Taleo delivered the following results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007:

Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter was $31.0 million, representing an increase of 32% on a year-over-year basis. Application revenue for the second quarter was $25.6 million, an increase of 34% on a year-over-year basis. Services revenue for the second quarter was $5.4 million, an increase of 21% on a year-over-year basis.

Net Loss and Net Loss Per Share to Common Stockholders: Net loss in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, was $(1.8) million for the second quarter, driven primarily from the recording of a net, non-cash income tax reserve of $2.9 million. This compares to a GAAP net loss of $(1.8) million in the same period last year. Net loss for the second quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2006 includes share-based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, pursuant to the adoption on January 1, 2006 of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123®, "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123®), which requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar stock based compensation awards. Net loss per fully diluted share was $(0.07) for the second quarter of 2007 based on 23.9 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to net loss per fully diluted share of $(0.10) for the same period in 2006 based on 19.2 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Net Income / (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income / (Loss) Per Share: Non-GAAP net income / (loss), which excludes loss on disposal of fixed assets, share-based compensation expense pursuant to SFAS 123®, amortization of acquired intangibles and non cash income tax reserve, was $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $(0.2) million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted share was $0.10 for the second quarter of 2007 based on 28.2 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to non-GAAP net loss per fully diluted share of $(0.01) for the same period in 2006 based on 19.2 million weighted average shares outstanding.
