ACTIVCARD REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
| · | Cash and Short-Term Investments Balances Increase by Over $700 Thousand to $245.8 Million |
| · | Strong Quarter of Cash Collections Drives Days Sales Outstanding Down to 44 Days |
FREMONT, CA – July 30, 2003 – ActivCard® (NASDAQ: ACTI / NASDAQ EUROPE: ACTI), the leader in IDentity Management (IDM) software for remote access, secure sign-on and digital ID card solutions, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
ActivCard revenues for the second quarter were $9.5 million, compared to $9.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2002. Net loss for the quarter, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, was $10.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2002.
Included in cost of revenues for the second quarter are the effects of decisions made to terminate non-core business activities that resulted in a charge against earnings of $3.7 million. The resultant charge is related to the Company’s decisions to discontinue its biometric hardware product lines by transitioning to third party reselling; to terminate the hosting of PKI certificate issuance; and to eliminate overlapping ActivCard solutions by converging products and replacing royalty bearing third party software code.
“This was certainly a very tough quarter, with delays in a number of key accounts compounded by the impact on gross margins of lower software sales, and of foreign exchange on expenses, resulting in disappointing earnings. Despite these factors, the solid performance on a cash basis and substantially reduced DSO’s reflect a basically sound business. We remain committed to building our company into one of the leading enablers of strong authentication for digital identity management, and we continue to believe in the very large market which is emerging worldwide,” commented Steven Humphreys, CEO and Chairman of ActivCard Corp.
“Our investment in ASPACE Solutions Limited in London, also announced today, illustrates our commitment to delivering mission-critical strongly authenticated identity management applications for our customers in the financial services, government and enterprise markets. It also reaffirms our focus on the European financial services market, in addition to our proven strength in the U.S. government,” added Mr. Humphreys.
