Genesys Conferencing Logo Genesys Conferencing Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2003 Denver, Colorado, and Montpellier, France, November 13, 2003 - Genesys Conferencing (Euronext: 3955) (Nasdaq: GNSY), a leading multimedia conferencing specialist, today reported financial results (unaudited) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003. All financial results are reported under French Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Improving Profitability and Cost Reduction Efforts Comparisons for the third quarter versus the prior year included: o Total call volumes increased 8.5% to 322.1 million minutes o Revenue decreased 22.6% to (euro)36.3 million, with automated services representing 68.3% of revenue o Gross margin increased to 62.5% o EBITDA* increased to (euro)7.1 million, with EBITDA margins improving to 19.5% o Net loss improved 50.3% to (euro)3.8 million, including previously announced (euro)1.6 million production center restructuring charge o Cash and cash equivalents increased by (euro)14.4 million from Q4 2002 to (euro)24.4 million "We are continuing to direct the migration towards our higher-margin automated conferencing services. We are also initiating an innovative bundled pricing strategy to support the adoption of our unique, fully integrated multimedia conferencing solutions," stated Francois Legros, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Genesys Conferencing. "By implementing additional operating efficiencies and productivity improvements, we are aiming to enhance our leading service quality and further our improved profitability." Total call volumes were 322.1 million minutes, up 8.5% from the same period in 2002, while automated services call volumes rose 26.2% from the third quarter of 2002. Automated services represented approximately 68.3% of revenue and 84.5% of audio call volumes in the third quarter of 2003, as compared to 54.7% and 72.7% in the third quarter 2002, respectively. Revenue decreased 22.6% to (euro)36.3 million, from (euro)46.9 million in the third quarter of 2002. The revenue decline, which was anticipated, was primarily due to the weak U.S. dollar, the continuing shift toward automated services (which carry higher margins but generate lower per-minute revenues than operator-assisted services) and price erosion. Despite the revenue decrease, gross margin was 62.5% compared to 56.7% in the third quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of greater cost efficiencies and higher productivity of the consolidated production centers, as well as the continuing improvement of our mix of higher margin automated services. Selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses declined (euro)5.6 million to (euro)18.2 million, a 23.7% decline compared to the third quarter of 2002. The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the Company's continuing cost-reduction initiatives, including the greater centralization of certain operations and functional groups. Operating profit in the third quarter of 2003 was (euro)155,000, compared to an operating loss of (euro)1.3 million in the third quarter of 2002. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA*) totaled (euro)7.1 million in the third quarter of 2003, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 19.5%, compared to (euro)6.2 million in the third quarter of 2002, or an EBITDA margin of 13.2%. Net loss was (euro)3.8 million, or (euro)0.23 per share, in the third quarter of 2003, compared with a loss of (euro)7.7 million, or (euro)0.50 per share, in the same period last year. Cash increased to (euro)24.4 million, up (euro)14.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2002. Gross cash and cash equivalents increased to (euro)24.4 million as of September 30, 2003 from (euro)10.3 million as of September 30, 2002. "Continuing improvement of our liquidity and profitability remains a high priority and a focus of the strategic initiatives that we are implementing as we prepare our business plans for 2004", stated Michael E. Savage, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Guidance for 2003 The following contains forward-looking guidance regarding the Company's financial outlook. The following is based on current expectations. The company confirms its previously disclosed guidance as follows: o Automated services are anticipated to be in the range of 68%-72% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 o EBITDA for 2003 is anticipated to be in the range of (euro)36 million - (euro)40 million However, the Company now anticipates that revenue for 2003 will be approximately (euro)160 million due to our expectations regarding the continued industry price erosion and the continuing weakness of the U.S. Dollar as compared to the Euro.
