Autobytel's cash balance as of Sept. 30, 2002 was $26.5 million. During the
third quarter, the company generated $3.1 million in cash.
On a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, revenue for the

compared with revenue of $18.2 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2001. It
decreased 7% from $20.8 million reported for the second quarter ended June 30,
2002.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2001 excludes Autoweb results prior to the
acquisition on Aug. 14, 2001. Pro forma earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and non-recurring charges (pro forma EBITDA) for the
third quarter of 2002 were $600,000, or $0.02 per share. This compares with pro

ended Sept. 30, 2001.
Pro forma EBITDA was $400,000, or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2002.
On a GAAP basis, the company reported a net loss for the third quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2002 of $2.1 million or $(0.07) per share. This compares with a net

$200,000 or $(0.01) per share. The non-recurring charge was $1.9 million for
obsolete international software.
"Narrowing our net loss to $200,000 puts us on track for breakeven in the fourth
quarter," said Schwartz.
Highlights for the Third Quarter
Revenues: Autobytel reported third quarter revenues of $19.3 million, of which
$14 million was related to Program Fees, $2.3 million was related to Enterprise
Sales, $2 million was related to Advertising, and $1 million was related to
Other Products and Services.
Pro Forma Operating Expenses: Total pro forma operating expenses in the third
quarter were $18.7 million. Sales and marketing expenses totaled $11.6 million,
including customer acquisition costs. Product development and technology costs
totaled $4.9 million. General and administrative costs totaled $2.2 million.
Non-recurring Charge: The company took a non-recurring charge of $1.9 million
for previously capitalized software that was originally intended to be used for
global Web site development.
Unique Visitor Count: Autobytel's four Web site properties, Autobytel.com,
Autoweb.com, Carsmart.com and AutoSite.com, received unique average monthly site
visitors in excess of 4.1 million in the third quarter of 2002 according to
Nielsen Net Ratings. This was a significant increase over the 3.6 million
average monthly visitors in the second quarter of 2002 and represented the
highest rate of average monthly site visitors.
Purchase Requests: The company delivered approximately 800,000 Purchase Requests
during the third quarter of 2002. Revenue per Purchase Request increased
sequentially 14%, from $17.92 in the second quarter to $20.38 in the third
quarter.
Dealer Count: The company reported approximately 20,600 dealer relationships in
the third quarter, 5,600 of which were program dealer relationships. Average
monthly dealer fees were approximately $800. The company's remaining 15,000
dealer relationships were accounted for under its enterprise sales category.
In this category, the company reported adding a pilot program with a major OEM
during the third quarter of 2002 representing more than 11,000 enterprise dealer
relationships. The program is renewable in one-month increments.
Headcount: As of Sept. 30, 2002, the company had 227 employees, essentially the
same as in the second quarter of 2002.
Quality Initiatives: Autobytel furthered its commitment to unmatched product
quality by launching three new programs during the quarter. The company's
proprietary Quality Verification System(SM) is designed to ensure that dealers
receive Purchase Requests only from serious car buyers.
The Dealer Management Report program provides dealers with direct customer
feedback to help them improve their sales closing ratios. The Dealer Opportunity
Report tracks and ranks each dealer relationship to optimize each customer
contact made by the company's sales force. As a result of these recent
initiatives, dealer closing ratios are already showing a marked improvement.
"With our close rates up 35% since the beginning of this year, we have
dramatically reduced the average cost for dealers of selling cars with
Autobytel, which now stands around $120 per sale. This progress has had a
positive impact on every aspect of our business," said Schwartz.
Pro Forma Results
The pro forma operating results for the third quarter of 2002 exclude the
following items on the company's Consolidated Statements of Operations:
-- Restructuring and other charges and benefits
-- Depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation
A reconciliation of GAAP to pro forma is included in the attached Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Business Outlook
The company expects to report revenues of $80 million for the full fiscal year
2002, with pro forma EBITDA of $0.07 per share, and expects to be cash neutral
to cash positive for the fourth quarter of 2002.

Autoweb Adds Allies In Duel With Autobytel
Send this Article
Print this Article Talkback
By Mary Hillebrand
E-Commerce Times
October 21, 1999
In an effort to compete with top competitor Autobytel, online automobile
resource Autoweb.com (Nasdaq: AWEB) has brought financial software company
Intuit (Nasdaq: INTU) and online business network Hoover's Online (Nasdaq: HOOV)
into its stable of Internet allies.
Hoover's has signed up Autoweb.com as the exclusive sponsor of the auto
information section of the Hoover's Online site. Hoover's Online will promote
Autoweb.com throughout its site with graphics that link to a co-branded site
within Hoover's Money channel.
Additionally, Hoover's Online visitors will have direct access to Autoweb.com's
automotive-related tools and resources. The site will include new and used auto
listings, bluebook values for current vehicles, reviews, safety recall notices
and technical service bulletins, and other information.
Autoweb.com's moves come less than a week after Autobytel.com announced plans to
buy Carsmart.com for 1.8 million shares of common stock and $3 million (US$) in
cash, thereby consolidating the nascent online auto sales business.
Through that deal, Autobytel.com will inherit relationships that Carsmart.com
has developed with major portals such as AOL, GO Network, AltaVista, LookSmart
and Snap.com.
Insuring Online Sales
Through its agreement with Intuit, Autoweb.com will add the software company 's
Quicken InsureMarket service to the Autoweb.com site. The move could also give
Intuit a boost as it makes a bid to expand from its background of personal and
small business bookkeeping to compete directly with online auto insurance
brokers like InsWeb.
While Autoweb.com will promote the branded Intuit product on its site, Intuit
will promote the online auto dealer on its consumer Web site and integrate
Autoweb.com and InsureMarket into its Quicken PC bookkeeping software program.
Quicken InsureMarket offers insurance information and real-time price quotes
from more than 45 insurance companies. It is available in 49 states and the
District of Columbia. The company claims that the service is the first and only
online insurance service to allow consumers to shop for competitive insurance
rates and complete the purchase of multiple auto insurance policies online.
Combined, the two companies expect to market the service to more than three
million Internet visitors per month. They hope to use their partnership to
accelerate the current trends toward auto and insurance sales on the Internet.
According to Forrester Research, Inc., the automobile insurance market generates
about $120 billion in revenue each year. An increasingly larger piece of that
pie is expected to wind up in online sales, the research firm says, projecting
$3.5 billion in sales by 2001 and $11.1 billion by 2003.
About Autoweb.com
Autoweb.com works with more than 5,000 member dealers and other online commerce
partners to compile auto listings and other information to help consumers make
informed purchase decisions.
