QAD ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2011 FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS


SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – March 10, 2011 – QAD Inc. (Nasdaq: QADA, QADB), a leading provider of enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and year ended January 31, 2011.

Total revenue grew 19% to $62.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $52.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  License revenue increased 79% to $12.7 million, versus $7.1 million for the prior year period.  Maintenance and other revenue rose 5% to $33.9 million from $32.4 million for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter.  Services revenue grew 21% to $15.9 million, compared with $13.1 million for last year’s fiscal fourth quarter.

Net income for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter grew to $3.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted Class A share and $0.16 per diluted Class B share, from $685,000, or the equivalent of $0.04 per diluted Class A share and $0.04 per diluted Class B share, for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter.

 “Revenue grew across all of our business lines, most notably in licenses.  This strength in sales, coupled with an ongoing focus on cost management, resulted in a significant bottom line improvement and our most profitable quarter in more than a year,” said Karl Lopker, chief executive officer of QAD.  “During the quarter we benefited from the result of ongoing engagement with our customers.  We are well positioned for growth as our manufacturing customers continue to capitalize on improving economic conditions.”

Gross margin for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter totaled 60 percent, equal to the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter, although the company’s revenue mix changed slightly between periods.

Total operating expenses were $31.8 million, or 51 percent of total revenue, for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter, compared with $29.7 million, or 56 percent of total revenue, for the same period last year.

Operating income for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter equaled $5.5 million, which included $1.1 million in stock compensation expense, compared with $1.9 million, which included $925,000 in stock compensation expense, for the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.

For the full year ended January 31, 2011, total revenue was $220.0 million, compared with $215.2 million for fiscal 2010.  Net income for fiscal 2011 was $3.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted Class A share and $0.21 per diluted Class B share, versus $1.3 million, or the equivalent of $0.09 per diluted Class A share and $0.07 per diluted Class B share, for fiscal 2010.

QAD’s cash and equivalents balance grew to $67.3 million at January 31, 2011 from $44.7 million at the same time last year.  Cash provided by operations was $10.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, versus $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  Cash provided by operations for fiscal 2011 was $26.3 million, compared with $17.7 million last year.

·
Opened registration for Explore 2011 Customer Conference in San Antonio, Texas; and
 
·
Completed recapitalization plan to increase financial flexibility for the company and its shareholders.  As a result of the recapitalization, QAD reclassified each whole share of its common stock as one-tenth of a new share of Class B common stock (QADB), and each share of Class B common stock was paid a dividend of four shares of Class A common (QADA). As of January 31, 2011, we had 12,780,000 Class A shares and 3,182,000 Class B shares outstanding.

Calculation of Earnings Per Share
As a result of the recapitalization, beginning this quarter, our EPS is being reported based on the new share structure, and will include a calculation for both the Class A and Class B shares.  Since Class A shares have rights to 120% of dividends paid on Class B shares, net income is now apportioned so that earnings per share attributable to a Class A share are 120% of earnings per share attributable to a Class B share.  For comparison purposes, prior period earnings per share calculations have been effected so as to incorporate the new capital structure.  Full details of the recapitalization can be found in the related documents we have filed with the SEC and on our website.

Business Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, QAD expects total revenue of approximately $56 million and earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.08 per diluted Class A share and $0.07 per diluted Class B share.

Investor Conference Call
QAD management will host an investor conference call today at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET) to review the company’s financial results and operations for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and year-end.  The conference call will be webcast live and is accessible through the investor relations section of QAD’s Web site at www.qad.com, where it will be available for approximately one year.  Interested parties may participate in the call by dialing 800-553-0351.  A replay of the call will be accessible through March 17 by dialing 800-475-6701, access code 188713.

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, evolving demand for the company's software products and products that operate with the company's products; the company's ability to sustain license and service demand; the company's ability to leverage changes in technology; the company's ability to sustain customer renewal rates at current levels; the publication of opinions by industry and financial analysts about the company, its products and technology; the reliability of estimates of transaction and integration costs and benefits; the entry of new competitors or new offerings by existing competitors and the associated announcement of new products and technological advances by them; delays in localizing the company's products for new or existing markets; the ability to recruit and retain key personnel; delays in sales as a result of lengthy sales cycles; changes in operating expenses, pricing, timing of new product releases, the method of product distribution or product mix; timely and effective integration of newly acquired businesses; general economic conditions; exchange rate fluctuations; and, the global political environment. In addition, revenue and earnings in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software industry are subject to fluctuations. Software license revenue, in particular, is subject to variability with a significant proportion of revenue earned in the last month of each quarter. Given the high margins associated with license revenue, modest fluctuations can have a substantial impact on net income. Investors should not use any one quarter's results as a benchmark for future performance. For a more detailed description of the risk factors associated with the company and the industries in which it operates, please refer to the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010 ended January 31, 2010.
