First quarter fiscal 1999 results included pre-tax gains of $19.1 million on the sale of the Company's investment in Sage Enterprises (Planet All), $23.2 million on the sale of the Company's investment in Reel.com, $19.2 million on issuance of stock by Lycos Inc. , and $24.1 million on issuance of stock by GeoCities . Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, when the Company's ownership in Lycos was reduced below 50 percent, CMGi began accounting for its investment in Lycos under the equity method, rather than the consolidation method, and as such, CMGi's consolidated revenues and operating expenses no longer include Lycos. On a comparable basis, CMGi's first quarter fiscal 1999 revenues of $40 million represent an increase of 153% over prior year first quarter results, excluding Lycos revenues of $9.3 million included in Q1 fiscal 1998 results. Similarly, excluding Lycos operating expenses of $9.7 million included in CMGi's prior year first quarter results, first quarter fiscal 1999 operating expenses of $59.9 million, reflect a 22% increase from the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 and a 117% increase from last year's first quarter. |
