ACTIVCARD REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER REVENUES
· | Wins In Government and Enterprise Sectors Drive Sequential Revenues 25% Higher |
· | Drive Towards Profitability Ahead of Expectation with Substantial Reduction in Net Loss and Cash Burn Rate |
FREMONT, CA – November 4, 2002 – ActivCard® (NASDAQ: ACTI/NASDAQ EUROPE: ACTI), the leader in IDentity Management (IDM) software, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, ActivCard reported its third sequential quarterly revenue increase, achieving record revenues of $12.0 million, an increase of 25% over the $9.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2002. Third quarter 2002 revenues were also 36% higher than third quarter revenues in the comparable quarter a year ago.
Pro forma net loss for the quarter was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to pro forma net loss of $3.0 million or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2002 and $2.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2001. Pro forma net loss for the quarter excludes acquisition-related charges, re-incorporation costs, deferred stock compensation, restructuring charges, foreign exchange gains and losses, and the loss from discontinued operations. Actual GAAP net loss for the quarter was $2.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2002 and $3.8 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2001.
“We are very pleased with the record revenues we achieved in the third quarter and our continued focus on expense controls has improved the bottom line,” commented ActivCard Chief Executive Officer Steven Humphreys. “We are well on our way to achieving our previously stated objectives of 30-35% year-over-year revenue growth and cash flow breakeven from continuing operations in the fourth quarter.
Third Quarter 2002 Highlights
Highlights of the third quarter of 2002 included:
· | Announced Microsoft® Corporation as a customer for ActivCard Identity Management Software™ (AIMS) and digital ID badge solutions.

The companies also are planning joint marketing of security solutions built around ActivCard software and Microsoft’s Active Directory™ and the Windows® .NET architecture. |

· | Chosen by Northrop Grumman to fulfill its digital identity software procurement needs through NASA’s Scientific and Engineering Workstation Procurement III (SEWP) contract. |
· | Announced our new Corporate Access Card™ (CAC) solution, a modular suite of software and hardware products for enterprise identity badge deployments, using proven technology initially developed for the U.S. DoD. |
· | Won a major Japanese automobile manufacturer customer and deployed 26,000 Corporate Access Cards to its employees with another 20,000 planned in the near future. |
· | Won additional business with Hewlett-Packard as HP expanded its deployment of our Corporate Access Card (CAC) solution placing new orders for ActivCard IDM products and services. |

· | Launched the AIMS product line, a web-based smart card provisioning and management system based on industry standards. Recognized first customer revenue from AIMS during the quarter and initiated five pilots, of which four are enterprise and one is government. |
· | Announced the availability of ActivPack™ 5.1, our AAA authentication server and remote access solution, which is the first to directly connect into LDAP enterprise directories. |
· | Filed Form S-4 with the SEC for the purpose of re-incorporating our listed company from the Republic of France to the United States. |
Mr. Humphreys added, “We were successful delivering our IDM solutions to new government and enterprise customers worldwide and several of our existing customers within the DoD expanded deployments in the third quarter. We also brought three new products and solutions to market targeted at the enterprise segment and sharpened our focus on digital ID cards, remote access and local access in our solution offering. We believe we are well positioned to continue to increase market share, increase revenue and drive to profitability.”

Fourth Quarter and 2002 Outlook
In the fourth quarter, we expect revenues to range between $12.0 million and $13.0 million. Pro forma net loss per share is expected to range between $0.00 and $0.03. Actual GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter is expected to range between $0.07 and $0.11 per share, which will reflect incremental costs related to our re-incorporation of the Company in the United States. We reiterate our earlier guidance of 30-35% year-over-year revenue growth and cash flow break-even from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2002.
ActivCard will hold a conference call at 11 a.m. EDT on November 4, 2002, featuring Mr. Humphreys and Chief Financial Officer Blair Geddes, to discuss these third quarter results.
