Price target 60!! , Lehman Brothers up.

SH: BackWeb Technologies: 4Q Tops Estimates-Raising Target to $60

02:17am EST 28-Jan-00 Lehman Brothers International (Michael E. Stanek (415)27
Ticker : BWEB Rank(Old): 1-Buy Rank(New): 1-Buy
Price : $42 7/8 52wk Range: $51-15 Price Target (Old): $40
Today's Date : 01/27/00 Price Target (New): $60
Fiscal Year : DEC
*Solid quarter all around: revenue of $7.9M (+125%) topped our $6.8 million
estimate. Loss of -$0.04 exceeded our -$0.07 estimate. Raising our FY00
revenue estimate slightly from $39.7M to $40.5M. Raising our EPS estimate
from a loss of -$0.15 to -$0.11.

*27% sequential revenue growth reflection of the addition on 40 new customers
in quarter, bringing total to 100 for the year. Major wins in key vertical
markets include Charles Schwab (financials) and SBC and Bell Atlantic Mobile
(telecom).

*Company began recognizing revenue from SAP's CRM deployments which exceeded
expectations and contributed a little less than 10% of revenue. As SAP
deploys more CRM seats, BackWeb will receive a per seat royalty which could
represent a source of future upside.

*New relationship and $15M investment by RealNetworks validation of BackWeb's
B2C push strategy. BackWeb will incorporate its technology into the
RealJukebox to automatically distribute music to the desktop.

As a result of continued business execution and the potential of the SAP and
RealNetworks deals, we are raising our price target from $40 to $60.
