RSA Security Announces First Quarter Results
Company generates record quarterly revenue of $87.5 million; growth in enterprise, consumer and developer businesses
drives sequential increase in backlog and deferred revenue
SYDNEY: April 18, 2006 – RSA Security Inc. (NASDAQ: RSAS) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2006.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2006 increased 16 percent to $87.5 million from $75.6 million for the first quarter of
2005. Net income in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of 2006 was
$5.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. GAAP net income of $7.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the
comparable period a year ago, did not include stock-based compensation charges. Non-AAP net income for the first quarter
of 2006 was $10.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.
“The first quarter of 2006 was a record quarter for RSA Security. In addition to generating the highest ever quarterly
revenue in the Company’s history, we had our best ever first quarter in terms of bookings,” said Art Coviello, president
and chief executive officer of RSA Security. “We built on our strong fourth quarter results in the enterprise and
consumer businesses, and we generated significant traction from the successful integration of the Cyota acquisition.
With increasing awareness and global regulation driving the continued adoption of strong authentication, I am excited
about our prospects for the year to come.”
First-Quarter 2006 Financial Highlights
Revenue and Bookings: RSA Security generated $87.5 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2006, compared to $75.6
million in revenue for the first quarter of 2005. RSA Security’s book-to-bill ratio for the first quarter was
approximately 1.1 to 1, compared to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0 to 1 during the first quarter of 2005.
Net Income: For the first quarter of 2006, the Company generated GAAP net income of $5.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted
share, and non-GAAP net income of $10.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.
Backlog, Deferred Revenue and Estimated Unrecognised Revenue from Managed Service Contracts: The Company closed the
quarter with $119.1 million in combined deferred revenue, backlog and estimated unrecognised revenue from managed
service contracts, an 8 percent increase from the $110.8 million balance at December 31, 2005.
Cash Position and Share Repurchase: Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities increased to $208.2 million at
March 31, 2006 from $187.8 million at December 31, 2005. During the quarter, in accordance with the Company’s approved
stock buyback plan, RSA Security repurchased 82,300 shares of its common stock for $1.2 million. Under the board
approved share repurchase plan, RSA Security can repurchase an additional 6.4 million shares of RSA Security common
stock through June 30, 2006.
First Quarter 2006 Operational Highlights
Customers: RSA Security closed business with more than 6,000 customers in the first quarter, including approximately 800
new customers. The Company shipped over 1.7 million authentication credentials during the first quarter, up 11 percent
from the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company’s previous record quarter for credential shipments. Of the authentication
credentials shipped during the quarter, approximately 620,000 credentials were consumer related.
Partners: RSA Security introduced a strategy to enable ubiquitous strong authentication by integrating RSA SecurID
authentication into everyday devices and software such as mobile phones, PDAs, USB thumb drives and mobile flash memory
cards. By transforming these devices into strong authentication platforms, RSA SecurID authentication can move beyond
self-contained hardware tokens to an unprecedented array of devices. In the first quarter of 2006, RSA Security
announced relationships with several flagship partners including M-Systems, Motorola, SanDisk, Research in Motion (RIM)
and others.
Products and Solutions: In February, RSA Security announced RSA SecurID Appliance 2.0, which scales to 50,000 users,
making it possible to meet the demands of enterprise customers seeking an appliance-based solution. During the first
quarter the Company sold approximately 300 RSA SecurID Appliances, of which 50 percent were to new customers. Since the
appliance can be deployed in as few as 15 minutes, with few IT resources, it is becoming a significant driver of growth
in the capture of new customers.
The Company also launched the RSA SecurID Toolbar Token, an easy-to-use strong authentication option delivered in the
familiar Web browser toolbar format. With the toolbar, users navigate to the Web site protected by RSA SecurID
technology, and then utilise the token code appearing in the toolbar, offering consumer-facing organisations a simple
way to arm their customers with stronger protection online.
Industry Leadership: RSA Security hosted the 15th annual RSA Conference in San Jose in February. This industry-leading
conference drew scores of exhibitors and over 14,000 attendees, with full conference attendance up over 10 percent from
the prior year. Keynote speakers included industry leaders such as John Chambers, president and chief executive officer,
Cisco Systems; Bill Gates, chairman of the board and chief software architect, Microsoft Corp.; Scott McNealy, chairman
and chief executive officer, Sun Microsystems; and John Thompson, chairman of the board and chief executive officer,
Symantec Corporation.
Additional conferences to be held during the year include RSA Conference Japan, in Tokyo April 26 and 27, RSA Conference
China, in Beijing in November and RSA Conference Europe in Nice, France October 23 through October 25. For more

• Amortisation charges of intangible assets primarily associated with our acquisition of Cyota of $1.3 million, or
$(0.01) per diluted share.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company is providing non-GAAP financial measures as the Company believes that these figures are helpful in allowing
investors to more accurately assess the ongoing nature of RSA Security’s core operations. Further, management from time
to time provides guidance with regard to future expectations of the business; both these GAAP and non-GAAP measures will
assist investors in reconciling this forward looking guidance to actual results. Additionally, the Company is providing
GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to illustrate the impact of recent changes in accounting regulations, and to assist
investors with the comparison of current and prior period results.
The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP
measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it important to make these same metrics available to
investors.
GAAP earnings per share for the first quarter of 2006 include pre-tax charges as follows: a restructuring charge of $2.6
million related to the Company’s previously announced restructuring of its engineering resources, stock based
compensation charges of $2.8 million related to the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (SFAS 123R) and $1.3 million of amortisation of intangible assets primarily related to
intangible assets acquired as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Cyota.
