i2 Technologies – übertrifft Erwartungen

i2 Technologies [Nasdaq: ITWO Kurs/Chart ] wird mit seinem Ergebnis für das vierte Quartal (bis 31.12.) die Erwartungen der Wall Street übertreffen. Dies hat der Business-to-Business-(B2B)-Softwarehersteller vorab am Montag nach Börsenschluss bekannt gegeben.

Der Umsatz werde mindestens 370 Millionen Dollar betragen, sagte ein Unternehmenssprecher. Analysten rechnen nach Angaben des Finanzinformationsdienstes First Call/ Thomson Financial durchschnittlich nur mit Einnahmen in Höhe von 343 Millionen Dollar.

Das Unternehmen erwartet, dass der operative Gewinn vor Sonderfaktoren ebenfalls über den Prognosen der Analysten von 51 Millionen Dollar liegen wird. Die Einnahmen aus der Lizenzierung von Software würden sich im Berichtszeitraum gegenüber dem Vorjahresquartal voraussichtlich mehr als verdoppelt.

"Das sind tolle Nachrichten", so ein Analyst. "Ich denke, dass in diesem Quartal noch weitere B2B-Unternehmen solch positive Überraschungen für uns bereits halten werden."

Die exakten Quartalszahlen wird i2 Technologies voraussichtlich am 17. Januar nach Börsenschluss bekannt geben.

Press Release
i2 First e-Business Solutions Provider to Top $1 Billion in Annual Revenues With Announcement of Record Quarterly Revenues and Earnings
Fourth quarter license revenues grow 120% over 4Q99. Pro forma operating income and net income for year more than triple 1999 results.
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2001-- i2 Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ITWO - news), the leading provider of supply chain and marketplace solutions, announced today its final, record-setting results for the fourth quarter and full year 2000. The company almost doubled last year`s revenues, increasing 97 percent year-over-year, becoming one of the world`s largest software companies, with revenues of more than $1.1 billion in 2000. Total quarterly revenues of $378 million were the largest ever reported by i2, growing 116% over 1999 fourth quarter revenues of $175 million.

Earnings per share also grew dramatically, on a fully diluted pro forma basis for all periods, to $0.09 for the fourth quarter and $0.26 for the full year 2000, compared to $0.05 and $0.09 for the same periods in 1999, respectively. ``Pro forma`` earnings exclude amortization of intangibles, write-off of in-process R&D and acquisition related expenses, non-recurring charges, employer taxes on stock option exercises and net losses realized on minority investments. All prior earnings per share data have been restated to reflect two separate 2-for-1 stock splits which occurred on February 17 and December 5, 2000.

``As proud as I am of our revenue results and achieving the $1 billion dollar milestone, I`m prouder still of the enormous value we are helping our customers create,`` said Sanjiv Sidhu, chairman and CEO of i2. ``Our customers have already achieved over $16 billion in growth and savings using our solutions, and will realize billions more in value each year from better planning, improved customer service, lower cost of goods sold, lower inventory and better asset utilization. We help our customers achieve higher productivity, fueling growth in their economies. We are absolutely making a real difference in the world.``

Fourth Quarter Results

Growth in i2`s e-business applications was again very strong for the fourth quarter. License revenues grew 120 percent to $244 million for the final quarter of 2000, over the $111 million reported for the same quarter a year ago, and coming in well over published estimates. Licenses from existing customers made up 62 percent of license revenues recognized this quarter, indicating a strong vote of confidence and customers` satisfaction with the value they`ve received.

Revenues were spread over all of i2`s major vertical and geographic markets, and the Company expanded into several new markets. International revenues made up 36 percent of total revenues for the quarter, lead principally by Europe and Asia-Pacific, with customers such as Hitachi and Nokia. In the high tech vertical, customers such as AT&T Wireless, Applied Materials, Alcatel and many others made up 47 percent of i2`s license revenues for the fourth quarter. Consumer goods and retail contributed 22 percent of license revenues, from customers such as the Transora and the WorldWide Retail Exchange marketplaces, and Kmart. Automotive and industrial customers made up 17 percent of licenses, including two of the ``Big 3`` automakers, several tier-one suppliers to the industry, and Caterpillar.

``Pro forma operating margin for the quarter grew to 17 percent, dropping more to the bottom line than ever before,`` according to Bill Beecher, i2 chief financial officer. ``i2`s earning power, as measured on a pro forma operating margin, shows the strength inherent in i2`s model, and with our scale, allows us to leverage top-line growth for bottom-line profitability.`` Pro forma operating income, net income and fully diluted EPS were $66 million, $44 million and $0.09 per share, respectively. All showed strong growth over comparable pro forma figures of $25 million, $18 million and $0.05 per share reported in the fourth quarter last year.

The Company reported an actual net loss for the fourth quarter 2000 of $727 million, or $1.80 diluted loss per common share, compared to net income of $15 million, or $0.04 diluted earnings per common share in the fourth quarter 1999.

Full Year Results

``Full year revenues shattered the $1 billion goal we set for year 2000 during our IPO in early 1996, when our annual revenues were less than $50 million,`` said Sidhu. ``A combination of strong sales, superior execution, and key acquisitions such as Aspect Development, significantly accelerated our revenue growth for the year to 97 percent, from 55 percent growth last year.`` License revenues more than doubled in 2000, growing 101 percent over 1999.

i2 more than tripled operating income (up 219 percent) and net income (up 252 percent) on a pro forma basis. ``Our pro forma operating margin of 14 percent for 2000 was three points over our target of 11 percent as we entered the year, and six points over the 8 percent we reported last year,`` Beecher added.

The Company reported an actual net loss for the year 2000 of $1.75 billion, or $4.83 diluted loss per common share, compared to net income of $24 million, or $0.07 diluted earnings per common share in 1999.

Beecher concluded, ``i2 not only grew sales, but as planned, we grew margins faster. We have the number one position in our key markets. Our intellectual property is some of the richest and most difficult in the industry to replicate, and we have a tremendous heritage of executing and delivering value.``

Looking forward

Company management stated that it currently sees no signs of a slowing economy in its business. ``We clearly haven`t seen a slowdown in our business so far, and we expect that our value proposition -- high ROI (return on investment) and quick payback -- positions us as a strategic investment to improve competitiveness even during slower economic growth,`` said Sidhu.

``As companies become more concerned about improving their profitability, their competitiveness, their ability to satisfy their customers and their business velocity, i2`s solutions represent one of the best investments they can make,`` reiterated Sidhu. ``We have been saying this for a long time, and the proof of this statement is evidenced in our outstanding financial results for both this past quarter and the year. We`re looking forward to our next significant milestone -- $5 billion in revenues -- with associated earnings.``

Company management will share expectations for 2001 revenue and earnings on the Company`s conference call with investors and analysts, available at www.i2.com/investors.
