     September 26, 2000 04:15 PM Eastern Time   PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- TIBCO Software Inc. TIBX , a leading provider of real-time infrastructure software for e-business, announced today results for its third fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2000. Growth during the quarter was driven by increasing demand for TIBCO's infrastructure software, which powers many of the world's leading e-businesses.  Total revenues for the third quarter were $67.2 million, an increase of 180 percent over $24 million in the same period a year earlier and a 24 percent increase over the prior quarter. Year-to-date revenues were $163.2 million, up from $63.1 million, a 159 percent increase over the same period last year. 
  Excluding non-cash charges relating to stock compensation and goodwill, TIBCO's net income for the third fiscal quarter was $16.4 million, or 7 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million, or 2 cents per share, for the third quarter of 1999. 
  License revenues were $48.5 million for the third quarter, an increase of 269 percent from $13.2 million in the same period last year. 
  "Momentum in the market for B2B and wireless solutions has never been stronger," said Vivek Ranadive, chairman and CEO of TIBCO Software. "More and more businesses are deploying industrial-strength infrastructure software to operate their e-businesses.
