             Lawson Software Files Fiscal 2006 Form 10-K

    ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 2006--Lawson Software,
Inc. (Nasdaq:LWSN) yesterday filed its Form 10-K and related audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company has completed the
consolidation of results of operations for the former Intentia
International AB, which Lawson acquired on April 25, 2006. As
previously announced, the company used the SEC's 15-day extension
period for filing its Form 10-K due to the complexity of adopting U.S.
GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) for the former
Intentia operations and the limited time between the closing date of
the acquisition and Lawson's fiscal year end.
    On July 27, 2006, the company reported preliminary financial
results for its fiscal fourth quarter ended May 31, 2006, which
included unaudited results for the legacy Lawson operations and
preliminary estimated ranges for the results of consolidated
operations including Intentia. Lawson's final consolidated GAAP net
loss for its fiscal fourth quarter of $4.8 million, or $0.03 per
share, was more favorable than the preliminary net loss range of $9.3
to $12.8 million, or $0.07 to $0.09 per share, driven primarily by
lower-than-anticipated income taxes for Intentia's operations. All
other final results fall within the range of preliminary results
provided.
    To access Lawson's final fiscal 2006 financial statements and Form
10-K, please go to www.sec.gov.
    Also included in this press release are new supplemental financial
schedules to provide a reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP
measures. Lawson intends to continue to provide these supplemental
schedules in our fiscal 2007 financial releases for the convenience of
analysts who research our company and the software industry.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains forward-looking statements that
contain risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements
contain statements of intent, belief or current expectations of Lawson
Software and its management. Such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future results and involve risks and uncertainties that
may cause actual results to differ materially from the potential
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The company is
not obligated to update forward-looking statements based on
circumstances or events that occur in the future. Risks and
uncertainties that may cause such differences include but are not
limited to: uncertainties in Lawson's ability to realize synergies and
revenue opportunities anticipated from the Intentia International
acquisition; uncertainties in the software industry; global military
conflicts; terrorist attacks; pandemics, and any future events in
response to these developments; changes in conditions in the company's
targeted industries; increased competition and other risk factors
listed in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as included in Lawson
Holding's Form S-4 Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed with the
Commission. Lawson assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking
information contained in this press release.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

    In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software
reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude
amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia
integration costs, restructuring charges, certain stock-based
compensation expenses and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's
non-GAAP financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance
contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred
revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP
results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition.
Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this press
release are useful to investors because they provide supplemental
information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software
companies that have recently made significant acquisitions. Management
uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results,
develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method Lawson uses to
produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, may differ
from the methods used by other companies, and should not be regarded
as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this
release. Additional information can be found on the investor relations
page of Lawson's Web site at www.lawson.com/investor.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software
reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude
amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia
integration costs, restructuring charges, certain stock-based
compensation expenses and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's
non-GAAP  financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance
contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred
revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP
results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition.
Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this
press release are useful to investors because they provide
supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to
analyze software companies that have recently made significant
acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its
financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The
method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed
according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by other
companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for
corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable
GAAP results, which is attached to this release. Additional
information can be found on the investor relations page of Lawson's
Web site at www.lawson.com/investor.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software
reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude
amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia
integration costs, restructuring charges, certain stock-based
compensation expenses and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's
non-GAAP financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance
contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred
revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP
results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition.
Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this press
release are useful to investors because they provide supplemental
information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software
companies that have recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses
these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets
and manage expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is
not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by
other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for
corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable
GAAP results, which is attached to this release. Additional
information can be found on the investor relations page of Lawson's
Web site at www.lawson.com/investor.
