Akamai Provides Streaming Media Infrastructure for WebFN.com 2.0; Financial News Network Provides Optimal Experiences for Viewers Via Akamai`s Distributed Computing Platform

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2002--Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), a leading provider of secure, outsourced e-business infrastructure services and software, and WebFN (www.webfn.com), the Internet`s leading 24/7 streaming financial news and information network, today announced that Akamai is providing WebFN with streaming media services and historical usage reporting tools for the network`s re-launch of WebFN.com.

The relationship between the companies positions Akamai as WebFN`s exclusive streaming media infrastructure provider. Through the agreement, WebFN has outsourced its streaming media delivery and storage needs to Akamai, including its live, on-demand and customized financial news programming. Akamai`s massively distributed global platform enables WebFN viewers to receive financial news programming from the network`s revamped streaming financial news web site, and its licensing clients` sites, with enhanced quality and reliability.

Through Akamai`s integrated reporting tools, WebFN is able to effectively measure the success of its programming and better understand its visitors and their interests. This business insight allows WebFN to refine its value proposition and enhance its customers` online experience, demonstrated in WebFN.com`s new presentation and enhanced financial research capabilities. WebFN`s daily viewership average has increased more than 200 percent since the companies began doing business in April 2001.

"In addition to providing high-quality media experiences, a major challenge facing the streaming media industry is the ability to achieve a more thorough and empirical form of measurement," said Bob Reichblum, CEO of WebFN. "As a company who streams live content daily, the return visitor -- the individual who relies on news programming from WebFN every day -- is a far more valuable metric than any other. Akamai`s streaming media platform and historical usage reporting services enable us to overcome these challenges and manage our web site and programming more effectively."

"WebFN, a top news organization and a valued Akamai customer, has built a successful online business due in part to the quality online interaction it delivers to its customers," said Paul Sagan, president, Akamai. "By taking advantage of Akamai`s scalable and reliable distributed computing platform and historical usage reporting tools, WebFN is able to effectively distribute its financial news programming across the Internet."

"The value to any advertiser is the opportunity to get their message to its intended audience and having more than one opportunity a month to do that," said Reichblum. "Akamai`s business intelligence solutions ensure that we have access to current data to help us refine our approach and optimize our web site`s functionality and programming strategies."

About WebFN


Since its commercial launch in January 2000, WebFN has established itself as an industry standard, identifying, developing and capitalizing on the emerging streaming-media market. WebFN is a 24/7 global financial news and information network that streams 12 hours of live, original, financial news programming from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, every business day on the Internet. Original WebFN programming completes the network`s daily 24-hour news loop and airs during the weekend and market holidays. This programming can be viewed at CNBC on

site B4Utrade.com. Collectively these web sites form the networks of
WebFN.

Akamai, Red Hat seek cheaper lodging


By Margaret Kane
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
March 21, 2002, 7:10 AM PT


The decline of the tech economy has taken a toll on Silicon Valley`s real estate market, and now there are signs that it is hitting other technology hubs as well.
Akamai Technologies announced Wednesday that it is breaking its lease in the Technology Square office park in Cambridge, Mass. The company said the move could save it $8 million to $10 million a year starting in 2003.

Earlier this week, Red Hat said that it is moving its headquarters from Durham, N.C., to nearby Raleigh to save $700,000 in real estate costs.




As companies look to tighten belts and cut costs, moving trucks are becoming almost as common as Aeron chairs in some high-tech centers. Although being in a tech hub can provide cachet as well as an opportunity to network, the cash saved by reducing leases has become more critical to some businesses.

A study from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. released Tuesday found that the nation`s property markets continued to deteriorate during the second half of 2001. Eighty-one percent of the federal bank and thrift executives surveyed said that real estate markets had excess supply, up from 64 percent in the previous survey. Among the cities listed with excess office space were notable high-tech hubs including Austin, Texas; Boston; Raleigh; San Francisco; San Jose; and Seattle.

