       CHECKFREE CLOSES FISCAL 2003 WITH SOLID FOURTH QUARTER PERFORMANCE


         ATLANTA (August 5, 2003) - CheckFree Corporation (NASDAQ: CKFR) today
announced fourth quarter revenue of $144.6 million and net income of $20.0
million, or $0.22 per share, compared to revenue of $130.6 million and net
income of $12.8 million, or $0.14 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2002, all on a pro forma basis. On a GAAP basis, CheckFree reported revenue of
$144.6 million compared to revenue of $127.9 million in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2002. The net loss for the quarter of $17.0 million, or $0.19 per share,
compared to a net loss of $59.4 million, or $0.67 per share, for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company's free cash flow was $37.8 million for the
quarter, and $133.5 million for the year. Free cash flow is calculated by taking
GAAP net cash provided by operating activities and deducting property and
software purchases.

         Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, increased 11 percent over
the comparative quarter of last year on a pro forma basis. Pro forma results for
the quarter exclude $45.0 million of acquisition-related amortization, a $10.2
million intangible asset impairment charge, and a $1.4 million true-up of a
previous reorganization charge, offset by $19.7 million of related tax benefits.
This compares to pro forma results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 that
excluded a non-cash reduction of revenue of $2.7 million associated with
warrants issued to a third party, $89.3 million of acquisition-related
amortization and a $0.5 million update to a fiscal 2002 third quarter
reorganization charge, offset by $20.3 million of related tax benefits.

         CheckFree adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 142 regarding accounting for goodwill as of July 1, 2002, and has
discontinued amortizing its goodwill associated with previous acquisitions. Had
the Company adopted SFAS 142 in the prior year and eliminated goodwill
amortization at that time, its comparative GAAP net loss would have been $17.7
million and net loss per share would have been $0.20 for the quarter ended June
30, 2002.

         CheckFree Chairman and CEO Pete Kight said, "Overall, we are pleased
with our results this quarter, and with our execution throughout this fiscal
year. Each of our divisions executed on, or ahead of, plan for the quarter. We
experienced on-target biller and Consumer Service Provider signings coupled with
tremendous growth in e-bill distribution in our Electronic Commerce division,
stronger-than-expected sales in our Software business, and strong service
innovations through our Investment Services unit. For the year, we delivered
solid execution against our plan, and extended our leadership position in each
of the markets in which we compete.

         "Quality, cost and innovation - on which we've based our business model
- - will continue to drive our strategic and operational direction in the next
fiscal year," he continued. "We expect a more stable investment market to
benefit our Investment Services division later in the year and anticipate solid
performance in our Software division, where we are actively pursuing additional
growth opportunities. We also expect to see continued strong gains in electronic
payments and continued acceleration in electronic billing," Kight concluded.

CORE ELECTRONIC BILLING AND PAYMENT METRICS

o        CheckFree processed about 120.2 million transactions in the fourth
         quarter, an increase of seven percent from the 111.9 million
         transactions processed in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, and a 37
         percent increase over the 87.9 million transactions processed in the
         fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. For the year, CheckFree processed more
         than 434 million transactions.

o        Transactions in the Full Service category were up nine percent
         sequentially for the quarter, with active subscribers up about eight
         percent sequentially to 4.2 million. In the fourth quarter, CheckFree
         processed 87.5 million transactions and recorded revenue of $82.6
         million in its Full Service category, compared to 80.3 million
         transactions and revenue of $81.5 million in the prior quarter. The
         Company saw an expected decline in revenue per transaction in this
         category this quarter, primarily due to a large customer steadily
         growing its base of electronic billing and payment customers and
         achieving a new pricing tier.

o        Transactions in the Payment Services category were up three percent
         sequentially. For this category, CheckFree processed 32.7 million
         transactions and recorded revenue of $12.3 million in the fourth
         quarter, compared to 31.6 million transactions and revenue of $12.8
         million for the prior quarter.

o        CheckFree's electronic payment rate exceeded 75 percent during the
         fourth quarter.

o        As of June 30, 2003, consumers were able to both view and pay bills
         through 949 Consumer Service Providers using CheckFree's services,
         compared with 842 at the end of the previous quarter, and 584 at the
         end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

o        CheckFree distributed more than 11.5 million e-bills in the fourth
         quarter, up 31 percent sequentially over the 8.8 million e-bills
         distributed in the third quarter, and up more than 200 percent over the
         3.8 million e-bills distributed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.
         This equates to a run rate of more than 46 million e-bills per year.

o        Consumers can now view and pay a total of 279 different e-bills through
         Consumer Service Providers using CheckFree's services, compared to 274
         at the end of the previous quarter, and 262 in the same period of
         fiscal 2002.

o        More than 10 million consumers initiated a payment through
         CheckFree-managed services during the quarter.

EXPECTATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2004

         "In fiscal 2004, CheckFree expects to post positive earnings per share,
on a pro forma basis, in the range of $0.93 to $0.97; and about breakeven
performance on a GAAP basis. This projection includes expense of more than $0.02
for the year related to CheckFree's Stock Option Exchange Program," said David
Mangum, CheckFree's chief financial officer. "We expect to continue to leverage
operating efficiencies that our business model affords across each of our
divisions, and anticipate free cash flow growth approaching 20 percent for the
year."

         "For the first quarter of 2004, we project revenue in the range of $135
to $140 million, pro forma earnings per share in the range of $0.18 to $0.20,
and a GAAP loss per share in the range of $0.08 to $0.12, each of which includes
$1.1 million of expense related to the Exchange Program," he continued.

         "Sequential quarterly transaction growth for the first quarter should
be in the range of two to four percent. We anticipate that the peak of the
transaction volume that will be moving off our system by two in-house banks will
take place in the first quarter. We also expect to experience the effects of
typical software licensing seasonality during the period. As our full-year
guidance reflects, in the remaining quarters of the year we expect to report
revenue and earnings results more consistent with our recent performance,"
Mangum concluded.

         Separately, CheckFree also announced that its Board of Directors has
approved extending the repurchase program, under which the Corporation may
purchase shares of its common stock and/or convertible notes for up to a
combined total of $40 million, through August 31, 2004.

Management evaluates the operations of the Company exclusive of pro forma items.
Pro forma items represent either non-cash charges which do not impact our free
cash flow, or other items, which are evaluated separately as they arise.
Therefore, we believe the pro forma results of operations provide useful
information to investors consistent with our internal performance measurements.
These supplemental pro forma statements of operations for the three and twelve
month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are for illustrative purposes only
and are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
