PeoplePC Announces Continued Improvement in Operating Results for the Third Quarter; Company Narrows Net Loss to $1.9 Million

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 14, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PeoplePC Inc. , the company that makes it easy and affordable to get online, today announced continued improvement in operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2001.

PeoplePC's net loss for the quarter decreased 97% to just $1.9 million, or less than $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to a loss of $64.2 million, or $0.91 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2000.

The company's net revenue increased to $48 million, compared to $25.3 million in the third quarter of 2000.

PeoplePC reported a positive gross margin of $10.5 million compared to a loss of $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2000. The continued improvement is reflective of the improved profitability of the company's bundled PC and Internet offerings and its aggressive efforts to reduce its costs of sales, including the cost to provide Internet access to members. Due in part to cost-cutting measures, the company reversed $7.0 million of an accrual previously reserved for future Internet access. Excluding the reversal, the company reported a positive gross margin of $3.5 million. Operating expenses were $13.2 million, a significant decrease over $51.5 million in the third quarter of 2000.

"The changes we instituted in the first and second quarter of this year are clearly reflected in this quarter's results," said Nick Grouf, chairman and chief executive officer, PeoplePC Inc. "PeoplePC was able to establish new sales channels that allowed us to grow our member base and also realize cost efficiencies of scale."

Nasdaq has terminated its proceeding to delist the Company's stock. The action was related to Nasdaq's recent suspension of its bid price and market value of public float listing requirements. As a result, PeoplePC's listing status will continue, and its common stock will continue to trade under the symbol PEOP.


PeoplePC has a plan to hold a separate conference call in December to give guidance for the fourth quarter and the year 2002.

PeoplePC will be holding a conference call with investors today, November 14, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. EDT. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on the company's Investor Relations site at .
