Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On November 1, 2007, Digi International Inc. (the “Company”) reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. See the Company’s press release dated November 1, 2007, which is furnished as Exhibit 99 and incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
     The press release furnished as Exhibit 99 and certain information the Company intends to disclose on the conference call scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1, 2007 includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The press release includes earnings per diluted share information that excludes: (i) the reversal of tax reserves and other discrete tax benefits, and (ii) acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of MaxStream, Inc. in 2006. The reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are contained in the earnings release and are also included below.
     Management believes that excluding the reversal of tax reserves, other discrete tax benefits, and acquisition-related expenses from the financial measures provides a more meaningful comparison and understanding of the Company’s operating performance from one year to the next because these items are unusual and not directly related to the Company’s core operations. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the Company. In addition, shareholders in the Company have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of decisions relating to acquisitions and taxes, which while important are not recurring or central to the core operations of the Company’s business.
     In the conference call, management will provide information about the Company’s earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below.
     Management understands that there are material limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. The use of EBTDA does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for the Company’s working capital needs. Additionally, measures of EBTDA, including EBTDA as a percentage of net sales, may be calculated differently from company to company, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Management nevertheless believes that the presentation of EBTDA as a percentage of net sales is useful to investors because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring the Company’s performance from year to year and in assessing the Company’s performance against other companies. Management believes that such information helps investors compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of the Company’s capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Management believes that EBTDA as a percentage of net sales is not only useful for the Company in measuring and monitoring internal performance, but it is also widely used by analysts and investors to assess the Company’s performance. The Company uses EBTDA as a percentage of net sales as a key performance indicator of how the Company is performing compared to prior periods and compared to the Company’s operating plan. Furthermore, the Company’s incentive compensation plans use EBTDA to measure operating performance, which is a factor that the most employees have the ability to influence.
