Zix Corporation (ZixCorp�), (Nasdaq:ZIXI), the leader in email encryption and e-prescribing services, today offered a corporate update by its chief executive officer, Rick Spurr. �ZixCorp continues to perform ahead of plan in 2007, specifically with respect to our net cash consumption,� said Spurr. �I am very pleased that we were able to maintain the strong results this quarter that we delivered in Q1. Our second quarter ending cash balance of $12.1 million was well ahead of our guidance range of $11.3 to $11.5 million. The cash burn for the first half of this year of $700,000, compared with an $11.5 million burn for the first half of last year, is due to significant increases in cash receipts from both the Email Encryption and e-Prescribing businesses coupled with the tremendous operational improvements we have made over the past year. Even with fourth quarter�s seasonal decrease in Email Encryption cash collections and annual expenditures typically made in Q4, we remain on track to burn less than $4.8 million for all of this year and to achieve positive cash flow as we enter 2008 on the way to profitability.� �We had a good quarter in each of our core businesses � Email Encryption and e-Prescribing,� continued Spurr. �Preliminary company-wide revenue estimates are that we will meet or exceed our guidance range of $5.0 to $5.3 million. In our Email Encryption business, we had a strong quarter for new order bookings with estimated new first-year orders of $1.4 million and estimated total orders of $6.9 million, which is by far a record for this business and more than 25 percent higher than any previous quarter. We saw continued demand for our service model in both healthcare and financial services, and high customer satisfaction as evidenced by strong renewals.� Regarding the Company�s e-prescribing business, Spurr said, �We had a solid quarter in our PocketScript business as well. We had increased deployments of 557 for the quarter, the quarterly e-script count continued to grow with 1.84 million e-scripts in Q2, and our customers continue to see significant value from our service and remain highly satisfied. To that point, we had two customers, Independence Blue Cross and Aetna, sign up in Q2 to pay for renewals of their active prescribers, which, along with previous contracts and other expressions of intent to do the same, means that six out of our seven programs have decided to renew the subscription license for their active prescribers. We continue to see a high level of interest in the market and expect to announce new pilots in the second half of the year.� ZixCorp to Announce Second Quarter 2007 Results on August 7 The Company's second quarter 2007 operating results will be released after close of the U.S. financial markets on August 7, 2007.
