Exhibit 99.1
Citrix Reports First Quarter Financial Results
Quarterly Revenue of $369 million
GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.04
Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.32
Board of Directors Authorizes $300 Million Increase to Share Repurchase Program
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2009--Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 ended March 31, 2009.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, Citrix achieved revenue of $369 million, compared to $377 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, representing a 2 percent decrease in revenue.
GAAP Results
Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share compared to $34 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008. These GAAP results include a restructuring charge of approximately $21 million.
Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $59 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $66 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the comparable period last year. Non-GAAP net income excludes the effects of amortization of intangible assets primarily related to business combinations and stock-based compensation expenses and the tax effects related to those items. In addition, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2009 also excludes the effect of the restructuring program that the company implemented in January 2009.
"I’m pleased with our Q1 execution in the toughest macro environment we’ve seen in years," said Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer. "Smaller IT budgets are the new reality. We believe this makes our enterprise and SaaS products even more compelling because they lower IT costs while offering much-needed business flexibility."
In addition to quarterly financial results, Citrix also announced that its board of directors has authorized it to repurchase up to an additional $300 million of its common stock. As of March 31, 2009, approximately $50 million remained in authority from previous approvals.

The above statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release and related conference call, slide presentation or webcast to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These measures differ from GAAP in that they exclude amortization primarily related to business combinations, stock-based compensation expenses, charges associated with its restructuring program and the related tax effect of those items. The Company's basis for these adjustments is described below.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting and forecasting purposes, when publicly providing its business outlook, to evaluate the Company's performance and to evaluate and compensate the Company's executives. The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to certain investors and financial analysts for comparison across accounting periods not influenced by certain non-cash items that are not used by management when evaluating the Company's historical and prospective financial performance. In addition, the Company has historically provided this or similar information and understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's gross margins, operating expenses and net income and comparing the Company's financial performance to that of its peer companies and competitors.
Management typically excludes the amounts described above when evaluating the Company's operating performance and believes that the resulting non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company's operating performance due to the following factors:
- The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle. The Company, therefore, believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures that adjust for the impact of amortization, in-process research and development and certain stock-based compensation expenses and the related tax effects that are primarily related to business combinations, provide investors and financial analysts with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and, therefore, are useful to investors and financial analysts in helping them to better understand the Company's operating results and underlying operational trends.
- Amortization costs and the related tax effects are fixed at the time of an acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition.
- Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of the Company's employees and executives, stock-based compensation expense is generally fixed at the time of grant, then amortized over a period of several years after the grant of the stock-based instrument, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant.
- The charges incurred in conjunction with the Company's restructuring program, which relate to reductions in headcount, are not anticipated to be ongoing costs and, thus, are outside of the normal operations of the Company's business. The Company, therefore, believes that the exclusion of these charges will better help investors and financial analysts understand the Company's operating results and underlying operational trends as compared to prior periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The additional non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP (such as net income and earnings per share) and should not be considered measures of the Company's liquidity. Furthermore, the Company in the future may exclude amortization and in-process research and development primarily related to new business combinations, additional charges related to its restructuring program and the related tax effects from financial measures that it releases, and the Company expects to continue to incur stock-based compensation expenses.
