Industri-Matematik International Announces Second Quarter Results

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2000--

- Company Reports Significantly Improved Bottom Line; 6 Launches Strategic New Products -

Industri-Matematik International Corp. (www.im.se and Nasdaq: IMIC), a recognized leader in customer-driven supply chain management solutions, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2000.

Revenues for the second quarter were $18.5 million, compared to $18.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2000. License revenue was $3.8 million versus $1.0 million a year earlier, and service and maintenance revenue was $14.1 million versus $16.9 million. The reported net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2000 was $650 thousand or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.9 million or $0.22 per share in the same period last year.

Stig Durlow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Industri-Matematik, said, "We have had a goal as an organization to bring our quarterly operating cash flow back into positive territory and with the second quarter results we are presenting today, I believe that we have substantially achieved this goal. EBITDA was only a few thousand dollars short of breakeven for the quarter. Industri Matematik has brought this together during the past year by streamlining its cost structure, remaining focused on the development of new products and maintaining revenue streams."

Commenting further on the progress in the quarter Mr. Durlow said, "We closed several important deals in the second quarter, the most important of which was with Canadian Tire. The Canadian Tire agreement is significant because it represents the first deal for our new VivaldiNet(TM) product suite, a suite of B2B e-business components for the Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) market. Our strategy for this market is to leverage early adopters, work with them to continue developing new components, and then bring a suite to a broadened customer base. Canadian Tire is an ideal example of an early adopter of our SCEM capabilities.

"In addition to buying our first SCEM applications, Canadian Tire has agreed to exchange knowledge and experience with us to accelerate the development of our future SCEM products. By working with Canadian Tire, we plan to develop a blueprint for retailers to gain supply chain visibility over the extended, virtual enterprise."

The Company also closed a deal with TNT Post Group N.V. (TPG), one of the world's largest logistics service providers. TPG is deploying the VIVALDI(TM) CRM solution to provide customers and suppliers globally with the ability to access real-time order status via the Web. TPG is also using VIVALDI marketing and sales automation software to identify, profile and segment customers, as well as to measure, monitor and modify sales campaigns. The first stage of implementation is already underway in Germany with a planned site of 1000 users.

Another new customer won during the quarter was Kramp Group, a wholesale distributor of spare parts and accesories for the agricultural market throughout Europe. Kramp Group will deploy the complete suite of VIVALDI products.

The Company has also made progress in its strategy of forming partnerships with leading technology companies. First, IBM and Industri-Matematik expanded their strategic alliance to jointly market and sell Industri-Matematik's VIVALDI software running on the IBM WebSphere platform, the first web infrastructure software to help companies at each stage of e-business development. Second, the Company entered into an agreement with Blue Martini Software to integrate Blue Martini's Customer Interaction system with Industri-Matematik's fulfillment solution and provide a combined e-business solution that addresses requirements to control the quality and velocity of transactions across a supply chain.

Commenting on these partnership agreements, Mr. Durlow said, "These partnership agreements augment our product offering enabling us to deliver complete e-business solutions to existing and potential customers."

Mr. Durlow concluded, "Overall, I am very pleased with the steady progress we are making as we move closer to profitability and continue to expand our product footprint. With a focused organization, I am confident in our ability to continue improving our financial results."
