PALO ALTO, California, April 19, 2000 - Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), a leading provider of analytic solutions for e-business, today announced record results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were $25.9 million, a 136% increase from the corresponding quarter of 1999. Net income for the quarter, excluding non-operating charges related to the amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, was $0.04 per share.

"Simply put, our analytical solutions have become the enterprise standard for many leading companies around the world. Our continued success on the product, partnership and sales fronts positions us well to become a leader in the fast-expanding market for analytic solutions."
