THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2000 7:45 AM
- BusinessWire

NEW YORK, Sep 28, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mail.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:MAIL), a leading global Messaging Service
Provider to businesses, today announced it will provide its MailWatch(R) e-mail firewall services to Mazda North
American Operations.

The advanced MailWatch(R) solution shields corporations from harmful computer viruses, blocks spam from the
corporate network and filters inappropriate content from e-mail. The agreement takes advantage of Mail.com`s
partnership with Ford Motor Company, which allows all of Ford`s controlled affiliates to utilize Mail.com`s advanced
e-mail solutions.

"At Mazda we know the importance of uncompromising quality and outstanding value," said Vashdev Vangani,
Department Manager at Mazda North American Operations. "Mail.com shares these same principles and they are an
important partner in our mission to create new value, and excite and delight our customers through the best
automotive products and services."

"As a Global Fortune 500 corporation, Mazda can`t be bothered with inappropriate content, slowed down by constant
spam or stopped cold by computer viruses," said Brad Schrader, president of Mail.com Business Messaging
Services. "We`re proud to be offering this world automotive leader our cutting-edge e-mail solutions, and look forward
to enriching our relationship with Mazda and other Ford brands."

An Internet-based, platform-independent e-mail firewall, the MailWatch(R) protection service gives organizations the
ability to establish and enforce policies controlling the use of the corporate e-mail system. It acts as a first line of
defense ensuring infected e-mails do not reach their intended destinations, without the need for client-side software or
hardware. Completely transparent to the user, the service scans inbound and outgoing messages and eliminates the
threat of rogue viruses while they are still on the Internet, preventing suspect e-mails from ever reaching or leaving the
corporate network. Its ease of use, combined with advanced virus protection, filtering capabilities, cost efficiency and
scalability, makes the enhanced MailWatch(R) protection solution a premier choice for e-mail network protection and
control.

EasyLink Expects to Meet 2Q`01 Revenue and Gross Margin Guidance and Exceed EPS Expectations
Provides Guidance for the Future
Reaffirms Expectations to Achieve Breakeven on Operating Income Basis before Depreciation and Amortization in 3Q`01
EDISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2001-- EasyLink Services Corporation (NASDAQ:EASY - news), a leading global provider of outsourced messaging services to enterprises and service providers, today reaffirmed its 2001 second quarter revenue and gross margin guidance and announced it expects to exceed its 2001 second quarter EPS guidance.

The Company anticipates its 2001 second quarter revenue to be approximately $35 million, an increase of 133% over the second quarter of 2000 and a 56% increase over the first quarter of this year. Gross margin for the second quarter is in the 33% range, in line with expectations, as compared to an 8% gross margin in the second quarter of 2000 and a 6% gross margin in the 2001 first quarter. Additionally, EasyLink expects its pro-forma net loss per share, excluding certain non-operating items and other non-cash charges, to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.18, exceeding its previously announced range of $0.20 to $0.24. The Company is achieving operating efficiencies resulting from the integration of AT&T`s EasyLink business and Swift Telecommunications (STI), as well as its internal restructuring programs, faster than previously projected. The Company also expects to report non-cash restructuring and impairment charges for the 2001 second quarter aggregating between $30 and $35 million. These provisions are for excess equipment resulting from the restructuring activities and the migration of its consumer e-mail platforms to a third party and revised valuations on certain investments and businesses, including India.com. The Company had a cash balance of approximately $12 million as of June 30, 2001 as compared to $18 million as of March 31, 2001.

These results are preliminary and are subject to the Company`s management and independent auditors completing their customary review.

During the second quarter, the Company integrated the sales organizations of AT&T EasyLink Services, STI and Mail.com Business Messaging Services, intensively cross-trained them on EasyLink`s expanded offering set and executed a program to introduce the new Company to its customers. Numerous new sales opportunities have already been identified or closed as a result of these efforts.

Guidance for the 2001 third and fourth quarters and full years 2002 and 2003 is as follows:

Revenues are expected to be in the range of $38 million to $42 million for the third quarter of 2001, $42 million to $46 million for the fourth quarter of 2001, $170 million to $185 million for 2002 and $210 million to $225 million for 2003.
Gross margin as a percent of revenues for the messaging business is expected to be in the range of 35% to 38% for the third quarter of 2001, 38% to 42% for the fourth quarter of 2001, the mid-40% range for 2002 and the 50% range for 2003.
Pro-forma EBITDA excluding certain non-operating items and other non-cash charges is expected to be slightly positive for the third quarter of 2001, $3 million to $6 million for the fourth quarter of 2001, greater than $30 million for 2002 and greater than $50 million for 2003.
Pro-forma net income (loss) excluding certain non-operating items and other non-cash charges is expected to be in the range of $(6) million to $(10) million for the third quarter of 2001, less than $(5) million for the fourth quarter of 2001, slightly positive for 2002 and greater than $20 million for 2003.
The Company continues to expect its outsourced messaging business to breakeven on an operating income basis before depreciation and amortization in the third quarter of 2001. To meet this goal, the Company requires additional funds to support payments for existing equipment and other leases, debt service and other obligations. The Company is currently in active negotiations to restructure a portion of its existing debt and certain other obligations and is seeking additional funding. The above expectations for the third and fourth quarters of 2001, and beyond, are subject to the successful completion of this restructuring, raising additional funding and the other factors described below.

EasyLink plans to release actual results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 on Tuesday, August 7, 2001 at 4:00 p.m. EDT. Following the release, Thomas Murawski, Chief Executive Officer, and Debra McClister, Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call and simultaneous Web cast at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the results.
