INFORMATICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER REVENUES OF $50.7 MILLION

Strengthens position through acquisition and infrastructure focus

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., October 16, 2003 - Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), a leading provider of data integration and business intelligence software, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2003 were $50.7 million, up slightly from the $50.5 million recorded in the second quarter of 2003, and also up over the $47.6 million recorded in the third quarter of 2002. Net loss for the third quarter, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), was $0.2 million or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $17.3 million or $0.22 per share in the third quarter of 2002. Pro forma net income for the third quarter of 2003 was $4.5 million or $0.05 per share, up from $0.1 million or $0.00 per share in the third quarter of 2002. Pro forma operating results discussed in this press release exclude charges related to the amortization of other intangible assets and stock-based compensation, purchased in-process research and development and restructuring charges. All of these expenses are included in Informatica's GAAP results.

For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003, revenues were $149.8 million, an increase from the $145.3 million recorded during the first nine months of 2002. GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2003 was $4.2 million or $0.05 per share, an increase from net loss of $17.1 million or $0.21 per share for the first nine months of 2002. Pro forma net income for the first nine months of 2003 was $9.3 million or $0.11 per share, an increase from $1.0 million or $0.01 per share in the first nine months of 2002.

“This was a pivotal quarter for Informatica as we drove forward with persistent focus around our infrastructure business, while continuing to deliver customer success, product innovation and industry leadership,” said Gaurav Dhillon, president and CEO of Informatica. “With our acquisition of Striva and launch of our metadata management product SuperGlue, we have demonstrated our commitment to delivering the most comprehensive, unified platform for integrating and visualizing data anywhere in the organization at a time when CIOs are consistently ranking integration and visibility among their top needs. Our customers continue to derive tremendous ROI from our solutions, with a customer going live almost every day of the quarter.”

Significant milestones achieved in the third quarter of 2003 include:

  • Signed repeat business with 124 customers. Customers continue to derive value from their investment in Informatica solutions, including American Eagle Outfitters, AXA, Best Buy, Federal Express, Hearst Corporation, GE Aircraft, Hoffman La Roche, Lockheed Martin, Motorola, T-Mobile, Union Bank of California, U.S. Secret Service and Warner Brothers.
  • Signed 55 new customers. Informatica increased its customer base this quarter to 1,860 companies. New customers include Allianz Australia, Amway, Boston Children's Hospital, Equity One, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Highmark, Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Siemens Building Technologies, Telecom Italia, U.S. Agency for International Development and U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
  • Completed acquisition of Striva Corporation. An award-winning provider of mainframe data integration solutions, Striva extends Informatica's leadership in comprehensive enterprise data integration and business intelligence with innovative mainframe technology for high-speed bulk data movement and industry-leading solutions for real-time change data capture in legacy and non-legacy environments.
  • Launched Informatica SuperGlue metadata management product. Designed to empower CIOs with greater visibility and control of their enterprise information assets, Informatica SuperGlue is the industry's first completely Web-based metadata management solution for assembling, visualizing and analyzing information about data and systems across the enterprise. Leveraging Informatica's data integration and business intelligence software, SuperGlue integrates disparate enterprise metadata and vividly portrays and controls the movement, lineage and utilization of information assets, enabling organizations to reduce business risk and increase productivity while helping to reduce IT development and maintenance costs.
  • Enhanced data quality offering through an OEM agreement with Firstlogic, Inc. Informatica's market-leading data integration platform now embeds powerful data-quality technology from Firstlogic, providing customers with a unified solution for best-of-breed data quality and integration capabilities.
  • Strengthened focus on data integration business. In order to further extend its market leadership in data integration, Informatica transitioned its solutions business to systems integration and software application partners. With this realignment in strategy, Informatica has focused resources around its strongest product lines: the market's leading data integration infrastructure and a next-generation business intelligence platform.
  • Acknowledged as industry's leading data integration vendor. The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) issued a survey on data integration highlighting Informatica as the clear market leader, with market share over 200 percent larger than the nearest vendor. Informatica was also named one of the top “10 most influential” companies in the areas of application development and data integration by Computer Business Review alongside industry heavyweights such as Sun, IBM and Microsoft. International Data Corporation also ranked Informatica as the leading vendor in the data movement and replication space for the third-consecutive year.
  • Gained further traction in the business intelligence market. Informatica was positioned in the “Visionary” quadrant in Gartner's August 25, 2003 report, “Magic Quadrants for EBIS/Reporting and BI Platforms, 2H03.” According to a study by Ventana Research, the Informatica PowerAnalyzer business intelligence platform also demonstrated the lowest overall total cost of ownership among leading business intelligence vendors in the most use case scenarios - beating out Cognos, MicroStrategy, Information Builders and Actuate. Finally, Motorola's implementation of Informatica's PowerAnalyzer business intelligence platform beat nominations from other BI vendors for CMP Media's RealWare Award for Best Strategic Business Performance Management solution - recognizing Motorola's “outstanding achievements in innovative IT solutions powered by Informatica products that produce business value.”

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Informatica uses pro forma measures of net income and net income per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain charges and expenses discussed above which we believe are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of our underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. For example, the pro forma results are an indication of our baseline performance before losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, these pro forma results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Informatica will be discussing its third quarter 2003 results on a conference call today beginning at 2:00 p.m. PDT. A live Webcast and replay of the conference call will be available at http://www.informatica.com/investor. A replay of the call will also be available by dialing 888-286-8010, passcode 20124210. The telephone replay will be available until 4:00 p.m. on October 23, 2003.
