Independent Testing Shows Blue Coat WebFilter As the Most Comprehensive URL Filtering Database

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blue Coat(R) Systems, Inc. , a leading provider of proxy appliances, today announced that independent testing conducted by Broadband Testing (Moux, France) shows Blue Coat WebFilter as the most comprehensive URL filtering database, in a comparison of leading databases that includes Blue Coat WebFilter, Websense, Secure Computing SmartFilter, SurfControl, and CyberGuard Webwasher.

The test results, available as a download from http://www.broadband-testing.co.uk/, showed the Blue Coat WebFilter database outperforming its competitors by up to 62% in website coverage. The testing compared URL filtering databases against a list of 2 million URLs to determine which database possessed the most comprehensive listing of websites, in key categories such as pornography, gambling and spyware. URL filtering databases are typically incorporated into proxy appliances, firewalls and other network infrastructure equipment to restrict corporate users` access to unwanted sites.

"Blue Coat WebFilter is by far the most comprehensive filtering database in the test," said Steve Broadhead, director of Broadband Testing. "We compared all the leading URL databases and Blue Coat finished well ahead of its competitors. Each database supplier goes about finding and updating its URL lists differently, but it seems that Blue Coat`s methodology is clearly superior currently."

"The dynamic nature of the Internet requires a URL filtering database that can keep with the constantly changing stream of web addresses," said Steve Mullaney, vice president of marketing for Blue Coat. "WebFilter uses our unique Dynamic Real-Time Rating technology to classify websites `on the fly` for those URLs that are not already categorized within the on-proxy database. No other database has that capability."

Blue Coat bringt Zahlen fürs 2. Quartal 2005:


Blue Coat Reports Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2006

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blue Coat(R) Systems, Inc. , a leading provider of proxy appliances, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter of 2006 ended July 31, 2005. Net revenue for the first quarter was $33.4 million, an increase of 58.0% compared to net revenue of $21.1 million for the same quarter last year and an increase of 17.6% compared to net revenue of $28.4 million in the prior quarter.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $3.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year and net income of $2.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior quarter. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 includes a benefit of $0.1 million from the reversal of restructuring reserves and a net benefit of approximately $0.7 million from the reversal of stock compensation expense initially recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

On a non-GAAP basis the Company reported net income of $3.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to non- GAAP net income of $2.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year and non-GAAP net income of $2.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior quarter.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the amortization of intangible assets, and for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 also exclude the benefits associated with the aforementioned reversal of restructuring reserves and stock compensation expense.

Blue Coat ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and restricted investments totaling $55.2 million, an increase of $6.1 million from the prior quarter.

"We continue to be pleased with the market acceptance of the solutions that Blue Coat provides as evidenced by the stronger than expected sequential growth in net revenue," said Brian NeSmith, president and CEO of Blue Coat. "While we expect demand for Blue Coat products to remain strong, sequential growth is not expected to continue at the level realized in our most recent quarter. We will continue to focus on expanding our market presence and making appropriate investments in our infrastructure to address the growing market demand."
