IIJ Announces Full Year and Fourth Quarter Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014


(GlobeNewswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TOKYO, May 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Internet Initiative Japan Inc. ("IIJ") (Nasdaq:IIJI) (TSE:3774) today announced its full year ("FY2013") and 4th quarter ("4Q13") consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 (from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014).1      Highlights of Financial Results for FY2013         Revenues  JPY114,272 million (up 7.6% YoY) Operating Income  JPY5,723 million (down 26.2% YoY) Net Income attributable to IIJ  JPY4,442 million (down 16.2% YoY)        Financial Targets for FY2014   Revenues  JPY123,000 million  (up 7.6% YoY)   Operating Income  JPY7,200 million (up 25.8% YoY) Net Income attributable to IIJ  JPY4,500 million (up 1.3% YoY) Annual Cash Dividend JPY22.00 per share     Overview of FY2013 Financial Results and Business Outlook "Our business bases have been largely strengthened with several unconventional transactions in FY2013, while income results were weak mainly due to certain large customers' revenues leveling off as we reported in 3Q earnings. We've pursued some progressive large-scale projects by leveraging our cloud facilities and services, MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) infrastructure and system integration features. We strongly believe these projects should surely contribute to our continuous revenue and income growth for the coming few years," said Koichi Suzuki, Founder and CEO of IIJ.



"Our cloud services "IIJ GIO" continued to grow in revenue, the number of customers, and system volume. Same as our prominent connectivity business, we mainly target large institutions with our reliable and value-added cloud service features. As seen in the case of Sompo Japan, one of the largest Japanese insurance companies, extensively adopting IIJ GIO to their IT system platforms, we're starting to see the usage of cloud services by some Japanese blue-chips becoming more advanced and conjugated. We also anticipate that BigData trend should encourage the adoption of cloud services. These recent changes in market momentum are certainly tailwinds for IIJ in the middle term," followed Eijiro Katsu, President and COO of IIJ.

"Triggered by our LTE SIM card offerings to consumers, our MVNO business has largely expanded in FY2013. Consumers can enjoy much cheaper smart-phones connectivity with our SIM card services than mobile carriers' expensive services. These MVNO services are relatively new in the Japanese market and we're anticipating further penetration to continue. We're also receiving increasing requirements from large institutions to act as MVNE (Mobile Virtual Network Enabler), asking us to offer our established large MVNO infrastructure. The demands for M2M (Machine to Machine connection) are also continuously expanding. By grasping these business opportunities for both corporate and consumers, we believe we'll be able to have continuous income increase by improving our network utilization," said Katsu.


1 Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures discussed in this announcement are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All financial figures are unaudited and consolidated. The translation of Japanese yen into U.S. dollars is solely for the convenience of readers outside of Japan. The rate used for the translation was JPY102.98 per US$1.00, which was the noon buying rate on March 31, 2014.

"As for systems integration, we continued to see great demands supported by overall Japanese economic recovery. We've acquired several flagship projects to which we jointly offer our network services and systems integration. We believe strong demands for network related systems investment and outsourcing from Japanese corporate should continue and our role to offer total network solutions become more important," continued Katsu.

"For FY2014, we shall devote ourselves to return to strong profit growth. We'd like to pursue on selling profitable monthly recurring revenue services more efficiently, increasing the number of large accounts, implementing stricter control on systems integration profitability and so on. At the same time, we will continuously implement our middle- to long- term growth strategies, including continuous recruitment of employees in aiming to dramatically enlarge our business scale. And also, we'd like to keep looking into M&A opportunities," concluded Katsu.

We target operating cost and expenses of JPY115.8 billion, up 6.7% YoY. We expect continuous increase in personnel-related expenses, increase in depreciation of network equipment, additional expenses from the relocation of headquarter in the first half of FY2014 and increase in costs related to purchasing and outsourcing in relation to SI revenue growth.

For operating income, we target JPY7.2 billion, up 25.8% YoY.
