CyberDefender Announces Customer Acquisition Milestone; On Track to Reach Cash Flow Positive in Q4 2009

"By executing on our growth plan, while scaling our operations to match demand, we believe we are in a position to be cash flow positive by the end of 2009," said CyberDefender CFO Kevin Harris. "We are pleased with the growth of our customer base, and believe this rapid growth validates the value of our product and the efficacy of our multi-channel marketing strategy."

Through a global peer-to-peer network, CyberDefender's continuous cycle of technology innovation and minute-by-minute monitoring of global threats fuels the growth of new subscribers. As a result, the company reported 400 percent annual revenue growth from the end of the second quarter 2008 to the end of the second quarter 2009, and the second quarter 2009 was the company's sixth consecutive quarter of growth. Additionally, the company has strong renewal rates at over 40% and growing.

"By leveraging a number of new partnerships and distribution channels, we are working aggressively to continue to grow the number of paying subscribers to one million, increase our renewal rates and drive up average revenue per customer. We believe we are taking all the right steps to achieve our longer-term goal of reaching profitability," Harris concluded.
