QAD ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2012 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – May 26, 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 2012 first quarter ended April 30, 2011.

Total revenue grew 17% to $59.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with $50.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

For the fiscal 2012 first quarter, license revenue totaled $6.3 million, compared with $5.8 million for the fiscal 2011 first quarter.  Maintenance and other revenue was $34.3 million, versus $31.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  Professional services revenue was $16.5 million, compared with $12.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  Subscription revenue, which includes QAD’s on demand deployment option, was $2.2 million, compared with $1.1 million for last fiscal year's first quarter.  For comparative purposes, revenue results by category for the prior year period have been recast to enable the presentation of subscription revenue in that period.

Net income for the fiscal 2012 first quarter grew to $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted Class A share and $0.05 per diluted Class B share, versus a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per Class A share and $0.07 per Class B share, for the fiscal 2011 first quarter.

“The strong revenue result for the fiscal first quarter was driven by our services business.  Subscription based revenue also continued to increase as more manufacturing companies start to take advantage of the software as a service deployment model,” said Karl Lopker, chief executive officer of QAD.  “We believe the combination of a strengthening economy and our competitive position support continued growth throughout the year.”

Gross margin for the fiscal 2012 first quarter totaled 56 percent, compared with 55 percent the fiscal 2011 first quarter.

Total operating expenses were $30.7 million, or 52 percent of total revenue, for the fiscal 2012 first quarter, compared with $30.3 million, or 59 percent of total revenue, for the same period last year.

Operating income for the fiscal 2012 first quarter equaled $2.6 million, which included $1.1 million in stock compensation expense, compared with an operating loss of $2.1 million, which included $1.5 million in stock compensation expense, for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

QAD’s cash and equivalents balance grew to a record $73.4 million at April 30, 2011 from $67.3 million at the end of the last fiscal year.  Cash provided by operations was $5.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, versus $13.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Business Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, QAD expects total revenue of approximately $59.0 million and earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.09 per diluted Class A share and $0.08 per diluted Class B share.

Calculation of Earnings Per Share
As a result of the company’s recapitalization, EPS is being reported based on the new share structure, and includes 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 filed with the SEC and on QAD’s website.

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 2012 first quarter.

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 2011 ended January 31, 2011.
