Zix Corporation Announces First Quarter 2004 Financial Results
DALLAS — May 4, 2004 —Zix Corporation (ZixCorp®), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), a global provider of e-messaging protection and transaction services, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004. ZixCorp recorded first quarter revenues of $2,843,000, an increase of 345% compared to $639,000 in the first quarter of 2003. ZixCorp recorded a first quarter 2004 net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.8 million, or $0.36 per share, for the corresponding quarter of 2003. Excluding one-time charges, ZixCorp recorded a net loss of $9.0 million or $0.30 per share. Cash and marketable securities balances as of March 31, 2004, were $24.1 million. The company booked new orders of $9.2 million in the quarter compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2003 representing a 384% increase year on year.
“The first quarter of 2004 was an exceptionally busy and pivotal quarter in ZixCorp’s history,” said John Ryan, chairman and chief executive officer of ZixCorp. “We completed the acquisition and integration of MyDocOnline™, won selection by Microsoft for the groundbreaking WellPoint initiative, realigned resources towards more customer-facing roles, signed our first major pharmaceutical customer, released our next-generation anti-spam product, and maintained the progress in our communication protection line of business. In all, we asked the ZixCorp team to deliver across a broad spectrum of initiatives and I am very proud of our results.”

Financial Highlights for the Quarter
Revenues:Revenues were $2.8 million in the first quarter 2004, which was a 45% increase over the fourth quarter 2003. The revenue increase was across all product lines: secure messaging, Message Inspector/Web Inspector™, PocketScript™, and from the addition of the MyDocOnline products. For the quarter, MyDocOnline products contributed $123,000 in revenue from two months of activity.
Costs:In the first quarter, ZixCorp’s operating costs totaled $13.6 million, which included $3.0 million in non-cash items. This is compared with total operating costs (cash and non-cash) of $10.2 million in the fourth quarter 2003. The increase in costs is from the inclusion of MyDocOnline for two months, which had an impact of $1.7 million, one-time charges for employee termination costs of $1.5 million, and another one-time charge of $152,000 of in-process R&D expenses related to the MyDocOnline acquisition. The termination charges are part of an initiative to shift resources and investment from overhead areas to positions closer to the customer, such as sales, deployment specialists, and customer service representatives. The net savings from this initiative are more than $2.2 million a year that will be utilized for the customer-facing increases mentioned earlier.
Balance Sheet:At quarter-end, the company’s cash and marketable securities totaled $24.1 million. Cash used in the quarter was affected by the acquisition of MyDocOnline, which had net cash utilization from two months of operations of approximately $1.3 million. This was in line with expectations and the company plans for rapid improvement in the cash flow from the acquisition over the next few quarters. The expenditures in the first quarter for property and equipment totaled $883,000, which was ahead of the company’s normal run rate of $500,000 a quarter.

The increase was primarily related to additional investment in the ZixSecure Center. With this investment, ZixCorp can now transfer data center activity for MyDocOnline to the ZixSecure Center, which will result in a savings of $1.0 million a year as MyDocOnline had previously been paying a third party for data center services. Transfer of service to the ZixSecure Center will be completed in the second quarter of 2004.
In the first quarter, the company had stock option and warrant exercises by employees, former employees, and private placement investors, which delivered $11.0 million in cash and resulted in 1,403,647 shares of common stock being issued. Additionally, subsequent to March 31, 2004, ZixCorp received another $9.3 million in cash from warrant and option exercises and an additional 868,486 shares of common stock were issued.
Accounting for the MyDocOnline Acquisition
On January 30, 2004, ZixCorp announced that it had acquired substantially all of the assets and business of MyDocOnline from Aventis Pharmaceuticals for 583,411 shares of common stock valued at $9.0 million and warrants to purchase 145,853 shares of ZixCorp’s common stock, which were valued at $1.5 million. The total purchase price was $10.8 million, including acquisition costs of $0.3 million. Additionally, the company received $4.0 million in cash from Aventis representing prepayment for services and $3.0 million in cash in the form of a loan, which may be repaid in cash, common stock, or services. The company determined the preliminary accounting value of the purchase price as the difference between the cash received and the total purchase price. The resulting amount of $3.8 million was allocated to the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. Because the fair value of the liabilities associated with the $3.0 million loan payable and $4.0 million services order are not yet reasonably determinable, these amounts are not reflected on the company’s balance sheet at this time. As the value of these liabilities becomes determinable, the associated amounts will be included in liabilities and the purchase price allocation will be updated, as permitted under GAAP.
Financial Outlook
For the second quarter 2004, ZixCorp expects revenue in the $3.4 to $3.8 million range and an ending cash balance of at least $24.0 million.