"We saw an excellent opportunity to relocate and significantly lower our operating costs," Akamai President Paul Sagan said in a release. "We intend to take advantage of today`s lower commercial lease rates to reduce operating expenses."

Sagan said the company would announce its new headquarters location within the next 90 days. Akamai will pay a $15 million one-time termination fee to the landlord, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

PRESS RELEASE: Akamai Reports Rising Demand For Solution


PRESS RELEASE: Akamai Reports Rising Demand For Solution<AKAM.O>

Akamai Helps Leading Software
Companies Succeed at Using the Internet for Digital Asset Distribution

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9, 2002--
Enables Cognos, McAfee.com, Network Associates, PowerQuest, Sybase,
Others to Maximize Revenues and Simplify Infrastructure

Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), a leading provider of secure,
outsourced e-business infrastructure services and software, today announced
rising customer demand for its digitized download solution. A robust outsourced
infrastructure solution, Akamai`s digitized download offering manages the complex
process of delivering digital assets to end users in a highly reliable and
consistent fashion from the Internet`s edge while simplifying IT infrastructure
requirements for e-business operations.
As companies have come to realize the reach and cost effectiveness of the
Internet as a distribution vehicle, many have turned to the Web to offer software
to their customers. Yet, Jupiter Media Metrix has reported that nearly 50 percent
of Internet users responding to a Jupiter consumer survey have stopped using a
preferred site for some amount of time because of performance difficulties and
poor customer experience. Such abandonment can have a dramatic effect on an
enterprise`s bottom line, reducing revenues and increasing expenses associated
with infrastructure build-out, customer support, and marketing.
To fully exploit the advantages of the Internet for digital file distribution,
Akamai`s massively distributed global platform and expertise in optimized content
and application delivery have enabled customers including Adobe, Cognos,
McAfee.com, Network Associates, PowerQuest, Sybase, and Trend Micro, among others
to distribute software files, such as applications, updates, and demonstrations,
with dramatically increased download success rates and efficiency to clients.
"Akamai`s digitized download solution and scalable infrastructure not only
provide an effective way for Network Associates to distribute its critical
security applications and patches to millions of global customers, but its
integrated business intelligence tools provide us with immediate, relevant
business insight, enabling us to better evaluate our online efforts," said Antony
Rawlins, senior IT manager, Network Associates.
"Digital asset distribution is growing at a rapid pace with distributed computing
models like Akamai`s driving this growth while helping software leaders and other
companies to succeed at e-business," said Michael Ruffolo, executive vice
president, global sales, services, and marketing, Akamai. "As companies
increasingly adopt Internet and intranet technologies to support their online
operations, Akamai is becoming a significant trusted supplier to enterprise
customers` complex infrastructure needs."
Available independently or as part of the Akamai EdgeSuite(SM) set of services,
Akamai`s solution for digital file distribution offers unprecedented
opportunities to leverage the Internet as a distribution channel, resulting in
expanded customer reach, significant cost efficiencies, and time-to-market
advantage. Akamai`s digitized download services simplify IT planning, guarantee
reliable digital downloads from the edge, and provide relevant feedback and
timely business intelligence. These services are built on the Akamai Platform and
make the Internet a reliable and effective platform for conducting e-business.

Steige heute früh mit 2000 Stck. in AKAMAI ein, denn ich glaube, dass wir bei A. den Boden haben.
Quartalszahlen werden auch nicht enttäuschen.

Bin der Überzeugung, dass wir am Jahresende mind. bei 10 USD
stehen werden ...

Bitte verlangt von mir keine Unternehmens-Analysen, Charttechnik-Betrachtungen etc. zu AKAMAI.
Die letzten 2,5 Jahre haben es gezeigt, dass das alles Zeitverschwendung ist !


Gute Nacht @ all die_null

Wo haste denn gekauft? In F erst 150 St umgesetzt.

