Blue Martini Software Reports First Quarter Results

    SAN MATEO, Calif., April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Blue Martini Software, Inc., (Nasdaq: BLUE) today announced financial results
for the first quarter of 2002.  For its first quarter of 2002, Blue Martini
Software reported revenues of $8.5 million, compared to $10.4 million for the
fourth quarter of 2001 and $21.4 million for the first quarter of 2001.
    Blue Martini Software reported pro forma net loss of $7.4 million, or
$0.11 per share for the first quarter of 2002, compared to a pro forma net
loss of $6.4 million, or $0.10 per share for the fourth quarter of 2001 and
$15.2 million, or $0.24 per share, for the first quarter of 2001.  Pro forma
net loss per share excludes restructuring charges and amortization of
intangibles, stock compensation and stock warrants.  Net loss including those
charges was $7.3 million, or $0.11 per share for the first quarter of 2002,
compared to a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.14 per share for the fourth
quarter of 2001 and $25.7 million, or $0.41 per share, for the first quarter
of 2001.
    In the March quarter, net loss was essentially the same as pro forma net
loss, due to the accounting treatment of deferred stock compensation relating
to departing employees, which resulted in net stock compensation being a
credit, slightly larger then the charges associated with warrants, intangibles
and restructuring.
    As of March 31, 2002, Blue Martini had cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments totaling $88.9 million.
    For additional information on Blue Martini Software's reported results,
including reclassifications of prior period financial information, see the
accompanying financial tables.
    "As the recovery broadens, we expect technology spending to increase and
our software sales to improve.  We remain convinced that great enterprise
software companies provide more value by verticalizing their solutions with
industry-specific functionality," said Monte Zweben, chairman and CEO of Blue
Martini Software.  "That's why we've intensified our focus this quarter on
delivering deeper industry functionality for the manufacturing and retail
markets, to complement existing vertical functionality offered by other ERP
and CRM players.  Last week, we strengthened our commitment to manufacturing
and retail with the acquisition of the Cybrant Corporation, combining the
power of Blue Martini's multi-channel CRM suite and Cybrant's
interactive-selling suite to better serve the manufacturing and retail
markets."
