QAD Posts Revenue of $56 Million and Net Income of $2 Million
in Fiscal 2004 Second Quarter
Carpinteria, Calif. — August 20, 2003 — QAD Inc. (NASDAQ:QADI) today reported financial results for the fiscal 2004 second quarter and six-month period ended July 31, 2003.
For the fiscal 2004 second quarter, revenue increased 24 percent to $56.0 million from $45.3 million in the same period last year. License revenue rose 41 percent to $15.8 million, compared with $11.2 million in the fiscal 2003 second quarter. Maintenance and other revenue increased 9 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to $28.9 million, reflecting the impact of new licenses in addition to strong maintenance renewals. Fiscal 2004 second quarter service revenue grew 48 percent over the comparable prior year period to $11.4 million, due primarily to the TRW ISCS acquisition completed in November 2002.
Net income for the fiscal 2004 second quarter was $1.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. In the fiscal 2003 second quarter, the company’s reported net loss was $4.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.
“The second quarter results reflect QAD’s continued solid performance in revenue, profitability and cash flow from operations, despite a challenging economic environment,” said Karl Lopker, chief executive officer of QAD. “Our software solutions provide deep functionality within selected industry verticals and we believe that this resonates strongly with customers who are seeking measurable and rapid return on investment. We remain focused on leveraging our unique capabilities for manufacturers and delivering these solutions on a global scale.”
QAD’s cash and equivalents balance at July 31, 2003 was $43.5 million. For the fiscal 2004 second quarter, cash flow provided by operations was $1.2 million, continuing the momentum of positive annual operating cash flow.

Note to Investors: This press release contains certain forward-looking statements made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, evolving demand for the company’s software products and products that operate with the company’s products; the company’s ability to sustain strong licensing demand; the ability to sustain customer renewal rates at current levels; the publication of opinions by industry analysts about the company, its products and technology; the reliability of estimates of transaction and integration costs and benefits; difficulties relating to integration of a new business; the entry of new competitors and their technological advances; delays in localizing the company’s products for new markets; delays in sales as a result of lengthy sales cycles; changes in operating expenses, pricing, timing of new product releases, the method of product distribution or product mix; general economic conditions, exchange rate fluctuations and the global political environment. In addition, revenue and earnings in the enterprise resource planning (ERP), e-business and distributed order management software industries are subject to fluctuations. Software license revenue, in particular, is subject to variability with a significant proportion of revenue earned in the last month of each quarter. Given the high margins associated with license revenue, modest fluctuations can have a substantial impact on net income. Investors should not use any one quarter’s results as a benchmark for future growth. For a more detailed description of the risk factors associated with the company and the industries in which it operates, please refer to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2003 ended January 31, 2003.
