Trend Micro Reports Results for Q4 and Fiscal Year 2015
TOKYO, Feb. 18, 2016 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TSE: 4704), a global leader in security software
and solutions, today announced earnings results for the fourth quarter and consolidated revenue for
fiscal year 2015, ending Dec. 31, 2015.
For the fourth quarter, Trend Micro posted consolidated net sales of 32,718 million Yen (or US $269
million, 121.53 JPY = 1USD). The company posted operating income of 6,855 million Yen (or US $56
million) and net income of 4,290 million Yen (or US $35 million) for the quarter.
For 2015, Trend Micro posted consolidated net sales of 124,317 million Yen (or US $1,026 million,
121.13 JPY=1USD). The company also reported operating income of 30,976 million Yen (or US $255
million) and net income of 21,435 million Yen (or US $176 million).
Based on information currently available to the company, consolidated net sales for the year ending
December 31, 2016 is expected to be 138,800 million Yen (or US $1,166 million, based on an exchange
rate of 119 JPY = 1USD). Operating income and net income are expected to be 27,300 million Yen (or
US $229 million) and 18,700 million Yen (or US $157 million), respectively.
Growth rate figures are calculated from Japanese Yen results. Some discrepancy may therefore be noted
in US Dollar comparisons owing to fluctuations in currency conversion rates.
“With our acquisition of HP TippingPoint in the fourth quarter, we are able to combine intrusion
prevention and breach detection while creating a multi-faceted approach to contain sophisticated
attacks,” said Eva Chen, CEO, Trend Micro. “This will further reinforce Trend Micro as the clear
enterprise security provider, addressing targeted attacks and advanced threats from networks and
datacenters to the cloud and endpoints. Overall, our growth in 2015 is a true testament of Trend Micro’ s
overall strength and place in the industry.”
