Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
      On January 22, 2009, Digi International Inc. (the “Company”) reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. See the Company’s press release dated January 22, 2009, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
     The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and certain information the Company intends to disclose on the conference call include certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include earnings before taxes, depreciation, amortization (“EBTDA”) and net income and net income per diluted share exclusive of the impact of certain non-recurring items. The non-recurring items consist of discrete tax benefits. The reconciliation of the EBTDA measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below. The reconciliations of the net income and net income per diluted share measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the press release.
     Management understands that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such as net income, for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. Additionally, Management understands that 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. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by the Company. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Management believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
     Management believes that providing net income and net income per diluted share exclusive of the impact of non-recurring items permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Additionally, management 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 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 taxes, which while important are not central to the core operations of the Company’s business.
