to $6.1 million, up 57% over the
        year-ago level.

        Computing Companies designed to provide hardware, software and services
        companies with virtual security solutions to address their customer's
        critical requirements.

Innovation & Recognition

    --  Named to InfoWorld's Open Source Hall of Fame for Snort. The list
        recognizes "the greatest open source software projects of all time" that
        have established dominant market positions and proven essential in
        "propelling the open source movement into the spotlight."
    --  Led the industry in same-day patch coverage with the Sourcefire VRT
        (Vulnerability Research Team).
    --  Integrated the Sourcefire 3D(R) System with QualysGuard(R). This
        integration provides customers with the ability to import QualysGuard
        scan data into the Sourcefire RNA(R) (Real-time Network Awareness) host
        database, combining real-time network discovery information with active
        vulnerability scan data. With Sourcefire and Qualys working in tandem,
        the number of actionable network threats detected by the Sourcefire
        intrusion prevention system (IPS) can be vastly reduced, leading to
        increased security and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
    --  Hosted its first-ever Virtual Customer Summit drawing more than 700
        attendees. The online summit included sessions by Sourcefire and Snort
        experts and customers who discussed leading techniques for identifying
        and protecting against the latest Cybersecurity threats.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Outlook

Based on information as of October 29, 2009, Sourcefire expects revenue for 4Q09 in the range of $31.5 million to $33.0 million, net income per share in the range of $0.11 to $0.14 and, on an adjusted basis, net income per share in the range of $0.17 to $0.20. Sourcefire's expectation of adjusted net income per share excludes stock-based compensation expense for the fourth quarter in the expected range of $1.6 million to $1.8 million. For fiscal year 2009 Sourcefire expects revenue in the range of $99.7 million to $101.2 million, net income per share in the range of $0.19 to $0.22 and adjusted net income per share in the range of $0.41 to $0.44. Sourcefire's expectation of full year 2009 adjusted net income per share excludes stock-based compensation expense in the expected range of $6.0 million to $6.2 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Sourcefire's management excludes certain charges and credits that are required by GAAP. These non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding (i) stock-based compensation, which does not involve the expenditure of cash, and (ii) items that Sourcefire believes may not be indicative of the Company's operating performance, because either they are unusual and Sourcefire does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business or they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
