Industri-Matematik International Announces Second Quarter Results
       STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 1999-- Industri-Matematik International Corp. (www.im.se and NASDAQ-NM Symbol: IMIC), a leader in advanced supply chain management solutions, today reported revenues of $18.3 million for its second fiscal quarter, which ended on October 31, 1999. This compares with revenues of $23.3 million for the same quarter last year.
       The revenue total for fiscal 2000's second quarter included license revenue of $1.0 million and service and maintenance revenue of $16.9 million. A year earlier, in the three months ended on October 31, 1998, the comparable figures were $6.0 million for license revenue and $17.0 for service and maintenance revenue.
       Industri-Matematik had a net loss of $6.9 million or $0.22 per share in this year's second quarter, compared with a net loss of $11.0 million or $0.33 per share a year earlier.
       In the six months ended October 31, 1999, the company had a net loss of $14.2 million or $0.45 per share with total license revenue and service and maintenance revenue amounting to $2.7 million and $31.7 million respectively. A year earlier, in the first half of fiscal 1999, the company reported a net loss of $14.7 million or $0.45 per share with total license revenue and service and maintenance revenue amounting to $10.3 million and $35.8 million, respectively.
       Stig Durlow, president and chief executive officer, said the second quarter results were in line with expectations. He said he is encouraged by growing market interest in the company's newest applications in supply chain execution, customer relationship management (CRM), and e-business.
       "The investment that we made in CRM in December 1998 with our acquisition of the Abalon software operations has already been a significant success," Mr. Durlow said. "CRM is an important part of the momentum that our new VIVALDI(TM) suite of applications is beginning to generate. We are also seeing a strong increase in interest in our warehouse management and replenishment management applications.
       "While market demand for big enterprise systems continues to be limited, Industri-Matematik is making real headway in repositioning itself as a provider of a suite of point solutions across a wide spectrum," he said. "The repositioning process necessarily takes time, and at this stage its effects are not seen in new license sales. However, we're making solid progress. We're on track with the expectations we had when we began this process." Significant recent events include:
  -    The selection of Industri-Matematik in late September, 1999 as a
       key application component of IBM's new Global Supply Chain
       Management initiative for e-business. In this alliance, the two
       organizations are working together on marketing, sales, service
       and product development of integrated, high-velocity supply chain
       solutions for e-businesses. Industri-Matematik was chosen along
       with i2 Technologies. Mr. Durlow said this initiative is moving
       forward rapidly, with heavy emphasis currently on educating the
       IBM sales force with Industri-Matematik's capabilities and
       offerings.
  -    Major success in the CRM market, including two new contracts in
       North America. In one of these, Industri-Matematik's VIVALDI CRM
       Contact Center solution was selected by Volvo Action Service, the
       call center arm of Volvo Parts, which supports Volvo truck, bus
       and marine equipment around the world.
       During the second fiscal quarter a number of major customers also "went live" with their Industri-Matematik applications. Among those completing implementations in North America were units of Land O' Lakes, Brunswick Outdoor Recreation Group, Smuckers, Zurn Industries, Starkist and Kellogg NA Frozen Food. In Europe, Telia, Sun Valley Foods and Gelia, a company in the Ahlsell Group, also went live.
       Also during the second fiscal quarter, Industri-Matematik licensed its advanced order management and supply chain execution software to its first pure e-tail customer, a U.S.-based start-up that intends to sell goods directly to consumers and small retailers via the Internet. In exchange for the license, Industri-Matematik has received a small equity interest in the company. To date, this company has not completed its required financing, has not commenced operations, and has no market for its equity securities, and accordingly Industri-Matematik has recognized no revenue or net asset value related to this transaction.
