CheckFree Corporation:

-- Electronic payment percentage passes 60 percent mark

U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on
: CKFR CKFR Checkfree Corporation (stock abbreviation, AMEX) ) today announced revenues of $107.7 million for the second quarter ended December 31, 2000 compared to $73.0 million for the same quarter of Fiscal 2000. Total revenues for the quarter increased 48 percent over the comparative quarter of last year.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  Pete Kight said, "I continue to be very pleased with the progress we are making this year. Our Internet-based subscriber growth continued to be above 20 percent, and our overall subscriber growth rate of eight percent was at the high end of our expectations. This growth continues to reflect subscriber gains distributed across our base of Consumer Service Providers. Healthy increases in bills distributed were spread relatively evenly across both billers and Consumer Service Providers, and we showed a strong gain in the percent of transactions we processed electronically this quarter. Our quality levels continued to set the standard for the industry, and we achieved our goal of 4.6 Sigma SIGMA - A scientific visual programming environment from NASA.

Solid Performance on All Core Electronic Billing Electronic billing is the electronic delivery and presentation of financial statements, bills, invoices, and related information sent by a company to its customers. Electronic billing is also referred to as the following:
  • e-billing
  • EBPP
 and Payment Metrics metrics Managed care A popular term for standards by which the quality of a product, service, or outcome of a particular form of Pt management is evaluated. See TQM.

Significant accomplishments relevant to CheckFree's goal of continuing to lead and to accelerate the electronic billing and payment market include:

      --  Nearly 275 sites are now live with full electronic billing and
        payment, up from nearly 250 at the end of the first quarter of
        FY 2001 and compared to just over 100 at the close of the
        second quarter of fiscal 2000.

      --  The Company signed deals for electronic billing and payment
        with 12 billers in the second quarter, bringing to 222 the
        total roster of bills that will soon be available on the
        Internet, which is up from 89 at the close of the second
        quarter of fiscal 2000. One hundred and forty four of these
        bills are available on the Internet today, up from 62 at the
        close of the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

      --  CheckFree exceeded 210,000 bills distributed over the Internet
        in December, up from about 140,000 bills distributed on the
        Internet in September, and up from around 38,000 bills
        distributed in December of fiscal 2000. This equates to a run
        rate of more than 2.5 million bills per year.

      --  Second quarter sequential quarterly subscriber growth was
        eight percent, bringing the total subscriber count at the end
        of the quarter to just over 4.4 million. This count includes
        the 300,000 EBP subscribers assimilated from Bank of America's
        California platform at the beginning of the second quarter.
        The second quarter subscriber growth rate was eight percent in
        total and restated for these subscribers. As in previous
        quarters, subscriber growth reflects across the board gains
        from CheckFree's Consumer Service Provider partners, and
        greater than 20 percent growth from Internet-based
        subscribers.

      --  The Company processed more than 18 million transactions in
        December, including about one million transactions from Bank
        of America's California platform. The Company achieved an
        electronic payment rate in excess of 60 percent, both with and
        without these transactions factored in, reflecting continued
        improvements in patented processes around risk management and
        payment routing, as well as improvements in exception
        prevention and electronic remittance connections.


"We had a very good quarter across our electronic commerce operations and an extraordinary quarter from a quality perspective," said Pete Sinisgalli, CheckFree president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO)

The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president.
. "This quarter we achieved our goal of 99.9 percent systems availability and transaction processing quality, also known as `dial tone' reliability.

"This achievement sets the standard for quality in the electronic billing and payment industry," Sinisgalli continued. "It also confirms our earlier estimation estimation

In mathematics, use of a function or formula to derive a solution or make a prediction. Unlike approximation, it has precise connotations. In statistics, for example, it connotes the careful selection and testing of a function called an estimator.
 that optimal efficiency in this market requires integrating electronic billing and payment processes on a single system. We could not have achieved this exceptional quality with the disparate systems we operated before building Genesis. In fact, the exacting level of quality we attained this quarter led to a customer-claims-to-payments ratio of less than four in one thousand, and even the majority of these were simply information requests, not financial claims. These successes reinforce our confidence in our system's robust quality and economies-of-scale efficiency," Sinisgalli said.

Strong Division Performance

CheckFree's Electronic Commerce division reported revenue of $74.4 million for the quarter, representing 47 percent growth over the same quarter of fiscal 2000. The division posted a pro forma operating loss operating loss

 for the quarter was $4.0 million, down slightly from the second quarter of fiscal 2000, due to timing of investments in product innovations and processing infrastructure. After having surpassed the one-million mark for portfolios under management in the first quarter, the division grew this metric by 6 percent in the second quarter.

The Company's Software businesses reported revenue in the quarter of $16.3 million, up 80 percent over revenue generated in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Pro forma operating income was $1.2 million, down from pro forma operating income of $2.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, reflecting, as planned, continued substantial investment in CheckFree i-Solutions, the Company's e-billing and e-statement software and services unit formed last March following the acquisition of BlueGill bluegill: see sunfish.

Third Quarter Expectations

"We are forecasting revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to be in the range of $109 million to $114 million, with a pro forma loss per share of around four to six cents," said David Mangum, CheckFree's chief financial officer.
