The SCO Group Announces Second Quarter 2007 Results
LINDON, Utah — June 5, 2007 — The SCO Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOX), a leading provider of UNIX® software technology and mobile services, today reported results for its second quarter ended April 30, 2007.
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $6,014,000, down from $7,126,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $(1,143,000), or $(0.05) per diluted common share, an improvement over the net loss of $(4,694,000), or $(0.22) per diluted common share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year. Revenue for the first two quarters of fiscal year 2007 was $12,029,000, down from $14,469,000 for the first two quarters of the prior fiscal year and the net loss for the first two quarters of fiscal year 2007 was $(2,167,000), or $(0.10) per diluted common share, an improvement over the net loss of $(9,275,000), or $(0.45) per diluted common share for the first two quarters of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to continued competitive pressures on the Company’s UNIX products and services and the improvement in net loss was primarily attributable to reduced legal costs and operating expenses.
“Even though competition continues to impact our revenue, we are pleased that our legal costs and operating expenses are lower than the comparable prior periods which improved our financial results,” said Darl McBride, president and CEO. “We are committed to our strategy of serving our UNIX customers, developing innovative new mobile technologies and protecting our valuable intellectual property.”
Legal and related costs incurred in connection with the Company’s litigation were $1,066,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, which was down significantly from costs of $3,762,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior year. Because of the unique and unpredictable nature of the Company’s litigation, the occurrence and timing of litigation-related costs is difficult to predict, and will be difficult to predict in the future. While the Company expects to continue to incur legal costs related to its ongoing litigation during the 2007 fiscal year, the Company’s expectation is that fiscal 2007 costs will be less than they were for the 2006 fiscal year.

 


 

Cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities and restricted cash to be used for certain legal expenditures totaled $11,181,000 as of April 30, 2007, compared to $12,664,000 as of October 31, 2006.
The Company’s Business
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company worked closely with customers and partners to offer new solutions to the marketplace. The Company announced that it had partnered with April System Design and Alpha Micro to help customers extend the life of their UNIX applications. Through this partnership, customers can convert their green screen UNIX applications to a modern new graphical interface without the need to rewrite applications or make large investments in software development. This saves customers valuable time and money by allowing them to stay on their familiar and reliable SCO UNIX platform while continuing to use their existing applications.
The Company recently announced a new release of HipCheck, a unique mobile technology designed to remotely control and manage UNIX and Windows server and PC systems. The new version of HipCheck extends the product’s capabilities in terms of feature sets and the number of mobile handheld devices that are supported.
At the recent CTIA Wireless Show, the Company exhibited many of its current and beta mobile technologies, including a soon to be released mobile technology that enables users to manage their life on the go. The Company’s latest release of Shout Postcard received favorable press coverage and product reviews during the CTIA Wireless Show. Shout Postcard is the Company’s new mobile technology for sharing life’s moments on the go with a personalized, multimedia postcard. Shout Postcard creates a rich, mobile experience by combining pictures, audio and text into a unique postcard that users can share through e-mail or other smart phones. A free download and more information on Shout Postcard may be obtained by visiting www.shoutpostcard.com.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements contained in this press release regarding (i) our commitment to our UNIX business, moving forward with our mobile services and defending our intellectual property rights, (ii) our expectation that our legal costs will be less in fiscal 2007 than in

 


 

fiscal 2006, and (iii) other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We wish to advise readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, continued competitive pressure on the Company’s operating system products, which could impact the Company’s results of operations, adverse developments in and increased or unforeseen legal costs related to the Company’s litigation, the inability to devote sufficient resources to the development and marketing of the Company’s products, including the Me Inc. mobile services and development platform, and the possibility that companies with whom the Company has formed partnerships will decide to terminate, or reduce the resources devoted to, their partnership with the Company. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated are discussed in more detail in the Company’s periodic and current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 and Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2007.
