SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2005--CallWave, Inc. (Nasdaq:CALL), a leading provider of VOIP enhanced services, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2005. For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, CallWave reported total revenue of $10.6 million, compared to $11 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $932,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share reported in the prior year. Net income for the 2006 first quarter includes a tax provision of $633,000, compared to the same period last year which included a tax benefit of $66,000. Gross margins for the first quarter were 64% and operating margins were 10%. CallWave generated $3.4 million in cash in its operations and closed the quarter with $61.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At September 30, 2005, CallWave had 790,000 total subscribers, including 10,000 mobile subscribers up from 5,000 in the prior quarter. "CallWave is in an important transition phase as we deliver new services that simplify the convergence of fixed and mobile phones," commented David Hofstatter, President and CEO of CallWave. "When you look at our sequential mobile subscriber growth and the validation of mobile services, at both the end-user and carrier/channel level, we are encouraged by the early results. Our mobile subscriber base doubled to 10,000 users this quarter with minimal marketing, and our efforts to maximize cash flow in our landline business resulted in generating $3.4 million in cash this quarter." The company reaffirmed its previous guidance for fiscal 2006 expecting revenue of approximately $40 million with pretax margins of approximately 10%.
