Press Release
eGain Announces Record Second Fiscal Quarter Revenues of $13.8
Million
Company Forecasts Two Quarter Acceleration in Drive to Profitability
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2001--eGain Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:EGAN - news), a leading
provider of customer interaction software for the Internet, today announced record revenues for the quarter ended December
31, 2000, the second quarter of its fiscal year 2001.
Revenues for the quarter were $13.8 million, representing an increase of 475% over revenues of $2.4 million in the same quarter
last year and 15% over revenues of $12.1 million in the prior quarter.
Excluding non-cash charges, net loss for the quarter was $15.7 million, a decrease from a net loss of $19.2 million in the prior
quarter, or a net loss per share of $0.45 compared to a net loss per share of $0.56 in the prior quarter.
Including non-cash charges, net loss for the quarter was $46.2 million compared to a net loss of $31.5 million in the prior quarter,
or a net loss per share of $1.32 compared to a net loss per share of $0.91 in the prior quarter. Non-cash charges include
amortization of goodwill, deferred compensation, and other intangible assets, as well as accreted dividends and other non-cash
charges related to the company`s cumulative convertible preferred stock. The December quarter included an $18.6 million
one-time non-cash charge related to the beneficial conversion feature on the company`s cumulative convertible preferred stock.
``From almost every perspective we are executing ahead of plan,`` said Ashutosh Roy, eGain`s Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. ``We drove top line revenue ahead of expectations while simultaneously driving better than anticipated efficiencies in our
operating model. We expanded the depth, breadth and size of our engagements with Global 2000 companies. The quarter
highlighted our continued focus on larger customers and higher average selling prices.``
In addition to reporting quarterly earnings, the company also announced that it is revising its projections as to when it anticipates
achieving profitability. ``The December quarter marks an important milestone for eGain,`` noted Harpreet Grewal, eGain`s Chief
Financial Officer. ``This was the first quarter the company reported a sequential decrease in quarterly operating losses. In doing
so, we find ourselves about two quarters ahead of previous expectations in our drive towards profitability.``
``Looking ahead, we anticipate that our revenues in calendar year 2001 will increase by approximately 110% over revenues in
calendar year 2000,`` said Mr. Grewal. ``Simultaneously, we anticipate that by focusing the business on aggressive but profitable
growth, the company will breakeven on a cash basis by December 2001, two quarters ahead of previous estimates. Additionally,
our cash position remains strong, and we do not anticipate having to seek additional capital before that time.``
Enterprise Sales Fueling Growth
eGain`s success in selling to Global 2000 customers, as well as to established mid-tier companies, continues to fuel the
company`s growth. During the December quarter, the company added over 50 new customers, increasing its total customer
count to over 700. Global 2000 and established mid-tier companies account for more than 80% of all customers. During the
December quarter, approximately 50% of eGain`s direct new customers purchased multiple applications, an increase from 29%
in the prior quarter - further validating the company`s strong multi-channel product strategy.
New customers in the December quarter included Charles Schwab, one of the nation`s largest financial services companies;
Charter Communications, the fourth largest US cable operator with over 6.2 million customers; FleetBoston Financial, the
nation`s seventh largest bank holding company; GE Power Systems, a division of General Electric; IDT, a billion dollar
communications company; VSP (Vision Service Plan), the largest provider of eye health insurance coverage with over 33 million
members worldwide; Solutia Inc., a $3 billion chemicals company; Finish Line, one of the largest retailers of athletic equipment
with over 440 stores nationwide, as well as a host of other companies, including Vermont Teddy Bear, CP Hotels, Weight
Watchers, Sequoia Software, Portland General & Electric, and Hawaiian Electric.
A significant number of the company`s existing customers purchased additional products and services, accounting for over 50%
of bookings during the December quarter. These customers included 3Com, Daimler Chrysler, McAfee.com and Ford Motor
Company.
eGain`s customer base now includes (as rated by Fortune Magazine):
22 of the 50 largest global companies
3 of the 5 largest diversified financial services companies
6 of the 10 largest telecommunications companies
The eGain Value Proposition
eGain is one of the leading providers of enterprise software to manage on-line customer interactions -- self-service, real-time Web
collaboration and email. During the December quarter, self-service accounted for approximately 20% of total units sold,
real-time collaboration accounted for approximately 25%, and email accounted for approximately 55%. Companies like Charles
Schwab, Microsoft, and ABN AMRO have chosen eGain to help transform their phone-based call centers to a multi-channel
eService network.
``The underlying value proposition for eGain`s solutions has never been more tangible or better understood by customers than in
today`s demanding business environment,`` said Mr. Roy. ``We made a strategic decision to pursue e-Customer service, and large
corporations around the world are validating our decision. Our solutions are a strategic purchase that provide substantial,
sustainable and rapid ROI. As a result, we are continuing to win the majority of our sales engagements.``
``eGain is focused on a hot area of eCommerce and CRM,`` said Mary Wardley, Program Director of Customer Relationship
Management at International Data Corporation (IDC). ``The growth rate is nearly double the rate of growth we expect for
e-Marketing software. Customer service software is one of the most critical enterprise applications today, and the kinds of
multi-channel products that eGain provides address the market requirement for consistent customer interactions across all
touchpoints.``
Microsoft Limited, in the UK, is one of the many customers that has seen impressive results with eGain enterprise software
solutions. Since deployment, Microsoft has experienced a 28% reduction in escalations to second level support and a 10%
increase in customer satisfaction through their use of eGain Knowledge. Lucas Arts is saving over $2 million annually since
installing eGain Knowledge. After deploying eGain Live, a real-time Web collaboration solution, SureTrade, a division of Fleet
Financial Group, migrated 55% of all customer inquiries to the Web and reduced the average phone hold time from 12 minutes
to 38 seconds -- increasing customer satisfaction while simultaneously lowering the cost of servicing these customers.
``The primary market that eGain plays in is one of the faster moving CRM markets,`` said Tim Hickernell, Senior Program Director,
META Group CRM Infusion. ``eGain`s early attention to the requirements of global customer service, positions it to address the
requirements of companies with global customers as well as emerging global service organizations.``
International Operations
During the December quarter, eGain continued to strengthen its international business. International revenues comprised
approximately 25% of total revenues for the quarter. The quantity and quality of international customers and partners secured
by the company during the quarter highlights its growing international presence. These customers include Asia Travel Network
and Zone Telecom in Singapore; Telequity and Online Trading Systems in Australia; Pacific Century Systems in Hong Kong; NTL,
Barclays, Esselte, eBookers, and the BBC in Europe. In Japan, previously announced partners NTT and Marubeni continued to
train their sales forces on eGain products, extending eGain`s reach into top Japanese corporations.
eGain anticipates continued growth in international markets. Industry analysts at Jupiter Research report that more than 60% of
all Internet users live outside of North America. Datamonitor analysts forecast e-commerce spending to grow 152% in
Continental Europe and 331% in the United Kingdom by the end of 2002.
Financial Guidance -- Calendar Year 2001
The company`s operating performance in the December quarter places it approximately two quarters ahead of previous
profitability expectations. As a result, the company expects to achieve profitability, on an earnings before depreciation and
amortization basis, in the December quarter of calendar year 2001. This improved profitability outlook is based on three key
factors: (i) the company`s continued success in penetrating global 2000 customers and the corresponding leverage derived from
a strategy of fewer customers and higher average selling prices; (ii) eGain`s focus on managing costs and driving global operating
efficiencies; and, (iii) the company`s strategic focus on aggressive yet profitable revenue growth.
In light of the foregoing, eGain offers the following guidance for calendar year 2001.
