Overview of 3Q17 Financial Results and Business Outlook

            “To launch cryptocurrency exchange and settlement business, we established an equity method investee by partnering with prominent Japanese companies from various industries: Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Daiwa Securities Group, Nomura Holdings, Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company, Nippon Life Insurance Company, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company, Sompo Holdings, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Company, East Japan Railway Company, ITOCHU Corporation, ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation, K-Opticom Corporation, QTnet, Bic Camera, DENTSU, Mitsui Fudosan, and Yamato Holdings. DeCurret, IIJ’s 35% equity method investee with capital of JPY5.23 billion,2 will offer BtoC cryptocurrency exchange services from the latter half of FY2018 and BtoBtoC and BtoC cryptocurrency settlement services from FY2019. Based on our existing ASP FX trading system, which has been used by thirteen major Japanese financial institutions, DeCurret should be able to develop highly reliable and scalable cryptocurrency exchange system and services, incorporating Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) and other necessary and critical security requirements.3 We see a great growth opportunity in settlement business as conventional financial infrastructure needs to be changed dramatically, especially in Japan where cash is a predominantly major payment method.4 We’re very excited about working together with so many outstanding Japanese companies to create a new standard for cryptocurrency settlements which is thought to be a new social infrastructure,” said Koichi Suzuki, Founder, CEO and Chairman of IIJ.            “As for the three months financial results, revenue and operating income increased year over year by 13.0% and 20.9% respectively. Network services, especially security-related services, which was supported by the strong demands, and mobile services, led the revenue growth. Accordingly with our mobile business growth strategy, our enterprise mobile revenue strongly grew by 45.2% year over year as MVNE and IoT/M2M transactions continued to expand. SI revenue increased by 8.6% YoY as we continued to accumulate projects. Operating income grew as gross margin of both network services and SI expanded by 13.6% and 13.0% year over year,” said Eijiro Katsu, COO and President of IIJ.             “We decided to build our own data center and we’ve acquired the land of approximately 40 thousand m2.5 The main purpose is to integrate our racks that are currently spread out in the metropolitan area’s data centers for more effective operation. The new data center, which ultimately can accommodate up to 6,000 racks, allows gradual expansion of capacity as we’ll place system module-based data centers developed from our container-based data center technology accumulated from our Matsue Data Center Park since 2011. We estimate the future data center facility cost should be approximately 20% lower by having our own data center than continuously expanding leasing space. We’ll also ensure business expansion scalability for the future by having this new data center,” concluded Katsu.            “We continuously enhance our existing business such as cloud, mobile, security and SI, and we’re also making further business developments like FinTech project this time. Our invisible yet very essential business assets such as Internet technology, network and system infrastructure, SI expertise, brand of reliability, and long-term relationship with prominent Japanese blue-chips let us develop and expand our business foundation. We shall continue to pursue these strategies going forward,” concluded Katsu.
