TERREMARK WORLDWIDE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

NAP of the Americas Revenues Increased 18% Over Prior Quarter

MIAMI, FL (February 17, 2004) – Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (AMEX:TWW), a leading operator of integrated Tier-1 Network Access points (NAPs) and best-in-class network services, today reported its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2003.

Terremark’s consolidated revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $4.9 million compared to approximately $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an increase of 23%. Data Center revenue generated by the NAP of the Americas increased 18% to approximately $4.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 from approximately $3.9 million the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Data Center revenue for quarter ended December 31, 2003 increased by approximately $2.0 million or 77% over the quarter ended December 31, 2002. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of an increase in our deployed customer base from 63 customers as of December 30, 2002 to 133 customers as of December 31, 2003, including agencies of the U.S. Federal Government. Total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 increased 75%, to $4.9 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2002.

Loss from operations was $4.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 compared to a loss of $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in the operating loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 was primarily attributable to certain non-cash stock based compensation charges of approximately $2.0 million recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Additional information regarding the Company’s financial performance and liquidity as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and a comparison of the financial performance for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 can be found on the attached balance sheet and statement of operations and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
