Microsoft Quarterly Revenue Tops $10 Billion Redmond, Wash. For more information, press only: Rapid Response Team, Waggener Edstrom, (503) 443-7070, rrt@wagged.com Jan. 22, 2004 Redmond, Wash. – Jan. 22, 2004 – Microsoft Corp. today announced record revenue of $10.15 billion for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2003, a 19% increase over $8.54 billion in the prior year. Operating income for the second quarter was $1.48 billion, compared to $2.23 billion in the prior year. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter were $1.55 billion and $0.14 per share. These results include stock based compensation expense of $2.17 billion (after-tax) or $0.20 per share, of which $1.48 billion (after-tax) or $0.14 per share related to the completion of the employee Stock Option Transfer Program. For the previous year, net income and earnings per share for the second quarter were $1.87 billion and $0.17 per share, including stock based compensation expense of $709 million (after-tax) or $0.07 per share, a $282 million (after-tax) or $0.03 per share charge for investment impairments, a $126 million or $0.01 per share tax benefit from the reversal of previously accrued taxes, and $141 million (after-tax) or $0.01 per share legal charge related to the state antitrust and unfair competition class action lawsuits. “Consumer and corporate demand for PCs continued to exceed our expectations and resulted in solid double-digit revenue growth for Windows(R) XP and Office products,” said John Connors, chief financial officer at Microsoft. “In the second quarter, the overall corporate IT market also began to show signs of a recovery, with increased demand for both desktop and server products. Going forward, we will continue to focus on driving broader customer adoption of our latest enterprise products, including Office 2003, Windows Server(TM) 2003, Exchange Server 2003, and Small Business Server 2003.” Information Worker revenue grew 27% over the prior year, as customers took advantage of the compelling value in the new Office System collaboration and productivity tools. Strong adoption of Office 2003 by consumers and small businesses drove sales in the retail and system builder channels to surpass expectations. Customers acquiring Office during the quarter included Eli Lilly and Company, Safeco Corporation, and Ticketmaster. MSN(R) once again reported stronger than expected revenue growth of 19% over last year. “As MSN continues to invest in its growing businesses, we remain focused on achieving long term profitability,” said Bruce Jaffe, chief financial officer of MSN.  “A key factor in attaining that long-term goal will be the success of MSN’s advertising business which achieved record revenue with 47% growth year over year, driven by strength in both traditional online and search-based advertising.” This month, MSN also launched MSN Premium and the new MSN.com, which provides additional services for broadband customers as well as new opportunities for advertisers. MSN Premium is Microsoft’s most comprehensive web service ever offered with advanced communication capabilities, security and protection features, and rich information services and productivity applications. Home and Entertainment had a solid quarter driven by sales of Xbox(R) games and consoles. With over 400 games available, including 70 Live-enabled games, Xbox grew its U.S. cumulative game attach rate to 6.4, according to NPD Data. Since the launch of Xbox in 2001, Microsoft has sold over 13.7 million Xbox consoles worldwide and is on track to have sold 14.5 to 16.0 million consoles by the end of this fiscal year. In addition, Xbox Live(TM) momentum continued with subscribers growing to nearly 750,000, keeping the business on target to have one million subscribers by the end of the fiscal year.
