                           FINANCIAL RESULTS

    GAAP Results

    In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, Citrix achieved revenue of
$211.2 million, compared to $178.3 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2004, representing 18 percent revenue growth.
    Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $27.9
million, or $0.16 per diluted share - which included a net tax
provision of approximately $16 million recorded in anticipation of
repatriating certain foreign earnings pursuant to the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA) - compared to net income of $31.5 million,
or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

    Non-GAAP Results

    Net income, adjusted to exclude the effects of amortization of
intangible assets, amortization of deferred stock-based compensation,
and the above mentioned net tax provision, was $47.8 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2005, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to
$35.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the comparable period
last year.
    "Our second quarter results were excellent," said Mark Templeton,
president and chief executive officer for Citrix.
    "We're showing continued momentum in our business with strong top
line and adjusted earnings growth, and another quarter of very solid
cash flow. Our business continued its product license and license
update growth while we built revenue streams from new products - with
strong performances from Citrix GoToMeeting and Citrix Access Gateway.
The traction in our new products makes us confident in our strategic
moves into adjacent access infrastructure markets.
    "Our second quarter release of Access Suite 4.0 is getting
partners and customers excited, giving them compelling reasons for
adopting, expanding, or standardizing on Citrix.
    "We kicked off the third quarter by launching Access Essentials,
our new product designed to bring secure, remote access to small
businesses, and by winning our second 'Global ISV of the Year Award'
from Microsoft.
    "We head into the second half of the year executing well on our
strategy, and we look forward to the closing of the NetScaler
transaction to further enhance our market leadership and the
competitiveness of the Citrix Access Platform."

    Customer Highlights

    Citrix closed several large customer sales during the quarter,
including Amadeus, BigBand Networks, Central DuPage Hospital, Hamilton
Health Sciences, and Postini.
    Amadeus is a leading global distribution system (GDS) and
technology provider serving the marketing, sales and distribution
needs of the travel and tourism industries in over 210 worldwide
markets. Amadeus turned to Citrix Online for help defining its support
organization's access strategy, designed to improve customer service
without adding costs or additional support resources. Citrix(R)
GoToAssist(TM) allows Amadeus to meet its customer service objectives
by enabling more than 100 National Marketing Companies (NMCs) to
provide on-demand support to travel agencies and airline offices
around the globe.
    BigBand Networks, a leading provider of platforms for broadband
multimedia services, has licensed 100 Citrix(R) GoToMeeting(TM) seats,
adding real-time collaboration capabilities to manage its growing,
global base of customers and its globally distributed organization.
With deployments on four continents providing live services to more
than 20 million digital television and broadband Internet subscribers,
BigBand Networks relies on GoToMeeting to facilitate a strong presence
in their multi-national markets while continuing to build a seamless
and integrated organization.
    For more than 40 years Central DuPage Hospital has been the leader
in providing outstanding healthcare services to people who live and
work in Chicago's western suburbs. Recognizing the advantages of
deploying an Access Platform, the hospital chose the Citrix Access
Suite for IT centralization, employee cost control and PC maintenance.
    Hamilton Health Sciences, one of Canada's largest multi-site
teaching hospitals, selected the Citrix Access Platform for
centralized application access and Citrix SmoothRoaming(TM)
capabilities for its staff. With 3,500 seats of Citrix Presentation
Server 3.0, the hospital has lowered its desktop costs and simplified
application management for business-critical software such as
Microsoft, Meditech and Peoplesoft. Once the roll-out is complete,
80 percent of all employees will use Citrix day-to-day for secure
application access anytime, anywhere.
    Postini, the leading provider of e-mail security and management
solutions, selected the Citrix Access Gateway to improve its VPN
solution for secure remote access. Each week the company processes
more than three billion e-mail messages for more than 5,000 companies
around the globe - all while relying on a staff that works around the
clock. The Access Gateway's self-installing client reduced support
costs and provides an extra layer of security against threats by
hiding the IP addresses of the remote network. The benefits of the
Citrix Access Gateway have translated into better customer support and
increased customer satisfaction.

   Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S.
                             GAAP Measures

                              (Unaudited)

    We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our
performance. We consider these measures important indicators of our
success. In addition, Citrix provides these non-GAAP measures of the
company's performance to investors to enable them to, among other
things, better compare Citrix's most recent results of operations
against financial models prepared by the company's investors and
securities analysts, and to provide additional information concerning
the impact of business acquisitions on Citrix's results of operations.
These measures should not be considered an alternative to measurements
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States ("GAAP") such as net income and earnings per share and should
not be considered measures of our liquidity. In addition, our non-GAAP
financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported
by other companies.
    The following tables reconcile non-GAAP financial measures used in
this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective
periods (in thousands, except for per share information and
percentages):
