Silicon Graphics Reports Second Quarter Results
Turnaround On Track
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: SGI - news) today announced results for the second quarter of its 1999 fiscal year. Revenue for the second quarter was $685 million, compared with $851 million in the same quarter a year ago. Operating expenses for the quarter, without the effect of changes in estimated restructuring charges, were $319 million, down approximately $49 million from the same quarter a year ago.

The Company reported a net loss of $20 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with a net loss of $31 million, or $0.17 per share, in the same quarter a year ago. The Company's reported second quarter results included an $8 million reduction in previously estimated restructuring costs. Excluding the change in estimate, the Company's net loss would have been $25 million, or $0.14 per share.

''I am pleased with the progress we have made during my first year,'' said Richard Belluzzo, chairman and chief executive officer. ''Our second quarter results demonstrate that our turnaround remains on track with many important trends in the right direction. The efforts by our people to transition the Company to growth markets and tightly manage expenses has resulted in a more relevant and more competitive Silicon Graphics.''

''Our recently introduced Silicon Graphics 320 and Silicon Graphics 540 visual workstations have been well received by press and analysts alike,'' added Belluzzo. ''These products represent a significant milestone for the company and reinforce our leadership in the visual computing marketplace. We will continue focus on execution as we enter the second half of our turnaround.''

The Company's cash position remained strong during the second quarter, as a result of increased collections of accounts receivable and lower inventory purchases. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments were $761 million at December 31, 1998, as compared to $757 million at September 30, 1998. The Company's consolidated backlog at December 31, 1998 was $366 million. All earnings per share amounts represent diluted earnings per share as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128.

Eli, here is the IDC article for 98 workstation sales. By the way I think this was responsible for Dell rise yesterday and today as it was released yesterday during the market. Rich

STRONG UNIT GROWTH IN WORKSTATION MARKET IN 1998 BUT REVENUES DECLINE

Slightly, According to IDC

FRAMINGHAM, Mas., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- A newly released bulletin
from International Data Corporation (IDC) entitled The Workstation
Market, 1998: The Year in Review estimates total 1998 workstation
shipments grew 22% over 1997, reaching 2.3 million. However, market
revenues declined by 3% over last year, leveling off at $14.7 billion.
Hewlett-Packard was the overall leader in unit shipments (21%),
followed by Dell (16%). Sun was the overall leader in revenue (23%),
followed very closely by Hewlett-Packard (22%). The total workstation
market includes both Unix (traditional) and Windows NT (personal)
workstations.

"The lower cost of high performance Intel-based Windows NT systems
brought workstation capabilities to a much broader set of users than
has historically been the case with Unix workstations. The result has
been a significant increase in units ships, but a modest decline in
overall workstation revenue," says Tom Copeland, Director for IDC's
Workstation Research group. For the second year in a row, the
traditional (Unix) workstation market declined in both shipments and
revenue, by 6% and 16% respectively over the previous year. Total
shipments were 599,110 and total revenue was $7.9 billion. IDC
believes the decline in shipments is attributable to decreased
investment in Unix workstations by companies in the U.S. and Europe and
by the economic problems in Asia, particularly in Japan. The
additional revenue decline resulted from lower average selling prices
due to increase competition from Windows NT workstations. With
consolidation in the Unix workstation market, Sun, HP and IBM are now
the strongest players. Sun leads in market share in both shipments
(52%) and revenue (43%), well ahead of second place Hewlett-Packard
(16% in units and 23% in revenue).

Windows NT-based workstation shipments ($1.7 million) grew by 36% over
last year, and revenues ($6.8 billion) increased by 18% from last year.
HP and Dell are in a virtual tie for first place in both units (22.8%
and 22.3% respectively) and revenue (21.5% and 21.0%). The overall NT
(personal) market data includes both branded NT workstations - those
systems marketed explicitly as workstations - and non-branded
workstations - high end desktops used as workstations.

Branded NT workstations - those systems marketed explicitly as
workstations - showed exceptionally strong growth (98%) in units (to
776,206) and 60% in revenue (to $3.6 billion). The strong growth in
branded NT workstations indicates the increased focus by the major PC
vendors on the workstation segment. Hewlett-Packard was the market
share leader in both units (40%) and revenue (34%), followed by Dell
with 19% share in both units and revenue.

"With more branded NT workstations shipping than Unix workstations in
1998, NT is driving the growth in the workstation market. NT
workstations have surpassed the start-up phase and have become
mainstream in the workstation market," says Tom Copeland.

Key Data
-- Personal (Windows NT) workstation shipments grew by 36% over
last year, and revenues increased by 18% from last year. HP and Dell
are in a virtual tie for first place in both units and revenue.

-- Unit shipments of branded personal workstations surged 98% from last
year, and revenues rocketed to 60% over last year. For the first time
ever, branded personal workstations outshipped Unix workstations.

-- Branded NT workstations represent 56% of the total (NT and Unix)
branded workstations shipped, but only 32% of the revenue.

-- With a 10% shipment growth over last year, Sun was the only vendor
to increase Unix shipments in 1998. Sun now accounts for over 50% of
the traditional workstations shipped.

-- HP leads in total workstation units shipped worldwide with a share
of 21%. Sun and HP are in a virtual tie in workstation revenue
worldwide with 23.1% and 22.5% share, respectively.

Looking ahead, IDC expects that big companies with large installed
bases of Unix workstations will begin to move NT systems into their
core application areas in 1999 and 2000. IDC notes that the transfer
will be an arduous process that will take several years to complete.
Nonetheless, the positive influences of emerging markets and PC
upsizing will continue to feed NT growth as well.
