Industri-Matematik International Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End Results; Continued Gains in License Revenue New Internet Business Solution Cornerstone for Strategy

STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2000--
Industri-Matematik International Corp. (www.im.se and Nasdaq: IMIC), a
recognized leader in customer-driven supply chain management solutions,
today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended
April 30, 2000.

Revenues for the fourth quarter were $21.2 million, compared to
$20.1 million for the same period in 1999. License revenue was $5.2
million versus $2.6 million a year earlier, and service and
maintenance revenue was $15.5 million versus $17.1 million. The
reported net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2000 was $2.7
million or $0.09 per share. A year earlier the company had a net loss
of $11.6 million or $0.36 per share.

Revenues for fiscal year 2000 were $75.0 million, compared to
$87.0 million for fiscal 1999. License revenue was $12.2 million,
compared to $17.0 million in fiscal 1999. Reported net loss for fiscal
2000 was $22.8 million, or $0.72 per share, compared to a net loss of
$35.3 million, or $1.09 per share a year earlier.

Stig Durlow, president and chief executive officer of
Industri-Matematik, said that in the fourth quarter of the 2000 fiscal
year Industri-Matematik made significant progress in both of its
primary target markets, B2B enterprise solutions and Internet
e-commerce.

"License revenues were up both in dollars and as a percent of
revenue," Mr. Durlow said. "Also noteworthy is the fact that our wins
in the quarter involved the whole spectrum of our product offerings:
advanced order management and fulfillment, warehousing, CRM and a new
solution package that combines fulfillment and customer relationship
management for both B2B and B2C Internet businesses."

Significant events of the fourth quarter included:

- A large, multi-year B2B enterprise systems sale to the Sherwin

Williams company, a large manufacturer and retailer based in

Cleveland. Sherwin Williams Consumer Group will use

Industri-Matematik's VIVALDI(TM) software to streamline order

processing and fulfillment for its 2,400 retail stores and wide

range of consumer paint brands. Sherwin Williams will use several

components of the VIVALDI suite including advanced order

management, warehousing and customer relationship management. The

agreement also includes e-Replenishment(TM), a solution that

Industri-Matematik is offering jointly with IBM.

- A significant enterprise deal was signed with J. R. Hillebrand, a

German company that handles 30 percent of the world's

transportation and distribution of wines and spirits. Hillebrand

also will use multiple components of Industri-Matematik's VIVALDI

suite.

- Multiple sales of the company's new solution for B2B and B2C

Internet businesses. New customers for the integrated

eCRM/eFulfillment software include: FULLeCOM, a U.S.-based

provider of business-to-business and business-to-consumer

logistics services; Yellowrent.com, an e-business portal for

European vacation rentals; and CoShopper.com, a market aggregator

serving consumers and small businesses in Europe and Asia.

- The creation by Industri-Matematik of a new business unit focused

on providing an integrated eCRM/eFulfillment package to Internet

businesses.

Mr. Durlow said, "By creating a new business unit for
eCRM/eFulfillment, Industri-Matematik will be able to focus on the
different needs of its two primary market segments. The changes will
impact sales, marketing and product development. The two markets have
different characteristics and we are aligning our organization to
reflect that. These changes will accelerate our ability to respond to
rapidly changing market conditions, accelerate new product development
efforts and increase sales and marketing effectiveness. The new
solution for Internet businesses positions Industri-Matematik as a
leader in the e-commerce revolution and is the cornerstone of our
strategy."

Additionally, Durlow sees a change in the company's revenue model.
"You will see our revenue base continue to shift from a pattern of a
small number of very large deals each quarter to a more balanced mix
of large and small deals along with repeat orders from existing
customers," he said. "Traditionally, we have sold a large enterprise
solution with a multi-million-dollar price tag. Over the past two
years, we have been breaking this solution down into individual
components such as advanced order management and adding and developing
new components like warehousing and CRM. We now have a broader
footprint of solutions tailored to the needs of different market
segments. This increases our market appeal and potential customer
base."

Components such as the VIVALDI Advanced Order Management,
Warehouse Management and CRM will be targeted at large retailers,
wholesalers, manufacturers and third party logistics providers with
fast-moving, high-volume, order fulfillment requirements. The new
eFulfillment and eCRM solution will be targeted at B2B and B2C
Internet businesses.

"We enter the new fiscal year with a new structure, new momentum
in key market segments, and a positive outlook about the future of our
business," said Durlow. "The restructuring implemented last year has
brought our costs back in line and enabled us to move toward
profitability without sacrificing important sales, marketing and
product development initiatives. With cash balances and short-term
investments in excess of $30 million at the end of fiscal year 2000,
we have a strong balance sheet and the resources to continue extending
our presence in the supply chain management and e-business
marketplaces."
