For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the company reported revenues of $22.1 million, compared to revenues of $39.3 million in the first quarter of 2001.

Pursuant to a Financial Accounting Standards Board staff announcement (Topic No. D-103), reimbursable expenses have been reclassified into revenues, with a corresponding increase in cost of revenues. The impact of the reclassification was to increase revenues by 2% and 3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Roger Siboni, CEO of E.piphany, said, "During the quarter E.piphany released E.6, the only end-to-end J2EE CRM solution that takes advantage of our leadership in marketing and analytics to deliver Smart CRM. We also continued to add blue chip customers to our roster by signing new transactions with ING North America, Miller Brewing, the National Football League, RealNetworks, SBC Communications, SWISS, Ticketmaster and Yamaha. Repeat business also was strong this quarter as existing customers keep extending their investments in E.piphany`s products. While the first quarter presented many challenges and we do not expect a fast economic recovery, we are very pleased that in these tough times, we are gaining mindshare among the Global 2000 and constantly improving our market position so that we are well-positioned to benefit when IT spending picks up."
Kevin Yeaman, chief financial officer, added, "Our balance sheet remains solid with approximately $309 million in cash and DSO of 67 days. In a tough quarter, we kept service margins at a healthy level and reduced total operating costs without sacrificing our ability to execute our strategy."
