“Siebel Systems’ third quarter results reflect progress against the goals we established six months ago to improve our revenue generation capability, better align our cost structure with the scale of our business, and invest in the products and technology that will keep Siebel at the forefront of the CRM industry,” said George T. Shaheen, Chief Executive Officer of Siebel Systems. “Our improved performance in the third quarter also reflects customer confidence in the future of Siebel CRM following the proposed Oracle transaction. In the third quarter, we met or exceeded our revenue guidance, achieved year over year revenue growth across the board and exceeded our goals in all geographic regions. We also achieved our target non-GAAP operating margin of 15%, ahead of our original plan, by meeting our headcount reduction objectives and containing total expenses to our target for the quarter and thereby growing profitability over our guidance and the levels achieved in the prior quarter and the third quarter of last year. We are proud of Siebel’s employees for their focus, their professionalism and our improved performance.”
Shaheen continued, “At CustomerWorld in Boston last week, we hosted thousands of customers, prospects and partners. In keeping with our commitment to invest for continued product and technology leadership, we officially launched the next generation of CRM innovation, Siebel Customer Adaptive Solutions, and we introduced Siebel Component Assembly and Siebel Business Analytics 7.8 as key elements of this new strategy. We believe customers and partners are responding favorably to our continued product innovation and leadership, and the expectation that, following completion of the proposed Oracle transaction, Siebel solutions will remain at the core of the combined company’s CRM strategy. We remain dedicated to serving our more than four thousand customers and our growing community of over 3.7 million live users.”

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Future operating results of Siebel Systems, Inc. may differ from that forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to factors that include, but are not limited to, risks associated with our pending merger with Oracle Corporation, financial, economic, political and other uncertainties, the business software applications market, dependence on the Internet, risks associated with new versions and new products and risks associated with rapid technological change. Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of Siebel Systems, Inc. are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available atwww.sec.gov. Siebel Systems assumes no obligation to update the information in this press release.
1 The company historically uses the non-GAAP financial measures of operating margin, operating income, pre-tax margin and pre-tax income discussed above to evaluate internally and to report results of its business. Siebel Systems believes that these measures best allow its management and investors to understand its activities and potential activities with customers. Siebel Systems believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results, as well as comparability to similar companies in the company’s industry, most of which present the same or similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
GAAP financial results include $8.5 million in restructuring and other third quarter charges primarily related to facilities actions. GAAP financial results also include $5.9 million in third quarter charges related to the UpShot acquisition earn out and legal expenses associated with the pending Oracle transaction. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude both of these amounts. The company believes that providing specific financial information on all charges, including amounts included and excluded from GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, best allows investors to understand both third quarter restructuring and other measures and the company’s ongoing business activities during the quarter.
Management believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed herein.
