Trend Micro Reports Record Fourth Quarter Results

And Consolidated Revenue for 2004

 

Growth fueled by continued momentum in both enterprise and consumer segments

 

Tokyo, Japan – February 3, 2005 – Trend Micro, Inc. (TSE: 4704, NASDAQ: TMIC), a leader in network antivirus and Internet content security software and services, today announced record revenue for the fourth quarter 2004 and record net sales results for the year ended December 31, 2004 (both U.S. GAAP).

 

For the fourth quarter, Trend Micro posted consolidated net sales of 17.7 billion Yen (or US $167.9 million, 105.63JPY = 1USD), operating income of 7.88 billion Yen (or US $74.6 million), and net income of 4.7 billion Yen (or US $44.9 million), marking a 32% growth in net sales and a 50% rise in operating income compared to the same period a year ago.

 

The strong global performance in the fourth quarter helped Trend Micro set an all-time high in annual net sales. For 2004, Trend Micro generated 62.05 billion Yen (or US $587.4 million) in net sales, reflecting an increase of 29% from 2003. Operating income was 26.08 billion Yen (or US $246.9 million) for the year, up 72% from 2003, and net income was 15.8 billion Yen (or US $150.3 million), also up 72% from the previous year.

 

“2004 was an exciting year for Trend Micro, and during this time we introduced many new innovations, such as Network VirusWall, and established agreements with leading industry providers like Cisco and MSN Hotmail that we believe will position us for continued success in 2005 and beyond,” said Eva Chen, CEO and co-founder of Trend Micro. “As our customers’ needs evolve, our focus remains unwavering – to deliver timely updates and protect our customers from malicious threats amid an increasingly unpredictable environment.”

 

Continued demand for comprehensive protection in the enterprise and consumer environments resulted in strong growth across the company’s various product lines. In 2004, gateway suite products grew 131% compared to the previous year, and consumer products experienced a 39% year-over-year increase. Enterprise products comprised 78% of total annual revenues for 2004, with consumer products comprising 22%.

 

Worldwide performance was strong throughout the year, highlighted by Japan, Europe, and the United States.

 

The company plans to pay cash dividends of 4.7 billion Yen, or 36 Yen per share, for 2004. The payout ratio is 30%.

 

Based on information currently available to the company, consolidated net sales for the first quarter ending March 31, 2005 is expected to be 16.3 billion Yen (or US $158 million, based on an exchange rate as of January 28, 2005 of 103JPY = 1USD). Operating income and net income are expected to be 6.2 billion Yen (or US $60 million) and 3.8 billion Yen (or US $36.9 million), respectively.

Fourth Quarter Business Highlights

 

  Hotmail & Trend Micro

 

An agreement with MSN Hotmail was established in which Trend Micro’s technology will provide antivirus scanning and cleaning protection for its Web-based services. The agreement calls for Trend Micro to protect nearly 200 million email accounts from the latest viruses, Trojans, and worms that may be hidden in email attachments. MSN Hotmail’s Trend Micro-backed services commenced worldwide in December 2004.

 

  Awards & Recognition

 

Trend Micro won the Frost and Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy Leadership, an award based on Frost and Sullivan’s annual survey of key antivirus industry players. Trend Micro won the award based on its progress on several fronts: Revenue growth, market share gained, profitability, strategic alliances, customer service and support, and general market strength. Trend Micro was also named to the ranks of the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific, which recognizes technology companies that have achieved certain rates of annual revenue growth in Asia Pacific during the past three years.

 

Trend Micro products received several honors, including the Editor’s Choice award from Technology and Business magazine for Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Suite version 2.0, and the CNET Editors’ Choice Award 2004 for Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2005. PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 was also named to the Computer Shopper Top 100 list.

 

  Support & Service

 

Trend Micro’s TrendLabs headquarters (Manila, Philippines) was awarded certification for British Standards 7799 for meeting requirements of the British Standards Institute for information management systems. Satisfying these standards helps ensure that Trend Micro’s customers are supported by TrendLabs in the midst of day-to-day security risks, computer intrusion, power outages, physical disasters, and other threats.

 

  Products & Innovation

 

In the fourth quarter, Trend Micro’s family of revolutionary outbreak prevention appliances was extended with the introduction of Trend Micro Network VirusWall 2500 and 300. These appliance-based products introduced greater flexibility in enforcing network security policies to help stop the damaging effects of network worms - from globally distributed enterprise environments to single, mission-critical devices. The company also introduced Trend Micro Mobile Security, which provides antivirus and anti-spam protection for SMS messaging customers using data-centric mobile phones and PDAs.

 

  Enterprise Segment

 

New customers and new business gained during the quarter included Nextel, Inc., a provider of fully integrated wireless communications services in the United States. In Japan, Trend Micro began providing threat lifecycle management services to Information and Telecommunication Systems of Hitachi, Ltd. and Hitachi Electronics Services Co., Ltd.
