EXHIBIT 99.1 For Immediate Release: Contact: Andrew J. Hajducky III May 7, 1999 Chief Financial Officer (978) 684-3660 CMGI, Inc. Announces Revaluation of In-Process Research and Development Acquisition Charges Andover, MA--- CMGI, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMGI) today announced that it has completed a review of its previously reported acquisition-related charges, including the impact of the recently announced adjustments made to in-process research and development charges by Lycos, Inc., and the in-process research and development charge recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 1998 in conjunction with CMGI's acquisition of Accipiter, Inc. On April 16, 1999, Lycos, Inc. announced that in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it had reviewed its accounting treatment for in-process research and development in four completed 1998 acquisitions. In light of the SEC's recent interpretation of the accounting for acquired in-process technology resulting from acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, Lycos, like many other technology and Internet companies, reduced its cumulative one-time in-process research and development charges from those acquisitions and adjusted the related amortization of intangible assets for the subsequent quarters accordingly. The adjustments recorded involve only non-cash charges and do not affect Lycos' previously reported revenues, EBITDA or cash flows for any of the periods. During such periods, CMGI's ownership in Lycos ranged from approximately 46% to approximately 22%, and CMGI accounted for its investment in Lycos under the equity method of accounting, whereby CMGI's portion of the net operating performance of Lycos was reflected in equity in losses of affiliates. Additionally, during such periods CMGI recorded gains on sales of portions of its Lycos stock holdings, and recorded gains on issuances of stock by Lycos. As a result of the Lycos restatements, CMGI has accordingly restated previously reported equity in losses of Lycos, gains on sales of Lycos stock and gains on issuance of stock by Lycos for CMGI's fiscal quarters ended April 30, 1998, July 31, 1998, October 31, 1998 and January 31, 1999. Such restatements resulted in net increases in pre-tax income of $18,631,000 and $283,000 for the quarters ended April 30, 1998 and October 31, 1998, respectively, and net decreases in pre-tax income of $6,467,000 and $1,125,000 for the quarters ended July 31, 1998 and January 31, 1999, respectively. Lycos' reduction of previously recorded in-process research and development charges resulted in higher gains on Lycos stock issuances recorded by CMGI, thereby increasing CMGI's book basis in its Lycos investment and resulting in lower gains on sales of Lycos stock and reduced gains on Lycos stock issuances in subsequent quarters. Related higher amortization charges recorded by Lycos in subsequent quarters resulted in higher equity in loss of affiliates amounts recorded by CMGI. Beginning in January, 1999, CMGI's ownership in Lycos was reduced below 20%, and accordingly CMGI began accounting for its investment in Lycos as available-for- sale securities, carried at fair value. Since CMGI's investment in Lycos is now carried at fair value, CMGI's future operating results will not be affected by resultant increased amortization charges to be recorded in Lycos' stand-alone financial statements. Similarly, using revised guidelines and assumptions generally suggested by the SEC and as clarified through existing practice, CMGI has voluntarily adjusted the amount originally allocated to in-process
research and development for its acquisition of Accipiter, Inc. during the third fiscal quarter of 1998. As a result, the third quarter pre-tax charge for acquired in-process research and development was decreased from the $18 million amount previously recorded to the amount of $9.2 million. Correspondingly, the value of goodwill recorded on the balance sheet related to the acquisition of Accipiter was increased from $11.5 million to $18.4 million, completed technologies were valued at $1.6 million, and other intangibles were valued at $300,000. These adjustments to the purchase price allocation of Accipiter have no effect upon the cash flows, financial condition or liquidity of the Company. The Company plans to amortize the value of goodwill over five years and the values of completed technologies and other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives of five and two years, respectively, commencing as of April 1998. As a result of these changes, amortization of Accipiter acquisition- related intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 increased to $1 million from $0.6 million previously reported. Amortization of acquisition- related intangible assets during fiscal 1999 is expected to be $1 million per quarter and will continue at this level through the second quarter of fiscal 2003, with a final charge of $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. The combined impact of the Lycos and Accipiter related restatements on the third quarter of fiscal 1998 is to reduce the previously recorded net loss of $11.7 million, or ($0.27) per diluted share, to a net income of $7.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Similarly, the impact of recorded adjustments to fourth quarter fiscal 1998 is to reduce the previously recorded net income of $31.4 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, to a net income of $27.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share. First quarter fiscal 1999 net income of $38.6 million, or $0.77 per diluted share was reduced to $38.3 million, remaining at $0.77 per diluted share, and second quarter fiscal 1999 net income of $14.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share was reduced to $13 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. The combined changes to the Company's previously reported consolidated statements of operations as a result of these adjustments are shown in the attached financial tables. Due to the Company's decision to sell its CMG Direct subsidiary, which comprised the Company's list and database business segment, amounts presented in both "As Restated" and "As Reported" in the financial tables include the results of CMG Direct's operations and the Company's previously reported gain on sale of data warehouse product rights as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In connection with SEC guidelines, the Company's annual report on Form 10K for the year ended July 31, 1998, and the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 1998 and first and second quarters of fiscal year 1999 will be amended and restated to reflect these changes. CMGI, Inc. is a leading provider of direct marketing services, investing in and integrating advanced Internet, interactive media and database technologies. Forward looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Act. Investors are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such statements and are advised to consult CMGI's current SEC filings for additional information concerning risk factors that affect the Company's business.
