Overview of 9 months for FY2013 Financial Results and Business Outlook
"We recognize the coming several years to be remarkable period for IIJ to leap into the next level of business phase. The continuous technological innovation of network infrastructure, the ongoing development of the widely-used smart phones and other portable devises, and the evolving IT needs as seen with the growing concept of big data should promote the further adoption of network and cloud usages by Japanese enterprises and governmental organization supported by the returned demand on systems investment along with the Japanese economic recovery. To grasp these favorable growth opportunities, we're enhancing our business investments more than ever. This fiscal year, we're increasing the procurement number of employees and aggressively investing in cloud and overseas businesses in particular," said Koichi Suzuki, Founder and CEO of IIJ.
"Along with our business expansion, our operating costs, including depreciation and amortization, personnel and overseas business-related costs, have increased largely from the beginning of this fiscal year. On the other hand, we've suffered from some large customers' recurring revenues slow down and decrease than estimated this fiscal year. Certain carriers, network operators and game providers are one of our largest customers, and we had serious price down pressure for Internet connectivity and WAN services and partial cancellation of server usage from them due to their individual business conditions. Costs of our recurring revenues are mainly costs to operate and maintain network facilities and equipment such as depreciation, personnel and circuit related costs and these costs are not directly correlated with individual revenue increase or decrease in general. Thus, the increasing gap to our initial expectation quarter by quarter in recurring revenues impacts our income level significantly. We're seeing quite fine systems construction orders, yet it wouldn't be strong enough to cover their reduced volume. Considering these situations, we revised our financial target downward," said Eijiro Katsu, President and COO of IIJ.
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 JPY105.25 per US$1.00, which was the noon buying rate on December 31, 2013.
"We perceive this fiscal year's financial situation as a part of the course for future growth, although the sales slumps of large customers have not been expected. Sales activities have been quite fine in accumulating new orders and polishing the existing deep relationships with our core customers. It is true that our business transactions with large customers continuously become significant and our business volatility becomes large along with that. We need to implement further stronger control and management for large accounts and also increase such large customers and transactions more to reduce total business volatility. We believe our cloud strategy to capture blue-chips' core platform systems should respond this issue to grow our customers into large accounts in the middle term," continued Katsu.
"We can anticipate continuous growth of network and outsourcing demands, strong SI orders next year. As for large accounts, network carriers' traffic should continuously grow and game providers' server usage should grow in total. We are still in the middle of business investment and we continuously pursue business expansion strategy. We'll devote ourselves on network services development and the accumulation of profitable recurring revenue services. Also, with further investment and cost control, we believe we will get back to the track to strong income growth in the next fiscal year. Lastly, we'd like to pursue M&A transactions to support our business scale-up," concluded Suzuki.

Network Services revenue was JPY50,301 million, up 3.7% YoY.
Revenues for Internet connectivity services for corporate use were JPY12,499 million, up 6.1% YoY. The increase was mainly due to the increasing demands for broader bandwidth and mobile service.

The year-end dividend target remains unchanged from JPY11.00 announced on May 15, 2013.
2. Reason for Revision
We believe that the business growth opportunities for IIJ group should be greater than ever for the middle term, considering the current overall market situation. The continuous technological innovation of network infrastructure, the ongoing development of the widely-used smart phones and other portable devises, and the evolving IT needs as seen with the growing concept of big data should promote the further adoption of network and cloud usages by Japanese enterprises and governmental organization supported by the returned demand on systems investment along with the Japanese economic recovery. Realizing the coming few years would be a critical period for IIJ business growth, we have been quite aggressive in business investment from the beginning of this fiscal year. Such business investment includes the enhanced procurement of employees, the continued expansion of network infrastructure, the continued service development, and the reinforcement of new business investment such as overseas business.
The operating costs and expenses for the nine months in FY2013 (from April 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, "3Q13") increased significantly by JPY6,888 million, up 9.6% compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year ("YoY") mainly due to the above described business investment. The table below shows the breakdown of year over year difference in revenue, cost and SG&A and R&D expenses. The increase in the costs of systems integration revenues is principally purchasing costs, outsourcing-related and personnel-related costs in accordance with its revenue increase. The increase in the costs of network services revenues and SG&A and R&D expenses was mainly related to the business expansion operation including the increased number of employees, the expansion of network infrastructure including cloud-related, and the reinforcement of overseas business. The breakdown by items is as follows: the total personnel-related costs increased by JPY1,281 million, up 11.1% YoY, the outsourcing-related costs increased by JPY1,882 million, up 12.7%, the rent-related costs increased by JPY362 million, up 22.2% YoY, the depreciation and amortization increased by JPY814 million, up 14.8% YoY, and the purchasing costs increased by JPY1,339 million, up 24.1% YoY.

On the other hand, the total revenues for 3Q13 fell short of the initial plan. The gap was primarily due to the recurring revenues which consist of network services revenues (Internet connectivity services, outsourcing services, and WAN services) and operation and maintenance revenues of systems integration revenues. One of the most critical factors affecting the gap of recurring revenues was the slowing down and/or decrease of revenue from certain large customers of carriers, network operators and game providers who led FY2012 revenue growth. Because of these large customers' individual business conditions, the strong price down pressure in Internet connectivity and WAN services and the reduced server usage in cloud services and systems operation and maintenance have been taken place. Those gaps in the recurring revenue have been increasing quarter by quarter and it is estimated to become even greater in the fourth quarter. The recurring revenues from these certain large customers are estimated to be approximately JPY2.0 billion short of the initial target. While the systems construction revenues are expected to be strong based on the favorable order situation, the accumulation of the recurring revenues from the other general customers has not been as strong as the initial plan due to factors such as the postponement of new services launch. Because of all these relevant reasons, we revised FY2013 total revenues target from JPY117.0 billion to JPY114.0 billion, down 2.6% compared with the target.
The operating income for 3Q13 decreased by 16.5% YoY. The decrease in profit has been widening - the operating income for the first half of FY2013 decreased by 7.8% YoY. The developing decrease in profit is primarily because the recurring revenue has not been accumulating as planned. Also, the above described business expansion strategies have been resulted in the increase in the cost and expenses. The costs of the recurring revenues are mainly costs to operate and maintain the network facilities and equipment such as circuit costs, depreciation, personnel-related and outsourcing-related costs, and these costs are not directly correlated with individual revenue increase or decrease. Thus, the fluctuations in the recurring revenues tend to have a significant impact on operating income in general. The widening of the operating income gap is estimated to continue in the fourth quarter. In regards to the favorable order situation of systems construction, its gross margin ratio is to be lower than the plan as the trend of large scale projects is observed. Considering these relevant factors, we revised FY2013 operating income target from JPY9.4 billion to JPY6.0 billion, down 36.2% compared with the previous target.
The targets for income before income tax expense and net income attributable to IIJ have also been revised in accordance with the above described revisions respectively.
(*) The above targets for FY2013 consolidated financial results are based on information available at the time of the announcement and the actual results may differ from the targets due to various factors.
