Cyberguard Corp. Reports Record Third Quarter Revenue
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 1996--CyberGuard Corp.
(NASDAQ:CYBG), a leading supplier of network security solutions, Thursday
announced it will post record third quarter revenues, with approximately $2.9
million in sales for the quarter ending June 30, 1996, compared to $430,000 in
sales for the quarter ending June 30, 1995.
This represents the fourth consecutive quarter that the company has
experienced strong quarterly revenue growth.
CyberGuard's third quarter performance was attributable to increased leads and
shipments, increased distribution channels worldwide and further penetration of
targeted vertical markets. CyberGuard's firewall unit shipment increased by more
than 50 percent, with 94 firewall systems sold during the quarter ended June 30,
1996, compared to 63 in the prior quarter of 1996. Bookings for the current
quarter were $3.3 million. The company will issue a complete earnings release in
mid-August.
CyberGuard Corp. continued to expand its presence in the international security
market during the third quarter. International sales accounted for more than 40
percent of the company's third quarter overall sales. The Asia-Pacific Region was
especially strong, where Japan and Korea lead the way as the Internet and
intranets continue to become a major element of business. CyberGuard also
entered the Australian network security market through a strategic distribution
partnership with QPSX Communications Pty Ltd., a leading provider of
telecommuncations services in Australia, and a subsidiary of Telstra Corp.
Value-added resellers and manufacturers representatives contributed more than
45 percent to third quarter 1996 revenue. Approximately 26 percent of the
current quarter's revenue came from two major resellers: Nissin Electric (a
CyberGuard Firewall(tm) master distributor in Japan) and Electronic Data
Systems (USA).
Bob Carberry, chairman, president and chief executive officer of CyberGuard
Corp., noted: "We are extremely pleased with this quarter's results, especially in
the international market. We are also very pleased to see revenue generation
from customers implementing the CyberGuard Firewall for intranet applications.
We plan to continue our growth path as we focus on enterprise-wide Internet and
intranet security solutions."

Harris Computer Systems Corp. The company changed its name in late June
when it finalized the sale of its real-time assets to Concurrent Computer Corp.
