Total cash and cash equivalents were $4.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $7.5 million at June 30, 2009. The decrease in cash was primarily due to a $3.0 million repayment of existing bank borrowings. Cash provided by operations was $462,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to cash used in operations of $1.4 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. Days sales outstanding in receivables for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 were 52 days, compared to 44 days for the comparable year-ago quarter. Deferred revenues totaled $5.5 million at September 30, 2009 unchanged from June 30, 2009.

eGain’s revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 were negatively impacted by the reduced value of foreign currencies when compared to U.S. dollars. On a constant currency basis, using the exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2009, revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 would have been up approximately 4%, rather than down 2% when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

“We are pleased with our bookings to jumpstart fiscal 2010,” said Ashu Roy, eGain’s CEO. “Our earnings and cash flow improved significantly quarter-over-quarter. And we released eGain Service 9, our innovative Customer Interaction Hub suite, at our North America Customer Summit in Las Vegas.

Industry Recognition

• eGain was placed in the Leaders² quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for E-Service Suites 2009 report, authored by Johan Jacobs and Michael Maoz (published September 11, 2009).

• eGain Service was selected as KMWorld Trend-Setting Product of 2009

¹ We define New Hosting and License Bookings as new contractual commitments (excluding renewals) received by the company for the purchase of product licenses and hosting services.Such contracts are not cancelable for convenience but may be subject to termination by our customers for cause or breach of contract by us. Furthermore, because we offer a hybrid delivery model, the mix of new license and hosting business in a quarter could also have an impact on our revenue in a particular quarter. Due to effects that these trends have on our short-term revenue and profitability, we believe that it is useful to disclose New Hosting and License Bookings detail in this and future financial releases. We use this metric internally to focus management on the productivity of the sales team and period-to-period changes in our core business. Therefore, we believe that this information is meaningful and helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of our core operations.

² Gartner defines Magic Quadrant leaders as companies that “demonstrate market-defining vision and the ability to execute against that vision through products, services, demonstrable sales figures and solid new references for multiple geographies and vertical industries. Leaders provide functionally diverse and rich e-service suites that can be deployed and supported globally, and have at least five of the six e-service components supported by OEMs. They are suitable for all sizes and complexities of enterprises, and have broad industry coverage. Revenue is strong, and new references are readily available. When asked, their clients reply that this product has affected the organization’s competitive position in the market.”
