Overview of 1Q17 Financial Results and Business Outlook

"We started 1Q17 with strong year over year revenue growth of 13.2%. The operating income also increased 34.4% year over year. This good start reflects continuous recurring revenue growth we've been accumulating from the last fiscal year," said Eijiro Katsu, COO and President of IIJ.

"1Q17 monthly recurring revenues, which were 85.1% of 1Q17 total revenue, increased 3.2% quarter over quarter and 13.3% year over year. With an accumulation of many transactions, network, cloud, security, mobile, WAN and all these monthly recurring revenues accomplished a favorable start, overall. We also had local governments' "Information Security Cloud" projects, in which we provide Internet connectivity, cloud, security, data center, and SI, which contributed to the quarter over quarter revenue growth. Gross margin amount increased for both network services and systems integration which absorbed the increase in operating costs and made the overall operating income increase," continued Katsu.

"Japan is approaching towards a network-based society and IoT should be a key theme. As examples, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishers has chosen us for a feasibility study on paddy water control management system. We also co-work with a prominent Japanese housing corporation and an electric power company on low-carbon housing system by incorporating IoT-based air-conditioning systems combined with weather forecast data. We've been involved in these kinds of IoT-related discussions, received from Japanese companies. We expect to play an important role with our technology and wide range of services we've accumulated towards a forthcoming connected society in the middle to long term," said Koichi Suzuki, Founder, CEO and Chairman of IIJ.
