Retek Reports Second Quarter Results; Software License Revenue Increases 45%

Business Wire, July 17, 2002

Business Editors

Retek Inc. today reported second quarter revenues of $60.8 million, up 39% from the year earlier quarter and up 14% from the first quarter of 2002. Software license revenue was $45.7 million, a 45% increase from the second quarter of 2001 and up 10% from the first quarter of 2002. The Company earned $0.04 per share on a GAAP basis compared with a loss of $0.02 per share in the year earlier quarter and a profit of $0.03 in the first quarter of 2002. Operational earnings, which exclude non-cash charges for stock based compensation and amortization of intangibles were $0.10 per share compared with $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2001 and $0.08 per share in the first quarter of 2002.

In the second quarter, the Company added seven new customers including FEMSA, a $5 billion company that operates Mexico's largest convenience store chain; Pier One, a $1.5 billion specialty retailer of home furnishings and gifts; CVS, a $22 billion pharmacy chain, and Ahlens AB, Sweden's largest department store retailer. The Company also signed significant follow-on deals with several key customers including Best Buy, Galeries Lafayette, and Tesco. The additional deal with Tesco greatly expands that retailer's commitment to Retek's footprint and provides for broader product access and expanded geographic coverage.

At the end of the second quarter, cash rose to $99 million and DSO declined to 64 days, below the Company's targeted range of 70-90 days. Retek previously announced that, due to delays in signing a number of deals late in the second quarter, it was revising guidance for 2002. The revised guidance calls for full year revenue of $215 to $230 million and operational earnings of $0.25 to $0.30 per share.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Steve Ladwig, President and CEO of Retek said, "Our second quarter results were good and reflect continued momentum in adding new customers as well as expanding relationships with our existing customer base. While we fell short of our target for software license sales, we do not believe this represents a dramatic change in the fundamentals of our market. Rather, we believe customers are being deliberate in evaluating all major capital expenditures including technology investments. Given the strong returns generated by Retek applications, we believe we can continue to be successful in this market. The entire Company is focused on executing against the revised plan and re-accelerating our growth going forward."
