Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes the following supplemental non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. The presentation of this supplemental non-GAAP financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

           WIND RIVER SYSTEMS, INC.
         ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the company's condensed consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, or GAAP, Wind River is providing in this release certain
supplemental non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These
non-GAAP financial measures include: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP
operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per
diluted share. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared
in accordance with GAAP, see the following section of this release
entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
The presentation of supplemental non-GAAP financial information,
which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules
or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and
presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may be
materially different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies.
Wind River is providing these non-GAAP financial measures because it
believes that such measures provide important supplemental information
to management and investors about the company's core operating
results, primarily because the non-GAAP measures exclude certain
expenses and other amounts that management does not consider to be
indicative of the company's core operating results or business
outlook. Wind River management uses these non-GAAP financial measures,
in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, in
evaluating the company's operating performance, in planning and
forecasting future periods, in making decisions regarding business
operations and the allocation of resources, and in comparing the
company's performance against its historical performance.
Wind River excludes the following items from its non-GAAP financial
measures:
 Stock-based compensation expense. The company's non-GAAP financial
 measures exclude stock-based compensation expense related to the
 grant of stock options, other related instruments and restricted
 stock issued in the Interpeak acquisition. While stock-based
 compensation is a significant expense affecting the company's
 results of operations, management excludes stock-based compensation
 from its budget and operating decision-making processes because it
 believes that these non-cash expenses do not reflect the company's
 ongoing operating results. Since stock-based compensation expense is
 excluded from non-GAAP financial measures, the company also excludes
 unamortized stock-based compensation in its computation of non-GAAP
 dilutive shares, which generally decreases the weighted number of
 buyback shares under the treasury stock method.
 Amortization of purchased and other intangible assets. In accordance
 with GAAP, Wind River incurs expenses for the amortization of
 purchased and other intangibles resulting from prior acquisitions.
 These charges are not factored into management's evaluation of
 potential acquisitions, or our performance after completion of
 acquisitions, because they are not related to our core operating
 performance. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges
 vary significantly based on the size and timing of our acquisitions
 and the maturities of the businesses being acquired. Excluding this
 data provides investors with a basis to compare the company against
 the performance of other companies without this variability.
 Costs incurred for stock option review and related litigation. The
 company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs incurred for its
 historical stock option review and the related litigation costs.
 These amounts are excluded because they are not related to the
 company's ongoing business operating results.
 Other costs. Wind River excludes amounts from non-GAAP financial
 measures related to restructuring and other charges, employer
 payroll taxes on stock option exercises and impairments and net
 losses on investments. The company excludes such costs because
 management believes that they are not related to the company's core
 operating results and because the frequency and variability in the
 nature and amount of the charges can vary significantly from period
 to period.
 Income tax related to non-GAAP items. In order to present full
 non-GAAP results, the company adjusts its provision for income taxes
 to reflect the tax effects of excluding the non-GAAP items noted
 above. In addition, the company includes the associated tax benefit
 related to stock option net operating losses and excludes amounts in
 its non-GAAP financial measures related to the establishment or
 reversal of income tax valuation allowances as management believes
 that such amounts are not indicative of the company's ongoing
 business operating results and they are not included in budget or
 planning processes.
All supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should be read in
conjunction with the comparable information presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
