BALTIMORE—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Nov. 7, 2005— SafeNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFNT), setting the standard for information security, reiterated guidance from the conference call on October 27, 2005 and clarified revenue growth assumptions based on questions from investors after the call. In addition to this guidance, the company is providing GAAP guidance for the Fourth Quarter 2005 and the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2006.

Current Outlook for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2005, and Full Year 2006

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations that may be completed after the date of this release.

    --  For the quarter ending December 31, 2005, SafeNet currently
        expects to achieve revenues in the range of $78 to $82
        million. The non-GAAP net income is expected to be in the
        range of $0.55 to $0.60 per diluted share. Non-GAAP guidance
        excludes various integration expenses and non-recurring
        charges, which are expected to be approximately $1 million.
        GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $0.33 to
        $0.38 per diluted share.

        --  The Company expects to ship approximately $18 million from
            the $150 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity
            (IDIQ) contract awarded by the Department of Defense for
            the KIV-7M link encryptor product, announced on September
            29, 2005.

            --  Approximately 40% of this $18 million replaces revenue
                from the legacy KIV-7 link encryptor. Therefore, the
                company expects approximately $10 million net increase
                from Third Quarter 2005 in the KIV-7 family product
                area of its Classified Government business.

    --  For the year ending December 31, 2005, the Company's guidance
        for revenue is expected to be in the range of $255 to $275
        million. Non-GAAP net income guidance for 2005 is expected to
        be between $1.45 and $1.55 per diluted share. Non-GAAP
        guidance excludes various integration expenses and
        non-recurring charges. GAAP net income expected to be between
        $0.25 and $0.35 per diluted share.

    --  For the year ending December 31, 2006, the Company's guidance
        for revenue is expected to be in a range of $295 to $315
        million, and non-GAAP net income guidance range of $1.70 and
        $1.90 per diluted share. GAAP net income is expected to be
        between $1.20 and $1.40 per diluted share. The expected GAAP
        net income excludes the impact of FASB Statement No. 123(R),
        Share Based Payment, as the Company is assessing the impact of
        the Statement.

        --  The Company expects approximately $15 - $20 million of net
            revenue increase from the Classified Government business
            line for FY 2006. This increase does not include any
            additional revenue from the HAIPE version of the KIV-7M,
            expected to be available at mid year FY 2006. There are a
            few main factors affecting the revenue increase:

            --  In 2006, the Company expects to ship approximately $65
                million of KIV-7M versus approximately $40 million of
                KIV-7 product in 2005. The majority of this 2006
                revenue replaces revenue from the legacy KIV-7 link
                encryptor, for a net increase of approximately $25
                million.

            --  The Company indicated that a new $20 million
                development project order for the Satellite product
                was signed in Third Quarter 2005. The Company expects
                the revenue to be recognized over approximately 2 1/2
                years. This revenue will replace other 2005
                development projects that have been completed, for no
                net change.

            --  The Company expects a decline from 2005 of
                approximately $10 million from legacy products that
                are coming to the end of their life, for a decrease of
                approximately $10 million.

            --  The Company has estimated that revenue from the HAIPE
                KIV-7M will range from approximately $240 to
                approximately $300 million between 2006 and 2011. This
                revenue will be all incremental since there is no
                legacy product.

        --  Gross margins are expected to be between 55% and 57%.

            --  The Company expects a reduction of approximately $2.5
                million of start up costs associated with the release
                of the KIV-7M product which should result in improved
                margins from this business line. The company is also
                focused on a program to continue improving gross
                margins over time.
