Graphics Solutions

Corel's graphics solutions decreased 10% on a year-to-year basis, from $73.9 million in fiscal 2001 to $66.4 million in fiscal 2002. The Company launched a new version of its flagship graphics solution, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 11, late in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Overall, sales of this new version were lower than anticipated in North America. However, strong sales of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 11 in the Company's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Refers to that region of the world. For example, one might see products packaged differently for the UK, EMEA and Asia Pacific markets. ) region helped to offset the lower-than-expected sales in the North American North American

 market. Fourth quarter 2002 sales of Corel's graphics solutions increased by 5% over the fourth quarter of 2001.

Office Productivity Solutions

Revenues from Corel's office productivity solutions declined by 17% on a year-to-year basis, from $58.6 million in fiscal 2001 to $48.7 million in fiscal 2002, which is consistent with expectations as the current version of the Company's WordPerfect Office A suite of office applications for Windows from Corel that includes WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Corel Presentations, Paradox and CorelCENTRAL (PIM, scheduling, etc.).

However, on a sequential basis during 2002, reported revenues from Corel's office productivity solutions increased from $11.2 million in the second quarter to $11.6 million in the third quarter and to $13.8 million in the fourth quarter. During fiscal 2002, the Company secured bundling agreements with the industry's leading PC manufacturers - HP, Dell, Sony SONY Standard Oil of New York (common, but untrue; it's an urban legend)  and Gateway - to pre-load its WordPerfect Office tools on select models of their consumer PCs. These agreements helped to increase the visibility of Corel's office productivity tools with future potential customers. Corel is preparing for the launch of the next version of its WordPerfect Office suite, scheduled for release in the first half of 2003.

Process Management Solutions

Revenue from Corel's process management solutions was $8.3 million for fiscal 2002. The Company acquired these technologies in October October: see month.  2001 when it purchased Micrografx, Inc. During fiscal 2001, Corel recognized only one month of revenue for this product line, totalling $220,000.

A new version of XMetaL will be available by the end of this quarter.

Performance by Region

Fiscal 2002 revenues for Corel's EMEA operation were $38.7 million, up $6.4 million, or 20% higher than fiscal 2001 revenues (including approximately 4% attributable to favorable fa·vor·a·ble

 exchange rate variances). Revenues generated in the EMEA region in fiscal 2002 represented 31% of the Company's total revenues, up from 24% in fiscal 2001. Growth in this key market is the result of strong sales of the Company's CorelDRAW and iGrafx solutions and overall investments Corel made in this operation in November 2001 to strengthen its global reach. Revenues generated in Corel's other primary markets (North America, Latin Lat·in

In the fourth quarter of 2002, Corel realigned its geographical segments to be more comparable with its competitors. The Company removed OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  revenue from traditional geographic regions as its customers for OEM products are global companies and are not specific to one geography. Comparative figures have been reclassified accordingly.

Expenses

Sales expenses during fiscal 2002 were higher than the prior year, resulting from the Company's investments to establish an enterprise sales force. Marketing expenses for fiscal 2002 also increased when compared with last year due to numerous product launches, including the introduction of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 11, the launch of Ventura 10 and new versions of Corel's iGrafx process management solutions. Included in the sales, marketing, research and development and general and administration expenses were costs related to the expansion of Corel's EMEA infrastructure as well as $5.9 million in severance and occupancy costs incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

Outlook

During fiscal 2003, Corel will continue to introduce new enterprise solutions based on open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced  such as XML and SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) A vector graphics format from the W3C for the Web that is expressed in XML.
