BANCBOSTON ROBERTSON STEPHENS REITERATES BUY RATING ON EXDS PR Wire June 14, 1999, 7:11 a.m. PT SAN FRANCISCO, June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by BancBoston Robertson Stephens, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, CRD number 41271: BancBoston Robertson Stephens senior eCommerce Services analyst Rick Juarez today reiterated his Buy rating on Exodus Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: EXDS). Exodus, headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., is a leading business-centric provider of Internet systems and network management solutions. "We are reiterating our Buy recommendation on Exodus as we believe Exodus' revenue growth and business plan remain firmly on track. In addition, we expect continued improvement on gross margins due to increasing operational efficiencies and believe that the company is on track for positive EBITDA in the first half of 2000. As business gains momentum, we continue to believe Exodus' shares remain undervalued relative to other category leaders," said Juarez. "We are maintaining our 1999 and 2000 revenue and earnings per share estimates on the stock but believe there will be upside as additional centers come online," said Juarez. "Upside in our estimates should be driven by new customer contract wins in leading growth areas, including email outsourcing, e-commerce, MRO catalogs and unified messaging segments."
