Q4 revenue: $14.9 million, 1,800 new customers added during quarter
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – January 25, 2006 – CyberSource Corporation (NASDAQ: CYBS), a leading provider of electronic payment and risk management solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. In addition to financial results presented on a GAAP basis, the company has provided non-GAAP measures of operating expenses, net income and earnings per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain items that the company believes are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of its 2005 financial results as compared to previous periods. For purposes of this release, non-GAAP net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter and full year 2005 exclude a $3.2 million tax benefit resulting from the reduction of a portion of the company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset. In addition, non-GAAP operating expenses, net income and earnings per share exclude approximately $300,000 in non-recurring acquisition expenses. Non-GAAP operating expenses, net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter 2004 and full year 2004 exclude the reversal of $1.5 million of previously recorded restructuring charges relating to the company’s lease of its Mountain View facility.
| | • | | Revenue in the fourth quarter grew to $14.9 million, a 43% increase over the same period last year. |
| | • | | Net income for the fourth quarter was $5.2 million on a GAAP basis.

Fourth quarter 2005 financial results
Summarized below are CyberSource’s fourth quarter financial results.

Gross margin: Gross margin was 58% compared to 64% in the same period last year, equaling prior guidance.

CyberSource’s Seventh Annual Online Fraud Report:

One key finding of the survey is that although the percent of online revenues lost to payment fraud has been relatively stable in the last three years, the total cost of fraud has grown significantly as eCommerce has continued to grow by more than 20% per year. The Seventh Annual Fraud Report is available free online atwww.cybersource.com. |
Guidance
Historically, in each fourth quarter earnings conference call, CyberSource provided detailed guidance regarding the subsequent first quarter and full year financial performance. However, given the company’s reduction in its deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2005 as well as its upcoming implementation of SFAS 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” in the first quarter of 2006, the company is reviewing the financial metrics it was going to convey regarding its future financial performance. The company intends to provide guidance for the first quarter of 2006 and full year 2006 in a press release to be issued February 7, 2006, which will be followed by a conference call at 1:30pm PST.
