Industri-Matematik International Announces Second Quarter 2003 Results


MT. LAUREL, N.J., Nov. 19, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Industri-Matematik International Corp. (Nasdaq:IMIC) -- the Order Company -- today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2002.

Revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2002 were $13.3 million as compared to $15.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2002. License revenue was $0.5 million as compared to $1.9 million a year earlier, and service and maintenance revenue was $12.5 million as compared to $12.8 million in the prior year. The reported net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2002 was $5.8 million, or $0.18 per share (including the restructuring charge referred to below of $0.12 per share). For the corresponding quarter a year earlier the Company had a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share. The second fiscal quarter results do not include any material expenses related to the tender offer referred to below.

On October 10, 2002, the Company announced a restructuring designed to substantially reduce costs by approximately $2.0 million per quarter. As a result of these expense reductions, management believes that the Company will achieve break-even operating results (excluding any acquisition related charges) on a quarterly basis in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 (ending April 30, 2003). The restructuring has resulted in a charge of $3.8 million, which has been recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. As of October 31, 2002, $3.7 million of that amount remains as a liability and has not yet been paid. The Company anticipates that approximately $1.7 million and $1.2 million of that amount will be paid in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2003, respectively. The remaining amount of $0.8 million will be paid in fiscal year 2004.

Revenues for the six-months ended October 31, 2002 were $23.8 as compared to $28.8 million for the same period last year. License revenue for the six-months ended October 31, 2002 was $0.8 million as compared to $2.6 million a year earlier. Service and maintenance revenue was $22.3 million for the six-months ended October 31, 2002 as compared to $25.0 million a year earlier. For the six-months ended October 31, 2002 the Company had a net loss of $10.2 million, or $0.32 per share (including the restructuring charge referred to above of $0.12 per share) as compared to $2.2 million, or $0.07 per share, during the same period last year.

"During the second quarter we continued to focus our efforts on creating value for our customers. Before the restructuring charge, our operating results improved as compared to last quarter and this is proof that our customers value our products and services," said Lin Johnstone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Industri-Matematik.

On November 4, 2002, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive merger agreement with certain subsidiaries of Symphony Technology Group. On November 12, 2002, pursuant to the merger agreement, STG OMS Acquisition Corp. launched a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock for a purchase price of $.35 per share, net to the seller, in cash, subject to certain conditions including the condition that at least 65% of the Company's outstanding shares are tendered. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on December 10, 2002, unless extended. The complete terms and conditions of the offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, copies of which are available by contacting the information agent, D.F. King & Co., Inc., at (800) 735-3591. If less than all of the outstanding shares are acquired in the offer, the remaining shares will be acquired in a second step merger.

Management will host a conference call to discuss the Company's results for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, today, November 19, 2002. To participate in the call, dial (800) 553-0351 in the U.S. or +1 (612) 332-0523 from outside the U.S. This information is also available at the Industri-Matematik site on the World Wide Web at: http:// www.industri-matematik.com.
