During the third quarter of 2003/2004, Mandriva produced a consolidated revenue of 1.50 M€ and a gross margin of 1.25 M€, a respective increase of 39.1% and 66.7% compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. The gross margin is the highest on record, and quarter by quarter there is an acceleration in its rate of growth (Q1 +29.8%, Q2 47.7%, Q3 +66.7%)

During the quarter, the company registered an operating income of 0.17 M€ (0.04 € per share) compared to an operating loss of 0.47 M€ during the same period of the previous fiscal year. The net income increased to 0.19M€ (0.04 € per share) compared to a net loss of 0.37 M€ during the previous fiscal year

Both the growth in sales and the improvement in gross margin are largely attributable to progress in e-commerce, licensing and the Mandriva Linux Users Club, which together now represent 76% of sales compared to 64% for the prior year comparable period.

These results validate the company's strategy of strong growth while maintaining profitability. The company now believes the objective of positive net income for fiscal year 2003/04 to be conservative.

These financial results do not include the acquisition in progress of the company Edge-IT, which is expected to contribute to future revenue.
