Real Networks Gewinnwarnung - 2 Cents/4 Cents

Weaker-Than-Expected Results

     SEATTLE (Reuters) - Internet media software company RealNetworks Inc.
     (NasdaqNM:RNWK - news) warned on Wednesday that its revenue and
     earnings for the fourth quarter will fall short of expectations due to the current
     weak market for Internet-related spending.

     The company said it expects to report fourth-quarter pro forma diluted
     earnings per share of around 2 cents and revenue in the range of $58 million
     to $60 million.

     Wall Street analysts on average had expected the company to earn 4 cents a
     share in the fourth quarter.

     ``We are not immune to the current market environment for Internet-related spending, and we've made
     adjustments to our near-term growth expectations. At the same time, we remain highly confident in our
     fundamentals, leadership position, and long-term prospects,'' Rob Glaser, the company's chairman and chief
     executive officer, said in a statement.

     The company also announced that more than 125,000 consumers have become paying subscribers to its Gold
     Pass service combining premium audio and video content, software, games and services.
