PLEASANTON, Calif., Apr 19, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Commerce One, Inc.
(Nasdaq: CMRC), the e-marketplace company, today announced financial results for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
Revenues for the current quarter totaled $170.3 million, an increase of 386
percent over revenues of $35.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2001, excluding acquisition related
costs, interest, taxes and other non-cash charges, was $25.5 million, or $0.11
per share, as compared to $14.0 million, or $0.09 per share, for the
corresponding quarter in 2000.
Including amortization of goodwill and other charges, the net loss for the
current quarter was $228.5 million, or $1.02 per share, as compared with a net
loss of $43.6 million, or $0.29 per share, for the corresponding quarter in
2000.
"We believe the current pressure to improve productivity and profits plays
directly into our value proposition as the e-marketplace company," said Mark
Hoffman, chairman and chief executive officer of Commerce One. "This is what is
driving the demand for public and private e-marketplaces, and we believe
Commerce One is in the sweet spot to fulfill this demand."
Quarterly Highlights
Commerce One achieved the following milestones during the first quarter of 2001:
-- Commerce One added 63 new customers for the quarter, bringing the total
customer count to 567 (excluding SAP customers who have received shipments of
Enterprise Buyer, the joint procurement solution).
-- Commerce One's Global Trading Web, the world's largest B2B trading community,
continued its rapid expansion and today includes 157 e-marketplaces, 80 of which
are currently operational.
-- Commerce One extended its global leadership position with a number of new
e-marketplaces including ChinaEB, Japan e-Market and Westdeutsche Landesbank
(WestLB) in Germany. Also, Commerce One and SAPMarkets announced several new
joint customers including Eutilia (pan-European), IBS (Russia), IWayTrade
(Portugal), Swisscom (Switzerland) and TPSA (Poland).
-- Commerce One and SAPMarkets delivered their joint solutions, MarketSet(TM)
and Enterprise Buyer(TM). The joint solutions combine the Commerce One
MarketSite operating environment with e-procurement, supply chain, product
planning and analysis applications from SAP and SAPMarkets.
-- Commerce One announced the fourth generation of MarketSite, the e-marketplace
operating environment. MarketSite supports interoperability between
e-marketplaces, making possible the Global Trading Web.
-- Commerce One announced a definitive agreement to acquire Exterprise, whose
technology is expected to accelerate the creation and integration of custom
marketplace applications based on MarketSite. These applications will support
cross-business-unit and multi-enterprise process automation, a key facet of
industrial, regional and especially enterprise e-marketplaces. The Exterprise
acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close
in the second quarter of 2001.
-- Commerce One announced the formal launch of Commerce One Global Services,
which offers strategic consulting, software and services to facilitate the rapid
adoption, deployment and implementation of global e-marketplaces.
In addition, Commerce One today announced that its Board of Directors adopted a
Stockholders' Rights Plan. The plan is designed to assure stockholders fair
value in the event of a future unsolicited business combination or similar
transaction involving the company. The plan was not adopted in response to any
attempts to acquire the company, and the company is not aware of any such
efforts.
Under the plan, Commerce One will issue a dividend of one right for each share
of common stock of the company held by stockholders of record as of the close of
business on April 30, 2001. The rights will initially trade with Commerce One's
common stock. Each right will entitle stockholders to purchase a fractional
share of Commerce One's preferred stock for an exercise price of $70. However,
the rights are not immediately exercisable and will generally become exercisable
if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of
Commerce One's common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer upon
consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own 15 percent or
more of Commerce One's common stock. The rights will become exercisable by
holders, other than the unsolicited third party acquirer, for shares of Commerce
One or of the third party acquirer having a value of twice the right's
then-current exercise price. The rights are redeemable by Commerce One and will
expire on April 18, 2011.
Further details of the plan will be described in filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and in a letter that will be mailed to stockholders as of
the record date.
