Item 1. Business
Overview
We develop, market and sell the E.piphany System, an integrated suite of customer relationship management (CRM) software solutions. These CRM solutions provide capabilities for the collection and analysis of customer data, the creation of inbound and outbound marketing campaigns, and the execution of sales and service customer interactions. Companies can implement the E.piphany System to gain insight into their customers characteristics and preferences, and then take action on that insight to better and more profitably serve those customers. To gain insight into their customers, companies use our analytic CRM solutions, which collect customer data from existing software systems or other E.piphany solutions, as well as third party data providers. To take action on this insight, companies use our operational CRM solutions to more effectively interact with their customers across a variety of communication and distribution channels.
We were founded in November 1996. From our founding through the end of 1997, we primarily engaged in research activities, developing products and building business infrastructure. We began shipping our first software product and first generated revenues from software license fees, implementation and consulting fees, and maintenance fees in early 1998.
The E.piphany Solution
In order to increase the longevity and profitability of customer relationships, as well as attract new customers, many companies are seeking to improve the processes through which they market, sell and deliver service to their customers. To improve these processes, companies wish to better understand their customers characteristics and preferences by gaining a single view of each customer across the companys various departments, distribution channels and points of customer interaction. Based on the insight gained from this single customer view, companies can then take action to address individual customer preferences and characteristics through more personalized customer interactions. Furthermore, when companies understand individual customer preferences, they are better able to market complementary products and make personalized offers to meet each customers individual needs.
Achieving a single customer view and improving customer relationships is difficult because most companies do not have an integrated software infrastructure for automating sales and service interactions or collecting and analyzing customer data to better understand and market to customers. Moreover, the channels of communication, or touch points, between companies and their employees, partners and customers have grown to include not only traditional channels such as direct mail, the telephone, retail stores and direct sales forces, but also newer channels such as e-mail, web commerce sites and web self-service sites. As a result, valuable customer data is stored in numerous, disparate front-office software applications as well as back-office applications such as accounting and manufacturing systems. To gain a single view of each customer and improve customer relationships, companies need to implement an integrated CRM infrastructure for automating sales and service interactions, collecting customer data and analyzing that data to better understand and market to their customers.
1
We believe that our software is differentiated from that of our competitors by its combination of the following characteristics:
Integration of analytic and operational CRM solutions. The E.piphany System integrates analytic CRM technologies, which are used to gain insight into customer data, with operational CRM technologies, which improve the effectiveness of sales and service interactions. The integration of these traditionally disparate technologies allows companies to develop and enhance their customer relationships. For example, a sales representative using our operational CRM solutions will receive up-to-date analysis of customer information and personalized recommendations in order to better prepare for and engage in sales interactions.
Real-time decisioning for intelligent applications. The E.piphany System includes capabilities for real-time decisioning which allow for immediate analysis of data collected during customer interactions so that optimal decisions can be made during each interaction. For example, our decisioning capabilities can monitor interactions during a customer support telephone call, then prompt the customer service agent with relevant information to optimize the customer interaction. We make extensive use of these capabilities across all of our solutions, so that customer intelligence can be driven across all customer interactions.
Designed to span all channels of customer interaction. The E.piphany System is designed to improve customer relationships across all channels of customer interaction. For example, companies can use our operational CRM solutions to manage customer communications over the web, e-mail, telephone, fax, chat and wireless devices. Also, our analytic CRM solutions can extract data from, or integrate marketing campaigns into, legacy and third-party software solutions to improve interactions dependent upon those systems.
Web-based architecture for wide-scale deployment and lower cost of ownership. Our software is built upon a modern, web-based architecture that allows users to access the system across a corporate network or the Internet using a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. The customer installs the software in a central location, either on the customers own computer servers or on those of a third-party hosted services provider. This web-based design does not require our software to be installed on each users computer, which enables wide-scale deployment and reduces the costs of deploying and maintaining software.
Integrated software suite for faster implementation. Our software solutions are integrated to combine all of the technologies required to collect and analyze customer data, manage marketing campaigns and conduct service and support interactions. As a result, companies do not need to combine multiple vendors software tools into a single software solution and then customize this software solution to meet their needs.
E.piphany Products
The E.piphany System includes multiple CRM software solutions designed to solve specific business problems in areas such as customer analytics, marketing, service and sales. Our software solutions can be deployed simultaneously or in incremental steps as our customers seek to address new business problems. Our customers can deploy our software solutions to enhance, supplement or replace previously installed software products.
The E.piphany System is made up of several software modules within each of the following product families:
| E.piphany Insight, | |
| E.piphany Marketing, | |
| E.piphany Sales, and | |
| E.piphany Service. |
E.piphany Insight |
E.piphany Insight software solutions allow any business user with a web browser to easily analyze customer, supplier and operational data from across the enterprise and the Internet. To support this capability,
2
E.piphany Marketing |
E.piphany Marketing software solutions allow employees in a companys marketing department to collaborate on planning and designing marketing campaigns that target each customer based on his or her specific characteristics and preferences. Once a campaign is designed, our software solutions can execute the campaign through direct mail, personalized e-mail, customized web pages and other points of customer interaction. When campaigns are executed, our software solutions analyze response data to refine and tune campaigns. We make use of our real-time decisioning capabilities within E.piphany Marketing, among other things, to make optimal marketing recommendations based on customer data collected during an ongoing customer interaction, as well as data collected historically.
E.piphany Sales |
E.piphany Sales software solutions allow a companys sales people and sales managers to be more effective in managing their relationships with customers by enabling them to plan for and execute various types of interactions with prospects and customers. E.piphany Sales enables sales teams to more effectively and efficiently manage the entire sales life cycle, including identifying the most promising leads, preparing for sales interactions and following up in the most appropriate manner. Companies use this sales solution to achieve higher sales success rates, deeper account penetration, and increased revenue. The product provides sales professionals access to real-time information through web browsers, disconnected laptops, wireless phones, personal digital assistants, and other devices. We make use of our real-time decisioning capabilities within E.piphany Sales to intelligently guide sales personnel through the sales process with optimal recommendations.
E.piphany Service |
E.piphany Service software solutions help customer care representatives and call center agents respond to customer requests, issues, inquiries and opportunities, as well as enable customers to help themselves over the web. E.piphany Service software solutions are based on a web-based architecture that provides an integrated view of a companys communication channels, including the internet, e-mail, telephone, fax, and chat. By incorporating the technology of our E.piphany Insight and E.piphany Marketing software solutions, our intelligent service software solutions enable customer contact representatives to have a single view of all of their customers data that has been collected from multiple sources, and make relevant offers and service recommendations based on that information. We make use of our real-time decisioning capabilities within E.piphany Service, for example, to optimize the routing of inbound customer calls and prompt customer service agents with information to optimize the interaction with the customer.
E.piphany Strategy
We intend to be the leading provider of CRM software for customer analytics, marketing, sales and service. Key elements of our strategy include:
Extend the breadth and depth of our product offerings. We intend to continue to invest in research and development to build new software and extend the range of business problems that we solve for our customers. In particular, we intend to expand our current software offerings for analytics, marketing, sales and service by adding new features and functions to our solutions, as well as improving the core capabilities of our product architecture. A key element of improving our product architecture is developing our products on the Java platform a set of software development technologies that will make our software easier to develop, configure and integrate with internally developed and third party systems. We believe that maintaining and

