Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements related to WAN optimization as an IT priority. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not fully materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include our ability to react to trends and challenges in our business and the markets in which we operate; our ability to anticipate market needs or develop new or enhanced products to meet those needs; the adoption rate of our products; our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with our distribution partners; our ability to compete in our industry; fluctuations in demand, sales cycles and prices for our products and services; shortages or price fluctuations in our supply chain; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; general political, economic and market conditions and events; and other risks and uncertainties described more fully in our documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about these and other risks that may impact Riverbed's business are set forth in our Form 10-Q filed for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Any future product, feature or related specification that may be referenced in this release are for information purposes only and are not commitments to deliver any technology or enhancement. Riverbed reserves the right to modify future product plans at any time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and future results. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations." Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects and adjustments related to our tax valuation allowance:

Support deferred revenue: Business combination accounting rules require us to account for the fair value of support contracts assumed in connection with our acquisitions. The book value of our deferred support revenue was reduced by approximately $2.0 million in the adjustment to fair value. Because these are typically one-year contracts, our GAAP revenues for the one year period subsequent to the acquisition of a business do not reflect the full amount of service revenues on assumed support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entity. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenues. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business because we have historically experienced high renewal rates on support contracts, although we cannot be certain that customers will renew these contracts.

Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation and stock-based payroll expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP net income. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and it is not part of our core operations. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.

Acquisition related and other expenses: We incurred significant expenses in connection with our acquisition of Mazu and also incurred certain other operating expenses, which we would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Acquisition related and other expenses consist of transaction costs, costs for transitional employees, other acquired employee related costs, integration related professional services, and adjustments to the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses.

(1)                 Stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with
                    the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting
                    Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, Compensation
                    - Stock Compensation effective January 1, 2006.
(2)                 Payroll tax on stock option exercises represents the incremental
                    cost for employer payroll taxes on stock option exercises.
(3)                 The intangible assets recorded at fair value as a result of our
                    acquisition are amortized over the estimated useful life of the
                    respective asset.
(4)                 We incurred expenses in connection with our acquisition, which would
                    not have otherwise occurred in the period presented as part of our
                    operating expenses; therefore, these costs are excluded from our
                    non-GAAP operating expenses.
(5)                 Business combination accounting rules require us to account for the
                    fair value of deferred revenue assumed in connection with an
                    acquisition. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full
                    amount of support and service revenue that would have otherwise been
                    recorded by the acquired entity.
(6)                 The non-GAAP tax rate excludes the income tax effects of non-GAAP
                    adjustments. Additionally, the non-GAAP tax rate does not assume a
                    valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.
(7)                 Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP diluted weighted
                    average shares outstanding were calculated excluding the effects
                    of expensing stock options under ASC Topic 718.
(8)                 Other charges represent the Q3 2008 litigation settlement with
                    Quantum Corporation with payment in Q4 2008.
