REDWOOD CITY, CA. -- April 28, 2009 -- BroadVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: BVSN), a global provider of strategic e-business solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Revenues for the first quarter were $8.0 million, compared with revenues of $9.7 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 and $10.0 million for the comparable quarter of 2008.

License revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $2.9 million versus $3.6 million for the prior quarter and $4.0 million for the comparable quarter of 2008. The majority of the first quarter license revenue was generated from the Company's core BroadVisionR Business Agility SuiteTM, Commerce Agility SuiteTM and eMerchandisingTM solutions from customers including, Techtree IT System, ClubMed, SPX, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. and We@Service and several other brand name global customers.

In the first quarter of 2009, BroadVision posted net loss on a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") basis of $626,000, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, as compared with GAAP net loss of $22.1 million, or $5.04 per basic share and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008 and GAAP net income of $5.4 million, or $1.23 per basic share and $1.21 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of 2008. The GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008 included a charge related to the impairment of goodwill of $25.1 million.

Non-GAAP measure net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $336,000, or $0.07 per basic share and diluted share, compared with non-GAAP measure net income of $2.8 million, or $0.64 per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008 and non-GAAP measure net income of $3.1 million, or $0.70 per basic share and $0.69 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of 2008. These non-GAAP measure results exclude restructuring credit, goodwill impairment charges, stock compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) and revaluation of warrant liabilities. A reconciliation of these pro-forma figures to GAAP net income figures is included in a table on the attached financial statements. The Company believes these non-GAAP measure results provide useful information because they reflect the Company's financial performance excluding certain charges, credits, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $61.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to a combined balance of $61.9 million as of December 31, 2008.

"Q1 was a difficult quarter across the board as the global recession impacted enterprise IT spending in a major way. Despite that, we felt fortunate to be able to generate a small (4.7%) profit margin on an operating basis," said Dr. Pehong Chen, President and CEO, BroadVision. "With a solid balance sheet, rigorous disciplinein cost control, and a strong product portfolio, we are heads-down, focused on delivering value in new solutions and services to our customers and are confident that we can thrive through the current downturn and come out stronger."
