CORRECTING and REPLACING eSpeed Reports Third Quarter 2007 Results
Fifth graph under the section "Outlook for BGC and eSpeed
Combined3" should read: The
Combined Company expects to have an effective tax rate of approximately
28 percent in 2008, compared to the previous outlook of 27 percent, due
to the increase in expected pre-tax income for 2008, which will allow
for faster utilization of net operating loss carry forwards. The
Combined Company expects to have an effective tax rate of approximately
32.5 percent for 2009 and thereafter. For 2008, this means that the
Combined Company expects to have after-tax income in excess of $116
million available to fully diluted shares.
The corrected release reads:
ESPEED REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2007 RESULTS BGC updates preliminary 3Q 2007 results BGC and eSpeed revise 2008 Outlook upward for the Combined Company

BGC’s Preliminary Third Quarter Results
Summary1
BGC announced the following financial highlights related to its
preliminary results for the third quarter of 2007:
* BGC’s third quarter 2007 pre-tax profits
were approximately $32.4 million versus a pre-tax loss of $34.3 million
in the third quarter of 2006;
* BGC’s third quarter 2007 revenues increased
by 41 percent year-over-year to approximately $272 million;
* BGC’s third quarter 2007 revenue in Rates
increased year-over-year by approximately 38 percent;
* BGC’s third quarter 2007 Credit revenues
were up by approximately 50 percent year-over-year; and
* BGC’s third quarter 2007 Foreign Exchange
revenues increased by approximately 59 percent year-over-year.
Howard W. Lutnick, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of
eSpeed, who will become Chairman and co-Chief Executive Officer of the
combined company upon the completion of eSpeed’s
proposed merger with BGC, stated: "The
tremendous growth in profitability for BGC clearly demonstrates the
strength of its business model and its highly scalable platform, and
also underscores the compelling strategic rationale of combining eSpeed
with BGC.” eSpeed’s Third Quarter Earnings
eSpeed reported a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share,
for the third quarter of 2007 based on Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP”).
To reflect earnings generated from the Company's operations, eSpeed also
reported non-GAAP net operating income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per
diluted share. The difference between non-GAAP net operating income and
GAAP net loss for the quarter was primarily due to $4.9 million in
patent litigation costs, $1.0 million in direct expenses associated with
the proposed combination with BGC, $0.3 million in charitable
contributions related to eSpeed’s September
11, 2007 Charity Day, and $0.4 million in losses from Aqua, in which
eSpeed has an equity stake and into which it contributed its previous
Equities Direct Access business after the close of the quarter. All of
these differences were net of tax.
In comparison, eSpeed reported a GAAP net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.01
per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2006. eSpeed also reported
non-GAAP net operating income of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted
share. The difference between non-GAAP net operating income and the GAAP
net loss for the quarter was primarily due to $1.3 million in
acquisition-related costs, $0.5 million in patent litigation costs, a
$0.2 million charitable contribution to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief
Fund, and a $0.1 million expense related to a tax settlement, partially
offset by a payment of $0.5 million related to a litigation settlement.
All of these differences were net of tax.
eSpeed’s Third Quarter Revenues
eSpeed reported GAAP revenues of $40.4 million and non-GAAP operating
revenues of $40.2 million for the third quarter of 2007. The difference
between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues for the third quarter of 2007
reflected Equities Direct Access revenues of $0.2 million.
eSpeed's total GAAP and non-GAAP operating revenues for the third
quarter of 2006 were $38.1 million.
Fully electronic revenues were $16.3 million dollars in the third
quarter of 2007, compared with $16.8 million dollars in the third
quarter of 2006. Excluding $1.9 million in revenues related to the
Wagner patent and recorded as part of "Fully
electronic transactions with unrelated parties”,
revenues from eSpeed’s fully electronic
business were up 10.2 percent from $14.8 million in the third quarter of
2006. Revenues from software solutions were $11.8 million in the quarter
compared with $11.4 million in the year ago period. Excluding
Wagner-related payments of $2.5 million in the third quarter 2006, and
recorded as "Software Solutions and licensing
fees from unrelated parties”, software
solutions revenues increased by 32.6 percent from $8.9 million in the
third quarter of 2006. The Wagner patent expired in February of 2007.
