(Nasdaq: IIJI, Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section: 3774) ("IIJ"), one of Japan's leading Internet-access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 ("FY2006").(1) Highlights of Third Quarter FY2006 Results -- Revenue totaled JPY 13,587 million ($114.2 million), an increase of 14.5% from 3Q05. -- Operating income was JPY 986 million ($8.3 million), an increase of 42.7% from 3Q05. -- Net income was JPY 1,405 million ($11.8 million), an increase of 18.2% from 3Q05. Target for FY2006(2) -- IIJ revised its targets for FY2006 that were announced on November 2, 2006. The revised targets are JPY 56.5 billion for revenues, JPY 3.4 billion for operating income, JPY 5.2 billion for income before income tax expense (benefit)(3) and JPY 5.2 billion for net income. -- As announced today, we plan to pay an annual cash dividend of JPY 1,500 per one share of common stock for FY2006. Overview of 3rd Quarter of FY2006 Financial Results and Business Outlook(2) "Our financial results continued to be very favorable this quarter," said Koichi Suzuki, President and CEO of IIJ. "This was largely due to continued increasing demand from our corporate customers for outsourcing services and systems integration. Corporate customers are expanding their use of Internet Protocol in their information systems and have been more willing to invest in their information systems to increase their competitiveness. To capture the demand, we have been developing products based on our high engineering skills and enhancing our solutions line-up. We started to provide services such as "IIJ Secure MX Service" and "IIJ Managed Firewall" this quarter. "IIJ Secure MX Service" is a service that provides comprehensive e-mail security functions for corporate risk management, such as anti-spam, the recording of all incoming and outgoing e-mails, the encryption of e-mail connections and the provision of on-line storage. We have received many orders and inquiries for this service since we introduced it last October and currently we provide our anti-spam solutions to over 200,000 e-mail accounts. We are also actively involved in research and development activities, such as a pilot program for broadcasting high quality video content of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) to realize a content distribution platform. We also take part in various projects to develop safer, more secure and more effective usage of the Internet, such as the "Secure Service Platform", a technology to realize a safer and more secure Internet environment, and the international logistics pilot program using RFID." "Today, we also announced that we plan to pay an annual cash dividend for FY2006, subject to an approval by our general shareholders' meeting," continued Suzuki. "The payment of dividends will be the first time since our establishment, and we continue to make efforts to pay dividends to our shareholders while simultaneously enhancing our financial position, enhancing our business in the mid and long-term and retaining earnings for new business development (please refer to the press release that we made today for the details)." "In consideration of our achievements through the third quarter, we revised our target for our financial results for FY2006 favorably," said Akihisa Watai, CFO of IIJ. "We believe that the increase in value-added services and systems integration revenues will continue to contribute to continued growth in revenues and income." 3rd Quarter FY2006 Financial Results ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating Results Summary (JPY in millions) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- YoY % 3Q06 3Q05 change ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues 13,587 11,870 14.5% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Costs 10,727 9,652 11.1% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SG&A Expenses and R&D 1,874 1,527 22.7% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating Income 986 691 42.7% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Income before Income Tax Expense 1,603 1,333 20.3% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income 1,405 1,189 18.2% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues Revenues in 3Q06 totaled JPY 13,587 million, an increase of 14.5% from JPY 11,870 million in 3Q05.

Total contracted bandwidth increased by 185.5 Gbps to 260.0 Gbps compared to 3Q05. Dedicated access service revenues were JPY 2,703 million, an increase of 4.8% compared to 3Q05.

Dial-up access service revenues were JPY 604 million in 3Q06, a decrease of 6.6% compared to 3Q05, mainly due to a decrease in revenues from services for individual customers, such as IIJ4U.

Analysis by Service 1) Connectivity and VAS Dedicated access service revenues have been in the increasing trend in quarterly (3 months) comparison. However, the revenue decreased by 0.2% to JPY 8,006 million mainly related to a decrease by JPY 468 million in interconnection revenues between IIJ's network and Asia Internet Holding Co., Ltd. ("AIH"), IIJ's former equity method investee, because AIH merged into IIJ. The increase in the number of new contracts and contracted bandwidth for IP Service are the main factors for the increasing trend. Dial-up access service revenues were JPY 1,817 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 10.4% compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenues from services for individual customers, such as IIJ4U, as well as the discontinuance of services of a large customer to which IIJ provided its services as OEM. VAS revenues were JPY 5,508 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 22.5% compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The increase was due to an increase in revenues from various types of services, such as e-mail, security and network-related outsourcing services and data center services, though there was a factor to decrease the revenues on quarter over quarter comparison, such as a merger between IIJ's major customers (in October). Other revenues were JPY 2,789 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 1.4% compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005. As a result, revenues from connectivity and VAS for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were JPY 18,120 million, an increase of 4.3% compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The gross margin of connectivity and VAS was JPY 2,723 million, an increase of 14.1% compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and the gross margin ratio was 15.0%.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, revenues increased stably in each of connectivity and value-added services and systems integration. The IIJ Group's consolidated financial results tend to fluctuate greatly in the fourth quarter when many companies in Japan have their fiscal year end. Revenues will exceed the previously announced target mainly due to the higher revenues from connectivity and value-added services and systems integration. Income before income tax expense (benefit) and net income will exceed the previously announced target along with an increase in operating income.