Increase market penetration by expanding our sales and distribution capabilities. We intend to continue to enhance the effectiveness of our direct sales force. In addition, we have developed contractual relationships with systems integrators, resellers and hosted services partners that we believe will allow us to extend our sales presence. We intend to use these relationships to support our sales efforts and help us enhance, and develop new, E.piphany software solutions.
Increase our international penetration by enhancing our global presence. We intend to continue investing in enhancing our global presence. To achieve an improved global presence, we intend to enhance the effectiveness and size of our direct sales and services organizations in Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America. We also intend to enhance our international presence through relationships with distributors, consulting organizations and systems integrators that have strong existing international presences.
Develop industry-specific software products. In the future, we plan to offer versions of our software designed specifically for industries such as financial services, high technology, retail, insurance, healthcare, communications, travel and leisure and manufacturing. We intend to use the industry expertise of our professional services organization and the consultants, system integrators and other companies with which we have relationships to help us extend our software capabilities to solve business problems specific to these industries.
Consulting, Maintenance and Training Services
Although our primary strategy is to leverage our strategic systems integration partners for implementations, our internal professional services organization plays an integral role in implementing our software for our customers. We believe that our consulting services enhance the use and administration of our software solutions, facilitate the implementation of our software solutions and result in sharing best business practices with client and systems integrator project teams. In addition to implementing our software, our professional services organization works closely with our internal research and development organization to enhance existing, and design new E.piphany software solutions. Experience gained by our professional services organization through repeated implementation of our products is routinely shared with our research and development staff.
We provide our customers with extensive maintenance services including telephone support, web-based support and updates to our products and documentation. We believe that providing a high level of technical support is critical to customer satisfaction. We also offer extensive training programs to our customers and other companies with which we have relationships to accelerate the implementation and adoption of our solutions by the users within a company. Fees for our training services are typically charged separately from our software license, maintenance and consulting fees.
E.piphany System Technology
The E.piphany System includes numerous analytic and operational CRM technologies and supports numerous industry standards. The major elements of the E.piphany Systems core technologies and standards support include:
Web-based architecture. E.piphanys browser-based, web architecture allows information and application functionality to be broadly shared within and outside a company. However, the application logic is managed centrally so that there is no need to install special desktop software and so that administrators can make changes in a single location.
J2EE compliance. We are in the process of developing our current and future product capabilities on the Java Two, Enterprise Edition development platform. This industry standard set of development specifications leverages the strengths of the Java programming language to enable software applications that are easier to develop, configure and integrate with legacy and third-party systems.
4
Modular architecture. The E.piphany System is comprised of numerous software modules that can be implemented independently or in a broad suite. For example, a company may choose to start with one or more E.piphany Sales applications and later add E.piphany Service or E.piphany Marketing applications. Another customer may start with E.piphany Insight and then expand with E.piphany Marketing, Sales, and Service applications. A common application infrastructure is used in every case, and the same benefits of scalability, flexibility, and ease of deployment apply.
Metadata-driven architecture. Our integrated metadata defines the information that flows through the system, from source data systems to application logic, to an applications web page interface. Through this metadata, additions or changes to an application are propagated automatically throughout the system to minimize the administrative burden.
Offline and real-time analytics. We provide a broad range of analytics including analytical processing, data mining, collaborative filtering, and real-time likelihood estimation and integrate them tightly into marketing, service, and sales applications.
Optimized, scalable management of data for both analysis and transactions. The E.piphany System automatically optimizes its management of data depending on the application. The various application components are designed to efficiently handle hundreds of millions of customer records, billions of facts, thousands of simultaneous users, and tens of millions of customer contacts each month.
Advanced extraction, transformation, and load (ETL) technology. Our ETL capabilities enable system administrators to easily integrate data from disparate source systems using a visual interface to define links to source data systems and to schedule extraction jobs at any interval. To accelerate this process, we offer packaged and template extractors for many third party software systems commonly found in large companies.
Open architecture. Our open architecture allows the E.piphany System to fit into existing software environments. The E.piphany System is built on industry standards such as IBM, Microsoft and Oracle databases, and uses existing applications and data warehouses where applicable.
Relationships and Alliances
An important element of our strategy is to establish relationships and alliances to assist us in marketing, selling and implementing our software solutions. These relationships and alliances fall into the following four categories:
Consulting and implementation relationships. We have system integrator relationships with Accenture, Deloitte & Touche, KPMG Consulting, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, among others, to implement our products and to assist us with sales lead generation. We have certified and trained consultants in these organizations for the implementation and operation of our products.
Platform relationships. To help ensure that our products are based on industry standards and take advantage of current and emerging technologies, we have formed relationships with vendors of software and hardware technology platforms. We currently maintain platform relationships with vendors such as BEA Systems, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and Sun Microsystems. Many of these companies voluntarily provide us with early releases of new technology platforms, education related to those platforms and limited access to their technical resources to facilitate adoption of their technology. As a result, we are able to more easily integrate our products with these vendors platforms, and we can also anticipate required changes to our products based on new versions of these vendors platforms. We believe that these relationships allow us to focus on our core competencies, simplify the task of designing and developing our software and reduce the time necessary to make our software compatible with their software or hardware.
Technology relationships. We have formed relationships with vendors of complementary software products. We currently have such agreements with vendors such as BroadVision, ChannelWave, Comergent, Crystal Decisions and Selectica. These relationships consist of non-exclusive contractual agreements to co-market each others products and share technical resources in order to better integrate each others products.
5
Indirect channel relationships. We have entered into reseller agreements with vendors under which we sell software solutions to them for resale to their customers, as well as outsourcing and application service provider (ASP) agreements under which they install and use our software products to provide hosted CRM services to their customers over the Internet. We believe that these relationships will extend our sales presence in new and existing markets. We currently have reseller relationships with Accenture, EDS, Harte-Hanks and Hewlett-Packard, among others. We currently have outsourcing and ASP relationships with EDS, Harte-Hanks and Interelate, among others. Under these agreements, we sell our software solutions to these companies at a discount from our list prices, provide marketing and training support and provide advance notice of price increases. Many of these companies have committed resources to training their employees, developing co-marketing programs and incorporating our products into their CRM marketing strategies. We provide sales materials, training and support services to these resellers on the implementation of our software solutions.
Customers
As of December 31, 2001 we have sold our software products and services to more than 400 customers. Our customers represent entities of all sizes, but our sales focus is on large global institutions from industries such as manufacturing, retailing, financial services, communications, and travel and leisure. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues.
Research and Development
Our research and development organization is responsible for new software products, product architecture, core technologies, product testing, quality assurance and ensuring the compatibility of our products with third-party hardware and software platforms. In addition, this organization is responsible for providing customer technical support and some pre-sales support. Our research and development organization is divided into teams consisting of development engineers, product managers, quality assurance engineers, technical writers and support staff.
E.piphanys total expenses for research and development were $41.0 million, $26.8 million and $7.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. For fiscal year 2000, we recorded charges of $47.0 million for acquired in-process research and development costs in connection with our acquisitions of Octane and RightPoint.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
To date, we have marketed our products primarily through our direct sales force. However, we have expanded our sales channels through additional relationships with systems integrators and indirect channel vendors. In selling our products, we typically approach both business users and information technology professionals with an integrated team from our sales and professional services organizations. Initial sales activities typically include a demonstration of our product capabilities followed by one or more detailed technical reviews. We also seek to establish relationships and alliances with major industry vendors that will add value to our products and expand our distribution opportunities.
We use a variety of marketing programs to build market awareness of our company, our brand name and our products, as well as to attract potential customers. These programs include our own market research, product and strategy updates with industry analysts, public relations activities, direct mail programs, telemarketing and telesales, seminars, trade shows, reseller programs, speaking engagements and web site marketing. Our marketing organization also produces marketing materials in support of sales to prospective customers that include brochures, data sheets, white papers, presentations and demonstrations.
Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights
Our future success depends in part on legal protection of our technology. To protect our technology, we rely primarily on a combination of the following:
| patent laws, | |
| copyright laws, |
6
| trademark laws, | |
| trade secret laws, | |
| employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, and | |
| confidentiality procedures. |
We hold six United States patents and have applied for several other patents on our technology in the United States and internationally. We have also applied for trademarks in the United States and internationally. Our end-user licenses are designed to prohibit unauthorized use, copying and disclosure of our software and technology.
Competition
The market for our products is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our integrated software competes against various vendors software tools designed to accomplish specific elements of a complete process, including analyzing data, managing marketing campaigns or automating sales and service interactions. We compete principally with vendors of traditional customer relationship management, enterprise resources planning, and data analysis and marketing software. Our competitors include, among others, companies such as Business Objects, Chordiant, Informatica, Kana Communications, NCR, Onyx, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Pivotal, SAP AG, Siebel Systems and Xchange.
We compete on the basis of the following principal factors:
| analytic capabilities, | |
| cost of ownership, | |
| customer support, | |
| ease of use, | |
| open architecture, | |
| product features, | |
| product performance, | |
| product pricing, | |
| product reliability, | |
| time to market, and | |
| user scalability. |
We believe that we presently compete favorably with our competitors with respect to each of these factors. However, the markets for our products are still rapidly evolving, and we may not be able to compete successfully against current and potential competitors.
Employees
As of December 31, 2001, we had 696 full-time employees. Of these employees, 183 were engaged in research and development, 240 were engaged in sales and marketing, 174 were engaged in professional services and 99 were engaged in general administrative activities. Of these employees, 558 were located in the United States and 138 were located outside the United States.
None of our employees are represented by a labor union or a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.
7
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock is very risky. You should carefully consider the risks below, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before investing in E.piphany. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
E.piphany has a history of losses, expects losses in the future and may not ever become profitable.
We incurred net losses of $2.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2001, $768.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. We had an accumulated deficit of $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2001, and $804.3 million as of December 31, 2000. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. These losses will be substantial, and we may not ever become profitable. Therefore, our operating results will be harmed if our revenue does not keep pace with our expected increase in expenses or is not sufficient for us to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability in any period, it cannot be certain that we will sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
Our revenues may be harmed if general economic conditions continue to worsen.
Our revenues are dependent on the health of the economy and the growth of our customers and potential future customers. If the economy remains stagnant, our customers may continue to delay or reduce their spending on CRM software. When economic conditions weaken, sales cycles for software products tend to lengthen and companies information technology budgets tend to be reduced. If that happens, our revenues could suffer and our stock price may decline. Further, if the economic conditions in the United States worsen or if a wider or global economic slowdown occurs, we may experience a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and subsequent U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, as well as future developments occurring in connection with these events including, without limitation, actual or threatened future terrorist attacks against the United States or other countries, or an escalation of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan or elsewhere, may adversely affect our business. Although it is difficult to predict the effect of these potential world events, they could cause: a further softening of U.S. and foreign economies that could cause sales of our products and services to decline; many of our customers and potential customers to cancel, reduce or delay their purchases of our products and services; and the sales cycle for our products and services to lengthen. These outcomes, and other unforeseen outcomes of these world events, would adversely affect our revenues, operating results and financial condition.
Variations in quarterly operating results due to such factors as changes in demand for our products and changes in our mix of revenues may cause our stock price to decline.
We expect our quarterly operating results to fluctuate. We therefore believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance, and you should not rely on them to predict our future performance or the future performance of our stock price. Our short-term expense levels are relatively fixed and are based on our expectations of future revenues. As a result, a reduction in revenues in a quarter may harm our operating results for that quarter. Our quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results could vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter. If our operating results in future quarters fall below the expectations of market analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock will fall. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate on a quarterly basis are:
| varying size, timing and contractual terms of orders for our products and services, | |
| our ability to timely complete our service obligations related to product sales, | |
| changes in the mix of revenue attributable to higher-margin product license revenue as opposed to substantially lower-margin service revenue, |
8
| customers decisions to defer orders or implementations, particularly large orders or implementations, from one quarter to the next, | |
| changes in demand for our software or for enterprise software generally, | |
| announcements or introductions of new products by our competitors, | |
| software defects and other product quality problems, | |
| our ability to integrate acquisitions, | |
| our ability to release new, competitive U.S. and international products on a timely basis, | |
| any increase in our need to supplement our professional services organization by subcontracting to more expensive consulting organizations to help provide implementation, support and training services when our own capacity is constrained, and | |
| our ability to hire, train and retain sufficient engineering, consulting, training and sales staff. |
Our service revenues have a substantially lower margin than our product revenues, and an increase in service revenues relative to license revenues could harm our gross margins.
Our service revenues, which includes fees for consulting, implementation, maintenance and training, were 43% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001, 42% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 47% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. Our service revenues have substantially lower gross margins than license revenues. Our cost of service revenues for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 97%, 101% and 102%, respectively, of our service revenues. An increase in the percentage of total revenues represented by service revenues could adversely affect our overall gross margins.
Service revenues as a percentage of total revenues and cost of service revenues as a percentage of total revenues have varied significantly from quarter-to-quarter due to our relatively early stage of development. The amount and profitability of services can depend in large part on:
| the extent to which outside consulting organizations provide services directly to customers, | |
| the nature of the software solution licensed, | |
| the complexity of the customers information technology environment, | |
| the resources allocated by customers to their implementation projects, | |
| the scope of licensed rights, and | |
| the extent to which licenses expand rights to use previously installed E.piphany software products. |
Our limited operating history and the limited operating history of the companies we acquired makes financial forecasting and evaluation of our business difficult.
Our limited operating history and the limited operating history of the companies that we acquired makes it difficult to forecast our future operating results. We were founded in November 1996 and began developing products in 1997. Our revenue and income potential is unproven. We received our first revenues from licensing our software and performing related services in early 1998. Since neither we nor the companies we acquired have a long history upon which to base forecasts of future operating results, any predictions about our future revenues and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we and the other companies we acquired had longer business histories.
9
If customers do not contract directly with third party consulting organizations to implement our products, our revenues, profitability and margins may be harmed.
We focus on providing software solutions rather than services. As a result, we encourage our customers to purchase consulting and implementation services directly from third party consulting organizations instead of purchasing these services from us. While we do not receive any fees directly from these consulting organizations when they contract directly with our customers, we believe that these consulting organizations increase market awareness and acceptance of our software solutions and allow us to focus on software development and licensing. If consulting organizations are unwilling or unable to provide a sufficient level and quality of service directly to our customers or if customers are unwilling to contract directly with these consulting organizations, we may not realize these benefits and our revenues and profitability may be harmed.
Further, to the extent that consulting organizations do not provide consulting and implementation services directly to our customers, we need to provide these services to our customers. We provide these services to our customers either directly through our internal professional services organization or indirectly through subcontractors we hire to perform these services on our behalf. Because our margins on service revenues are less than our margins on license revenues, our overall margins decline when we provide these services to customers. This is particularly true if we hire subcontractors to perform these services because it costs us more to hire subcontractors to perform these services than to provide the services ourselves.
If our internal professional services organization does not provide implementation services effectively and according to schedule, our revenues and profitability would be harmed.
Customers that license our products typically require consulting and implementation services and can obtain them from our internal professional services organizations, or from outside consulting organizations. When we are primarily responsible for the implementation services, we generally recognize revenue from the licensing of our software products as the implementation services are performed. If our internal professional services organization does not effectively implement our products, or if we are unable to expand our internal professional services organization as needed to meet our customers needs, our ability to sell software, and accordingly our revenues, will be harmed. If we are unable to expand our internal professional services organization to keep pace with sales, we will be required to increase our use of subcontractors to help meet our implementation and service obligations, which will result in lower gross margins. In addition, we may be unable to negotiate agreements with subcontractors to provide a sufficient level and quality of services. If we fail to retain sufficient subcontractors, our ability to sell software for which these services are required will be harmed and our revenues will suffer.
Competition from other software vendors could adversely affect our ability to sell our products and could result in pressure to price our products in a manner that reduces our margins.
Competitive pressures could prevent us from growing, reduce our market share or require us to reduce prices on our products and services, any of which could harm our business. We compete principally with vendors of traditional customer relationship management, enterprise resources planning software and data analysis and marketing software. Our competitors include, among others, companies such as Business Objects, Chordiant, Informatica, Kana Communications, NCR, Onyx, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Pivotal, SAP AG, Siebel Systems and Xchange.
Many of these companies have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, sales, service and other resources than we do. Many of these companies also have a larger installed base of users, have been in business longer and/or have greater name recognition than we do. In addition, some large companies may attempt to build capabilities into their products that are similar to the capabilities of our products. Some of our competitors products may be more effective than our products at performing particular functions or be more customized for customers particular needs. Even if these functions are more limited than those provided by our products, our competitors software products could discourage potential customers from purchasing our products. Further, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to changes in customer requirements. In addition, our products must integrate with software solutions provided by a number of our