Bist du nur ein Schwätzer?

Übrigens heute nach Börsenschluß Quartalszahlen von Akamai und Inktomi.

@ micky:
Wollte erst noch die Zahlen abwarten zur Sicherheit ...
Was würdest du machen ? Vor o. nach den Zahlen rein ?

Gruss die_null

[Micky_Maus]

@dN

bin schon lange raus aus Akamai, war leider kein gutes Geschäft. Inktomi hat mir mehr Glück gebracht, bin aber auch dort nicht mehr investiert.

Die Frage ist doch, wer ist besser, bzw wer wird überleben?

Akamai hat vielleicht bessere Kunden, so etwa Apple oder die US-Streitkräfte. Inktomi dagegen hat AOL als Großkunden verloren.
Die Cashposition spricht auch eher für Akamai und wenn Inktomi`s Aktienkurs länger <1 $ bleibt, droht Delisting.

Akamai hat bisher stets die Erwartungen übertroffen, was die Quartalszahlen betrifft. Dennoch ist der Cashburn enorm, zuletzt 59 Mio $ Verlust bei 37 Mio $ Umsatz.

[die_null]

@ Micky :

Danke für die Auskunft !
Werde vorsichtshalber gestaffelt bei AKAMAI einsteigen.
Die ersten 600 Stck. noch vor 15:30 Uhr.

PS: Habe übrigens auch viel mit A. verloren, und das will ich mir jetzt so peu a peu zurückholen ...

Akamai Reports Second Quarter 2002 Results
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2002--


- Second quarter revenue of $36.3 million - Total EdgeSuite(SM) customers increased to 211 - Second quarter EBITDA loss of $8.3 million

Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKAM), the leading provider of edge computing solutions delivering secure content and distributed applications across the Internet, intranets, and extranets, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002. Revenue for the second quarter 2002 was $36.3 million.

"The second quarter of 2002 had revenue in line with our expectations and a dramatically improved cash-flow performance," said George Conrades, chairman and CEO of Akamai. "We continue to win new, key enterprise accounts, despite the poor environment for corporate I.T. expenditures. Our performance during this past quarter keeps our fully-funded business plan squarely on track as we approach our 2003 profitability goals."

Net loss, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), for second quarter 2002 was $42.2 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to a net loss for the first quarter 2002 of $59.1 million, or $0.54 per share, and for the second quarter 2001 a net loss of $92.6 million, or $0.91 per share.

Net loss for the second quarter 2002 before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other one-time and non-cash charges (EBITDA(1)) was $8.3 million, as compared to the first quarter 2002 EBITDA loss of $5.8 million, and down 69% from the second quarter 2001 EBITDA loss of $26.5 million. EBITDA is calculated as gross profit less research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Normalized net loss(1) for second quarter 2002 totaled $32.8 million, or $0.29 per share, in line with First Call`s consensus summary net loss of $0.29 per share. Normalized net loss is calculated as EBITDA less net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation. First quarter 2002 normalized net loss was $29.5 million, or $0.27 per share, and second quarter 2001 normalized net loss was $46.8 million, or $0.46 per share.

Second Quarter 2002 Highlights:

Customers


At the end of the second quarter of 2002, Akamai had 211 EdgeSuite customers under long-term, recurring contract, compared to 185 at the end of the previous quarter. New EdgeSuite customers in the second quarter included General Motors, Plumtree Software, Thomas Cook AG, TogetherSoft, Unicast Communications, and Visteon, among others. The second quarter also generated several EdgeSuite customer renewals including Apple, The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Victoria`s Secret, and Xerox. Resellers and channel partners accounted for approximately 23% of second quarter revenue, near levels from the previous two quarters.

"EdgeSuite is our primary growth driver, and has demonstrated stronger traction each quarter," said Conrades. "Revenue from EdgeSuite was over 36% of total revenue for the quarter, up from 27% in the first quarter. As our relationships with Fortune 500 companies continue to deepen, the quality of our revenue and of our customer base has never been stronger."

