Performance indicators

2021: Revenue - $3.22 billion, net profit - $307.5 million

In 2021, Citrix earned $3.22 billion in revenue, which is slightly more than a year earlier, when sales from the American company amounted to $3.24 billion. Such data were released by the manufacturer of virtualization tools at the end of January 2022.

In the structure of turnover, Citrix's revenues from sales of products and licenses in 2021 amounted to $171.2 million, while in 2020 - $444.4 million. This decline is due to the company's transition to distribution of subscription software.

Income from license renewal and support services (includes regular payments to customers for subscriptions after purchasing licenses) in 2021 turned out to be $1.49 billion, reducing from $1.68 billion in 2020. The company earned $1.56 billion on subscriptions, which is significantly more than the 2020 result of $1.11 billion.

Citrix's net profit in 2021 amounted to $307.5 million, significantly decreasing compared to the previous year's profit of $504.4 million.

The largest market for Citrix's presence remains the Americas, which brought the company 55% of revenue. The second place in terms of income is occupied by the region EMEA (, Europe Middle East,) Africa with a share of 35%. This is followed by the Asia-Pacific region (11%).

In terms of products, the revenue structure is dominated by Workspace solutions (this also includes sales of products by Wrike, which was bought by Citrix), which account for 77% of sales. Products classified as App Delivery and Security provided the manufacturer with 20% of revenue. Professional services brought the company 3% of revenue.

Citrix believes that revenues from the provision of professional services will continue to decline as they switch to a subscription model for software distribution.

Citrix 2020 revenue up 8% thanks to SaaS

Citrix hacked with simple password enumeration

At the end of July 2019, it became known that hackers who hacked Citrix computer systems in 2018 used a simple password-guessing technique. In this case, they went through frequently used weak passwords until one of them worked.

By the end of July 2019, Citrix is supplying products and services to over 400,000 companies worldwide. The vendor is still studying what documents have become available to hackers and is sending out to a "limited number of customers" who may need "additional security measures," Citrix President David Henshall wrote on his blog.

According to the head, a simple enumeration of passwords allowed hackers to gain access to drives from October 2018 to March 2019 and steal corporate files from the Citrix network drive.

Hackers who hacked Citrix computer systems in 2018 used a simple password-guessing technique

Henshall added that cybercriminals could also access individual virtual disks and email accounts of a very limited number of compromised users and run a limited number of internal applications. He refused to answer the question of what these "internal applications" are and what their function is. Henshall also did not say who committed the hack or what the ultimate target of the hackers was. Perhaps this information is still unknown - after all, VPN service providers can be a tidbit for any grouping of attackers who try to penetrate the network of any corporation, CyberScoop reports.

Company representatives also explained what measures they took to protect their data after the hack. All corporate passwords were reset, internal access to the company's data for "non-essential" web services was disabled, and the data itself, especially those leaving the corporate network, began to be monitored more closely.[4]

Hacking the company's network with hackers and stealing up to 10 TB of data

On March 8, 2019, Citrix reported a cyber attack on its computer systems. The company's network was hacked by hackers, a large amount of data was stolen.

Citrix did not disclose detailed information about what happened and only announced the adoption of "measures to eliminate this incident," including conducting a forensic examination, organizing additional protection of its network and involving a third-party consultant.

Hackers hacked Citrix network and stole up to 10 TB of data from the company

The FBI told reporters that unauthorized access to Citrix's internal servers was recorded. According to law enforcement agencies, an international group of cybercriminals could gain access to the company's business documents.

Resecurity International, which specializes in information security, claims that it spoke about the FBI cyber attack and Citrix itself before it was announced publicly. 

According to experts, the attack has become the work of the hacker group IRIDIUM, which may be associated with the Iranian government. The attackers managed to steal 6 to 10 TB of confidential files stored on Citrix servers, including email correspondence, procurement documentation and project management.

The hackers are supposed to have used a tactic called "password spraying": they used weak passwords to gain restricted access and then worked to bypass other security systems.

The incident was identified as part of a complex cyber espionage campaign supported at the state level due to its strong focus on the government, military-industrial complex, energy companies, financial institutions and large enterprises involved in critical areas of the economy, according to the Resources blog.

Resources President Charles Yu, in a conversation with NBC in March 2019, said that hackers could have entered the Citrix network about 10 years ago, and since then they have been "hiding in the company's system."[5]

EMEA Management Changes

On February 27, 2019, Citrix announced a management change in EMEA to optimize support for its customers and partners as they transition to new markets, implement, and manage complex cloud environments.

