GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 includes a benefit of $0.1
million from the reversal of restructuring reserves and a net benefit of

recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 was $5.4 million,
or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $0.3 million, or
$0.03 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004.
On a non-GAAP basis the Company reported net income of $2.3 million, or
$0.17 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to
non-GAAP net income of $2.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the same
quarter last year and non-GAAP net income of $1.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted
share, in the prior quarter.
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 was $7.2
million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $4.0 million, or $0.34 per
diluted share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the amortization of
intangible assets and stock compensation expense, as well as the benefits
associated with the aforementioned reversal of restructuring reserves and stock
compensation expense.
Blue Coat ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments, and restricted investments totaling $49.1 million, an increase of
$3.3 million from the prior quarter.
"Our strong performance in the fourth quarter is a result of our continued
investments in our infrastructure and successful execution in increasing our
presence," said Brian NeSmith, president and CEO of Blue Coat. "As such, we will
continue to make the appropriate investments in sales and marketing as we
continue to expand our market leadership."
Operating Highlights
-- New Customers -- Blue Coat signed on more than 300 new customers in the
quarter, and experienced strong growth in all geographic markets. New customers
include T-Mobile, Aon, Amtrak, and Micron Technology.
-- New CFO Appointed -- Blue Coat strengthened its executive management team
in the quarter with the addition of Kevin Royal as the company's new chief
financial officer. Royal assumes leadership for Blue Coat's worldwide finance
organization, including accounting and reporting, strategic planning, treasury,
tax, audit, and investor relations. Royal comes to Blue Coat with exceptional
leadership, corporate finance and investor relations experience, having most
recently served as chief financial officer at Novellus Systems, a leader in
semiconductor capital equipment.
-- Branch Office Proxy Appliance -- Blue Coat recently introduced the
ProxySG(TM) 200 Series appliance, a proxy appliance that extends Web security to
the branch office. The ProxySG 200 is the newest member of the Blue Coat family
of proxy appliances that allows the enterprise IT organization to extend the Web
policy controls in place at headquarters out to the branch. The appliance is
built upon Blue Coat's SGOS custom operating system designed for
high-performance Web object handling, and contains all the same powerful
features and functionality found in Blue Coat's 400, 800 and 8000 Series proxy
appliances.
-- Spyware Prevention Appliance -- Blue Coat introduced Spyware
Interceptor(TM), built to be the industry's most effective anti-spyware
appliance for networks with 1,000 users or less. Spyware Interceptor is built on
Blue Coat's proxy technology, and comes in an easy-to-deploy and affordable
appliance form-factor. The appliance utilizes SCOPE(TM) (Spyware Catching Object
Protection Engine) technology to prevent both known and unknown forms of spyware
at the gateway, which uniquely allows access to legitimate Web applications and
the ability to safely view spyware-laden Web sites without becoming infected.
Financial Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2006 ending July 31, 2005, the Company
currently anticipates sequential growth in net sales of 12% - 15%. Non-GAAP net
income is expected to be $2.3 - $3.1 million, or $0.17 - $0.22 per diluted
share. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes the amortization of
intangible assets and stock compensation expense. Giving effect to these
exclusions, diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis is expected to be in the
range of $0.15 - $0.20.
Blue Coat historically uses the non-GAAP financial measures of income
discussed above for internal evaluation and to report the results of its
business. Blue Coat believes that these measures best allow its management,
board of directors and investors to understand its activities and business
results. The Company believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial
measures provide consistency and comparability with past reports of financial
results, as well as comparability to other companies in its industry, most of
whom present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