Our competitors have made and may also continue to make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with other software vendors. This may increase the ability of their products to address the need for software solutions such as ours, which provide both the ability to collect data from multiple sources and analyze that data to profile customer characteristics and preferences. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our current or future distributors or other parties with whom we have relationships, thereby limiting our ability to sell through these channels, reducing promotion of our products and limiting the number of consultants available to implement our software.
If the market for our products does not grow, our revenues will be harmed.
If the market in which we sell our products and services does not grow as we anticipate, our revenues will be lower than our expectations. If the market for software that enables companies to establish, manage, maintain and continually improve customer relationships by collecting and analyzing data to design and manage marketing campaigns and customize products and services and providing timely, consistent, multichannel customer interaction does not grow as quickly or become as large as we anticipate, our revenues will be lower than our expectations. Our market is still emerging, and our success depends on its growth. Our potential customers may:
| not understand or see the benefits of using these products, | |
| not achieve favorable results using these products, | |
| experience technical difficulty in implementing or using these products, or | |
| use alternative methods to solve the same or similar business problems. |
If we fail to develop new products or improve our existing products to meet or adapt to the changing needs and standards of our industry, sales of our products may decline.
Our future success depends on our ability to address the rapidly changing needs of our customers and potential customers. We must maintain and improve our E.piphany System and develop new products that include new technological developments, keep pace with products of our competitors and satisfy the changing requirements of our customers. If we do not, we may not achieve market acceptance and we may be unable to attract new customers. We may also lose existing customers, to whom we seek to sell additional software solutions and professional services. To achieve increased market acceptance of our products, we must, among other things, continue to:
| improve and introduce new customer relationship management software solutions, | |
| improve the effectiveness of our software, particularly in implementations involving very large databases and large numbers of simultaneous users, | |
| enhance our softwares ease of administration, | |
| design software for vertical markets, | |
| make available international versions of our software, | |
| improve our softwares ability to extract data from existing software systems, and | |
| adapt to rapidly changing computer operating system and database standards and Internet technology. |
We may not be successful in developing and marketing these or other new or improved products. If we are not successful, we may lose sales to competitors.
11
If our products do not stay compatible with currently popular software programs, we may lose sales and revenues.
The E.piphany System must work with commercially available software programs that are currently popular. If these software programs do not remain popular, or we do not update our software to be compatible with newer versions of these programs, we may lose customers.
In order to operate the E.piphany System, the system must be installed on a computer server running either the Microsoft Windows computer operating system or the Unix computer operating system, and a computer server running database software from IBM, Microsoft or Oracle. We are also currently developing products to be compliant with J2EE standards. This capability will allow our customers greater flexibility in the deployment of our software products. If we fail to successfully develop and maintain products compatible with these operating systems, database versions or programming standards, we may lose sales and revenues. In addition, users access the E.piphany System through standard Internet browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. If we fail to obtain access to developer versions of any of these software products, we may be unable to build and enhance our products on schedule. After installation, the E.piphany System collects and analyzes data to profile customers characteristics and preferences. This data may be stored in a variety of our customers existing software systems, including systems from Oracle, PeopleSoft, Siebel Systems, and SAP, running on a variety of computer operating systems. If we fail to enhance our software to collect data from new versions of these products, we may lose potential and existing customers. If we lose customers, our revenues and profitability may be harmed.
Our products have long sales cycles that make it difficult to plan expenses and forecast results.
It takes us between three and nine months to complete the majority of our sales and it can take us up to one year or longer. It is therefore difficult to predict if, and the quarter in which, a particular sale will occur and to plan expenditures accordingly. The period between initial contact with a potential customer and their purchase of products and services is relatively long due to several factors, including:
| the complex nature of our products, | |
| our need to educate potential customers about the uses and benefits of our products, | |
| the purchase of our products requires a significant investment of resources by a customer, | |
| our customers have budget cycles which affect the timing of purchases, | |
| uncertainty regarding future economic conditions, | |
| many of our potential customers require competitive evaluation and internal approval before purchasing our products, | |
| potential customers delay purchases due to announcements or planned introductions of new products by us or our competitors, and | |
| many of our potential customers are large organizations, which may require a long time to make decisions. |
The delay or failure to complete sales in a particular quarter could reduce our revenues in that quarter, as well as subsequent quarters over which revenues for the sale would likely be recognized. Our sales cycle lengthens when general economic conditions worsen and spending on information technology declines. If our sales cycle unexpectedly lengthens in general or for one or more large orders, it would adversely affect the timing of our revenues. If we were to experience a delay of several weeks on a large order, it could harm our ability to meet our forecasts for a given quarter.
12
If we fail to establish, maintain or expand our relationships with third parties, our ability to grow revenues could be harmed.
In order to grow our business, we must generate, retain and strengthen relationships with third parties. To date, we have established relationships with several companies, including consulting organizations and system integrators that implement our software, including Accenture, Deloitte & Touche, KPMG Consulting and PricewaterhouseCoopers; resellers, including Accenture, EDS, Hewlett-Packard and Harte-Hanks; and outsourcing or application services providers that use our software products to provide hosted services to their customers over the Internet, including EDS, Harte-Hanks and Interelate. If the third parties with whom we have relationships do not provide sufficient, high-quality service or integrate and support our software correctly, our revenues may be harmed. In addition, the third parties with whom we have relationships may offer products of other companies, including products that compete with our products. We typically enter into contracts with third parties that generally set out the nature of our relationships. However, our contracts do not require these third parties to devote resources to promoting, selling and supporting our products. Therefore we have little control over the actions of these third parties. We cannot assure you that we can generate and maintain relationships that offset the significant time and effort that are necessary to develop these relationships.
If we fail to expand our direct and indirect sales channels, we will not be able to increase revenues.
In order to grow our business, we need to increase market awareness and sales of our products and services. To achieve this goal, we need to increase the size, and enhance the productivity, of our direct sales force and indirect sales channels. If we fail to do so, this failure could harm our ability to increase revenues. We currently receive substantially all of our revenues from direct sales, but we intend to increase sales through indirect sales channels in the future.
We intend to derive revenues from indirect sales channels by selling our software through value added resellers. These resellers offer our software products to their customers together with consulting and implementation services or integrate our software solutions with other software. We expect as part of our strategy to increase international sales through the use of direct and indirect sales channels. We will be even more dependent on indirect sales channels in the future due to our international strategy.
If we fail to manage our recent growth, our ability to generate new revenues and achieve profitability would be harmed.
We have grown since our inception and will need to continue to grow in the future. Any failure to manage this growth could impede our ability to increase revenues and achieve profitability. Our future expansion could be expensive and strain our management and other resources. In order to manage growth effectively, we must:
| hire, train and integrate new personnel, | |
| integrate people and technologies from acquired companies, | |
| continue to augment our financial and accounting systems, | |
| manage our sales operations, which are located in several geographies, and | |
| expand our facilities. |
If we do not manage our growth effectively, our business could suffer.
If we acquire additional companies or technologies in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or adversely affect our operating results.
In addition to the acquisitions that we have already completed, we may acquire or make investments in other complementary companies, services and technologies in the future. If we fail to successfully complete
13
| properly evaluate the business, personnel and technology of the company to be acquired, | |
| accurately forecast the financial impact of the transaction, including accounting charges and transaction expenses, | |
| integrate and retain personnel, | |
| combine potentially different corporate cultures, | |
| effectively integrate products and research and development, sales, marketing and support operations, and | |
| maintain focus on our day-to-day operations. |
Further, the financial consequences of our acquisitions and investments may include potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, one-time write-offs, impairment charges, amortization expenses related to other intangible assets and contingent liabilities.
If others claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, we could incur significant expenses or be prevented from selling our products.
We cannot assure you that others will not claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights or that we do not in fact infringe those intellectual property rights. We have not conducted a search for existing intellectual property registrations and we may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our technology.
We have been contacted by a company that has asked us to evaluate the need for a license of several patents that the company holds directed to data extraction technology. This company has filed litigation alleging infringement of its patents against several of our competitors. We cannot assure you that the holder of the patents will not file litigation against us or that we would prevail in the case of such litigation. In addition, the patent holder has informed us that it has applications pending in numerous foreign countries. The patent holder may also have applications on file in the United States covering related subject matter, which are confidential until the patent or patents, if any, are issued.
Any litigation regarding intellectual property rights could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. This is true even if we are ultimately successful in defending against such litigation. The complexity of the technology involved and the uncertainty of intellectual property litigation increase these risks. Claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. Further, we may not be able to obtain royalty or license agreements on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We also may be subject to significant damages or an injunction against use of our products. A successful claim of patent or other intellectual property infringement against us would have an immediate material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, this inability could weaken our competitive position, reduce our revenues and increase our costs.
Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position may be harmed.
Our pending patent and trademark registration applications may not be allowed or competitors may successfully challenge the validity or scope of these registrations. In addition, our patents may not provide a significant competitive advantage. Other software providers could copy or otherwise obtain and use our
14
In addition, one of the ways in which we charge for our software is based on the number of users at a particular site that will be permitted to use the software. Organizations that have a site license for a fixed number of users for our products could allow unauthorized use of our software by unlicensed users. Unauthorized use is difficult to detect and, to the extent that our software is used without authorization, we may lose potential license fees.
The loss of key personnel, or any inability to attract and retain additional personnel, could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.
Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel, particularly in sales, marketing, research and development, service and support. If we are unable to do so, this inability could affect our ability to grow our business. Competition for qualified personnel in high technology is intense, particularly in the Silicon Valley region of Northern California where our principal offices are located. Our future success also depends upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key sales, engineering and technical staff. The loss of the services of our executive officers and other key personnel would harm our operations. None of our officers or key personnel are bound by an employment agreement and we do not maintain key person insurance on any of our employees. We would also be harmed if one or more of our officers or key employees decided to join a competitor or otherwise compete with us.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially since our initial public offering in September 1999. Consequently, potential employees may perceive our equity incentives such as stock options as less attractive and current employees whose options are no longer priced below market value may choose not to remain employed by us. In that case, our ability to attract or retain employees will be adversely affected.
Privacy and security concerns, particularly related to the use of our software, may limit the effectiveness of and reduce the demand for our products.
The effectiveness of our software products relies on the storage and use of customer data collected from various sources, including information collected on web sites, as well as other data derived from customer registrations, billings, purchase transactions and surveys. The collection and use of such data for customer profiling may raise privacy and security concerns. Our customers generally have implemented security measures to protect customer data from disclosure or interception by third parties. However, the security measures may not be effective against all potential security threats. If a well-publicized breach of customer data security were to occur, our software products may be perceived as less desirable, impacting our future sales and profitability.
In addition, due to privacy concerns, some Internet commentators, consumer advocates and governmental or legislative bodies have suggested legislation to limit the use of customer profiling technologies. The European Union and some European countries have already adopted some restrictions on the use of customer profiling data. In addition, Internet users can, if they choose, configure their web browsers to limit the collection of user data for customer profiling. Should many Internet users choose to limit the use of customer profiling technologies, or if major countries or regions adopt legislation or other restrictions on the use of customer profiling data, our software would be less useful to customers and our sales and profits could decrease.
15
Our products are new, and if they contain defects, or our services are not perceived as high quality, we could lose potential customers or be subject to damages.
We began shipping our first products in early 1998. Our products are complex and may contain currently unknown errors, defects or failures, particularly since they are new and recently released. In the past we have discovered software errors in some of our products after introduction. We may not be able to detect and correct errors before releasing our products commercially. If our commercial products contain errors, we may be required to:
| expend significant resources to locate and correct the error, | |
| delay introduction of new products or commercial shipment of products, or | |
| experience reduced sales and harm to our reputation from dissatisfied customers. |
Our customers also may encounter system configuration problems that require us to spend additional consulting or support resources to resolve these problems.
In addition, our customers generally store their data across computer networks, which are often connected to the Internet. Our software operates across our customers computer networks and can, at the customers option, be accessed through an Internet connection. Our software contains technology designed to prevent theft or loss of data. Nevertheless, customers may encounter security issues with their existing databases installed across networks, particularly the Internet, or with our software. A security breach involving our software, or a widely publicized security breach involving the Internet generally, could harm our sales. A security breach involving our software could also expose us to claims for damages.
Because our software products are used for important decision-making processes and enable our customers to interact with their customers, product defects may also give rise to product liability claims. Although our license agreements with customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure, some courts may not enforce all or part of these limitations. Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to date, we may encounter these claims in the future. Product liability claims, whether or not successful, could:
| divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business, | |
| be expensive to defend, and | |
| result in large damage awards. |
Our product liability insurance may not be adequate to cover all of the expenses resulting from a claim. In addition, if our customers do not find our services to be of high quality, they may elect to use other training, consulting and product integration firms rather than contract for our services. If customers are dissatisfied with our services, we may lose revenues.
We do not have substantial experience in international markets.
We have limited experience in marketing, selling and supporting our products and services abroad. If we are unable to grow our international operations successfully and in a timely manner, due to a lack of demand for our product, an inability to penetrate new markets or any other reasons, our business and operating results could be seriously harmed. In addition, doing business internationally involves greater expense and many additional risks, particularly:
| unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxes, trade laws and tariffs, | |
| differing intellectual property rights, | |
| differing labor regulations, | |
| unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, | |
| changes in a specific countrys or regions political or economic conditions, |
16
| greater difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations, and | |
| fluctuating exchange rates. |
Our international operations require a significant amount of attention from our management and substantial financial resources. As of December 31, 2001 we had 138 employees located in Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin America.
Seasonal trends in sales of business software may affect our quarterly revenues.
The market for business software has experienced seasonal fluctuations in demand. The first and third quarters of the year have been typically characterized by lower levels of revenue growth. We believe that these fluctuations are caused in part by customer buying patterns, which are influenced by year-end budgetary pressures and by sales force commission structures. As our revenues grow, we may experience additional seasonal fluctuations in our revenues.
Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent an acquisition of E.piphany.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make it harder for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our Board of Directors. For example, if a potential acquirer were to make a hostile bid for us, the acquirer would not be able to call a special meeting of stockholders to remove our Board of Directors or act by written consent without a meeting. In addition, our Board of Directors has staggered terms, which makes it difficult to remove them all at once. The acquirer would also be required to provide advance notice of its proposal to remove directors at an annual meeting. The acquirer also will not be able to cumulate votes at a meeting, which will require the acquirer to hold more shares to gain representation on our Board of Directors than if cumulative voting were permitted.
Our Board of Directors also has the ability to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. As a result, we could adopt a shareholder rights plan that could significantly dilute the equity ownership of a hostile acquirer. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law limits business combination transactions with 15% stockholders that have not been approved by the Board of Directors. These provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without negotiation. These provisions may apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.
Our Board of Directors could choose not to negotiate with an acquirer that it did not feel was in the strategic interests of our company. If the acquirer was discouraged from offering to acquire us, or prevented from successfully completing a hostile acquisition by the anti-takeover measures, you could lose the opportunity to sell your shares at a favorable price.
Item 2. Properties
We currently lease approximately 91,000 square feet of office space for our headquarters in one building in San Mateo, California. We also lease approximately 118,000 square feet of additional office space in five additional buildings in San Mateo, California. In addition, we lease sales and support offices near Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, St. Louis, Seattle, Toronto and Washington, DC that comprise approximately 115,000 square feet. We also lease sales and support offices outside of North America including locations in Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Melbourne, San Paolo, Singapore, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom that total approximately 31,000 square feet. Approximately 50% of the square footage of our U.S. and international facilities is currently subleased or available to be sublet to third parties.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
As of the date hereof, there is no material litigation pending against us other than as disclosed in the paragraph below. From time to time, we may be a party to litigation and claims incident to the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe
17
On July 9, 2001, a putative securities class action, captioned Kucera v. E.piphany, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 01-CV-6158, was filed against us, several of our officers, and three underwriters in our initial public offering, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 against all defendants, a violation of Section 15 of the Securities Act against the individual defendants, and violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the underwriters. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of common stock between September 21, 1999 and December 6, 2000. One additional lawsuit was filed subsequently which contains allegations substantially identical to those in the Kucera complaint.
Various plaintiffs have filed similar actions asserting virtually identical allegations against more than 300 other companies. The lawsuits against us have been coordinated for pretrial purposes with these other related lawsuits, and have been assigned the collective caption In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation. The coordinated pretrial proceedings are presently being overseen by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin. We believe we have meritorious defenses to these securities lawsuits and will defend ourselves vigorously.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the extent and timing of future revenues and expenses and customer demand, statements regarding the deployment of our products, and statements regarding our reliance on third parties. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to, those discussed in Risk Factors in Item 1 above and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We develop, market and sell the E.piphany System, an integrated suite of customer relationship management (CRM) software solutions. These CRM solutions provide capabilities for the analysis of customer data, the creation of inbound and outbound marketing campaigns, and the execution of sales and service customer interactions. Companies can implement the E.piphany System to gain insight into their customers characteristics and preferences, and then take action on that insight to better and more profitably serve those customers. To gain insight into their customers, companies use our analytic CRM solutions, which collect customer data from existing software systems or other E.piphany solutions, as well as third party data providers. To take action on this insight, companies use our operational CRM solutions to more effectively interact with their customers across a variety of communication and distribution channels.
We were founded in November 1996. From our founding through the end of 1997, we primarily engaged in research activities, developing products and building business infrastructure. We began shipping our first software product and first generated revenues from software license fees, implementation and consulting fees, and maintenance fees in early 1998. Despite our revenue growth, we have incurred significant costs to develop our technology and products, to recruit research and development personnel, to build a direct sales force and a professional services organization, and to expand our general and administrative infrastructure.
Acquisitions
On January 4, 2000, we acquired RightPoint Software, Inc., a provider of real time marketing software solutions that enable companies to optimize and present marketing offers, promotions, and communications while a customer is interacting with a web site, call center agent or other point of customer interaction. In connection with this transaction we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of RightPoint in exchange for 4,614,992 shares of our common stock. In addition, options and warrants of RightPoint were converted into options and warrants to purchase approximately 795,000 shares of our common stock. The total purchase price was approximately $496.8 million, of which $22.0 million was allocated to in-process research and development and expensed upon closing of the acquisition as it had not reached technological feasibility and, in managements opinion, had no alternative future use. We accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and the results of RightPoints operations subsequent to January 4, 2000 have been included in our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.
On May 1, 2000, we acquired iLeverage Corporation, a start-up company that develops marketing solutions for digital marketplaces. In connection with this transaction, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of iLeverage in exchange for 177,146 shares of our common stock. In addition, options of iLeverage were converted into options to purchase approximately 95,231 shares of our common stock. The total purchase price was approximately $29.0 million. We accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and the results of iLeverages operations subsequent to May 1, 2000 have been included in our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.
On May 31, 2000, we acquired Octane Software, Inc., a provider of next-generation multi-channel customer interaction applications and infrastructure software for sales, service and support. In connection with
20
On May 31, 2000, we acquired eClass Direct, Inc., an application service provider of permission-based e-mail marketing services. In connection with this transaction, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of eClass in exchange for 1,084,031 shares of our common stock. In addition, options of eClass were converted into options to purchase approximately 69,575 shares of our common stock. The total purchase price was approximately $50.3 million. We accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and the results of eClass operations subsequent to May 31, 2000 have been included in our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.
On January 29, 2001, we acquired certain intellectual property assets of Radnet, Inc. from a secured creditor of Radnet. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we issued 238,032 shares of common stock in exchange for the assets. The total purchase price was approximately $10.3 million. This transaction adds to our strategic intellectual property and complements our current product development plan. The purchased assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of three years.
On April 12, 2001, we acquired Moss Software, Inc., a provider of customer relationship management products that enable customers to resolve sales automation challenges and better manage sales cycles. In connection with this transaction, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Moss in exchange for 1,370,296 million shares of our common stock. In addition, we assumed all outstanding options to purchase Moss common stock. The total purchase price was approximately $40.6 million. We accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Moss operations subsequent to April 12, 2001 have been included in our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2001.
On September 30, 2001, we performed an impairment assessment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisitions of RightPoint, iLeverage, Octane, eClass and Moss and our acquisition of certain intellectual property assets of Radnet and recorded an impairment charge as described below.
Amortization and Write-Down of Goodwill and Purchased Intangibles
We periodically assess the impairment of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed of. We also periodically assess the impairment of enterprise level goodwill in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. As part of our review of our third quarter financial results, we performed an impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill in connection with all of our acquisitions. The impairment assessment was performed with the assistance of independent valuation experts to determine whether any impairment existed. The impairment indicators included, but were not limited to, the significant decline in our stock price, the net book value of assets which significantly exceeded our market capitalization, and the overall decline in industry growth rates which have negatively impacted our revenues and forecasted revenue growth rates. The decline in revenues and forecasted revenue growth rates precipitated our reduction in workforce and overall restructuring in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. As a result, we recorded a $1.7 billion impairment charge to reduce goodwill and other intangible assets associated with all of our acquisitions to reflect their current estimated fair market value. Fair market value was determined based on discounted future cash flows. It is reasonably possible that the estimates and assumptions used under our assessment may change in the short-term resulting in the need to further write-down our goodwill and other long-lived assets. The aggregate amortization and write-down of goodwill and these other intangible assets increased to $2.5 billion for the year ended
21
Beginning on January 1, 2002, our unamortized balance of $98.1 million of goodwill and other intangible assets will be subject to new accounting pronouncements SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, all acquired goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to a periodic impairment assessment. We will continue to amortize other intangible assets of $16.2 million on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives. Amortization related to these intangibles is expected to be $10.5 million for 2002, $5.0 million for 2003 and $0.7 million for 2004. Please see Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information.
Stock Option Exchange Program
On April 2, 2001, we announced a voluntary stock option exchange program for our employees. Under the program, employees were given the opportunity to elect to cancel outstanding stock options held by them in exchange for an equal number of new options to be granted at a future date at the then current fair market value. These elections needed to be made by May 1, 2001 and were required to include all options granted during the prior six-month period. A total of 614 employees elected to participate in the exchange program. Those 614 employees tendered a total of 5,849,237 options to purchase our common stock in return for our promise to grant new options on the grant date of November 5, 2001. A total of 4,687,353 options were granted at the fair market value of $6.44 per share on November 5, 2001 to those employees who had been continuously employed with us from the date they tendered their original options through November 5, 2001. The exchange program was not made available to our executive officers, directors, consultants, former employees or any of our employees who were residents of The Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain or Brazil or who were employed by our subsidiaries located in those countries.
Restructuring and Related Activities
In the third quarter of 2001, our Board of Directors approved a plan to restructure our worldwide operations including a reduction in workforce and the consolidation of our operating facilities. The restructuring resulted in a total charge of $43.0 million to account for these activities. Of this total charge, $5.8 million was paid in cash and $4.8 million reflects a non-cash charge taken during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001. We recorded the low end of a range of assumptions modeled for the restructuring charge, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Please see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information.
Source of Revenues and Revenue Recognition Policy
We generate revenues principally from licensing our software solutions directly to customers and providing related services including implementation, consulting, support and training. Through December 31, 2001, substantially all of our revenues were generated by our direct sales force. Our license agreements generally provide that customers pay a software license fee to perpetually use one or more software solutions within specified limits. The amount of the license fee varies depending on which software solution is purchased, the number of software solutions purchased and the scope of usage rights. Customers can subsequently pay additional license fees to expand the right to use previously licensed software solutions, or to purchase additional software solutions. Each software solution included in the E.piphany System contains the same core technology, allowing for easy integration of additional software solutions as they are licensed from us. Our software solutions are made available either on compact disc or electronically.
Customers generally require consulting and implementation services, which include evaluating their business needs, identifying the data sources necessary to meet these needs and installing the software solution in a manner that fulfills their requirements. Customers can purchase these services directly from third-party consulting organizations, such as Accenture, Deloitte & Touche, KPMG Consulting and
22
Fees from licenses are recognized as revenue upon contract execution, provided that all delivery obligations have been met, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and vendor specific objective evidence exists to allocate the total fee between all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement. If vendor specific objective evidence does not exist to allocate the total fee to all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the time at which (1) such evidence does exist for the undelivered elements, or (2) all elements are delivered. Fees from license agreements that include the right to receive unspecified future products are recognized over the term of the arrangement or, if not specified, the estimated economic life of the product. When we receive license fees from resellers, we recognize revenue when the above criteria have been met and the reseller has sold the subject licenses through to the end-user.
When licenses are sold together with consulting and implementation services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (1) the above criteria have been met, (2) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, and (3) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software. For arrangements that dont meet the above criteria, both the product license revenues and services revenues are recognized in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts. When reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services, we account for the arrangements under the percentage of completion contract method pursuant to SOP 81-1. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized. To date, when we have been primarily responsible for the implementation of the software, services have been considered essential to the functionality of the software products and therefore have been recognized pursuant to SOP 81-1. Prior to 2001, E.piphany was primarily responsible for the implementation services for the majority of its license arrangements. In 2001, third-party consulting organizations were primarily responsible for the implementation services for the majority of E.piphanys license arrangements and therefore less license revenue was recognized pursuant to SOP 81-1.
Maintenance agreements generally call for us to provide technical support and software updates to customers. Revenue from technical support and software updates is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement and is included in services revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We also provide consulting, implementation and training services to our customers separately from our sales of product licenses. Revenue from such services, when not sold in conjunction with product licenses, is generally recognized as the services are performed.
Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses
Our cost of license revenues primarily consist of license fees due to third parties for integrated technology. Our cost of services revenues include salaries and related expenses for our implementation, consulting, support and training organizations, costs of subcontracting to consulting organizations to provide consulting services to customers and an allocation of facilities, communications and depreciation expenses. Our operating expenses are classified into three general categories: sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative. We classify all charges to these operating expense categories based on the nature of the expenditures. We allocate the costs for overhead and facilities to each of the functional areas that use the overhead and facilities services based on their headcount. These allocated charges include facility rent for corporate offices, communication charges and depreciation expenses for office furniture and equipment.
Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development costs as incurred. Since license revenues from our software solutions are not

