BroadVision Announces Profitable Second Quarter 2009 Results

REDWOOD CITY, CA — July 29, 2009 — BroadVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: BVSN), a global provider of strategic e-business solutions, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Revenues for the second quarter were $8.2 million, compared with revenues of $8.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 and $8.0 million for the comparable quarter of 2008, respectively. 
 
License revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $3.2 million, compared with $2.9 million for the prior quarter and $2.4 million for the comparable quarter of 2008.  The majority of the second quarter license and subscription revenue was generated from the Company's core BroadVision® Business Agility Suite™, Commerce Agility Suite™, and QuickSilver™ solutions. The customers include Bank of Ayudhya, Bombardier, IBERIA L.A.E., Hewlett Packard Polska SP., Guidance International, Cardinal Health, Inc., Highmark BCBS, Rockwell Collins, The Education Center, and several other brand name global customers.

In the second quarter of 2009, BroadVision posted net income on a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) basis of $2.1 million, or $0.48 per basic and diluted share, as compared with GAAP net loss of $626,000, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009 and GAAP net income of $1.4 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable quarter of 2008.  .

Non-GAAP measure net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $2.4 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, compared with non-GAAP measure net loss of $336,000, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2009 and non-GAAP measure net income of $1.1 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable quarter of 2008.  These non-GAAP measure results exclude restructuring credit, stock compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) and revaluation of warrant liabilities.  A reconciliation of these figures to GAAP net income (loss) 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 June 30, 2009, the Company had $62.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to a combined balance of $61.1 million as of March 31, 2009 and $61.9 million as of December 31, 2008.


“We are satisfied with our Q2 results, especially in our profit margins in both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of 25.7% and 29.4%, respectively,” said Dr. Pehong Chen, President and CEO, BroadVision.  “Furthermore, at the end of June we successfully launched Clearvale, a new brand of enterprise social network solution, which has been gaining great momentum in the market.  We believe this compelling Web 2.0 service represents the best upside potential for global organizations to transform themselves into ‘Enterprise 2.0’, becoming more productive, innovative, customer-centric, and most importantly, capable of driving sustainable, long-term growths.”
