Overview of 1st Quarter FY2011 Financial Results and Business Outlook



“We recorded a strong and very encouraging first quarter growth in a volatile economic environment. Revenue and operating income for this quarter was the highest 1st quarter results recorded,” said Koichi Suzuki, President and CEO of IIJ. “In addition to the contributions from IIJ-Global, we have seen continuous growth in our overall business, including SI, despite the weakened Japanese economic momentum after the March11 Earthquake. Followed by various outsourcing needs, our recurring revenues continued to accumulate and contributed to steady business growth.”



“As for our cloud computing service, it continued to deliver strong performance from the first quarter. Although cloud computing services have just begun in Japan and our customers are mostly Social Application Providers at the moment, we are helping more Japanese blue-chip companies build their new systems using our cloud computing service. Currently, we are servicing nearly 600 cloud computing projects and monthly revenue from our cloud computing services for June 2011 has reached over JPY180 million from JPY120 million for March 2011. For FY2011, we target our cloud computing service to earn over JPY3 billion in revenues.”



“Due to stronger demands, we will further invest in cloud computing-related facilities such as the ‘Matsue Data Center’ and other service facilities to drive future growth and augment competitive advantage.”



“In addition, we have opened the new lease based data center in the Kansai region, the ‘Kozu Data Center’, to meet the increasing demands for data center facilities in relation to BCP (Business Continuity Plan) and disaster recovery needs.”



“For the coming quarters, we expect our outsourcing services and cloud computing-related services to grow steadily. We will continue to be best positioned as one of the leading total network solutions provider in Japan for those in need for network service, outsourcing service and systems integration.”
