Fourth Consecutive Quarter of Profitability; License Revenues Increase Versus Q4 of Prior Year
MCLEAN, Va. (January 30, 2003) –
MicroStrategy(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced its financial results for the three- month period ended December 31, 2002 (the fourth quarter of its 2002 fiscal year), reporting its fourth consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability and full year earnings of $3.12 per share on a diluted basis.
Fourth quarter 2002 revenues were $42.0 million versus $33.4 million in the third quarter of 2002 and $43.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. Fourth quarter 2002 license revenues were $20.5 million versus $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2002 and $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2002, determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), was $4.6 million, or $0.33 per share on a diluted basis. This result included restructuring and impairment charges of $1.4 million, charges for amortization of goodwill and intangible assets of $0.5 million, a charge for discount amortization expense on notes payable of $1.0 million, and a gain on the partial extinguishment of notes payable of $2.0 million. Excluding these items, adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $5.5 million, or $0.40 per share on a diluted basis.
“A full year of profitability and four consecutive profitable quarters are significant achievements for MicroStrategy. Our license revenues in the fourth quarter grew by 9 percent over the same period in 2001, which indicates that our field operations, supported by several new product releases, had solid execution,” said MicroStrategy President and CFO, Eric F. Brown. “We have implemented rigorous changes to all aspects of our operations and made substantial improvements to our balance sheet.”
“The earnings speak for themselves. MicroStrategy has become a profitable, more cost-efficient and productive company,” said MicroStrategy Chairman and CEO Michael J. Saylor. “In 2002, in contrast to many software companies, we grew our sales force by approximately 30 percent, and we won major new business with leading companies across the globe. Acknowledging the strength of our scalable, pure web MicroStrategy 7i(TM) platform, industry leaders now view MicroStrategy as a technically superior alternative to vendors such as Business Objects and Cognos. These vendors have numerous small-scale implementations but are not well-architected to meet the deployment and on-going maintenance needs of mid-size and large organizations.”

