Siebel Systems heeft vandaag de voorlopige resultaten bekend gemaakt voor het kwartaal dat op 30 juni 2003 geeindigd is. De winst per aandeel zal waarschijnlijk $0.02 zijn, in lijn met de verwachtingen. De geschatte positie ten aanzien van cash, cash-equivalenten en korte-termijninvesteringen op 30 juni 2003 zal ongeveer $2.29 miljard zijn, een toename van $70 miljoen. Totale omzet voor het tweede kwartaal wordt geschat op $330 miljoen tot $334 miljoen, met omzet uit licenties op ongeveer $110 miljoen dollar.
Hoewel er onverwachte vertragingen in aankoopbeslissingen door prospects en klanten waren, heeft Siebel Systems met succes de onkosten, cash flow en de balans beheerd. Hierdoor heeft het bedrijf ondanks de iets lager dan verwachte omzetgeneratie kunnen voldoen aan de winstverwachtingen en de cashflow verwachtingen kunnen overtreffen.

Siebel Systems Reports Preliminary Earnings for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2003
SAN MATEO, Calif.—July 3, 2003—Siebel Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEBL), a leading provider of eBusiness applications software, today announced preliminary results for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
Earnings per share are expected to be approximately $0.02 a share, within the range of management projections. The company’s estimated cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were approximately $2.29 billion as of June 30, 2003, an increase in excess of $70 million in the quarter.
The company expects total revenues for the second quarter of 2003 to be in the range of $330 million to $334 million and license revenues to be approximately $110 million, slightly below management’s previous range of guidance for the quarter.
The company faced unexpected delays in purchasing decisions by prospects and customers due to the uncertain economic climate and turbulent enterprise software industry landscape. However, Siebel Systems successfully managed the factors over which it has greater control—expenses, cash flow, and the balance sheet. The company was able to meet its earnings guidance and exceed cash flow expectations in light of revenue generation that was slightly below anticipated levels.
Siebel Systems will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. EDT (5:30 a.m. PDT) to discuss its preliminary results. The call can be accessed live over the Internet at www.siebel.com/investor or by dialing (888) 454-1838 in the U.S. or (415) 537-1835 outside the U.S. A replay of the call will be available through July 22, 2003, over the Internet through the same Web site, or by calling (800) 633-8284 in the U.S. or (402) 977-9140 outside the U.S., with reservation number 21154242.
Final first quarter financial results will be reviewed during the company’s regularly scheduled conference call on Tuesday, July 22, 2003, at 5:00 p.m. EDT (2:00 p.m. PDT).
