LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
Digital River marketForce strategic marketing services – We intend to continue to drive incremental revenue for
our company and clients on a global basis through our marketForce strategic marketing services. These services
are designed to help our clients attract and retain customers, and maximize lifetime value.
Acquisitions – Historically, Digital River has been an acquisitive company. After more than 20 acquisitions, we have
demonstrated our ability to successfully integrate diverse cultures, technologies and infrastructures. Moving forward,
we will continue to pursue acquisitions that enhance our technologies, expand our geographical footprint, and
open new and complementary markets.
Finally, we intend to continue investing in and expanding our global e-commerce infrastructure and capabilities. Today,
our world-class platform is supported by eight data centers in the United States and abroad.
Doing What We Do Best
A decade ago, we set out on a mission to become a leading provider of global e-commerce services. Today, we are
living our mission. As we close 2005, we want to say thank you to our clients, employees and shareholders for your
ongoing support. We see even greater opportunity for Digital River in 2006 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Joel A. Ronning