Hybrid voice- and screen-assisted revenues totaled $9.6 million in the
third quarter of 2007, up 27.1 percent compared with $7.5 million in the
third quarter of 2006. eSpeed’s non-GAAP
pre-tax operating margin was 2.4 percent in the third quarter of 2007.
See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a detailed description of
the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures.
Items Impacting GAAP Revenues and Income
The year-over-year growth in quarterly GAAP revenues was due primarily
to increases in hybrid screen- and voice-assisted revenues from BGC,
partially offset by the loss of revenue related to the Wagner patent.
The lost $2.0 million in net income from the Wagner patent, along with
acquisition-related expenses and a $3.5 million reserve for the recent
patent decision were the primary contributors to eSpeed’s
wider GAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2007.
eSpeed’s Cash Flow and Cash
eSpeed generated cash flow from operations of $9.9 million during the
third quarter of 2007, compared with $20.8 million during the third
quarter of 2006.
The Company also reports free cash flow, which it defines as cash from
operations less net cash used in investing activities, including capital
expenditures. eSpeed’s free cash flow was
($5.1) million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $12.9
million in the prior year period.
Excluding related party receivables and payables, free cash flow was
($3.9) million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $7.6 million
for the third quarter of 2006.
The above cash flow measures were negatively impacted in the quarter
primarily by a wider net loss and increased capital expenditures mainly
related to the opening of an additional data center.
As of September 30, 2007, eSpeed's cash and cash equivalents were $103.5
million. eSpeed’s short-term assets as of
September 30, 2007 also included $2.4 million in marketable securities
and an $80 million secured loan receivable.2
In comparison, as of December 31, 2006, eSpeed's cash and cash
equivalents were $187.8 million.
Third Quarter Notional Volume and Transactions on the eSpeed System
Total volume on the eSpeed system in the third quarter of 2007 consisted
of 3.1 million transactions with a notional value of $33.0 trillion, up
50.4 percent and 33.7 percent, respectively, from the 2.1 million
transactions with a notional value of $24.7 trillion in the year-earlier
period.
Fully electronic volume on the eSpeed system, excluding new products,
was $12.7 trillion for the third quarter of 2007, up 35.3 percent from
$9.4 trillion in the third quarter of 2006. Hybrid volume from BGC
transacted on the eSpeed network, or the combined total of
voice-assisted and screen-assisted volume, was $19.3 trillion for the
third quarter of 2007, an increase of 36.9 percent from $14.1 trillion
in the third quarter of 2006. Fully electronic volume on the eSpeed
system for new products, which the Company defines as foreign exchange,
interest rate swaps, futures, credit default swaps, and repurchase
agreements, was $990 billion for the third quarter of 2007, down 16.0
percent from the $1.2 trillion reported in the third quarter of 2006
primarily due to a decrease in notional futures volume, partially offset
by an increase in fully electronic credit default swap volume.
Preliminary BGC Results
For the third quarter of 2007, BGC’s
preliminary revenues were approximately $272 million, up 41% compared to
the prior year quarter’s $193 million. BGC
recorded pre-tax profits of approximately $32.4 million compared to a
pre-tax loss of $34.3 million in the prior-year period.
Continued high levels of global securities and derivatives volume and
volatility led to strong organic growth in BGC’s
three largest asset class categories. BGC’s
revenues in Rates increased by approximately 38 percent,
Credit by approximately 50 percent, and Foreign Exchange by
approximately 59 percent, all compared to the third quarter of 2006.
Revenues from Other Asset Classes increased by approximately 312 percent
in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the year-ago quarter due
primarily to the November 2006 acquisition of Aurel Leven.
For the third quarter of 2007, Rates represented 51 percent of BGC’s
revenues; Credit represented 21 percent; and Foreign Exchange
represented 14 percent.
Outlook for BGC and eSpeed Combined3
BGC’s revenues are expected to be at least
$950 million in 2007, up at least 26 percent from $753.7 million in
2006. BGC’s profits are expected to exceed
$100 million in 2007. The Combined Company is expected to generate
revenues of more than $1,050 million in 2007, up at least 23 percent
from $853.6 million in 2006.
For 2008, the Combined Company’s projected
revenues are expected to increase by more than 12 percent and to exceed
$1,175 million. The Combined Company expects to have 2008 net income
before taxes for fully diluted shares (approximately 186 million shares)
of at least $160 million or more than a 60 percent increase over 2007.
