Radiant Systems, Inc. Reports Results for the Second Quarter of 2003

Company Writes off $32.5 Million in Intangible Assets Associated with Strategy to Refocus the Business

ATLANTA—(BUSINESS WIRE)—August 5, 2003—Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS—News), a leading provider of systems for managing and supporting site operations of retail and hospitality businesses, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Summary financial results for the second quarter are as follows:

• Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 were $27.8 million, a decrease of 24.2% over revenues of $36.7 million for the same period in 2002.

• Net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003, was $35.8 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, a decrease of $37.3 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002.

• Adjusted net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003, which excludes asset impairment charges and severance payments, was $3.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, a decrease of $4.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002.

During the second quarter, the Company wrote-off approximately $32.5 million of intangible assets based on a reorganization of the Company’s operating segments as well as the likelihood of a future disposition of the Enterprise Software segment. Additionally, the Company wrote off approximately $900,000 of intangible assets associated with other lines of business due to changes in market conditions. The Company also recorded a charge of approximately $200,000 during the quarter for severance costs related to position eliminations.

The Company provides adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted net (loss)/income per share in this press release as additional information of the Company’s operating results. The measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”) and may be different from net income and per share measures used by other companies. Net (loss)/income has been adjusted to exclude the effects of the impairment of certain intangible assets and certain charges related to

severance and lease termination costs. The Company believes that this presentation of adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted net (loss)/income per share provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations

John Heyman, the Company’s co-chief executive officer commented, “The economic environment continues to dampen demand. While our second quarter results were disappointing, we continue to stay focused on our long-term operating model. We believe we are making the right investments in our products, markets and client relationships to take advantage of future improvements in the economy.” Mr. Heyman continued, “We are optimistic about delivering improved performance for the second half of the year as we see portions of our business picking up momentum. Specifically, we are seeing leading indicators of demand from large clients, we continue to see progress in our small business strategy, and during the quarter we have improved our service margins as several of our investments in projects have declined.”

Business highlights for Q2 2003:

• Completed roll-out of Radiant technology to more than 100 corporate sites of a large table service restaurant chain

• Continued roll-out of Radiant Enterprise Productivity Suite to large contract food service management provider—currently deployed to more than 130 sites representing 40 concepts

• Completed successful multi-site, multi-market pilot of customer self service kiosks for major petroleum retailer’s fast casual food offering

• Continued roll-out of Radiant POS with major petroleum retailer—deployment approaching 500 sites

• Signed Wehrenberg Theatres to deploy Radiant POS and back-office technology to all its sites

• Signed agreements with two new mid-sized convenience store chains

• Increased activity in reseller channel with revenue growth of 105% over prior year

• Won two Microsoft 2003 Retail Application Developer (RAD) Awards

Mark Haidet, the Company’s chief financial officer commented, “Though our revenues are significantly down, we continue to impose discipline around our expense structure and cash management. We have maintained a strong working capital base including $39.4 million in cash at the end of the second quarter driven in large part by our exceptionally strong Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO’s”) at 57 days down from 67 days in the previous quarter. At the same time we have made strategic investments in our products and customer relationships.” Mr. Haidet added, “We have continued our stock repurchase program with approximately 382,000 shares purchased during the quarter at an aggregate price of $2.6 million. Consistent with the first quarter, we did not provide a tax benefit on our current quarter pretax losses, and we anticipate that as the Company generates future pretax profits, we will record the current quarter’s tax benefit, thus reducing our overall effective tax rate for an undetermined period of time in the future.”