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and our related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, intangible assets, income taxes, and restructuring. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis of judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Where our internal services organization is providing services that are essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue and profit as implementation services are performed on software license arrangements, using the percentage of completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. We follow this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various stages of a contract can be made. Recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Revisions in profit estimates are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required which would result in an additional general and administrative expense in the period such determination was made.
We recorded an impairment charge in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 in order to write down the value of our goodwill and other intangible assets. We will continue to evaluate our goodwill value on a periodic basis. In the event that in the future, it is determined that the goodwill value has been impaired, an adjustment to goodwill will be made resulting in a charge for the write-down in the period in which the determination was made.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made, increasing income in the period in which such determination was made.
We took a restructuring charge in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 that resulted in an accrual to be used to offset future rent expense, net of sublease income, that is related to abandoned properties. We took a further related charge in the quarter ended December 31, 2001 in order to adjust our initial accrual, on the basis of revised estimates. We have worked with external real estate experts in each of the markets where the properties are located to determine what the best estimate of the accrual should be. However, if the real estate market continues to worsen and we are not able to sublease the properties as expected, additional adjustments to the accrual may be required, which would result in additional restructuring costs in the period in which such determination is made. Likewise, if the real estate market strengthens, and we are able to sublease the properties earlier or at more favorable rates than projected, adjustments to the accrual may be required that would increase net income in the period in which such determination is made.

Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 |
Revenues |
Total revenues decreased to $125.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $127.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Total revenues increased for the first two quarters of 2001 as compared to the first two quarters of 2000. However, this increase was offset by a decrease in revenues for the last two quarters of 2001 as compared to the last two quarters of 2000. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to fewer sales of our product licenses resulting from an economic slowdown and the significant decline in spending by companies on information technology, particularly in the United States. For the year ended 2001, domestic revenue declined by $25.1 million or 21%. This decrease was offset in part by an increase in
25
Product license revenues decreased to $71.1 million, or 57% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $73.5 million, or 58% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Product license revenues increased for the first two quarters of 2001 as compared to the first two quarters of 2000. This increase was offset by a decrease for the last two quarters of 2001 as compared to the last two quarters of 2000. This decrease in product license revenues was primarily due to the downturn in the economy and weakness in information technology spending, particularly in the United States. Although sequentially down from 2000 to 2001, license revenues were sequentially flat for the last three quarters of 2001.
Services revenues increased to $54.6 million, or 43% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $53.8 million, or 42% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Services revenues increased for the first two quarters of 2001 as compared to the first two quarters of 2000. This increase was offset by a decrease for the last two quarters of 2001 as compared to the last two quarters of 2000. The decrease was due in part to the decrease in product license revenues and in part to the change in our strategy from fulfilling most of our customers consulting needs with our internal services professionals to encouraging our customers to contract directly with third-party integrators. This approach was adopted in conjunction with our overall strategy to strengthen our alliances with system integrators that recommend and implement our software on customers computer systems. The decrease in consulting revenue was offset by an increase in maintenance revenue attributable to maintenance contracts sold to our new customers.
The relative amount of services revenues as compared to license revenues has varied depending on the extent to which third party consulting organizations are engaged directly by customers to provide professional services, the nature of the solution that has been licensed, the complexity of customers information technology environment, the resources allocated by customers to implementation projects and the scope of licensed rights. Services revenues have substantially lower margins relative to product license revenues. This is especially true when we are required to subcontract with consulting organizations to supplement our internal professional services organization. To the extent that services revenues become a greater percentage of our total revenues and services margins do not increase, our overall gross margins will decline.
Cost of Revenues |
Total cost of revenues was effectively unchanged at $55.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Cost of product license revenues consists primarily of license fees paid to third parties under technology license arrangements and have not been significant to date. Cost of services revenues consists primarily of the costs of consulting, maintenance and training services.
Cost of services revenues decreased to $53.2 million, or 97% of services revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $54.1 million, or 101% of services revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Cost of services revenue increased for the first two quarters of 2001 as compared to the first two quarters of 2000. This increase was offset by a decrease in the cost of services revenue for the last two quarters of 2001 as compared to the last two quarters of 2000. The decrease was the result of a significant reduction in the number of internal professional services employees due to the change in our strategy from fulfilling all of our customers consulting needs with our internal services professionals to encouraging our customers to contract directly with third-party integrators. This approach was adopted in conjunction with our overall strategy to strengthen our alliances with system integrators that recommend and implement our software. The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenue from 2000 to 2001 is primarily due to a higher proportion of maintenance revenue, which has more favorable margins.
26
Operating Expenses |
Research and Development |
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs associated with our product development efforts. Research and development expenses increased to $41.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 33% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 21% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to a higher number of research and development employees entering 2001 as compared to 2000 as a result of internal growth and acquisitions, and increased fees paid to outside contractors for the translation of our products. This increase was offset by the restructuring of our operations that occurred in the third quarter of 2001, which resulted in a reduction in the number of employees and a restructuring charge that reduced operating expenses in the third and fourth quarters of 2001. We believe that investments in product development are essential to our future success. We anticipate that research and development expenses will increase over the long term.
Sales and Marketing |
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits and commissions, and the costs of trade shows, seminars, promotional materials and other sales and marketing programs. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $88.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $67.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 70% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 53% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of sales and marketing employees entering 2001 as compared to 2000, resulting from internal growth and acquisitions. In this regard, we established sales offices in additional domestic and international locations including ones in Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America. This increase was offset by the restructuring of our operations that occurred in the third quarter of 2001, which resulted in a reduction in the number of employees and in a restructuring charge that reduced operating expenses in the third and fourth quarters of 2001. Maintaining sales and marketing expenses at the level of the fourth quarter would result in lower annual expenses for 2002 as compared to 2001. We anticipate, however, that these expenses may increase over the long-term.
General and Administrative |
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses for executive, finance, legal and administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses increased to $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $21.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 19% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 17% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of general and administrative employees entering 2001 as compared to 2000, which were necessary to support our expanding operations. This increase was offset by the restructuring of our operations that occurred in the third quarter of 2001, which resulted in a reduction in the number of employees and a restructuring charge that reduced operating expenses in the third and fourth quarters. Maintaining general and administrative expenses at the level of the fourth quarter would result in lower annual expenses for 2002 as compared to 2001, however we anticipate that these expenses may increase over the long-term.
In-Process Research and Development Charge |
In connection with the acquisitions of RightPoint and Octane, we recorded charges for in-process research and development of $22.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2000. The value assigned to purchased in-process technology was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net
27
There was no in-process research and development charge incurred during the year ended December 31, 2001. Please see Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information.
Amortization and Write-Down of Goodwill and Purchased Intangibles |
Our acquisitions of Moss, Octane, eClass, iLeverage and RightPoint were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets representing the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. The aggregate amortization and write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets was $2.5 billion and $697.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase was due to the $1.7 billion impairment of goodwill and intangible assets charge that was included in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Beginning on January 1, 2002, our unamortized balance of $98.1 million of goodwill and other intangible assets will be subject to the new accounting pronouncements SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result acquired goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to a periodic impairment assessment. The Company will continue to amortize other intangible assets of $16.2 million on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives. Amortization related to these intangibles is expected to be $10.5 million for 2002, $5.0 million for 2003 and $0.7 million for 2004.
Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-based compensation consists of amortization of deferred compensation in connection with stock option grants and sales of stock to employees at exercise or sales prices below the deemed fair market value of our common stock and compensation related to equity instruments issued to non-employees for services rendered. In connection with the grant of certain stock options to employees during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, we recorded deferred compensation of approximately $1.4 million, $0, and $2.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, deferred compensation remaining to be amortized totaled $0.9 million. This amount is being amortized over the respective vesting periods of these equity instruments in a manner consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28. Total stock-based compensation was $1.6 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Based on our deferred compensation balance as of December 31, 2001, we expect amortization of approximately $0.6 million, $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $50,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the accounting treatment for stock-based compensation.
Interest Income, Net |
Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased to $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease was due to lower average cash and investment balances and a decrease in the average rate of return on our investments.
Provision for Income Taxes |
From inception through December 31, 2001, we incurred net losses for federal and state tax purposes and have not recognized any tax provision or benefit. As of December 31, 2001, we had $161.6 and $137.3 million of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire on varying dates beginning in 2012 through 2021 and the state

Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 |
Revenues |
Total revenues increased to $127.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This rapid growth in revenues reflected our relatively early stage of development in 1999.
Product license revenues increased to $73.5 million, or 58% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $10.2 million, or 53% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in product license revenues was due to an increase in the number and average size of licenses sold, the growth of our direct sales force, and the introduction and shipment of new products.
Services revenues increased to $53.8 million, or 42% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $9.0 million, or 47% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in dollar amount of services revenues was primarily attributable to increased implementation and consulting services performed in connection with increased license sales and to maintenance contracts sold to our new customers.
Cost of Revenues |
Total cost of revenues increased to $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Cost of product license revenues consists primarily of license fees paid to third parties under technology license arrangements and have not been significant to date. Cost of services revenues consists primarily of the costs of consulting and customer service and support. Cost of services revenues increased to $54.1 million, or 101% of services revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $9.2 million, or 102% of services revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in cost of services revenues in absolute dollars resulted primarily from the hiring of additional employees and the subcontracting of consulting services to consulting organizations to support increased customer demand for consulting services. Cost of services revenues exceeded services revenues due to the rapid growth of our services organization and our investment in experienced management in anticipation of future revenue growth.
Operating Expenses |
Research and Development |
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs associated with our product development efforts. Research and development expenses increased to $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in the number of employees engaged in research and development from our internal growth and acquisitions. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 37% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to 21% for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Sales and Marketing |
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits and commissions, and the costs of trade shows, seminars, promotional materials and other sales and marketing programs. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $67.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased
29
General and Administrative |
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses for executive, finance, legal and administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses increased to $21.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of executive, finance, legal and administrative employees from our internal growth and acquisitions, which were necessary to support our expanding operations. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 24% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to 17% for the year ended December 31, 2000.
In-Process Research and Development Charge |
In connection with the acquisition of RightPoint and Octane, we recorded a charge of $47.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2000. Please see Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information.
Amortization and Write-Down of Goodwill and Purchased Intangibles |
Our acquisitions of Octane, eClass, iLeverage and RightPoint were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets representing the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. The amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets was 697.1 million in fiscal 2000. There was no write-down of goodwill or other intangible assets in 2000. There were no acquisitions that closed prior to fiscal 2000.
Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-based compensation consists of amortization of deferred compensation in connection with stock option grants and sales of stock to employees at exercise or sales prices below the deemed fair market value of our common stock and compensation related to equity instruments issued to non-employees for services rendered. We have recorded aggregate deferred compensation of $5.8 million related to stock-based compensation to employees. This amount is being amortized over the respective vesting periods of these equity instruments in a manner consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28. Total stock-based compensation was $3.5 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the accounting treatment for stock-based compensation.
Interest Income, Net |
Interest income, net of interest expense increased to $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in interest income, net of interest expense, was due to increased cash balances as a result of the completion of our initial public offering in September 1999 and our follow-on public offering in January 2000.
Provision for Income Taxes |
From inception through December 31, 2000, we incurred net losses for federal and state tax purposes and have not recognized any tax provision or benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $69.7 million, $19.0 million and $17.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used in operating activities for each period resulted principally from net losses in those periods, net of non-cash charges for amortization and write-down of goodwill and purchased intangibles, in-process research and development, and stock-based compensation. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 also resulted from a decrease in accrued liabilities and in deferred revenue, which was offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 also resulted from an increase in accounts receivable, which was partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 also resulted from an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets, however, this was more than offset by an increase in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $54.5 million, $74.2 million and $25.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 resulted from the purchases of investments, net of sales of investments, and the purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 resulted from the purchase of investments, the direct costs of our acquisitions, and the purchase of property and equipment, which was partially offset by cash acquired in acquisitions. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 resulted from the purchase of investments and the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $7.6 million, $355.1 million and $88.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 resulted from the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 resulted from the receipt of proceeds from our secondary offering completed during the first quarter of 2000. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 resulted from the proceeds from our initial public offering, borrowings against a line of credit and issuances of convertible preferred and common stock.
As of December 31, 2001, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $202.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $121.3 million in short-term investments. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least 12 months. If we require additional capital resources to grow our business internally or to acquire complementary technologies and businesses at any time in the future, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or secure a bank line of credit. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We cannot assure you that any financing arrangements will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us in the future.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), which provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. As amended, this statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We applied the new rules prospectively to transactions beginning in the first quarter of 2001. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. FIN No. 44 addresses the application of APB No. 25 to clarify, among other issues (1) the definition of employee for purposes of applying APB No. 25, (2) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (3) the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (4) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN No. 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions cover specific events
31
In June 2001, the FASB approved for issuance SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations and No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Major provisions of these Statements are as follows: (1) all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting; the pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001, (2) intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability, (3) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment periodically using a fair value approach, except in certain circumstances, and whenever there is an impairment indicator; other intangible assets will continue to be valued and amortized over their estimated lives, (4) in-process research and development will continue to be written off immediately, (5) all acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting, and (6) effective January 1, 2002, existing goodwill will no longer be subject to amortization.
Amortization and write-down of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $2.5 billion, which includes a $1.7 billion impairment of goodwill and intangible assets charge. Beginning on January 1, 2002, our unamortized balance of $98.1 million of goodwill and other intangible assets will be subject to the new accounting pronouncements SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. As a result, acquired goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will continue to be subject to a periodic impairment assessment. We will continue to amortize other intangible assets of $16.2 million on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives. Amortization related to these intangibles is expected to be $10.5 million for 2002, $5.0 million for 2003 and $0.7 million for 2004.
In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on EITF No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendors Products. EITF No. 01-9 addresses the accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer and is a codification of EITF No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives, EITF No. 00-22 Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentives Offers and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future and EITF No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendors Products. We do not believe that upon adoption it will have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In November 2001, the staff of the FASB reached consensus on Topic No. D-103, on the topic of Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred. This topic addresses whether reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred should be characterized in the income statement as revenue or as a reduction of expenses incurred. The FASB staff concluded that reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred should be characterized as revenue in the income statement. Historically, we have recorded reimbursements as a reduction of services cost of revenue. This announcement will be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001, and comparative financial statements for prior periods will be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. We believe the adoption of this pronouncement will not result in a material increase in our services revenue and services cost of revenue.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
32
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The majority of our operations are based in the United States and, accordingly, the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. Dollars. However, we do have foreign-based operations where transactions are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. Currently, we have international operations in Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America and conduct transactions in the local currency of each location. To date, our exposure to fluctuations in the relative value of other currencies has been limited because substantially all of our assets are denominated in U.S. Dollars, and those assets which are not denominated in U.S. Dollars have generally been denominated in historically stable currencies. Therefore, the impact to our financial statements has not been material. To date, we have not entered into any foreign exchange hedges or other derivative financial instruments. We will continue to evaluate our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk on a regular basis.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing in diversified investments, consisting only of investment grade securities.
As of December 31, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $202.9 million that consist of cash and highly liquid short-term investments having maturity dates of no more than 90 days. Declines of interest rates over time would reduce our interest income from our highly liquid short-term investments. Based upon our balance of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease in interest rates of 0.5% would cause a corresponding decrease in our annual interest income by approximately $1.0 million.
As of December 31, 2001, we had short-term investments of $121.3 million that consist of taxable fixed income securities having maturity dates of no more than one year. Declines of interest rates over time would reduce our interest income from our short-term investments. Based upon our balance of short-term investments, a decrease in interest rates of 0.5% would cause a corresponding decrease in our annual interest income by approximately $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2001, we did not have any short-term or long-term debt outstanding.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of E.piphany, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of E.piphany, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of E.piphanys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E.piphany, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

E.PIPHANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Operations
E.piphany, Inc. (E.piphany or the Company), was incorporated in Delaware in November 1996. E.piphany develops, markets and licenses web-based analytic and operational CRM software products, and related services, to unify inbound and outbound marketing, sales and service customer interactions. E.piphany enables a single, enterprise-wide view of each customer to help global businesses better understand and proactively serve customers in real time. Although E.piphany began actively selling its products in 1998 and no longer considers itself to be in the development stage, it has not operated profitably to date and there are no assurances that it will operate profitably in the future. E.piphanys worldwide headquarters is in San Mateo, California. E.piphany has regional domestic offices in the United States, as well as, international offices in Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of E.piphany, Inc. and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had one subsidiary, Nihon E.piphany, K.K., as to which it maintained less than 100% ownership. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation |
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of international non-U.S. functional currency subsidiaries into dollars at the current rates of exchange in effect during each period. Revenues and expenses are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are included in stockholders equity in the consolidated balance sheet caption Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Currency transaction gains or losses, derived on monetary assets and liabilities stated in a currency other than the functional currency, are recognized in current operations and have not been significant to the Companys operating results in any period. The effect of foreign currency rate changes on cash and cash equivalents has not been significant in any period.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and reported expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets |
The Company evaluates long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.
Statements of Cash Flows |
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, E.piphany considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of amounts on deposit at a commercial bank and investments in commercial paper and other securities.
41
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Short-Term Investments |
The Company classifies all of its short-term investments as available-for-sale securities. Such short-term investments consist primarily of United States government and federal agency securities, corporate commercial paper and corporate bonds that are stated at market value, with unrealized gains and losses on such securities reflected, net of tax, as other comprehensive income in stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses on short-term investments are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities. It is the Companys intent to maintain a liquid portfolio to take advantage of investment opportunities; therefore, all securities are considered to be available-for-sale and are classified as current assets.
Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue |
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized. Deferred revenue consists of amounts received from customers for which revenue has not been recognized. This generally results from license revenue being deferred until all requirements under SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts are met, professional services revenue being deferred until services are rendered, and amounts paid in advance for maintenance contracts. Deferred license revenue is recognized upon delivery of our product, as services are rendered, or as other requirements requiring deferral under SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1 are satisfied. Deferred services revenue is recognized as services are rendered and deferred maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers |
The carrying value of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable approximates fair market value. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments and trade accounts receivable. Management believes the financial risks associated with these financial instruments are minimal. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and investments with high quality financial institutions. The Companys customer base consists of businesses in Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses; historically, such reserves have been adequate to cover the actual losses incurred.
Sales to significant customers as a percentage of total revenues were as follows:

Software Development Costs |
Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development expenses. E.piphany defines establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the products are capitalized, if material, after consideration of various factors, including net realizable value.

