SAN JOSE, Calif.—Feb. 28, 2008—BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAS), a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, today announced results of its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2008. BEA reported fourth quarter total revenues of $440.9 million, up 13% from last year’s fourth quarter. BEA reported fourth quarter license fees of $179.5 million, up 6% from a year ago, and services revenue of $261.4 million, up 17% from a year ago. BEA reported fourth quarter cash flow from operating activities of $123.0 million, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $3.4 million a year ago.

For the fourth quarter on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, BEA reported operating income of $87.7 million, compared to a loss of $148.3 million a year ago. BEA reported fourth quarter GAAP net income of $75.7 million, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.18, compared to a net loss of $99.7 million and a net loss per share of $0.25 a year ago.

For the fourth quarter on a non-GAAP basis, BEA reported operating income of $119.3 million and operating margin of 27.1%, compared to $92.5 million and 23.6% a year ago. BEA reported fourth quarter non-GAAP net income of $97.8 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.23, compared to $67.5 million and $0.16 per share a year ago. A description of the adjustments from GAAP to the non-GAAP presentation starts on page 3 of this release.

For the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2008, BEA reported total revenues of $1,535.8 million, a 10% increase over the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2007. BEA reported fiscal year license fees of $552.0 million, a 4% decrease compared to fiscal 2007, and services revenue of $983.8 million, a 19% increase over fiscal 2007.

20.9%, net income of $223.6 million and diluted net income per share of $0.55 for fiscal 2007. For fiscal 2008, BEA reported cash flow from operating activities of $366.9 million, compared to $204.4 million for fiscal 2007. BEA reported a balance of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash of $1.5 billion. BEA also reported deferred revenues of $477.0 million, up 6% from a year ago.

“In the fourth quarter, BEA achieved our best license performance ever,” said Alfred Chuang, chairman and chief executive officer, BEA Systems, Inc. “Our team remained focused on customer success and execution, and they delivered. I am very proud of the team and their performance.”

“Customers, including many large global brands, continued to adopt BEA technology as the foundation of their SOA architectures. Our customers have used BEA’s products to power some of their most innovative and demanding business solutions. As enterprises use SOA to transform their businesses, BEA products and expertise help them achieve their business objectives,” Chuang said. “In the fourth quarter, SOA governance and integration continued to be key drivers, as both new and continuing BEA customers adopt our SOA vision.”

Proposed Acquisition by Oracle

As previously disclosed, on February 27, 2008, the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) review period for Oracle Corporation’s proposed acquisition of BEA. Also as previously announced, BEA has scheduled a special meeting of its stockholders, to be held at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on Friday, April 4, 2008, to consider and vote on the proposed acquisition. The transaction still requires BEA stockholder approval and regulatory clearance from the European Commission and is subject to other closing conditions.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

This release includes non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share data. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with BEA’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and these measures should only be used to evaluate BEA’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income excluding, as applicable, acquisition-related asset amortization, acquisition-related deferred compensation, acquisition-related in-process research and development, FAS123R expense, restructuring and separation charges (including facilities consolidations), stock option review expenses, 409A, stock option modifications, employee stock purchase plan bonus, land impairment charges, strategic advisor expenses and tender offer expenses. Non-GAAP net income consists of non-GAAP operating income and excludes, as applicable, net gains on minority interests in equity investments and net gains on retirement of convertible subordinated notes. Non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that BEA would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results to calculate BEA’s tax liability. BEA may consider whether or not other items that arise in the future should also be adjusted from the non-GAAP financial measures reported.

Management believes it is useful in measuring BEA’s core continuing operations to exclude the following:

Acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, acquisition-related deferred compensation expense and acquisition-related in-process research and development expense because these costs are primarily fixed at the time of an acquisition and generally cannot be changed by management.

FAS123R expense because it enhances investors’ ability to review BEA’s business from the same perspective as BEA management, who believes that FAS123R expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of BEA’s core continuing operations since it is a non-cash charge.

Land impairment charges because this cost was a one-time charge and not related to core operations.

Expenses associated with or as a result of our stock option review and restatement. Stock option review expenses include third party expenses resulting from the review and restatement. 409A expenses associated with remedying current and former employees Internal Revenue Code 409A and equivalent state tax exposure. The employee stock purchase plan bonus relates to payments made to certain employees who were unable to participate in the employee stock purchase plan due to the inability of the Company to issue shares during the stock option investigation. Stock option modifications primarily due to the extension of stock option exercise periods for former employees and withholdings for income and employment taxes associated with “reclassified” and “modified” stock options from incentive stock options (ISO) to non-qualified stock options (NQSO). Tender offer expenses relating to payments made to employees to compensate for re-pricing of options. These expenses should be excluded because they resulted from non-core operations and were incurred primarily from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Strategic advisor expenses associated with shareholder activist activity, the Oracle acquisition offer and the related shareholder litigation. These expenses should be excluded because they result from non-core operations.

Management also believes it is useful to exclude gains on minority interest in equity investments and gains on retirement of convertible subordinated notes since these are not direct results from core continuing operations and, in the case of the minority interest in equity investments, are not under the control of BEA. The foregoing items excluded from BEA’s non-GAAP operations are consistently excluded by BEA’s management for internal planning and forecasting purposes as well as employee compensation decisions.

BEA believes that presenting its non-GAAP measures of operating income, net income and diluted net income per share provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the performance of BEA’s business, which management uses in its own evaluation of performance, and an additional base line for assessing the future earnings potential of BEA. While GAAP results are more complete, BEA believes it is valuable to allow investors to have this supplemental measure, with reconciliation to GAAP, since it may provide additional insight into our financial results.
