EX-99.1 3 ex99-1.txt AUGUST 13, 2002 PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 Commtouch Reports Q2 2002 Results MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 13, 2002--Commtouch (Nasdaq: CTCH - NEWS), a vendor of highly scalable messaging solutions to service providers, today announced results for the second quarter of 2002. Of particular note was the fact that the cash as at June 30, 2002 was approximately $1.7 million. Gideon Mantel, CEO of the Company noted that "This is proof that our strategy of effecting determined cost cutting measures, downsizing and refocusing of the business goals has been successful." Revenues for the quarter were $1.0 million compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter and $3.8 million in the comparable quarter last year. Total loss for the quarter was $0.7 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior quarter and $ 8.5 million in the comparable quarter last year. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $2.3 million compared to $7.5 million in the comparable period last year. Total loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.6 million compared to $25.7 million in the comparable period last year. Mr. Mantel added, "While we continue to make efforts to penetrate the market with the recently completed new version of our highly scalable messaging software platform ("CMP"), we realize that service providers are being extremely selective in their choices of which capital investments to move forward with in this difficult economic climate. We continue to believe that CMP is a superior product that will offer service providers cost savings over the long haul, and are hopeful that market conditions will improve to a point where business in the pipeline has a greater potential for closure. More importantly, though, CMP was built with unique security and anti-spam capabilities that we have been looking more recently to exploit, especially in light of the worldwide attention that has been directed to the problem and cost of spam and virus control. Initial reactions to Commtouch's proprietary solution have been positive, and we believe that CMP, either as a messaging platform or as an anti-spam/anti-virus solution, or as a combined solution, has significant potential." In the near future, the Company expects to announce its roadmap, product and business strategy.
