Roxio Announces Preliminary First Quarter Results

Santa Clara, California - (June 25, 2002) - Roxio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROXI), The Digital Media Company®, provider of the best selling digital media software in the world, today announced that due to softness in consumer demand for PC and software products, the Company expects revenues for the first quarter to be approximately $31 million and pro forma net income to be approximately $0.02 per share. This compares to previously issued guidance of $35 million in revenues and pro forma net income of $0.15 per share. Pro forma net income excludes non-cash charges related to the amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation. On a reported basis, the loss per fully diluted share is estimated to be approximately $0.15.

Chris Gorog, Roxio's President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Our revenues in the first quarter, similar to others in our industry, are being impacted by greater than expected softness in revenues from OEMs worldwide and weakness in retail software sales, particularly in Europe. Industry indicators now suggest that the consumer and PC software sectors will be less robust in the near-term than previously anticipated. Roxio will release several major products throughout the balance of this fiscal year including our flagship Easy CD Creator, as well as new versions of top-selling software PhotoSuite, VideoWave and Toast, and we remain confident that these releases will drive sequential revenue growth in the second half of our fiscal year."
