Manugistics Announces Second Quarter Results

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Manugistics Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq: MANU) today reported quarterly revenues and earnings for the period
ended August 31, 1999. For its second quarter, Manugistics generated revenues
of $33.8 million. The company reported a net loss for the quarter of
approximately $3.4 million, or $.13 per basic and diluted share compared to a
net loss of $6.0 million, or $.23 per basic and diluted share, in the same
quarter in the prior year.

"Manugistics continues to move forward with its transition with an
infusion of new leadership, a shift to solution selling and the rebuilding of
the global sales organization. These changes are necessary to position
Manugistics for future growth, and I am encouraged by our progress," said Greg
Owens, president and chief executive officer of Manugistics. "While I am
disappointed in our second quarter performance, my belief in the value of this
franchise has increased based upon the strength of our solutions, the domain
expertise of Manugistics employees and the significant value that we provide
for our clients."

"I am also excited by the interest in our e-Chain solutions that is fueled
by general trends in eBusiness," continued Owens. "As we move forward, we
will focus on completing our transition plan, growing software license
revenues, and continuing to prudently manage expenses."

For the six-month period ending August 31, 1999, Manugistics generated
revenues of $73.0 million. The company reported a net loss for the six months
of approximately $3.0 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared
to a net loss of $14.5 million, or $.55 per basic and diluted share, in the
same period of the prior year.
