FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2001
GENESYS CONFERENCING CONTINUES TO SEE
SIGNIFICANT GLOBAL VOLUME INCREASES
Global Daily Volumes Now Up 58%
Bedford, Mass. and Montpellier, France--October 9, 2001--Genesys Conferencing
(Euronext: 3955 and Nasdaq: GNSY), the world's leading conferencing specialist,
today announced it continued to experience significant volume increases globally
for its services. Compared with daily levels seen the week prior to September
11, 2001, all services combined registered a 58% increase in terms of volume on
a global basis for the week ended September 30, 2001. This increase was on top
of the 45% jump reported for the week ended September 23, 2001.
According to the company, while the volume for attended services sustained the
higher level seen during the week ended September 23, 2001, automated services
volumes continued to see high double-digit growth, posting a 76% increase on a
global basis. In North America, the expansion of automated services was more
dramatic, with volumes increasing 130%.
Francois Legros, chairman and chief executive officer of Genesys Conferencing,
said, "It is significant that automated services continue to show the highest
growth rates of all of our products. Automated services generate very high
margins--in excess of 70%--and have and will continue to be the main driver of
our revenue and margin expansion." Legros added that Genesys was able to handle
the increased volume utilizing current resources, and did not have to incur
additional sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
While Legros is optimistic that conferencing will continue to enjoy strong
growth worldwide, he cautioned that it was too soon to confirm if volume
increases of this magnitude could be sustained.
