Jacada Reports Financial Results for Second-Quarter 2003

ATLANTA, July 28, 2003 – Jacada Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCDA), the leading provider of legacy integration and Web-to-host solutions, today reported second-quarter 2003 results, which are in line with First Call consensus estimates.

Total revenue for the 2003 second quarter was $5.1 million, unchanged from the 2003 first quarter. Software license revenue was $2.1 million in the 2003 second quarter, compared to $2.2 million in the 2003 first quarter. Service and maintenance revenues were $3.0 million in the 2003 second quarter, up slightly from $2.9 million in the 2003 first quarter. In the second quarter of 2002, Jacada reported software license revenue of $2.2 million, service and maintenance revenues of $3.1 million, and total revenue of $5.3 million.

Gross profit for the 2003 second quarter was $4.2 million, or 82% of total revenue, compared to $4.1 million, or 81% of total revenue, in the 2003 first quarter. Net loss for the quarter was $361,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to net loss of $631,000, or $0.03 per share, in the 2003 first quarter. In the second quarter of 2002, Jacada reported gross profit of $4.1 million, or 77% of total revenue, and a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per share.

At the end of the second quarter, Jacada's cash and investments totaled $42.5 million, essentially unchanged from the first quarter of 2003.

"We are pleased with our financial performance considering the challenging IT spending environment we continue to experience," said Gideon Hollander, CEO of Jacada. "Integration remains a top priority for CIOs, many of whom are already familiar with and keenly interested in Jacada's growing suite of business solutions aimed at helping organizations reuse and extend the life of their valuable legacy computing systems. That said — and given the successes our existing customers are having with our products and the leadership position we hold in the market — we expect our results will continue to improve in the coming quarters."

Second-Quarter Highlights

During the quarter, Jacada closed new and follow-on business with customers such as AAA Mid-Atlantic, Airline Tariff Publishing Company, Compass Bank, Global Beverage Group, HTE Inc., Raytheon Missile Systems, South Carolina Farm Bureau, Wausau Benefits, and GISS, the Spanish Social Security Agency.

Partnerships continue to provide Jacada with expanded channel opportunities. In the second quarter, Jacada's suite of legacy integration, emulation, and Web-to-host solutions was certified ca smart with CleverPath Portal from Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA). Working within CA's CleverPath Portal, Jacada enables users to access and display legacy business applications, information and data in a single consistent interface. This certification further expands Jacada's footprint within CA.

In addition, Jacada's partnership with PeopleSoft has begun to show traction with the signing of our first joint customer agreement. Jacada Integrator enables PeopleSoft customers to achieve real-time access to their legacy applications from PeopleSoft 8 applications.

During the second quarter, Jacada released new versions of both the Jacada Interface Server and Jacada Integrator products. "The continued development and enhancement of our product lines brings us closer to reaching our goal of becoming the one-stop-shop for all things legacy," said Hollander. "We are beginning to see this vision generate significant interest within our prospect and customer base; therefore, we expect sequential software license revenue growth of 10-12% in the coming quarters."
