Zip Products
Iomega’s Zip products have been our dominant contributor to revenue and profits since their introduction nine years ago. We have shipped over 50 million Zip drives and over 300 million Zip disks during this time. Zip products have enjoyed a tremendous record of success and a remarkably long life cycle for the technology industry. Although Iomega has regularly improved Zip performance and capacity for its customers in government, education, and in the broader business market, the mature Zip platform is reaching the end of its life cycle. As such, in 2003, Zip products continued to lose ground to optical drives, external hard drives, flash drives and other storage alternatives. Despite this, the Zip product line continues to generate positive cash flow to fund our other initiatives and it is expected to remain profitable through 2004 and potentially beyond. - Zip製品出荷データ1998-2003

Wikipediaにおける1999年のZipドライブの上記出荷数値は、2003アニュアルレポート(pdf版p.19,ドライブの単位千台、ディスクの単位千枚)の下記数値9,691と10万台だけ違っている。1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Drives 9,691 6,997 5,223 4,049 2,221 Disks 64,417 54,786 34,421 27,835 14,514
Thus, the Zip product segment remains the Company’s only consistently profitable segment. In light of the inevitable decline of the Zip business, the Company will not be viable unless it generates significant PPM from products other than Zip products. REV products currently represent the Company’s most realistic opportunity to develop a significant PPM stream which could at least partially offset the rapidly-declining Zip PPM. Management expects to continue to invest significant resources with the goal to increase REV product sales. It is unlikely that the Company will be able to operate profitably unless and until REV products generate significant positive PPM. However, the Company can provide no assurance that the REV business will generate PPM sufficient to offset declining Zip PPM.”