"Given BGC’s
strong results across our geographic and product categories, we remain
confident that the Combined Company will experience significant revenue
and profit growth in 2008,” said Lee M.
Amaitis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BGC and Vice Chairman
of eSpeed, who will become co-Chief Executive Officer of BGC Partners
Inc. after the completion of the planned merger. "We
expect to make further gains in broker productivity in Rates, Credit,
and Foreign Exchange, as we continue to use BGC’s
strong relationships and eSpeed’s world-class
technology to provide outstanding service and execution to the word’s
largest banks, investments banks, broker dealers, and trading firms.”
2008 Combined Company compensation expenses before BGC partnership
profit distribution are expected to be between 55 and 60 percent of
total revenue, while non-compensation expense is expected to be in the
range of 27 to 32 percent of total revenue.
The Combined Company expects to have an effective tax rate of
approximately 28 percent in 2008, compared to the previous outlook of 27
percent, due to the increase in expected pre-tax income for 2008, which
will allow for faster utilization of net operating loss carry forwards.
The Combined Company expects to have an effective tax rate of
approximately 32.5 percent for 2009 and thereafter. For 2008, this means
that the Combined Company expects to have after-tax income in excess of
$116 million available to fully diluted shares.
The above outlook includes the elimination of revenues related to
inter-company transactions of approximately $57 million in 2007 and $61
million in 2008, because of amounts that have historically been
associated with inter-company revenue sharing transactions that will
cease subsequent to the consummation of the proposed merger.

The non-GAAP results for BGC reflect the effects of the full
formation and final separation from Cantor and exclude any costs
which may be associated with the formation, separation and merger
(including, without limitation, redemption of partnership interests)
as well as any one time (i) compensation and (ii) other accounting
charges associated with transactions to facilitate repayment of
loans to executive officers, exchangeability of BGC Holdings units
and other structuring features of the formation, separation and
merger. For comparison purposes, please see the results for "Pro
Forma BGC Partners Stand-Alone" as contained in eSpeed's special
merger proxy filed with SEC and dated November 6, 2007.

On July 26, 2007, eSpeed entered into a Secured Promissory Note and
Pledge Agreement (the "Secured Loan") with Cantor in which eSpeed
agreed to lend to Cantor up to $100 million (the "Secured Loan
Amount") on a secured basis from time to time. The Secured Loan is
guaranteed by a pledge of eSpeed Class A or Class B Common Stock
owned by Cantor equal to 125% of the outstanding Secured Loan
Amount, as determined on a next day basis. The Secured Loan bears
interest at the market rate for equity repurchase agreements plus
0.25% and is payable on demand. The Secured Loan was approved by
eSpeed's Audit Committee. At September 30, 2007, the outstanding
balance of the Secured Loan was $80 million.

(ii) other accounting charges associated with transactions to

Important Information
In connection with the proposed Merger, the Company filed a preliminary
proxy statement on November 6, 2007, and intends to file a definitive
proxy statement and related materials with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC”)
for the meeting of stockholders to vote on the proposed Merger. BECAUSE
THOSE DOCUMENTS WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, HOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK ARE URGED TO READ THEM
CAREFULLY, IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. The preliminary proxy
statement and related materials are, and the definitive proxy statement,
when it becomes available, will be available for free (along with any
other documents and reports filed by the Company with the SEC) at the SEC’s
website, www.sec.gov, and at the Company’s
website, www.espeed.com.
Participant Information
The Company and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be
participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s
stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger. Certain information
regarding the participants and their interests in the solicitation are
set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was filed with
the SEC on August 23, 2007, and is set forth in the preliminary proxy
statement filed with the SEC on November 6, 2007, and will be set forth
in its definitive proxy statement when it becomes available for the
Company’s meeting of stockholders to vote on
the proposed Merger. Stockholders may obtain additional information
regarding the proposed Merger by reading the preliminary proxy statement
and the definitive proxy statement and the related materials relating to
the proposed Merger when they become available.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement eSpeed's consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP and to better reflect the Company's
quarter-over-quarter and comparative year-over-year operating
performance, eSpeed uses non-GAAP financial measures of revenues, net
income and earnings per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain
expenses and gains. In addition, the Company provides a computation of
free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measurements do not replace the
presentation of eSpeed's GAAP financial results but are provided to
improve overall understanding of the Company's current financial
performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, eSpeed
believes the non-GAAP financial results provide useful information to
both management and investors regarding certain additional financial and
business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and
results from operations. In addition, eSpeed's management uses these
measures for reviewing the Company's financial results and evaluating
eSpeed's financial performance.
