• GAAP income from operations of $1.1 million, net income of $0.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share for the third quarter.

• Non-GAAP income from operations of $2.6 million, net income of $1.9 million or $0.07 per diluted share for the third quarter, at the high end of our guided range.

• Cash and cash equivalents of $55.9 million, no debt and $4.7 million of positive cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Houston, Texas — November 5, 2009 — PROS Holdings, Inc.(NYSE: PRO), a leading provider of pricing and margin optimization science and software, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $16.5 million, at the high end of the company’s guided range. License and implementation revenue was $10.3 million and maintenance and support revenue was $6.2 million.

Bert Winemiller, Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are pleased with our financial performance in the third quarter of 2009, as revenue and non-GAAP EPS met the high end of our guidance. We believe the market for Pricing and Margin Optimization software is in the early innovator stage, market penetration is in the low single digits and more companies will turn to proven science-based pricing and margin optimization solutions in the future and shift to science-based pricing from spreadsheets and current destructive pricing practices. The company continues to be prudent about our spending in this economy but with a strong balance sheet, we are in a unique position to invest in our people, products, processes and sales and marketing to drive our science and product innovation and improve our relative competitive position. We remain focused on our strategic goals of delivering significant value to our customers early in our implementations with an increasing ROI over time and low Total Cost of Ownership. While the macro economy continues to be challenging and forecasting for the longer-term remains difficult, we believe interest in PROS science-based Pricing and Margin Optimization software continues to increase as sales related activity levels continue to be very good with increasing participation by prospects at our sales events and webcasts.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, PROS reported income from operations, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), of $1.1 million compared with $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. GAAP net income in the quarter was $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, at the high end of its guided range, compared with $2.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, non-GAAP income from operations was $2.6 million compared with $4.4 million for the same period in 2008. Non-GAAP net income was $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, at the high end of the Company’s guided range, compared with non-GAAP net income of $3.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. These non-GAAP results in the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 exclude $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of stock based compensation charges.

The effective tax rate was approximately 29% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The change in the tax rates

was entirely due to the timing of the reinstatement of the Research and Experimentation (“R&E”) tax credit which was not signed into law until October 2008. As a result, PROS recorded the full benefit of the R&E tax credit for 2008 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Charles Murphy, Executive Vice President and CFO, stated, “With the continuing uncertainty of the global recession, we are very pleased with our operating results for the third quarter. Even in this challenging economy, we were able to maintain a good level of profitability and continued positive cash flow. Our strong balance sheet, history of profitability and positive cash flow positions us positively as customers consider vendor viability when making a purchasing decision. Although we believe it is too early to discern a significant change in our business environment, our business trends have been showing signs of stabilizing and we are pleased that based on our fourth quarter guidance we expect a modest increase in revenue over the third quarter. Also, the strength of our balance sheet positions us to achieve our objectives with $56 million in cash, $50 million in working capital and no debt.” The attached table provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP income from operations and net income as well as net income per share available to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
