REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. -- April 25, 2007 -- BroadVision, Inc. (Pink Sheets: BVSN), a global provider of e-business solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenues for the quarter were $12.7 million, compared with revenues of $13.0 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 and $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2006.
License revenue for the first quarter was $5.7 million versus $4.0 million in the prior quarter and $2.9 million in the comparable quarter of 2006. The majority of the first quarter license revenue was generated from the company's core Commerce and Portal solutions from customers including Finnair, Prime Polymer, Standard Bank of Argentina, Vodafone Omnitel, and several other brand name global customers.
In the first quarter of 2007, BroadVision posted a net loss on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") basis of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per share, as compared with GAAP net income of $7.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006 and GAAP net income of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2006.
The Company's GAAP net loss was primarily due to a $6.7 million non-cash charge from the revaluation of the Company's outstanding warrants previously issued to certain holders to purchase approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock with a strike price of $1.48 per share. GAAP requires that the liabilityfor these warrants be "marked to market" at the end of each financial reporting period. The Company's substantially appreciated stock price during the first quarter has contributed to the significant non-cash charge. If and when all these warrants are exercised, the company would receive approximately $6.2 million in cash.
Pro forma net income for the first quarter of 2007 was $5.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with a pro forma net income of $6.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006 and a pro forma net income of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2006. These pro forma results exclude restructuring charges, gain (loss) on change in derivatives, stock compensation expense under SFAS 123R, and revaluation of warrant liabilities. A reconciliation of these pro forma figures to GAAP net income figures is included in a table on the attached financial statements. The Company believes its pro forma results provide useful information because they reflect the Company's financial performance excluding certain charges, credits, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations.
As of March 31, 2007, the company had a cash balance of $41.0 million, representing a $4.0 million, or 11%, increase over the December 31, 2006 balance of $37.0 million, due primarily to positive cash flow generated from operations.
"Despite the first quarter GAAP net loss due primarily to a larger-than-normal non-cash warrant revaluation charge as the Company's stock price appreciated 245% during the quarter, our team continued to generate solid results," said Dr. Pehong Chen, President and CEO, BroadVision. "We are on track in delivering exciting new products and remain very focused on driving the Company forward according to the strategic roadmap announced during the first quarter."
