Miami, Florida - (The Hosting News) - August 15, 2008 - Integrated Tier-1 Internet exchange and managed IT infrastructure solutions provider, Terremark, has released
its financials for the quarter ending June 30, 2008.
Terremark's results were in-line with the high-end of previously announced guidance with total revenues of $56.1 million and EBITDA, as adjusted, of $11.0 million.
Manuel D. Medina, Chairman and CEO of Terremark noted, "We have continued to build on the positive momentum we have generated over the past several quarters, and we are very pleased with the results of the first quarter. Our solid performance is a result of the strong demand for our services being driven by positive industry fundamentals, our differentiated product offerings, and our focus on execution."
Jose Segrera, CFO at Terremark remarked, "We once again delivered excellent quarterly results and strong bookings, which positions us for another successful fiscal year. Additionally, we continue to meet or exceed our goals against the key metrics by which we measure our business success."

The platform has been well received by the marketplace and the Company has secured a number of customers since its launch.
- In Q1, Terremark launched its security operations center, a strategic part of the Company's overall offering, which serves two roles - first to provide basic security services to its existing base of managed hosting customers and secondly to offer higher end data security services to new customers and as an up sell opportunity to existing customers.
