MicroStrategy Announces

Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results

59% Growth in License Revenue Year-Over-Year

Vienna, Va., January 25, 2011 - MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 (the fourth quarter of its 2010 fiscal year).

Fourth quarter 2010 revenues were $139.1 million, the highest quarterly total revenues in Company history, versus $105.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, a 32% increase. Product licenses revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $47.7 million versus $30.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, a 59% increase. Product support and other services revenues for MicroStrategy’s core business intelligence (BI) business in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $85.8 million versus $71.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, a 20% increase.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $87.4 million versus $59.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, a 46% increase. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s worldwide employee headcount and related expenses, and to an increase in variable compensation resulting from the increase in revenue.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $17.9 million, or $1.60 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $20.5 million, or $1.66 per share on a diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2009.

For the fourth quarter of 2010, MicroStrategy’s effective tax rate was 9% compared to 24% for the fourth quarter of 2009. The lower effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2010 was primarily attributable to stronger results outside the U.S., the release of foreign valuation allowances, and the reinstatement of the research and development tax credit.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, MicroStrategy repurchased 309,139 shares of its class A common stock at an average price per share of $88.55 and an aggregate cost of $27.4 million. As of December 31, 2010, MicroStrategy had 7,946,748 shares of class A common stock and 2,694,362 shares of class B common stock outstanding.


General Availability of MicroStrategy 9 Release 3:

The latest release of the MicroStrategy platform, MicroStrategy 9™ Release 3, was made generally available on October 15, 2010. MicroStrategy 9 Release 3 features enhancements that deliver business information significantly faster and make BI easier to use.

MicroStrategy’s highly-visual dashboards display a tremendous amount of information in an easy-to-use and compelling manner. With MicroStrategy 9 Release 3, typical dashboards can contain up to 3 times more data, run up to 2 times faster, and respond to user interactions up to 5 times faster than previously. Performance tests have shown a 4.2MB dashboard reduced in size to 0.8MB, and a dashboard that took 4 seconds to run now runs in 1.3 seconds.

The latest MicroStrategy release accelerates BI performance with new features and functionality. New algorithms automatically detect when a report can use in-memory data sources to deliver reports, analyses, and dashboards up to 6 times faster than previously. In performance tests, a typical report request that took 7.3 seconds is now delivered within 1.2 seconds.

With MicroStrategy 9 Release 3, companies can get new BI reports up and running in less than 30 minutes. The new Data Import capability allows business users to publish personal data from Excel spreadsheets or local databases into the BI system. Once the data is published, users can immediately create reports, charts, and dashboards from the personal data and share them with others. New applications can be set up quickly using pre-designed dashboards and app templates that include layouts, formatting, and analytic workflows. Within minutes, a fully-functioning dashboard or mobile app can be deployed by rewiring the pre-designed dashboard template to the new data.

New MicroStrategy Mobile Enhancements for iPhone® and iPad®:

In November 2010, MicroStrategy announced enhancements to MicroStrategy Mobile™ that enable users to easily extend BI applications to the Apple® iPhone and iPad using a point-and-click interface. MicroStrategy 9 Release 3 includes major enhancements to MicroStrategy Mobile functionality, including:

 

   

Support for iOS4 and Multi-Tasking – MicroStrategy 9 Release 3 is fully certified on Apple’s latest operating system, iOS4. MicroStrategy 9 takes advantage of the iOS4 multi-tasking capability and allows users to resume their BI sessions from exactly where they left off when interrupted by a phone call or other mobile app activity.

 

   

Enhanced Mobile Alerts – MicroStrategy’s new release allows users to set information thresholds in the MicroStrategy system that will trigger mobile alerts. Using Apple’s push notification system, users will receive a notification on their iPhone or iPad whenever business conditions exceed their preset thresholds.

 

   

Richer Information Workflows – With MicroStrategy 9 Release 3, app designers can create sequences of interlinked screens and reports that guide users through a business problem or decision-making process. This new workflow capability conveys information from one screen to the next to maintain business context and improve productivity.

 

   

Improved Collaboration – MicroStrategy 9 Release 3 enhances information sharing and business collaboration for iPad users. Users can e-mail any iPad report or dashboard directly to colleagues.

 

   

New Data Visualizations for Mobile BI – MicroStrategy has introduced new native visualizations for MicroStrategy Mobile that provide a richer BI experience on the iPad and the iPhone. Written in Objective-C, the new MicroStrategy visualizations include animations that provide easier viewing and data interaction. MicroStrategy Mobile now supports RSS feeds on the iPhone, allowing mobile apps to incorporate external data feeds. On the iPad, MicroStrategy Mobile offers three new visualizations: integration with Google™ Maps, animated and interactive time series graphs, and highly compact micro-charts that condense volumes of information into a small screen space.


MicroStrategy’s Latest Software Release Delivers High Performance:

In January 2011, MicroStrategy announced performance benchmark test results for MicroStrategy 9 Release 3. The tests show that an 8-CPU configuration of MicroStrategy Intelligence Server™ can deliver a sustained output power rating of 147 KiloCycles, which equates to 147,000 round-trip queries per hour. This query volume can support more than 26,000 active users with an average user response time of 1.3 seconds. MicroStrategy customers will be able to support up to 6 times greater usage with up to 3 times faster average response time by simply upgrading from MicroStrategy 9.0 to MicroStrategy’s latest release.

The benchmark tests also show that MicroStrategy 9 Release 3 can support more than 100,000 active users while delivering average response times under 2 seconds. In tests, a 4-node clustered configuration of MicroStrategy Intelligence Server containing a total of 32 CPU cores delivered a power rating of 560 KiloCycles, which equates to 560,000 round-trip queries per hour.

MicroStrategy also recently announced that in mobile BI application benchmark tests, MicroStrategy can support approximately 42,000 active iPhone users on an 8-CPU configuration, delivering average response times as fast as 1.6 seconds. This user population equates to approximately 210,000 total users assuming a 20% ratio of active users to total users.