Stock-Based Compensation |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, in October 1995. This accounting standard permits the use of either a fair value based method of accounting or the method defined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for stock-based compensation arrangements. Companies that elect to employ the method prescribed by APB 25 are required to disclose the pro forma net income (loss) that would have resulted from the use of the fair value based method. E.piphany has elected to continue to account for its stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of APB 25, and accordingly, has included in Note 5 the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123.
Income Taxes |
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
45
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, along with net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards, when it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will realized. To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot be recognized under the preceding criteria, allowances must be established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using applicable tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Revenue Recognition |
E.piphany recognizes revenue according to the following:
Licenses. Fees from licenses are recognized as revenue upon contract execution, provided all delivery obligations have been met, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and vendor specific objective evidence exists to allocate the total fee between all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement. If vendor specific objective evidence does not exist to allocate the total fee to all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the time at which (1) such evidence does exist for the undelivered elements, or (2) all elements are delivered. Fees from license agreements that include the right to receive unspecified future products are recognized over the term of the arrangement or, if not specified, the estimated economic life of the product. When we receive license fees from resellers, we recognize revenue when the above criteria have been met and the reseller has sold the subject licenses through to the end-user.
When licenses are sold together with consulting and implementation services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (1) the above criteria have been met, (2) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, and (3) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software. For arrangements that dont meet the above criteria, both the product license revenues and services revenues are recognized in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts. When reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services, we account for the arrangements under the percentage of completion contract method pursuant to SOP 81-1. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized. To date, when E.piphany has been primarily responsible for the implementation of the software, services have been considered essential to the functionality of the software products and therefore have been recognized pursuant to SOP 81-1. Prior to 2001, E.piphany was primarily responsible for the implementation services for the majority of its license arrangements. In 2001, third-party consulting organizations were primarily responsible for the implementation services for the majority of E.piphanys license arrangements and therefore less license revenues was recognized pursuant to SOP 81-1.
Maintenance Agreements. Maintenance agreements generally call for E.piphany to provide technical support and software updates to customers. Revenue on technical support and software update rights is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement and is included in services revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Consulting, Implementation and Training Services. E.piphany provides consulting, implementation and training services to its customers. Revenue from such services is generally recognized as the services are performed.
As of December 31, 2000 and 2001, $3.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of accounts receivable was unbilled and recognized as revenue due to services performed in advance of billings.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement Of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, in October 1997. The Company believes it is in compliance with this standard. E.piphany adopted SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition,
46
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
with Respect to Certain Transactions, on January 1, 2000 and had no material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101), which explains how the SEC staff believes existing revenue recognition rules should be applied or analogized to transactions not addressed by existing rules. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB 101 in its fourth fiscal quarter of 2000. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Advertising Costs |
The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred, which totaled $0.8 million, $1.7 million, and $3.9 million during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which E.piphany adopted beginning on January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and the display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The objective of SFAS No. 130 is to report comprehensive income, the measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that results from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with stockholders. Comprehensive income equals the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity.
Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share |
Basic and diluted net loss per common share are presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, for all periods presented. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase (in thousands, except per share amounts).

Segment Reporting |
SFAS No. 131 Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information requires a new basis of determining reportable business segments (i.e., the management approach). This approach requires that business segment information used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and manage company resources be the source for segment information disclosure. On this basis, E.piphany is organized and operates as one business segment, which manages the design, development, marketing, and sale of software solutions and related services. The Company distributes its products in the United States and in foreign countries through its sales personnel and indirect channel partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. As amended, this statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. E.piphany applied the new rules prospectively to transactions beginning in the first quarter of 2001. The adoption did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. FIN No. 44 addresses the application of APB No. 25 to clarify, among other issues (1) the definition of employee for purposes of applying APB No. 25, (2) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (3) the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (4) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN No. 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions cover specific events that occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000. The effects of applying the interpretation have been recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. The adoption did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB approved for issuance SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations and No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Major provisions of these Statements are as follows: (1) all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting; the pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001, (2) intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability, (3) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment periodically using a fair value approach, except in certain circumstances, and whenever there is an impairment indicator; other intangible assets will continue to be valued and amortized over their estimated lives, (4) in-process research and development will continue to be written off immediately, (5) all acquired goodwill must be assigned to
48
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting, and (6) effective January 1, 2002, existing goodwill will no longer be subject to amortization.
Amortization and write-down of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $2.5 billion, which includes a $1.7 billion impairment of goodwill and intangible assets charge. Beginning on January 1, 2002, our unamortized balance of $98.1 million of goodwill and other intangible assets will be subject to the new accounting pronouncements SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. As a result, acquired goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will continue to be subject to a periodic impairment assessment. The Company will continue to amortize other intangible assets of $16.2 million on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives. Amortization related to these intangibles is expected to be $10.5 million for 2002, $5.0 million for 2003 and $0.7 million for 2004.
In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on EITF No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendors Products. EITF No. 01-9 addresses the accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer and is a codification of EITF No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives, EITF No. 00-22 Accounting for Points and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentives Offers and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future and EITF No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendors Products. The Company does not believe that upon adoption it will have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In November 2001, the staff of the FASB reached consensus on Topic No. D-103, on the topic of Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred. This topic addresses whether reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred should be characterized in the income statement as revenue or as a reduction of expenses incurred. The FASB staff concluded that reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred should be characterized as revenue in the income statement. This announcement will be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001, and comparative financial statements for prior periods will be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. Historically, the Company has recorded reimbursements as a reduction of services cost of revenue. The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not result in a material increase in the Companys services revenue and services cost of revenue.
3. Commitments and Contingencies
E.piphany leases certain equipment and its facilities under operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2013. Future minimum lease payments under these leases as of December 31, 2001 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
ended December 31, 2001 the Company also received sublease income of approximately $1.0 million of which approximately $0.4 million reduced its rent expense and approximately $0.6 million reduced its restructuring charge.
Legal Proceedings |
As of the date hereof, there is no material litigation pending against us other than as disclosed in the paragraphs below. From time to time, we may be a party to litigation and claims incident to the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
On July 9, 2001, a putative securities class action, captioned Kucera v. E.piphany, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 01-CV-6158, was filed against us, several of our officers, and three underwriters in our initial public offering, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 against all defendants, a violation of Section 15 of the Securities Act against the individual defendants, and violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the underwriters. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of common stock between September 21, 1999 and December 6, 2000. One additional lawsuit was filed subsequently which contains allegations substantially identical to those in the Kucera complaint.
Various plaintiffs have filed similar actions asserting virtually identical allegations against more than 300 other companies. The lawsuits against us have been coordinated for pretrial purposes with these other related lawsuits, and have been assigned the collective caption In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation. The coordinated pretrial proceedings are presently being overseen by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin. We believe we have meritorious defenses to these securities lawsuits and will defend ourselves vigorously.
Restructuring Costs |
In the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company initiated a plan to restructure its worldwide operations, by among other things, reducing its workforce and consolidating its operating facilities. This plan was executed during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001. Over the two quarters, the restructuring resulted in a total charge of $43.0 million to account for these activities. Of this total charge, $5.8 million was paid in cash and $4.8 million reflects a non-cash charge taken during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001. We recorded the low end of a range of assumptions modeled for the restructuring charge, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Adjustments to the restructuring reserves will be made in future periods, if necessary, based upon the then current actual events and circumstances.

Severance and related charges primarily consisted of involuntary termination benefits and payroll taxes. As of December 31, 2001, the remaining accrued balance of approximately $0.1 million consisted primarily of severance costs that are expected to result in cash payments during the quarter ending March 31, 2002. Lease termination costs of $36.0 million are based on estimated exit costs associated with the abandonment of certain leased facilities in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York, and San Mateo for the remaining lease terms. These lease termination costs reflect remaining lease liabilities and brokerage fees stated at actual cost reduced by estimated sublease income. The estimated costs of abandoning these leased facilities, including estimated costs to sublease, were based on market information trend analyses provided by a commercial real estate brokerage firm retained by the Company. Actual future cash requirements may differ materially from the accrual balance at December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, $32.3 million of lease termination costs, net of anticipated sublease income, remains accrued and is expected to be utilized by fiscal 2013.
Letters of Credit |
In February 2001, the Company entered into four secured letters of credit totaling $5.2 million with a bank. These letters of credit, which expired in February 2002 were renewed for an additional one year term, which expire in February 2003. In July 2001, the Company entered into a secured letter of credit totaling $0.5 million with a bank, which expires in July 2002. In October 2001, the Company entered into a $0.4 million secured letter of credit with a bank, which expires in October 2002. In November 2001, the Company entered into a $3.3 million secured letter of credit with a bank, which expires in November 2002. These letters of credit collateralize the Companys obligations to third-parties for lease payments and are secured by cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
4. Preferred Stock
During 1997 through 1999, E.piphany issued 17,340,000 shares of preferred stock. These shares were converted to shares of common stock upon the closing of E.piphanys initial public offering (IPO) on September 21, 1999. Upon the closing of the IPO, E.piphany authorized 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock for future issuance. E.piphany held a special meeting of stockholders on December 6, 2000, during which the stockholders of E.piphany approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, from 5,000,000 to 25,000,000 shares.

