Fiscal Year

CMGI reported net revenue of $708 million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002. This compares to net revenue of $1.17 billion for the year ended July 31, 2001, a decrease of 39%.

CMGI reported a total operating loss of $591 million for the year ended July 31, 2002, compared to a total operating loss of $5.75 billion for the year ended July 31, 2001, representing a 90% decrease in operating loss from the prior year. Included in the fiscal 2002 operating loss were charges related to amortization of intangible assets and stock based compensation ("amortization charges") and depreciation totaling $298 million, long-lived asset impairment charge of $73 million, and net restructuring charges of $26 million. Fiscal 2001 total operating loss included charges related to amortization and depreciation totaling $1.63 billion, long lived asset impairment charges of $3.36 billion and a net restructuring charge of $209 million.

Excluding the effects of charges related to in-process research and development, depreciation, amortization, long-lived asset impairment and restructuring, CMGI reported a pro forma operating loss(1) of $194 million or ($0.51) pro forma operating loss(1) per share for the year ended July 31, 2002 versus a pro forma operating loss(1) of $550 million or ($1.67) pro forma operating loss(1) per share in the previous year ended July 31, 2001.

CMGI reported a net loss of $552 million for fiscal 2002, compared to a net loss of $5.49 billion for fiscal 2001. CMGI's net loss available to common stockholders for fiscal 2002 was $490 million, or ($1.29) loss per share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $5.50 billion, or $(16.67) loss per share, for fiscal 2001.

Outlook

Consolidated net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 is expected to be approximately $178 million to $182 million.

Pro forma operating loss(1) for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 is expected to be approximately $37 million to $40 million. This amount includes $5 million in losses related to divested companies.

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance exiting the first quarter of fiscal 2003 is expected to be approximately $180 million. In addition, total cash and cash equivalents usage in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 is expected to be approximately $77 million, of which approximately $15 million relates to the cash and cash equivalent balances of Engage and Equilibrium, which were divested subsequent to July 31, 2002. The $77 million also includes payments for lease terminations and payments related to CMGI's Series C payment obligations.

"We have made significant progress this year but there is still more work to be done. Going forward, we will continue to complete key acquisitions and divestitures to ensure we have the right composition of core businesses as defined by our strategic plan. We remain focused on strengthening our competitive position and achieving profitability," said McMillan.

Our prior guidance indicated we expected to reach break even on a consolidated pro forma operating basis in the first half of fiscal year 2003. We currently expect a $10 - $15 million pro forma operating loss(1) in the second quarter of fiscal 2003, and to reach break even on a consolidated pro forma operating basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, both dependent on the actual timing of divestitures of certain non core assets and/or and/or