So, Eric Kline took the position of executive director. In turn, Daren Finney replaced him in his previous position, becoming vice president of partner relations in the EMEA region. In addition, Lee Hughes has been appointed vice president of network technology.

The excessive complexity of cloud technologies and their adaptation to new processes and business models pose a significant challenge for both partners and customers. By focusing on sales, working with partners, and developing our network technology business, Citrix has all the tools it needs to transform the cloud and realize its benefits. I am glad that such professional managers will deal with these issues, which will allow our company to fully and promptly meet the needs of customers, "commented Sherif Seddik, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Citrix in EMEA.

Disruption of plans to privatize the company

In July 2017, it became known about the disruption of Citrix's plans to carry out privatization. The company did not find money for this, which indicates an emerging trend.

Bloomberg reports that Citrix has turned to specialists from investment bank Goldman Sachs Group to find potential buyers. Interest in the company is weak due to its high value and large business, which will force investment funds to pool their resources, which will complicate the deal, its sources told the publication. By August 1, 2017, Citrix's market capitalization is $12 billion.

According to Reuters, several private equity funds (including Bain,  Carlyle Group and Thomas Bravo) have considered acquiring Citrix, but have concluded that the leveraged buyout deal is unlikely to be easy and profitable. As a result, Citrix failed to become a private company.

Citrix wanted to become a private company, but banks refuse to finance such large transactions

Reuters draws attention to the development of a trend in which banks are still reluctant to finance transactions, where the buyback of a controlling stake in an expensive technology company occurs with the attraction of loans.

In confirming this trend, it became known that the manufacturers of corporate POVMS Software and CA Inc. stopped negotiations on the merger, as the companies recognized the inability to persuade banks to extend the term of debt financing by 1.5 years. That is how long, according to BMC management, it will take to close the transaction due to the alleged close interest in it from the antimonopoly authorities.

Citrix owners have previously been looking for buyers. That was in 2015, when the company came under pressure from hedge fund Elliott Management. As a result, Citrix separated from itself and sold part of the assets, as well as reduced staff and changed management.

If Citrix had carried out the planned privatization, then this deal, in which private investors acquire a public company, could have become the largest since the buyout of the manufacturer of hacking alert systems ADT Corp. by the Apollo Global Management fund in 2016, reports Bloomberg. [7]

David Henshell is the new CEO of Citrix

On July 10, 2017, Citrix announced the appointment of David Henshell as the new president and CEO instead of Kirill Tatarinov, a native of Russia, who had been in charge since January 2016. Read more here.

Citrix prepares for sale

American developer of software solutions for cloud computing, computer networks and virtualization Citrix Systems is looking for potential buyers, Bloomberg said in March, citing knowledgeable sources[8]

Several investment funds reportedly explored the possibility of acquiring Citrix, but concluded that this would require leveraging, which would reduce the profits from the transaction. Nevertheless, one of the investors - Thomas Bravo - is still interested in acquiring Citrix.

According to media reports, the owners of Citrix, under pressure from investors, already wanted to sell the company about two years ago, but limited themselves to restructuring, changing management and selling part of the assets. In June 2015, the hedge fund Elliott Management, which at that time owned about 7.5% of Citrix's shares, announced the need to transform the company's business. In particular, the investor insisted on the sale or separation of some assets. A month later, Citrix announced the resignation of head Mark Templeton and the beginning of exploring opportunities for restructuring.

Citrix Fires 1,000 Employees, Separates Part of Its Collaboration Solutions Business

To do this, the vendor is going to cut about 1000 workers, which corresponds to more than 10% of the total staff. Most of the dismissed employees will leave the company in November 2015 and January 2016. The liquidation of working positions is not related to the separation of the GoTo product line, Citrix explained.

"We simplify the business in all areas such as products, marketing, sales, operations and development," said interim Citrix CEO Bob Calderoni.

Due to the announced transformations, the company hopes to save about $200 million annually. However, first she will have to spend from $65 million to $85 million on benefits for reduced employees and other goals related to layoffs.

In June 2015, Elliott Management, a hedge fund known for buying securities from IT companies and then pressuring their management to increase the shareholder value of the business, called on Citrix to sell assets and cut costs. A month later, the software manufacturer announced the start of studying strategic options regarding the future work of the company.

Reuters, citing its sources, reported that Citrix management is in a hurry to sell the entire company instead of crushing it and selling it in parts.
