ended April 30, 2006. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051213/CGTU005LOGO ) "SSA
Global continues to deliver strong financial performance by
delivering comprehensive solutions that help our customers achieve
their critical business needs," said Mike Greenough, chairman,
president and CEO of SSA Global. Third quarter total revenue
increased 8% to $194.6 million compared to $180.4 million last
year. License revenue for the quarter was $62.3 million, an
increase of 19% from the third quarter last year and represented
32% of total revenue compared to 29% last year. On an organic
basis, excluding contribution from recent acquisitions in the
quarter and normalizing for foreign exchange equalization, license
revenue grew 12%. The acquisition of E.piphany, which closed on
September 29, 2005, contributed $15.1 million to total revenue and
$4.3 million to license revenue in the quarter. During the third
quarter, North America contributed 49% of total revenue; Europe,
Middle East and Africa (EMEA) contributed 35%; and
Asia-Pacific/Japan (APJ) and Latin America contributed 16%. For the
quarter, 1,361 contracts were signed, including 57 new customers
that represented 9% of total license value associated with software
contracts signed in the quarter. On an adjusted basis for the
quarter, total revenue grew 8% to $195.1 million and net income
grew 4% to $19.1 million or $0.26 per diluted share up from $18.4
million or $0.25 per diluted share last year. (Adjusted revenue,
net income and earnings per diluted share include deferred license
revenue associated with the E.piphany acquisition and an assumed
34% tax rate; it excludes amortization of acquired intangibles,
stock option-based compensation expense and restructuring charges).
For the quarter, the Company reported GAAP net income of $4.6
million compared to $9.2 million last year, and earnings per
diluted share under GAAP was $0.06. Cash and cash equivalents as of
April 30, 2006 totaled $140.6 million and net cash provided by
operating activities for the quarter totaled $19.4 million. Days
Sales Outstanding (DSO) were 77 and down from 83 days at the end of
the third quarter last year. Due to the Company's definitive
agreement to be acquired by Infor, which was announced on Monday,
May 15, 2006, the Company will not hold a conference call to
discuss its third quarter 2006 results. Presentation of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures The non-GAAP financial measures presented in the
text of this press release and accompanying supplementary financial
information (also referred to as "adjusted") represent the
financial measures used by the Company's management to evaluate the
quarterly operating and cash flows performance of the Company and
to conduct its business operations. These non-GAAP financial
measures are also used by management to evaluate return on
investment, income contribution and future impact to operating
results of potential mergers and acquisitions. In addition, these
non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal
comparisons to competitors' operating results and the software
industry in general. This non-GAAP financial information is
provided as additional information for investors and is not in
accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. In addition, the
non-GAAP financial information provided may be different than
similar measures used by other companies. However, the Company's
management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful
information to investors, potential investors, securities analysts
and others so each group can evaluate the Company's current and
future prospects in the same manner as management if they so
choose. A reconciliation of GAAP financial information to adjusted
results and EBITDA has been provided in the financial statement
tables that accompany this press release. About SSA Global SSA

"expect," "estimate," "intend," "project," "plan," "will be," "will

including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental
and technological factors outside of our control, that may cause
our business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from
the forward-looking statements. We operate in a changing

not possible for management to predict all of these risks, nor can
it assess the extent to which any factor, or a combination of
factors, may cause our business, strategy or actual results to
differ materially from those contained in forward-looking
statements. Factors you should consider that could cause these
differences include, among other things: -- General economic and
business conditions, including exchange rate fluctuations; -- Our
ability to identify acquisition opportunities and effectively and
cost-efficiently integrate acquisitions; -- Our ability to maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting; -- Our ability
to attract and retain personnel, including key personnel; -- Our
success in developing and introducing new services and products;

(3.000) - Footnotes - Adjustments: (1) In connection with the
Epiphany acquisition, we were required to eliminate deferred
license revenue for purchase accounting purposes. The adjustment
amount represents license fees that would have been otherwise
recorded by Epiphany that were not recognized for GAAP purposes.
(2) Represents the amortization of intangible assets and charges
associated with acquisitions, which includes acquired technology,
customer lists, patents and in-process research and development
charges. (3) Represents non-cash stock-based compensation expense
associated with stock options granted to certain employees on July
31, 2003 and the adoption of SFAS 123R effective August 1, 2005.
(4) Restructuring charges (benefits) include costs associated with
SSA employee severance and facilities termination costs and
adjustments to restructuring liabilities assumed in connection with
acquisitions that occur more than twelve months subsequent to the
consummation of the related acquisition. (5) Represents a non-cash
charge for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees
associated with early repayment of long-term debt. (6) Provision
for income taxes is adjusted to 34% for all periods as this
represents the Company's estimated long-term effective cash income
tax rate. The Company's cash income tax rate was approximately 10%
for fiscal 2005. (7) For the three and nine months ended April 30,
2005, the adjustments give effect to the issuance of common stock
associated with the initial public offering of common stock as if
it occurred November 1, 2004 and August 1, 2004, respectively,
including (a) conversion of preferred stock into 52.755 million
shares of common stock, (b) issuance of 10.350 million shares in
the initial public offering and (c) inclusion of potentially
dilutive securities in diluted earnings per common share that were
anti-dilutive for historical reporting purposes. For the three and
nine months ended April 30, 2006, the adjustment gives effect to
the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities in diluted
earnings per common share that were anti-dilutive for GAAP
reporting purposes. SSA GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
