BroadVision Announces Profitable Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2007 Results



    BroadVision, Inc. (OTCBB:BVSN), a global provider of e-business
    solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter
    ended December 31, 2007. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $11.2
    million, compared with revenues of $12.8 million for the third quarter
    ended September 30, 2007 and $13.0 million for the comparable quarter
    of 2006.

    License revenue for the fourth quarter was $4.6 million versus
    $5.3 million in the prior quarter and $4.0 million in the comparable
    quarter of 2006. The majority of the fourth quarter license revenue
    was generated from the company´s core Commerce and Process solutions
    from customers including Audible.com, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Hilti,
    OfficeMax, Vodafone and several other brand name global customers.

    In the fourth quarter of 2007, BroadVision posted net income on a
    U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") basis of $5.9
    million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, as compared with GAAP
    net income of $5.5 million, or $0.05 per share, for the third quarter
    of 2007 and GAAP net income of $7.0 million, or $0.09 per basic and
    diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006.

    Pro forma net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $4.4
    million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared with a pro
    forma net income of $6.7 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted
    share, in the third quarter of 2007 and a pro forma net income of $6.1
    million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter
    of 2006. These pro forma results exclude restructuring charges, stock
    compensation expense under SFAS 123 (R), and revaluation of warrant
    liabilities. A reconciliation of these pro-forma figures to GAAP net
    income figures is included in a table on the attached financial
    statements. The Company believes its pro forma results provide useful
    information because they reflect the Company´s financial performance
    excluding certain charges, credits, gains and losses that the Company
    believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations.

    Full-year 2007 revenues totaled $50.0 million, with GAAP net
    income of $17.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to 2006
    revenues of $52.0 million, with a GAAP net income of $15.0 million, or
    $0.23 per diluted share. Full-year 2007 license revenue was $21.1
    million, compared with 2006 license revenue of $15.2 million.
    Full-year 2006 net income of $15.0 million includes a $3.4 million
    pre-tax restructuring credit and a $1.3 million pre-tax charge on
    warrants re-valuation. Full-year 2007 net income of $17.3 million
    includes a $3.1 million pre-tax charge related to the revaluation of
    warrants liabilities.

    As of December 31, 2007, the company had a cash balance of $54.0
    million, representing a $3.3 million, or 7%, increase over the
    September 30, 2007 balance of $50.7 million and a 46% increase from
    the year´s starting cash position of $37.0 million, due primarily to
    positive cash flow generated from operations of about $14.6 million
    and about $2.0 million from issuance of common stock.

    The Company formally released BroadVision 8.1(TM) on time at the
    beginning of the fourth quarter, a major milestone in completing the
    Company´s new K2 (Kona * Kukini)(TM) e-business solution sets.
    Furthermore, BroadVision OnDemand, Ltd. launched the Chinese Edition
    of CHRM*060(TM) in November 2007 and its English Edition in January
    2008. As the centerpiece of the CHRM(TM) family of workforce
    relationship management solutions, CHRM*060(TM) has generated more
    than 30 customers, totaling nearly 20,000 subscribers, in less than
    two months since its launch.

    "Having completed several new product releases last year, we now
    have a very focused goal for 2008," said Dr. Pehong Chen, President
    and CEO, BroadVision, "To accelerate our go-to market efforts in sales
