First quarter net loss decreases 70% year-over-year to $0.02 loss per share
FREMONT, CA — November 19, 2003 — VA Software Corporation (Nasdaq: LNUX), provider of the award-winning SourceForge™ global development platform, and parent company of OSDN™ , the leading network of media and commerce sites serving the Open Source, developer and IT communities, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2004, ended October 31, 2003.
Total first quarter fiscal 2004 revenue grew 14% to $5.8 million, compared to first quarter fiscal 2003 total revenue of $5.1 million. Revenue associated with the exited hardware business was $31,000 in first quarter fiscal 2004 compared to $0.2 million in first quarter fiscal 2003. Revenue from the ongoing software and online businesses increased 18% to $5.8 million in first quarter fiscal 2004 from $4.9 million in first quarter fiscal 2003.
On a GAAP basis, the first quarter fiscal 2004 net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to last year’s first quarter fiscal 2003 GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.08 per share. The first quarter fiscal 2004 GAAP net loss includes $17,000 in restructuring credits and a $23,000 charge for amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation.
The first quarter fiscal 2004 net loss before non-recurring charges, which excludes restructuring and other special charges and amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, improved to $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to last year’s first quarter fiscal 2003 net loss, before non-recurring charges, of $3.7 million, or $0.07 per share. Cash and investments remain strong at $38.2 million as of October 31, 2003.
“We have started fiscal year 2004 strongly. Revenue for both our software and online businesses grew at double digit rates over last year, our GAAP and pro forma losses are at the lowest level we’ve experienced as a public company and our cash burn rate was only $1.5 million,” said Ali Jenab, President and CEO. “We increased our SourceForge Enterprise Edition installed base to 66 customers and OSDN continues to grow, reaching record numbers of users as page views grew to 225 million per month. These improvements in the underlying business coupled with the recent appointment of Darryll Dewan as EVP of worldwide sales and the closing of our $15 million private placement in November 2003 increase our confidence in our ability to execute our plans.”

Recent Highlights
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, VA Software uses non-GAAP financial results. Non-GAAP net income and earnings per share exclude amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-term assets, as well as restructuring costs and other special charges. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of current financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, VA believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that VA believes are not indicative of core operating results. In addition, because VA has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, VA believes the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in financial reporting. Further, these non-GAAP results are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The method VA uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
