EVOLVING SYSTEMS REPORTS 2003 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

$1.3 Million Net Income Marks Company’s Fourth Consecutive Profitable Quarter

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado — Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ-EVOL), a provider of innovative software solutions for operations, enhanced services and systems integration to many of the largest communications companies in the U.S., today reported profitable growth for both its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2003.

Second Quarter Results

Evolving Systems reported its fourth consecutive profitable quarter with net income of $1.3 million, or $0.09 per basic share and $0.08 per diluted share, in the period ended June 30, 2003, compared with a net loss of $7.4 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, in the same quarter a year ago. The Company’s improved bottom line was attributable to higher revenue combined with a sharply lower expense base. The Company’s cash balance at June 30, 2003 was $16.7 million.

Revenue in the second quarter increased 40% to $6.4 million from $4.6 million in the second quarter last year. Revenue from license fees and services increased 63% to nearly $3.2 million while customer support revenue grew by 23% to approximately $3.3 million. As expected, on a sequential basis, second quarter revenue was down by 25% from $8.6 million in the first quarter when the Company recognized revenue of approximately $1.6 million from a large LNP contract and reported that the first quarter would likely be the highest revenue quarter of the year.

Total costs of revenue and operating expenses in the second quarter were reduced by 56% to $5.2 million compared with $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2002, when the Company recorded $4.0 million in restructuring and other expenses relating to restructuring its headquarters building lease, the closure of its satellite field offices, fixed asset write-downs and expenses associated with reductions in work force. Sequentially, total costs of revenue and operating expenses declined by approximately $300,000 from the first quarter, underscoring the Company’s commitment to carefully managing its costs and maintaining profitable operations on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s backlog at June 30, 2003 was $11.7 million. That figure is comprised of $4.9 million in license fees and services, up from $3.9 million in the first quarter, and $6.8 million in customer support. Evolving Systems added $4.0 million in new bookings to backlog in the second quarter, including orders from major wireline and wireless carriers for software licenses and integration services related to the Company’s number portability and number inventory solutions. Since most customer support is contracted on an annual basis, customer support backlog will decline each quarter until the contracts are renewed at year end. Customer support backlog in the second quarter declined $3.4 million from the first quarter.

Six-Month Results

For the six-month period ended June 30, the Company reported net income of $4.4 million, or $0.32 per basic share and $0.29 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $14.3 million, or $1.07 per basic and diluted share, in the same period a year ago. The Company’s solid profitability was attributable to a transition to a solutions business model, which resulted in stronger revenue and a dramatic decrease in operating expenses.

Revenue in the six-month period increased 67% to $15.0 million from $9.0 million in the comparable period last year. Revenue from license fees and services increased 111% to nearly $8.2 million while customer support revenue grew by 34% to approximately $6.8 million.

Total costs of revenue and operating expenses through six months were reduced by 54% to $10.8 million compared with $23.3 million in the same period in 2002. This improvement, which totaled $12.6 million, reflected significant cost reductions in all expense categories.

CEO Comments

“We are very pleased with our financial results through the first half of the year, particularly in light of a telecommunications industry that has yet to show strong signs of recovery,” said George Hallenbeck, chairman and CEO. “It’s important to note that both our backlog and revenue growth are being driven primarily by increases in license fees and services, which are indicative of continued sales success.

“We believe our results reflect an ability to offer and deliver value-oriented solutions to a customer base suffering from the telecommunications downturn while at the same time managing our own cost structure in a way that ensures financial stability and staying power for Evolving Systems,” Hallenbeck added. “Our short-term objectives in 2003 are to sustain profitability and to position the Company for long-term, predictable, profitable growth.”

Hallenbeck also commented on the much anticipated commencement of wireless number portability (WNP), scheduled for nationwide implementation on November 24, 2003. “It now seems likely that WNP will begin in November since the appeal filed by wireless carriers to delay implementation was denied by the federal appeals court,” Hallenbeck said. “Most wireless carriers have already made their purchase decisions regarding WNP software solutions, and Evolving Systems has a solid position in this market. On a going-forward basis, we believe we will continue to benefit from WNP implementation . In the short run, we foresee opportunities to assist carriers with testing and integration. In the long run, we believe that actual carrier experience with WNP may lead to industry changes to the porting process, just as has happened with wireline porting. This would allow us to offer enhancements to our portability products for both our wireless and wireline customers.”

Hallenbeck will discuss WNP in more detail during the Company’s earnings conference call.

Outlook

Based on year-to-date results, Evolving Systems is raising its full-year revenue guidance to $27.0 million to $28.0 million versus prior guidance of $25.5 to $26.5 million. The Company expects its 2003 operating expense base to be in the range of $21.5 to $22.5 million and believes it will remain profitable quarter to quarter during the second half of the year. In the third quarter Evolving Systems expects revenue in the range of $6.0 to $7.0 million, with the low end of the range based on booked business scheduled for third quarter delivery and the high end based on revenue potential from new business booked during the period. The Company’s cash position will likely decline over the next two quarters as the Company delivers on its prepaid annual customer support obligations, although the year-end cash balance is expected to be at a higher level than at 2002 year end. Evolving Systems believes its 2003 business plan is fully funded, with no additional capital required.
