EPIC Epicor Software Corp. (MM)

Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that based on preliminary financial data, the Company expects reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010, to exceed the Company's previously provided guidance. Driven by strong sales of Epicor 9, the Company expects 2010 third quarter software license revenue to be in the range of $19 to $20 million, an increase of approximately 40% to 45% over 2009 third quarter software license revenue of $13.7 million. Total revenue for the 2010 third quarter is now expected to be in the range of $109 to $111 million, compared to previously provided guidance of $106 to $108 million. 2010 third quarter non-GAAP EPS is also expected to exceed the top end of the range of the Company's previously provided guidance, which was $0.13 to $0.15. All results should be considered preliminary pending the Company's filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Epicor chairman, president and CEO George Klaus commented, "Our very strong software license sales in the third quarter are further evidence that the investments we have been making to capitalize on the expanded opportunities created by our latest products continue to pay dividends. Epicor is selling into more markets than ever before and our superior products are driving market share gains. We are continuing to expand the reach of Epicor 9 and our pipelines are continuing to build as a result."
