continue to generate revenue from our Application Virtualization products will depend on market acceptance of
Windows Server Operating Systems and/or UNIX Operating Systems. Declines and variability in demand for our
Application Virtualization products could occur as a result of:
• new competitive product releases and updates to existing products;
• termination of our product offerings and enhancements;
• potential market saturation;
• technological change;
• general economic conditions; or
• lack of success of entities with which we have a technology relationship.
If our customers do not continue to purchase our Application Virtualization products as a result of these or
other factors, our revenue would decrease and our results of operations and financial condition would be
adversely affected. In addition, modification or termination of certain of our Application Virtualization products
may cause variability in our revenue and make it difficult to predict our revenue growth and trends in our
Application Virtualization products as our customers adjust their purchasing decisions in response to such events.
If we do not develop new products and services or enhancements to our existing products and services, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
The markets for our products and services are characterized by:
• rapid technological change;
• evolving industry standards;
• fluctuations in customer demand;
• changes in customer requirements; and
• frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements.
Our future success depends on our ability to continually enhance our current products and services and
develop and introduce new products and services that our customers choose to buy. If we are unable to keep pace
with technological developments and customer demands by introducing new products and services and
enhancements, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Our future
success could be hindered by:
• delays in our introduction of new products and services;
• delays in market acceptance of new products and services or new releases of our current products and
services; and
• our, or a competitor’s, announcement of new product or service enhancements or technologies that
could replace or shorten the life cycle of our existing product and service offerings.
For example, we cannot guarantee that our Citrix Delivery Center and Online Services products will achieve
the broad market acceptance by our channel partners and entities with which we have a technology relationship,
customers and prospective customers necessary to generate significant revenue. In addition, we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or new product announcements by others. If
we experience material delays or sales shortfalls with respect to our new products and services or new releases of
our current products and services, those delays or shortfalls could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
