INFORMATICA ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
 
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 2, 2001 – Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the leading provider of business analytic solutions, today announced preliminary financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001. Based upon preliminary information, revenue for the quarter is expected to be approximately $47 million, and pro forma net loss is expected to be approximately $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, excluding non-operating charges of approximately $7 million related to the amortization of goodwill, other intangible assets and stock-based compensation. These preliminary results are based on management's initial analysis of second quarter operating results.

“During the quarter we continued to see softness in the U.S. economy and further slowing in Europe, both of which had an impact on our closure rates,” said Gaurav Dhillon, chief executive officer. “While we are cautious about the overall market recovery, we remain optimistic about the solid fundamentals of our underlying business model, and our market position remains strong.”
 
Informatica will host a conference call at 2:30 p.m. (PDT) today to discuss the preliminary second quarter results. There will be a live webcast of the call available at the company's website at www.informatica.com/investor.
