WEBMETHODS ANNOUNCES NEW DATE FOR SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2007 EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT

FAIRFAX, Va. – Oct.25, 2006 – webMethods, Inc. (Nasdaq: WEBM), a leading business integration and optimization software company, today announced a change in the date of the earnings announcement for its fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2006. The company will release its results on Thursday, November 2, 2006 and hold a conference call after the market close.

The company has rescheduled its earnings announcement in order to provide additional time to finalize the normal analysis required in order to determine the purchase price allocation and related accounting treatment for its acquisitions of Infravio and Cerebra, which were completed during the second quarter. On October 5, 2006, the company reported preliminary results which did not include the effects of the accounting treatment for these acquisitions. The company expects its final results, excluding the effects of the accounting treatment for the two acquisitions, to be consistent with the preliminary results.
