Jacada Reports Record Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2007 Results

Annual revenue grows 57% for call center business, with record revenue and backlog reported in fourth quarter

Meets Guidance for full year 2007 revenues for combined operations

Raises outlook for continuing operations to $20 million to $22 million in revenues for full year 2008

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq: JCDA), a leading provider of unified desktop and process optimization solutions for customer service operations, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company:

-- Announced, on December 20, 2007, the sale of its application modernization (legacy) business to Software AG for gross proceeds of $26 million in cash, including approximately $3 million to be held in escrow. The transaction closed on January 1, 2008.
-- Announced that Paul O'Callaghan will become the CEO of Jacada effective January 1, 2008, and Gideon Hollander will become Chairman of the Board.
-- Signed contracts with 3 new telecommunications customers, including:
-- A material contract with O2 UK, a leading provider of mobile telecommunications services to consumers and businesses in the United Kingdom.
-- A contract with a major telecommunications provider in Canada.
-- A contract with a premiere telecommunications provider in Eastern Europe.
-- Signed a material contract with a major North American insurance company.
-- Announced that Station Casinos selected the Jacada Unified Service Desktop Solution to create a unified interface and desktop for their guest service agents.
-- Announced that Guy Tweedale was hired to lead European operations.

“We are extremely pleased to report a strong year comprised of solid execution and rapid growth, as evidenced in our financial performance, which tracked well according to plan,” commented Paul O’Callaghan, chief executive officer for Jacada. “Including revenues from our legacy business, we achieved record annual revenues of $25.8 million, which is in line with our guidance, and represents 25% growth over 2006. This growth was driven by a 57% increase in our call center business.”

“Throughout the year, we continued to experience record-level growth in our call center revenues, booking and backlog and we anticipate achieving significant growth in each of these categories throughout 2008,” continued Mr. O’Callaghan. “As of December 31, 2007, our call center backlog, which provides visibility for our future revenues, was $14.7 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 76%. We expect the majority of this backlog to be recognized as revenue in 2008. We added 14 new, marquee accounts during the year, in both established and new verticals, and announced distribution agreements with two leading, global IT integration and services firms. We expect these partners, and others that we continue to pursue, to play an important role in our migration to a business model with a higher software component. We continue to make the required investments to support our growth, and we expect that a higher software revenue component will gradually improve our margins and significantly reduce our operating and net losses.”

NOTE: Jacada fourth quarter and year-end financial reports reflect the divestiture of its application modernization (legacy) business, which generated approximately $12.5 million in revenues and $9.5 million in GAAP net income during 2007. This business was sold prior to year-end and has been classified in the GAAP financial tables as “Discontinued Operations.” The sale of this business was announced on December 20, 2007 and closed on January 1, 2008, for gross proceeds of $26 million in cash, which includes approximately $3 million currently being held in escrow. The following non-GAAP financial discussion pertains only to continuing operations (call center business). The difference between the non-GAAP numbers and GAAP numbers includes net income from discontinued operations (legacy business), income tax benefits associated with the discontinued operation, stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions effected by Jacada in previous years.

For the fiscal year 2007, total call center revenues grew 57% to a record $13.3 million from $8.5 million in the fiscal year 2006. Non-GAAP gross profit for the fiscal year 2007 was $6.2 million or 47% gross margin, compared to $4.6 million and 54%, respectively, for the fiscal year 2006. GAAP gross profit was $5.8 million or 43% gross margin, compared to $4.4 million and 52%, respectively, in the fiscal year 2006.

Annual non-GAAP net loss was ($11.0 million), or ($0.54) per share in 2007 compared to a net loss of ($12.2 million), or ($0.62) per share in 2006. Overall annual GAAP net income in 2007 was $4.1 million, or $0.20 per share, which included $9.5 million in income from discontinued operations and an income tax benefit associated with discontinued operation of $6.7 million. This compared to a net loss of ($2.6 million), or ($0.13) per share in fiscal year 2006, which included $9.1 million in income from discontinued operations and a tax benefit associated with discontinued operation of $1.3 million.

For the fourth quarter, total reported revenues from continuing operations rose 137% to a record $6.15 million compared to $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP gross profit for the fourth quarter was $2.5 million, or 41% gross margin, compared to $1.4 million in gross profit, or 55% gross margin in the fourth quarter last year. Total GAAP gross profit was $2.3 million or 37% gross margin, compared to $1.3 million and 52%, respectively, in last year’s fourth quarter.

The fourth quarter non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations was ($2.4 million), or ($0.11) per share, compared to ($2.9 million), or ($0.14) per share in the fourth quarter of 2006. Overall fourth quarter GAAP net income was $5.4 million, or $0.26 per share, which included $2.6 million in income from discontinued operations and an income tax benefit associated with discontinued operation of $5.6 million. This compared to a net loss of ($634,000), or ($0.03) per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, which included $2.2 million in income from discontinued operations and a tax benefit associated with discontinued operation of $200,000.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2007 cash and investments were $33.8 million, compared to $35.9 million reported on December 31, 2006. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the sale of the company’s legacy business added gross proceeds of $26 million, including approximately $3 million held in escrow, to the balance sheet.

“We are delivering a solution to the market that is achieving significant cost savings and revenue growth opportunities for our clients,” continued Mr. O’Callaghan. “What is also critically important to our clients is the enhanced customer experience that our clients can now offer through efficient call resolutions. This is contributing to measurable gains for our call center clients as their customer retention rates improve. The flexibility of our solution is enabling us to penetrate new verticals and go deeper into our established markets, resulting in a rapidly intensifying market opportunity.”

“Due to our backlog, visibility in our sales pipeline and the progress of project deliverables, we are raising our revenue guidance for 2008 to $20 to $22 million, which represents an increase of 50% to 65% year-over-year,” concluded Mr. O’Callaghan. “We also expect to reduce our annual non-GAAP net loss by as much as 40% to 50% in 2008 compared to 2007, and based on our current financial model, we anticipate reaching non-GAAP profitability during 2009. We are confident that we will continue to meet or exceed our long-term financial milestones.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Jacada's management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of Jacada's on-going core operations and prospects for the future.

Jacada Announces $10 Million Share Repurchase Program

Board of Directors Authorizes Share Repurchase; Company Files to Seek Court Approval

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jacada Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCDA), a leading provider of unified desktop and process optimization solutions for customer service operations, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the use of up to $10 million of the Company’s available cash to repurchase Common shares of the Company.

Purchases shall be made from time to time at the discretion of management in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to, among other factors, market conditions, trading volume and the Company's share price. No time limit was set for the repurchase program and the program may be suspended from time to time or discontinued.

In addition, purchases will be made in compliance with the applicable provisions of Section 302 and 303 of the Israeli Companies Law - 1999, Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under Israeli law, the program requires court approval. Accordingly, Jacada will file an application with the District Court in Tel Aviv, Israel in the next few days, to approve the repurchase by the Company of up to $10 million of its ordinary shares and expects that the approval process will take approximately 6-8 weeks.

“Our board of directors has determined that the repurchase of Jacada stock represents an effective use of a portion of our cash at this time,” stated Paul O’Callaghan, chief executive officer of Jacada. “The strength of our balance sheet, the confidence we have in our business model and the continued execution of our long-term business strategy supports this decision.”

As of December 31, 2007, Jacada had approximately 20,600,865 ordinary shares outstanding and the closing price for its ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Global Market as of February 11, 2008, was $3.46.
