MicroStrategy Announces

Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Record $141.7 Million in Total Revenues

TYSONS CORNER, Va., October 31, 2011 - MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 (the third quarter of its 2011 fiscal year).

Third quarter 2011 revenues were $141.7 million, the highest quarterly total revenues in Company history, versus $114.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, a 24% increase. Product licenses revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $39.3 million versus $32.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, a 22% increase. Product support and other services revenues for MicroStrategy’s core business intelligence (BI) business in the third quarter of 2011 were $96.6 million versus $77.8 million for the third quarter of 2010, a 24% increase.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $103.5 million versus $77.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, a 34% increase. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased headcount and related expenses, particularly for engineering and sales personnel.

Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $4.9 million, or $0.44 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.63 per share on a diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2010. Third quarter 2011 net income included a $3.4 million pre-tax gain on the sale of an equity investment.

For the third quarter of 2011, MicroStrategy’s effective tax rate was 17% compared to 10% for the third quarter of 2010. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to certain discrete adjustments that were recorded in the third quarter of 2010, partially offset by stronger results outside the U.S. in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, MicroStrategy had cash and cash equivalents of $186.3 million versus $174.1 million as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $12.2 million. As of September 30, 2011, MicroStrategy had 8,268,079 shares of class A common stock and 2,492,830 shares of class B common stock outstanding.

MicroStrategy Expands Launch of New Mobile, Cloud and Social Media Technologies:

In September 2011, MicroStrategy unveiled several new technologies.


   

MicroStrategy announced the release of Cloud Personal™, a free cloud-based business intelligence service. Cloud Personal combines the Company’s latest technology innovations – MicroStrategy Cloud™, MicroStrategy Visual Insight™, and MicroStrategy Mobile™ – enabling users to easily upload data to the MicroStrategy Cloud, analyze it via rich visualizations, and share powerful insights with colleagues or friends as a mobile application or web browser dashboard.

 

   

MicroStrategy introduced Wisdom™ for Facebook, a free application that is now available worldwide for both the iPhone® and iPad® on the Apple® iTunes® App Store, as well as in a web-based Facebook app format. Wisdom organizes your Facebook content and provides insights into your network of Facebook friends, so you do not have to contend with information overload and can easily learn from the collective experience of your friends.

 

   

MicroStrategy also introduced MicroStrategy Wisdom™, a cloud-based application that injects social intelligence into the Facebook applications of corporations.

 

   

MicroStrategy additionally announced Emma™, a new marketplace for Facebook users. Emma enhances the concept of free classifieds by attaching Facebook credentials to classified listings. Because everyone in the Emma community has a Facebook profile, they can trade with more confidence, whether they are buying or selling products and services or engaging in social transactions such as finding a roommate or rideshare.

The launch of these new offerings followed the release in July 2011 of several other innovative MicroStrategy technologies designed to enable companies to capitalize on the big data, mobile, cloud, and social media trends that are transforming the way commerce is conducted.

 

   

The Company announced the general availability of MicroStrategy 9.2.1. This latest release of the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform™ features a new product, MicroStrategy Transaction Services™, which allows users to initiate actions and transactions from a mobile device. MicroStrategy Transaction Services helps companies increase the speed and productivity of their businesses by building mobile apps that connect to back-end transactional systems and databases.

 

   

MicroStrategy also announced the general availability of MicroStrategy Cloud™, a cloud-based platform-as-a-service. MicroStrategy Cloud enables rapid, cost-effective development of business intelligence and mobile and social apps. Compared to traditional on-premises BI approaches, MicroStrategy Cloud is faster to deploy, delivers world-class performance, and offers significant financial advantages.

 

   

The Company introduced Gateway for Facebook, a new cloud-based service that can interconnect enterprise IT environments and enterprise applications with the Facebook social graph. Gateway for Facebook converts the Facebook social graph data structure into a tabular data structure, making it easier for enterprise applications like CRM, marketing, service, sales, loyalty, and mobile applications to be personalized using data from Facebook.

 

   

In connection with the Gateway for Facebook launch, MicroStrategy also introduced Alert, a mobile Facebook application that gives Facebook users a new way to follow all of their favorite celebrity and brand Facebook pages. Alert presents users with a consolidated view of the news, events, photos, and videos from their favorite pages, while allowing users to organize those pages into customized groups.
