“We are expanding into fast growing, adjacent markets, all fueled by three powerful forces – the need for mobility, the enterprise cloud evolution, and the build-out of hosted cloud services.”

Revenue and Expense Reclassifications
During the first quarter of 2012, Citrix reviewed the revenue categories presented in its consolidated statements of income and adopted a revised presentation that is more comparable to those presented by other companies in Citrix’s industry and better reflects the company’s evolving product and service offerings. As a result, technical support, hardware maintenance and software updates revenues, which were previously presented in Technical Services and License Updates are now classified together as License Updates and Maintenance. A corresponding change was made to rename Cost of Services Revenues to Cost of Services and Maintenance Revenues; however, there was no change in classification. Product training, certification and consulting services, which were previously presented in Technical Services, are now classified together as Professional Services. Product Licenses has been renamed to Product and Licenses to more appropriately describe its composition of both software and hardware; however, there was no change in the composition of total net revenue. The classification of Software as a service remains unchanged. These changes in presentation do not affect total net revenues, total cost of net revenues or gross margin.
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2012, Citrix revised its methodology for allocating certain IT support costs to more closely align those costs with the employees directly utilizing the related assets and services and to reflect how management assesses the cost of headcount. As a result, certain IT support costs were reclassified from general and administrative expenses to cost of services and maintenance revenues, research and development expenses and sales, marketing and services expenses based on the headcount in each of these functional areas.
For additional information concerning these changes in the presentation of Citrix’s consolidated statements of income, see the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 accompanying this release.
