Scottsdale, Ariz. — January 29, 2007 — JDA^® Software Group, Inc.today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006. JDA reported a 61% increase in total revenues to $88.6 million for fourth quarter 2006, compared to total revenues of $55.1 million for fourth quarter 2005. Software revenue for fourth quarter 2006 increased by 14% to $17.7 million, compared to $15.6 million for fourth quarter 2005. The Manugistics acquisition, which closed on July 5, 2006, added $39.6 million to revenue during fourth quarter 2006 including $6.6 million of software revenue.

     JDA reported adjusted non-GAAP earnings for fourth quarter 2006 of $0.20 per share, which excludes amortization of acquired software technology and intangibles, restructuring charges, an adjustment to increase the carrying value of Series B Preferred Stock to its redemption value and one-time charges related to the discontinuance and replacement of the Portfolio Replenishment Optimization (PRO) software application, as compared to adjusted non-GAAP earnings of $0.15 per share for fourth quarter 2005, which excludes amortization of acquired software technology and intangibles and impairment charges, all of which are itemized in the attached schedule of non-GAAP measures of performance. The Company reported a GAAP loss for fourth quarter 2006 of ($0.04) per share, as compared to a GAAP loss of ($0.04) per share in fourth quarter 2005. The total revenue and software revenue results are consistent with the preliminary fourth quarter 2006 results that JDA announced on January 11, 2007.

     “Fourth quarter 2006 marked the beginning of the transition to a new JDA. We have established a distinctive and valuable offering and now the market has started to respond with a sequential software revenue increase of 29% over the third quarter 2006,” saidJDA CEO Hamish Brewer. “We delivered the majority of the cost synergies from the Manugistics acquisition in the third quarter and now we have completed that process with the announcement of the JDA Enterprise Architecture^TM, which has already received positive endorsements from our customers and other market leaders.”

     “The elimination of the duplicate products and associated R&D efforts was the right thing to do both in terms of customer satisfaction and long term expense reductions for JDA despite the consequential one-time charges. With these integration issues behind us, we can focus on developing the momentum that is already underway with significant new sales to companies like Office Max and IKEA.”

     Brewer and Kristen L. Magnuson, JDA’s executive vice president and CFO, will provide guidance for 2007 during JDA’s scheduled conference call.
