PALO ALTO, Calif. (February 14, 2002)
- ClickAction™, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLAC), a leading provider of email marketing automation solutions, today announced financial results for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2001. Revenues for Q4 2001 were $3.0 million, an increase of 29% from $2.4 million in Q3 2001 and a decrease of 42% from $5.3 million in Q4 2000. Operating income for Q4 2001 was $16,000 compared to an operating loss of $6.3 million in Q3 2001 and an operating loss of $898,000 in Q4 2000. ClickAction realized a net loss from continuing operations in Q4 2001 of $76,000, or $0.01 a share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations in Q3 2001 of $6.3 million, or $0.49 a share, and a net loss from continuing operations in Q4 2000 of $789,000, or $0.06 a share.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $15.8 million, an increase of 35% from $11.8 million in 2000. Excluding restructuring and impairment charges, the net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $3.3 million, or $0.26 a share, compared to $9.3 million, or $0.79 a share, for the year ended December 31, 2000.

As of December 31, 2001, ClickAction had approximately $2.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $250,000 in a note receivable and $2.4 million in net accounts receivable. ClickAction expects to reach cash flow breakeven in Q2 2002. ClickAction continues to have no interest bearing debt.

"Restructuring our business last year allowed ClickAction to focus 100% on its ASP solution and keep its cost base under control,'' said George Grant, president and CEO for ClickAction. "Over the past year, ClickAction has leveraged its technology, services and expertise in email marketing to win long-term contracts from Fortune 2000 companies and to provide the Company with new revenue streams for 2002. Many of our clients have also extended their contracts and expanded their current service level."

"Furthermore, ClickAction has realized the value in deploying an industry-specific solution to each of its target vertical markets. By serving our key vertical markets, our clients experience a faster return on their investment than those using a solution that is more broad-based or generic," concluded Grant.

As previously announced, the Company expects revenues for 2002 to be in the range of $15 to $18 million and EPS to be in the range of $0.09 to $0.11. For 2003, the Company expects revenues to be in the range of $21 to $24 million and EPS to be in the range of $0.17 to $0.20.

A live conference call to discuss ClickAction's 2001 fourth quarter and year-end results is scheduled for 2 p.m. PT on Thursday, February 14, 2002, and is accessible at www.clickaction.com or by dialing 1-800-273-9672.