Year of Technological Milestones & Innovation Solidifies MicroStrategy’s Leadership
In 2002, MicroStrategy solidified its technological leadership in enterprise-class, industrial strength business intelligence software with a series of major technological milestones and innovations. In April 2002, MicroStrategy released its new, significantly enhanced version of its business intelligence software platform, MicroStrategy 7i. Winning high praise from customers and leading industry analysts alike, MicroStrategy 7i represented a technological breakthrough for the industry, as it is the first truly integrated, 100-percent Web-based platform that puts a wide range of user functionality into a single business intelligence technology.
In the third quarter, MicroStrategy further expanded the capabilities of its business intelligence platform with an enhanced version of MicroStrategy 7i (7.2.1). Addressing the urgent industry need for transparent financial tracking and reporting, MicroStrategy 7.2.1 is designed specifically to meet the demanding new requirements for financial reporting and analysis imposed on business by new government mandates with highly sophisticated, yet easy-to-use features. These new features allow fast deployment of Web-based financial reporting systems — companies can deploy an operational system within 90-120 days rather than the usual 6-12 months.
November 2002 marked the release of an easy-to-deploy, scalable Web user interface, MicroStrategy Web Universal(TM), that will run on UNIX(R), Linux(R) and Windows(R) operating systems. MicroStrategy Web Universal is a fully functional, zero-footprint Web interface that can run on any major operating system. MicroStrategy Web Universal is J2EE(TM) compliant and runs on leading application servers, including BEA WebLogic Server(TM), IBM WebSphere(R) Application Server, Sun(TM) ONE Application Server and Apache Tomcat. MicroStrategy Web Universal’s platform-independent architecture enables it to run on Windows or Linux operating systems, or on UNIX operating systems such as Sun Solaris(TM), IBM AIX(R), and HP-UX.
The market-leading capabilities of MicroStrategy’s business intelligence software platform were validated in 2002 with the issuance of the second edition of the top independent survey of the online analytic market, the OLAP Survey. The survey found MicroStrategy’s software superior to that of Business Objects, Cognos, Hyperion and Brio in the critical, strategic areas of Web deployment and data scalability. MicroStrategy’s business intelligence software platform was found to be far ahead in its capacity to be deployed easily via the Web and to serve users enterprise-wide by harnessing very large databases. (Please see: http://www.microstrategy.com/Company/Analysts_OLAP_Survey.asp .)
In 2002, MicroStrategy won Reader’s Choice awards in Intelligent Enterprise, a leading IT publication, for its software’s advanced analysis and data mining capabilities and for customer relationship management (CRM) analysis. MicroStrategy won these awards in competition with Business Objects, Oracle, Cognos, Brio, Actuate, and SAS Institute.
Also in 2002, MicroStrategy 7 was found to be the most comprehensive analytical tool reviewed by the CRN Test Center, in an evaluation of analytical tools including Microsoft’s Data Analyzer 3.5 and ProClarity’s Analytic Platform 4.0. MicroStrategy’s interactive, pure-HTML Web client and extensive library of analytical functions were among the top features the review highlighted, and the MicroStrategy 7 platform was deemed the best solution for the Web.
Finance Commentary
As of December 31, 2002, all outstanding preferred stock had been converted to common stock. During Q4 2002, the company repurchased an additional $7.5 million face value worth of its five-year 7.5% notes at a discount to par resulting in a $2.1 million gain on the partial early extinguishment of the notes. The outstanding principal amount of the notes was $63.3 million at December 31, 2002. These notes are carried on the balance sheet at a discounted value of $45.0 million with the difference between carrying value and principal value amortized on a quarterly basis through a charge reflected on the company’s profit and loss statement. As a result of this amortization, $1.0 million in non-cash interest expense was reported in the Q4 2002 results. In Q4 2002, the company wrote off $1.4 million in intangibles relating to the Teracube asset, bringing the book value of this item to zero. In Q4 2002, the company paid a total of $8.3 million on its five-year 7.5% notes, which represented interest that had accrued on the notes since April 2001. Going forward, based on the $63.3 million of aggregate face value of the notes outstanding as of the end of 2002, the company expects to make semi-annual interest payments of approximately $2.4 million through maturity. The company previously announced plans to sell its two remaining non-core business units, Angel.com and Alarm.com. The sales process did not result in the company receiving any acceptable bids for these units. Accordingly, the sales process has been terminated.

conversion at the beginning of the period under the if-converted method.
The basic and diluted loss per share calculation for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2001 excluded series A, B, C, D and E preferred stock,
which were convertible into 297,153, 673,417, 565,670, 168,155, and 9,771
weighted average shares of class A common stock, respectively, because
their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, employee stock
options of 296,664 were excluded from the diluted loss per share
calculation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 because their
effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net earnings (loss)
is helpful in understanding the ongoing operating results and cash flow
indicators with respect to the Company’s core business because the
adjustments made in computing adjusted net earnings (loss) are non-cash or
cash related gains and expenses incurred during the period that are not
associated with ongoing operating results and are not cash flow indicators
of the Company’s core business operations.

(1) The diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 11,410 for the
three months ended December 31, 2001 used in the analysis above
includes an additional 2,194 shares as compared to the diluted
weighted average shares outstanding of 9,216 shown on the face of the
Statement of Operations for the same period. Because the Company
generated a net loss in accordance with GAAP during this period, the
potential dilutive effect of the series A, B, C, and D preferred stock
was excluded from the GAAP diluted weighted average share count to
preclude an anti-dilutive impact on GAAP net loss per share. Because
the adjusted net earnings are positive, the diluted weighted average
shares outstanding as reflected above for the three months ended
December 31, 2001 have been increased by 2,194 to give effect to the
potential dilution of the series A, B, C and D preferred stock.
