"In the first quarter, our year-over-year license revenue growth rate accelerated to 89 percent, compared to 52 percent in the first quarter last year," stated Bill Coleman, BEA founder, chairman and CEO. "Demonstrating the continued adoption of WebLogic as the platform for e-business, the year-over-year growth rate of our WebLogic revenue remained in triple digits, as we continued to gain market share. These growth rates reflect the continued success of both our direct sales force and our indirect channels program," said Coleman. "Our indirect channels program once again exceeded our goals. For example, we set a goal of training 4,000 consultants in four quarters, and we exceeded that goal by training more than 4,200 consultants in three quarters. As expected, the success of the channels program allowed us to grow our higher margin license revenue faster than services revenue, by leveraging the consulting capacity of our partners to increase the number of projects built on our products."

Commenting on the continued success of BEA's direct sales force, Coleman said, "I am extremely proud of our sales force, which executed very well in our seasonally slower first quarter. Bookings for the quarter were in line with our expectations, based on our pipeline at the beginning of the quarter. The value our BEA WebLogic E-Business Platform provides to our customers allowed us to achieve record WebLogic revenues while maintaining our pricing," Coleman added.

Coleman concluded, "With the new and enhanced products we introduced recently, as well as new product introductions planned for this summer, we are raising the value we provide our customers while increasing our technology lead. We continued aggressively hiring in our sales force and our R&D teams, and we improved our management structure with promotions and key hires, which should enhance our ability to capitalize on the market opportunity. We remain excited and confident about our continued success, as more companies turn to BEA to help them future-proof their businesses by building flexible, personalized, and reliable Web-based systems."

Key customer and partner deals for the quarter included AGORA S.A., Bear Stearns, BT OpenWorld, CAJA Madrid, Citibank, Cox Interactive Media, Depository Trust Company, Elf, Franklin Templeton Companies, Knight Ridder, Kredyt Bank, Marsh & McLennan, Mizuho Securities, Morgan Stanley Online, Nextel, NTT DoCoMo, PeopleSoft, Telefonica Moviles, Unit Trust of India, United Parcel Service, Verizon, Welfare Case Data Systems, and Wells Fargo.

BEA Systems first-quarter profit triples
By Deborah Adamson, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 5:52 PM ET May 15, 2001

SAN JOSE, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- BEA Systems Tuesday said its first-quarter profit tripled and sales rose 67 percent from a year ago as the software developer continued to gain market share.

BEA, whose software integrates e-commerce applications with older networks, also said it expects to meet profit estimates for the second quarter and the full year.

BEA (BEAS: news, msgs, alerts) reported pro forma first-quarter profit of $35.9 million, or 8 cents a share, up from $12.4 million, or 3 cents, a year earlier. Results beat the estimate of analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial by a penny.

On a pro forma operating basis, the first quarter looked even better in a year-over-year comparison: Earnings quadrupled to $46 million from $13.3 million. Yet profit fell 18 percent in the seasonally slower first quarter from the fourth quarter.


During the quarter, license-fee revenue rose 89 percent to $161.2 million from the prior year. Bookings for the quarter were in line with management's expectations.

Pro forma figures exclude non-cash and one-time items, such as expenses related to acquisitions and a net gain on investments.

Including all the items, BEA Systems' net income would be $20.6 million, or 5 cents a share, compared with a loss of $12.4 million, or 3 cents a share, in the year-ago period.

Commenting on reports that rival IBM (IBM: news, msgs, alerts) is gaining market share, Chairman and CEO Bill Coleman said in a conference call that this competitor has posted consistently lower growth rates than BEA Systems. He did not specifically identify IBM.

Coleman also said his company is looking for opportunities to make acquisitions, focusing on small, privately held tech companies whose products would extend BEA Systems' platform, whose operations could be integrated rapidly and whose business would be accretive rapidly.

In the first quarter, the company had record cash flow from operations of $87.9 million, up 210 percent from a year ago.

Shares of BEA Systems rose by $1.75 to $36.07 in after-hours trading, adding to a 4 percent increase during the regular session.