In July 1998, E.piphanys chief executive officer purchased 2,400,000 shares of common stock under a restricted stock purchase agreement in exchange for a promissory note (see Note 7). Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, E.piphany has the right to repurchase the common stock at the original purchase price upon the occurrence of certain events. The repurchase right expires over a 48-month period. As of December 31, 2001, 250,000 shares of common stock were subject to repurchase by E.piphany.
In addition, certain employees have early exercised stock options that are not fully vested. All early exercised but unvested stock options are subject to repurchase by E.piphany at the original exercise price, if the employees employment is terminated prior to the time the stock options would have vested. As of December 31, 2001, 363,430 shares of common stock were subject to repurchase under stock options agreements with these employees.
As of December 31, 2001, E.piphany had reserved the following shares of authorized but unissued common stock:

Warrants |
In June 1999, E.piphany issued a warrant to purchase 46,875 shares of Series C preferred stock at $2.25 per share in connection with obtaining an equipment lease line. The fair value of the warrant at the date of issuance was determined to be $141,000 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.2%; expected life of 3 years; and expected volatility of 85%. This warrant was exercised during 2000.
Upon the closing of the Companys IPO, all warrants to purchase preferred stock converted to warrants to purchase common stock.
Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-based compensation consists of amortization of deferred compensation in connection with stock option grants and sales of stock to employees at exercise or sales prices below the deemed fair market value of our common stock and compensation related to equity instruments issued to non-employees for services rendered. In connection with the grant of certain stock options to employees during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, we recorded deferred compensation of approximately $2.8 million, $0, and $1.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, deferred compensation remaining to be amortized totaled $0.9 million. This amount is being amortized over the respective vesting periods of these equity
52
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
instruments in a manner consistent with FIN No. 28. Compensation expense is decreased in the period of forfeiture for any accrued but unvested compensation arising from the early termination of an option holders services.
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, E.piphany recorded stock-based compensation of $0.4 million, $2.0 million, and $50,000, respectively, related to equity instruments issued to non-employees. Stock-based compensation related to stock options to purchase common stock that are issued to non-employees is determined based upon the fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.
1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
On June 30, 1999, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of E.piphanys 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan). A total of 7,360,591 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2001. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions at 85% of the fair market value of the common stock, as defined in the Purchase Plan. As of December 31, 2001, 1,328,439 shares had been purchased and 6,032,152 shares are available for future issuance under the Purchase Plan.
Initial Public Offering |
On September 21, 1999, E.piphany completed an initial public offering of 7,158,750 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.66 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $69.6 million.
Secondary Offering |

E.piphany sold 2,990,796 shares of common stock and the selling stockholders sold 2,559,204 shares of common stock. In addition, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 627,750 shares, of which 156,513 were from E.piphany and 471,237 were from selling stockholders, to cover over-allotments of shares. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering totaled $356.1 million.
Stock Option Exchange Program |
On April 2, 2001, the Company announced a voluntary stock option exchange program for its employees. Under the program, employees were given the opportunity to elect to cancel outstanding stock options held by them in exchange for an equal number of new options to be granted at a future date at the then current fair market value. These elections needed to be made by May 1, 2001 and were required to include all options granted during the prior six-month period. A total of 614 employees elected to participate in the exchange program. Those 614 employees tendered a total of 5,849,237 options to purchase the Companys common stock in return for its promise to grant new options on the grant date of November 5, 2001. A total of 4,687,353 options were granted at the fair market value of $6.44 per share on November 5, 2001 to those employees who had been continuously employed by the Company from the date they tendered their original options through November 5, 2001. The exchange program was not made available to the Companys executive officers, directors, consultants, former employees or any of its employees who were residents of The Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain or Brazil or who were employed by subsidiaries located in those countries.
Stock Options |
In 1997, E.piphany adopted the 1997 Stock Plan (the 1997 Plan) under which incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options may be granted to employees and consultants of E.piphany. The exercise price
53
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for incentive stock options is at least 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning less than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock and at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock. For nonstatutory stock options, the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning more than 10% of voting power of all classes of stock and at least 85% for employees owning less than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock. Options generally expire in 10 years. Options are immediately exercisable, but shares so purchased vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors, generally four years. Upon termination of employment, unvested shares may be repurchased by E.piphany for the original purchase price. The Board of Directors determined that no further options would be granted under the 1997 Plan after the initial public offering. In addition to the shares authorized for the 1999 Plan, the 1997 Plan options authorized but not granted as of the IPO date were made available for grant under the 1999 Plan. Accordingly, no shares are available for grant under the 1997 Plan as of December 31, 2001.
On June 30, 1999, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of E.piphanys 1999 Stock Plan (the 1999 Plan). Under the 1999 Plan, incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options may be granted to employees and consultants of E.piphany. The exercise price for incentive stock options is at least 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning less than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock and at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock. For nonstatutory stock options, the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning more than 10% of voting power of all classes of stock and at least 85% for employees owning less than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock. Options generally expire in 10 years. Options are exercisable pursuant a vesting schedule determined by the Board of Directors, which is typically over a period of four years. A total of 9,782,510 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance and 88,224 options have been exercised under the 1999 Plan. As of December 31, 2001, 1,496,444 shares were available for grant.
On October 18, 2000, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of E.piphanys 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the Nonstatutory Plan). Under the Nonstatutory Plan, nonstatutory stock options may be granted to employees and consultants of E.piphany. The exercise price for nonstatutory stock options is at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant for employees owning more than 10% of voting power of all classes of stock and at least 85% for employees owning less than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock. Options generally expire in 10 years. Options are exercisable pursuant a vesting schedule determined by the Board of Directors. A total of 2,250,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance and 6,625 options have been exercised under the Nonstatutory Plan. As of December 31, 2001, 604,015 shares were available for grant.
E.piphany accounts for its stock option plans pursuant to APB 25 whereby the difference between the exercise price and the fair value at the date of grant is recognized as compensation expense. Had compensation expense for stock option plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, net losses would have increased to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

6. Income Taxes
E.piphany accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the total deferred tax assets of E.piphany as a result of uncertainties regarding the realization of the assets based on the limited operating history of E.piphany, the lack of

As of December 31, 2001, E.piphany had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $161.6 million and $137.3 million for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. The tax-effected amount of these operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2001 is $73.7 million. The federal net operating loss and other credit carryforwards expire on various dates beginning on 2012 through 2021. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire on various dates through 2006. The deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001 also include approximately $24.8 million related to the acquisitions of RightPoint, Octane, eClass, iLeverage and Moss (including net operating losses of $66.7 million and $38.8 million, federal and state respectively) and when realized, will be used to reduce the amount of any remaining goodwill that was originally recorded at the date of the acquisitions. In addition, approximately $17.6 million of the deferred tax asset relates to employee stock option deductions and accordingly will be credited directly to stockholders equity and will not be available to reduce the provision for income taxes in future years.
Under current tax law, net operating loss and credit carryforwards available to offset future income in any given year may be limited upon the occurrence of certain events, including significant changes in ownership interests.
The provision for income taxes differs from the expected tax benefit amount computed by applying the statutory federal income rate of 34% to income (loss) before taxes as follows:

7. Related Party Transactions
The chief executive officer of E.piphany was offered a loan of $250,000 per year for a period beginning August 1, 1998 and ending July 31, 2000, drawable on a monthly basis. This loan bears interest at 5.6% per annum compounded monthly. Amounts drawn on this loan as of January 1, 2000 were paid in full upon the officers first sale of E.piphany stock. The chief executive officer then continued to receive monthly payments from this loan through July 31, 2000, which are still outstanding. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance including accrued interest was in the sum of $160,000. As the repayment of this amount was contingent on future stock sales, this amount was expensed as paid. Advances under the loan were charged to compensation expense in the period in which the amounts were loaned to the officer, and thus, $250,000, $146,000 and $0 are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. General and administrative expense was then reduced by the amount of $250,000 in the operating results for the year ended December 31, 2000 when that amount was repaid. The chief executive officer was also extended a loan in the aggregate sum of $173,000 for the payment of taxes arising from bonus payments made to him during the years 1999 and 2000. This loan bears interest at 5.6% per annum compounded monthly. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance including accrued interest was in the sum of $197,000. In 1998, the chief executive officer was also given a loan to purchase 2,400,000 shares of common stock at $0.27 per share. This loan is collateralized by the underlying shares of E.piphany. This loan is due on July 1, 2008 and accrues interest at 5.88% per annum. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance including accrued interest on this loan was $575,000.
The chief executive officer of E.piphany is currently a member of the Board of Directors of four of E.piphanys customers. Total revenues to E.piphany from these customers were $0.6 million, $0.9 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. E.piphany had accounts receivable balances from these customers totaling $0.2 million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
In addition, four of E.piphanys customers have board members that are also on E.piphanys Board of Directors. Total revenues to E.piphany from these customers were $0.7 million, $0.4 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. E.piphany had accounts receivable balances from these customers totaling $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
8. Acquisitions
The RightPoint Acquisition |
On January 4, 2000, E.piphany acquired RightPoint Software, Inc. (RightPoint) in a merger transaction. RightPoint developed and marketed real time marketing software solutions that enable companies to optimize and present marketing offers, promotions, and communications while a customer is interacting with a web site, call center agent or other point of customer interaction. Under the terms of the merger
57
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
agreement, stockholders of RightPoint received approximately 0.1185 shares of E.piphany common stock for each share of RightPoint common stock they owned at the time the merger was consummated. In connection with this transaction, E.piphany acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of RightPoint in exchange for 4,614,992 shares of E.piphanys common stock. In addition, options and warrants of RightPoint were converted into options and warrants to purchase approximately 795,000 shares of E.piphanys common stock. E.piphany accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and the results of RightPoints operations subsequent to January 4, 2000 have been included in E.piphanys operating results for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. The total purchase price was approximately $496.8 million, of which $22.0 million was allocated to in-process research and development and expensed upon closing of the acquisition as it had not reached technological feasibility and, in managements opinion, had no alternative future use.
The value assigned to acquired in-process research and development was determined by identifying research projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established. The value was determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired in-process technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such projects, and discounting the net cash flows back to their present values. The discount rate includes a factor that takes into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the acquired in-process technology.

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results assuming that E.piphany had merged with Octane, eClass, iLeverage and RightPoint at the beginning of fiscal year 2000. The unaudited pro forma results of Moss and Radnet were excluded from the table because they did not have a material effect on the Companys pro forma results of operations. Net loss has been adjusted to exclude the write-offs of acquired in-process research and development of approximately $47.0 million and includes amortization of purchased intangibles of approximately $1.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000.

Impairment |
The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed of. The Company also periodically assesses the impairment of enterprise level goodwill in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. As part of its review of its third quarter financial results, the Company performed an impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill in connection with all of its acquisitions. The impairment assessment was performed with the assistance of independent valuation experts to determine whether any impairment existed. The impairment indicators included, but were not limited to, the significant decline in the Companys stock price, the net book value of assets, which significantly exceeded the Companys market capitalization, and the overall decline in industry growth rates, which have negatively impacted the Companys revenues and forecasted revenue growth rates, which precipitated the Companys reduction in workforce and overall restructuring in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. As a result, the Company recorded a $1.7 billion impairment charge to reduce goodwill and other intangible assets associated with all of its acquisitions to reflect their current estimated fair market value. Fair market value was determined based on discounted future cash flows for the acquisitions that had separately identifiable cash flows. It is reasonably possible that the estimates and assumptions used under our assessment may change in the short-term resulting in the need to further write-down our goodwill and other long-lived assets.
Beginning on January 1, 2002, our unamortized balance of $98.1 million of goodwill and other intangible assets will be subject to the new accounting pronouncements SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, acquired goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will continue to be subject to a periodic impairment assessment. The Company will continue to amortize other intangible assets of $16.2 million on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives. Amortization related to these intangibles is expected to be $10.5 million for 2002, $5.0 million for 2003 and $0.7 million for 2004.