The combination of Akamai`s wholly-owned European operations plus the Akamai Technologies Japan K.K. joint venture contributed approximately 13% of revenue in the second quarter of 2002, which is consistent with the prior quarter.

Network


In the second quarter, Akamai continued to extend its deployment in 66 countries into a total of 1,095 networks, up from 1,047 networks at the end of the prior quarter. Akamai now has 12,976 servers deployed, up from 12,674 servers at the end of the prior quarter. Quarterly server deployment continues to fluctuate slightly as Akamai removes servers from several bankrupt ISPs and completes consolidation of some network assets.

Technology


During the second quarter of 2002, Akamai announced two significant technology relationships to further develop the company`s edge computing capabilities. By moving application processing to the edge of the network, Akamai is pioneering the technology behind edge computing, a distributed computing environment of choice, independent of an enterprise`s applications or operating system. Services announced during the quarter are:

EdgeSuite(SM) for Microsoft(R) .NET


Announced jointly with Microsoft, the EdgeSuite for Microsoft .NET service is designed to offer Akamai customers high-performance delivery of XML Web services and Web applications built on the Microsoft .NET Platform from the edge of the Akamai network. The service, which will also be available to all .NET developers, will integrate the Akamai EdgeSuite services with Microsoft .NET technologies.

EdgeSuite(SM) for Java based on IBM WebSphere


Announced jointly with IBM, this service will help enterprises maximize business efficiencies and scale by enabling Web applications to execute at the edge of the Internet via Akamai`s global network. By deploying the distributed application platform provided by IBM`s WebSphere in combination with Akamai EdgeSuite for Java, enterprises can benefit by further extending their Java-based applications and Web services closer to customers, partners and suppliers.

Financials


"Of significant importance when reviewing the second quarter is that our quarterly cash burn was only $11.5 million, the lowest level in years," said Timothy Weller, chief financial officer at Akamai. "This was a quarter marked by strong collections with 43 days sales outstanding, tight control of operating costs, and minimal capital expenditures thanks to our ability to leverage our already in-place network. We exited the quarter with $160.2 million in cash and marketable securities, strengthening our customer base while keeping our business plan fully funded."

In the second quarter 2002, Akamai announced the signing of a long-term sublease that keeps the company`s corporate headquarters in Cambridge, and is expected to result in annual operating savings of approximately $9 million starting later this year. The move will be completed in the fall of 2002.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had approximately $160.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term marketable securities as compared to $171.7 million at March 31, 2002. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $3.7 million.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had 116.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. At June 30, 2002, common stock outstanding and unexercised stock options and warrants totaled 133.4 million shares.

Quarterly Conference Call


Akamai will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET that can be accessed through 800-274-4379 (or 1+ 706-645-9202 for international calls). A live Webcast of the call can be accessed at www.akamai.com.

(1) EBITDA and normalized net loss are not recognized measures for financial statement presentation under U.S. GAAP.

The release contains information about future expectations, plans and prospects of Akamai`s management that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions and those specific to the Internet and related industries, unexpected increases in Akamai`s use of funds, the dependence on Akamai`s Internet content delivery service, outsourced e-business infrastructure services and other technology products, lack of market acceptance of our services, including EdgeSuite, a failure by us to successfully enter into any license, technology development or other technology partnership agreement within the time periods expected by us or at all, the sometimes lengthy and unpredictable amount of time required to engage a customer, failure to achieve incremental revenue growth through increased sales resources in a timely fashion or at all, the complexity of our services and the networks on which our services are deployed, and human error in operating the same, a failure of Akamai`s network infrastructure, failure to collect amounts owed by customers, our ability to service and repay our outstanding debt, changes in regulations or laws relating to privacy or other aspects of the Internet and other factors that are discussed in the Company`s Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents periodically filed with the SEC.
