QAD ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2010 FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — March 11, 2010 — QAD Inc. (Nasdaq: QADI), a global provider of enterprise software and services, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter and full year ended January 31, 2010.

Total revenue was $52.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, compared with $58.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. License revenue was $7.1 million, compared with $10.2 million for the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter. As reported previously, the company’s financial results for the quarter were negatively impacted by approximately $5 million related to a number of signed license agreements for which revenue was deferred for accounting purposes. Maintenance and other revenue was $32.4 million, versus $31.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Services revenue was $13.1 million, compared with $16.7 million for last fiscal year’s fourth quarter.

Net income for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 of $19.7 million, or $0.64 per share. Fiscal 2009 fourth quarter net loss included a non-cash goodwill write-down of $14.4 million.

“Sales for the fourth quarter were generally in line with our plan, and we were profitable for the quarter and the year despite the revenue deferrals,” said Karl Lopker, chief executive officer of QAD. “We successfully navigated through a difficult economic environment by improving receivables and generating significant cash flow, which increased our cash balance by $13 million. At the same time, we advanced our product line and partnered with our manufacturing customers to help them deploy our solutions to capture growth opportunities and maximize profitability.”

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 was 60 percent, compared with 52 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, primarily attributable to a decrease in services costs and changes in the company’s overall revenue mix.

Total operating expenses were $29.7 million, or 56 percent of total revenue, for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter. Total operating expenses were $35.8 million, or 61 percent of total revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, excluding the $14.4 million goodwill write-down. Including the write-down, operating expenses for the 2009 fiscal fourth quarter were $50.2 million.

Operating income for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter was $1.9 million, including $0.9 million in stock compensation expense. This compares with an operating loss of $19.5 million, including $1.0 million in stock compensation expense.

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, total revenue was $215.2 million, versus $262.7 million for fiscal 2009.

Operating expenses for fiscal 2010 were $120.7 million, compared with $150.6 million in fiscal 2009, excluding the $14.4 million goodwill write-down.

Operating income for fiscal 2010 was $2.9 million, including $4.6 million in stock compensation expense. Fiscal 2009 operating loss was $23.9 million, including $5.5 million in stock compensation expense. Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for fiscal 2010, compared with a net loss of $23.7 million, or $0.77 per share, for fiscal 2009.

Cash flow provided by operations was $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, versus cash flow used in operations of $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. For the full 2010 fiscal year, cash flow provided by operations was $17.7 million, versus $7.3 million in the prior fiscal year.

QAD’s cash and equivalents balance at January 31, 2010 was $44.7 million, compared with $31.5 million at January 31, 2009. The increase in cash and equivalents was primarily attributable to a significant improvement in cash provided by operations, capital expenditure controls and the finalization of acquisition-related payments in fiscal 2009.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2010 Highlights:

• Received orders from 26 customers representing more than $500,000 each in combined license, support and services billings, including nine orders in excess of $1.0 million and three in excess of $2.0 million;

A number of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

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 2009 ended January 31, 2009.
