Manhattan Associates currently intends to publish, in each quarterly earnings release, certain expectations with respect to future financial performance.  These statements are forward-looking.  Actual results may differ materially, especially in the current uncertain economic environment. These statements do not reflect the potential impact of mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations that may be completed after the date of this release.

Manhattan Associates will make its earnings release and published expectations available on its website (www.manh.com).  Beginning June 15, 2012, Manhattan Associates will observe a "Quiet Period" during which Manhattan Associates and its representatives will not comment concerning previously published financial expectations.  Prior to the start of the Quiet Period, the public can continue to rely on the expectations published in this 2012 Guidance section as being Manhattan Associates' current expectation on matters covered, unless Manhattan Associates publishes a notice stating otherwise.  During the Quiet Period, previously published expectations should be considered historical only, speaking only as of or prior to the Quiet Period, and Manhattan Associates disclaims any obligation to update any previously published financial expectations during the Quiet Period.  The Quiet Period will extend until publication of Manhattan Associates' next quarterly earnings release, currently scheduled for the third full week of July 2012.

CONFERENCE CALL

The Company's conference call regarding its first quarter financial results will be held at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday April 24, 2012.  Investors are invited to listen to a live webcast of the conference call through the investor relations section of Manhattan Associates' website at www.manh.com.  To listen to the live webcast, please go to the website at least 15 minutes before the call to download and install any necessary audio software.  For those who cannot listen to the live broadcast, a replay can be accessed shortly after the call by dialing +1.855.859.2056 in the U.S. and Canada, or +1.404.537.3406 outside the U.S., and entering the conference identification number 64993888 or via the web at www.manh.com.

GAAP VERSUS NON-GAAP PRESENTATION

The Company provides adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in this press release as additional information regarding the Company's operating results.  These measures are not in accordance with – or an alternative to – GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share measures used by other companies.  The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' understanding of its historical operating trends, because it provides important supplemental measurement information in evaluating the operating results of its business, as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results.  The Company consequently believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful insight into its profitability. This release should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 8-K earnings release filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. 

The non-GAAP adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share exclude the impact of acquisition-related costs and the amortization thereof and equity-based compensation – all net of income tax effects and unusual tax adjustments.   Reconciliations of the Company's GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP adjustments are included in the supplemental information attached to this release.

(a) To be consistent with other companies in the software industry, we report adjusted results excluding all equity-based compensation. The equity-based compensation is included in the following GAAP operating expense lines for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:
  Three Months Ended March 31,

Sales and marketing  633  586
General and administrative  868  1,104
Total equity-based compensation  $ 1,660  $ 2,409
     
(b) Adjustments represent purchased intangibles amortization from prior acquisitions. Such amortization is commonly excluded from GAAP net income by companies in our industry and we therefore exclude these amortization costs to provide more relevant and meaningful comparisons of our operating results to that of our competitors.
     
(c) For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the adjustment represents a tax benefit from disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options that were previously expensed. As discussed above, we excluded equity-based compensation from adjusted non-GAAP results to be consistent with other companies in the software industry. Therefore, we also excluded the related tax benefit generated upon their disposition.
