SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - April 23, 2008) - Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), a leading provider of enterprise contract lifecycle management (CLM) and sales configuration solutions, today announced preliminary financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008. Selectica currently expects to report revenue of approximately $3.0 million and a net loss of approximately $(0.09) per share. As of March 31, 2008, cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $35.2 million.

"Our fourth quarter results did not meet our expectations," said Robert Jurkowski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Selectica. "The results were impacted by leadership transitions within both of our business units and by the terms of a significant contract that did not enable for any revenue to be recognized in the quarter."

"An important part of our go to market strategy is to build a leveraged distribution model with leading partners that enable us to extend our reach to new vertical markets and new customers," continued Jurkowski. "I am very excited by the landmark partnership agreement we signed with Accenture in the recent quarter. We are working together exclusively on a worldwide basis to take our products to targeted global companies in the life sciences industry. Through this partnership, we signed a significant deal with one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies in the quarter. However, due to contractual terms, we did not recognize any revenue in the quarter but expect to do so in future periods."

Business Outlook

Selectica's fiscal 2009 guidance for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2009 is for revenue of approximately $25 million and net income of 8% to 10% of revenue. The company expects to become profitable on a quarterly basis during the second half of fiscal 2009.

"The outlook for our businesses is promising," concluded Jurkowski. "Demand for our products is strong. We are selectively making investments that I believe will accelerate our ability to capture the significant market opportunity. While we were able to deliver revenue growth for the full year and the fourth quarter compared with the same periods in the previous year, the nature of our business is such that future quarterly revenue growth may not be smooth. We will discuss our outlook for fiscal 2009 in greater detail during our conference call on May 12."

The company will report financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 after the close of the market on Monday, May 12, 2008. Selectica will host a conference call to discuss its financial results and operational highlights at 5:00 p.m. EDT (2:00 p.m. PDT) on Monday, May 12, 2008.
