ARTEMIS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2003 FINANCIAL RESULTS Software revenue up 46% over prior year’s quarter   NEWPORT BEACH, CA - May 14, 2003 - Artemis International Solutions Corporation (OTCBB: AMSI), one of the leading providers of enterprise project and portfolio management software solutions, today reported its financial results for the first quarter 2003.
Artemis reported $16.2 million in total revenue for the first quarter of 2003, compared with $15.7 million for the first quarter of 2002 - an increase of 3%, reflecting favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Software license revenue totaled $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2003, compared with $3.1 million in the same quarter of 2002. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared with an EBITDA loss of $0.5 million for the prior year quarter.
US GAAP reported net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, was $0.9 million, or $(0.09) per common share; an improvement of $1.2 million from the net loss of $(2.1) million, or $(0.21) per common share, for the comparable 2002 period. The Company generated $1.4 million in positive cash flow from operations during the first quarter of 2003, which represented the third consecutive quarter of positive cash flows from operations; ending the quarter with $7.4 million in cash.
The 46% year over year increase in software revenues was largely attributable to the new Artemis Portfolio Management product and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The increase in software revenues and more efficient customer support deliver helped gross margins improve to 55% of revenues as compared to 50% of revenues for the prior year’s quarter. G&A expenses dropped to by over $1 million versus the prior year’s quarter, to 16% of revenues, as a result of aggressive, worldwide cost cutting and head count reductions, and divestitures of non-core assets being realized.
The Company has scheduled a conference call to discuss its results for the quarter on May 14, 2003, at 5:00 p.m. (EDT). Michael Rusert, President and Chief Executive Officer of Artemis, and Robert Stefanovich, Chief Financial Officer of Artemis, will host the call and will be available to answer questions.
