While Corel's revenue for fiscal 2001 declined by $23.2 million from the previous year, the company achieved a $48-million positive gain to its bottom line, a direct result of measures instituted across all areas of its operations to reduce expenditures.

"The financial discipline we injected into the company resulted in three consecutive profitable quarters. While recent events and general economic conditions impacted our revenues during the fourth quarter of 2001, our strict cost controls, healthy cash position and strengthened balance sheet helped mitigate the impact of these external factors.'' "2001 was a turning point for Corel. We consistently met the milestones we laid out for the first phase of the three-year growth strategy we unveiled at the beginning of 2001,'' said Derek Burney, president and CEO of Corel.