For the third quarter of 2007, the difference between GAAP net loss and
non-GAAP net operating income was approximately $6.6 million, net of
tax, while the difference between GAAP revenues and non-GAAP operating
revenues was approximately $0.2 million. eSpeed considers "non-GAAP net
operating income" to be after-tax income generated from the Company's
continuing operations excluding certain non-recurring or non-core items
such as, but not limited to, asset impairments, litigation judgments,
costs or settlements, restructuring charges, costs related to potential
acquisitions, charitable contributions, insurance proceeds, business
partner securities, gains or losses on investments and similar events.
eSpeed considers "non-GAAP operating revenues”
to be net revenue excluding these same items.
The amortization of patent costs and associated licensing fees
(including those made in settlement of litigation) from such patents are
generally treated as operating items. Material judgments or settlement
amounts paid or received and impairments to all or a portion of such
assets are generally treated as non-operating items. Management does not
provide guidance of GAAP net income because certain items identified as
excluded from non-GAAP net operating income are difficult to forecast.
Discussion of Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this release contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Such statements are based upon current expectations that
involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that
are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. For example, words such as "may,” "will,” "should,” "estimates,” "predicts,” "potential,” "continue,” "strategy,” "believes,” "anticipates,” "plans,” "expects,” "intends”
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements.
The actual results of eSpeed, BGC or the combined company in the merger ("we”,
"our” or the "combined
company”) and the outcome and timing of
certain events may differ significantly from the expectations discussed
in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or
contribute to such a discrepancy for eSpeed, BGC and/or the combined
company include, but are not limited to, the combined company’s
relationship with Cantor and its affiliates and any related conflicts of
interests, competition for and retention of brokers and other managers
and key employees, pricing and commissions and market position with
respect to any of our products, and that of the combined company’s
respective competitors, the effect of industry concentration and
consolidation, and market conditions, including trading volume and
volatility, as well as economic or geopolitical conditions or
uncertainties. Results may also be impacted by the extensive regulation
of our respective businesses and risks relating to compliance matters,
as well as factors related to specific transactions or series of
transactions, including credit, performance and unmatched principal risk
as well as counterparty failure. Factors may also include the costs and
expenses of developing, maintaining and protecting intellectual
property, including judgments or settlements paid or received in
connection with intellectual property or employment or other litigation
and their related costs, and certain financial risks, including the
possibility of future losses and negative cash flow from operations,
risks of obtaining financing and risks of the resulting leverage, as
well as interest and currency rate fluctuations.
Discrepancies may also result from such factors as the ability to enter
new markets or develop new products, trading desks, marketplaces or
services and to induce customers to use these products, trading desks,
marketplaces or services, to secure and maintain market share, to enter
into marketing and strategic alliances, and other transactions,
including acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations, partnering
opportunities, and joint ventures, and the integration of any completed
transactions, to hire new personnel, to expand the use of technology for
screen-assisted, voice-assisted and fully electronic trading and to
effectively manage any growth that may be achieved. Results are also
subject to risks relating to the proposed merger and separation of the
BGC businesses and the relationship between the various entities,
financial reporting, accounting and internal control factors, including
identification of any material weaknesses in our internal controls, our
ability to prepare historical and pro forma financial statements and
reports in a timely manner, and other factors, including those that are
discussed under "Risk Factors”
in each of eSpeed’s Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was filed with the
SEC on August 23, 2007 and BGC’s
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 8,
2007 (Registration No. 333-140531) to the extent applicable.
We believe that all forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions when made. However, we caution that it is impossible to
predict actual results or outcomes or the effects of risks,
uncertainties or other factors on anticipated results or outcomes and
that accordingly you should not place undue reliance on these
statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when
made and we undertake no obligation to update these statements in light
of subsequent events or developments.
