BroadVision, Inc. Reports Results for Second Quarter 2001; Company Announces Additional Workforce Reduction and Facility Consolidation.


    Business Editors

      REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2001--BroadVision,
Inc. (Nasdaq:BVSN), a leading provider of personalized e-business
applications, today reported financial results for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001.
      Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 were $57.4
million compared to revenues of $95.3 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000. Pro forma net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2001,
which excludes amortization of goodwill and acquired technology, the
charge for acquired in-process technology and restructuring costs, was
$53.1 million, or $0.19 per share on a basic and diluted basis versus
pro forma net income of $10.6 million, or $0.04 per share, on a
diluted basis compared to the same period a year ago.
      For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, revenues were $148.6
million compared to revenues of $156.8 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000. Pro forma net loss for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2001 was $91.9 million, or $0.34 per share on a
basic and diluted basis, versus pro forma net income of $20.7 million,
or $0.07 on a diluted basis compared to the same period a year ago.
      "The continued economic uncertainty surrounding the economic and
IT spending environment significantly affected our license revenue
during the quarter. As a result of these conditions, we are taking
further steps to control costs, including an additional workforce
reduction of approximately 15-20% of the company's workforce of
approximately 1,500 at June 30, 2001. We anticipate that these
reductions, combined with the consolidation of various offices and
other cost control programs, will be completed during the third
quarter. We remain cautious about the near term and therefore will
continue to focus our attention on reducing expenses as we look to
regain profitability as quickly as possible," commented Dr. Pehong
Chen, BroadVision's president and CEO. "Although the overall business
climate remains cloudy, customers still continue to express great
interest in our products. We are pleased with the customer response to
our version 6.0 product release, as we have now shipped BroadVision
One-To-One Enterprise 6.0 to more than 270 customers and partners.
Customers live on 6.0 include The Home Depot, Sam's Club, Shop at
Home, TSMC and Xilinx, with additional customers migrating to 6.0 such
as GE Supply, ABN AMRO, UMC and Pitney Bowes. With a strong customer
base, highly competitive technology and a solid balance sheet, we are
confident that we will emerge from the current environment with a
solid foundation for future growth."
      Additionally, for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the company
recorded a previously announced restructuring charge for severance
costs due to recent reductions in force, the consolidation and
re-alignment of real estate and other restructuring-related costs of
approximately $123 million. The real estate assumptions underlying
this charge will be reviewed on a quarterly basis in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and adjustments, if needed,
will be made accordingly. Also, the company expects to incur a
restructuring charge in the third quarter, substantially below the
amount recorded in the second quarter, related to severance costs
associated with the workforce reduction and consolidation of certain
minor international facilities.
