QAD ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2007
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Carpinteria, Calif. — March 15, 2007 — QAD Inc. (NASDAQ: QADI), a global provider of enterprise software and services, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter and full year ended January 31, 2007.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, total revenue increased 11% to $66.5 million from $60.1 million in the same period last year. License revenue increased 11% to $19.7 million from $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Maintenance and other revenue increased 4% to $30.9 million from $29.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Services revenue increased 26% to $15.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from $12.6 million in last year’s fourth quarter. The acquisitions of Precision Software Limited and FBO Systems, Inc. contributed approximately $2.4 million to total revenue, including approximately $400,000 in license revenue, $200,000 in maintenance and other revenue and $1.8 million in services revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Net income for the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter was $4.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, including pre-tax stock compensation expense of $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share net of tax, related to the accounting standard requiring expensing of equity compensation under FAS 123R. It should be noted that the tax amounts presented are still subject to revision.

In the comparable period last year, net income was $11.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, including a $10.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, combined tax benefit primarily attributable to the reversal of deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was 61%, slightly lower than 62% in the same period last year, but slightly higher than the 60% gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross margin fluctuations are primarily due to revenue mix.

Total operating expenses were $35.4 million, or 53% of total revenue, in the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, compared with $31.9 million, or 53% of total revenue, in the comparable period last year.

“Our continued focus on providing global manufacturing companies with powerful and flexible enterprise software solutions enabled us to win several competitive and large deals during the quarter,” said Karl Lopker, chief executive officer of QAD. “Our strategy is aimed at enhancing our product offering through a combination of acquisitions and internal development, and has contributed to building our sales funnel while helping our customers achieve excellence in their manufacturing operations.”

In fiscal 2007, QAD reported revenue of $235.6 million, versus $225.5 million for fiscal 2006, an increase of 4%. License revenue was $54.4 million compared with $57.9 million in fiscal 2006. Maintenance and other revenue was $122.7 million versus $117.1 million in fiscal 2006. Services revenue was $58.4 million for the current year versus $50.4 million in fiscal 2006. The previously mentioned acquisitions contributed approximately $3.2 million to total revenue, including approximately

$400,000 in license revenue, $300,000 in maintenance and other revenue and $2.5 million in services revenue in fiscal 2007.

Fiscal 2007 net income was $8.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, including pre-tax stock compensation expense of $5.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share net of tax. Net income in fiscal 2006 was $20.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, including tax benefits of $11.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. As previously mentioned, the fiscal 2007 tax amounts are still subject to revision.

QAD’s cash and equivalents balance at January 31, 2007, was $56.8 million, including $2.6 million in restricted cash. Fiscal 2007 marked the eighth consecutive year of positive annual cash flow from operations for QAD. For the 2007 fiscal year cash flow provided by operations was $18.9 million, versus $28.6 million in fiscal 2006.

Business Outlook
QAD expects fiscal 2008 first quarter revenue of between $58 million and $61 million and earnings in the range of $0.01 to $0.03 per diluted share, depending on the level and mix of revenue. This guidance includes a $0.03 net of tax per diluted share charge for stock compensation expense related to FAS 123R.

QAD anticipates full-year fiscal 2008 revenue of between $254 million and $266 million and earnings in the range of $0.26 to $0.36 per diluted share. This range of earnings includes an estimated $0.12 net of tax per diluted share charge for stock compensation expense related to FAS 123R. QAD assumes an effective tax rate of 30% for fiscal 2008.

The company noted that these projections are subject to various risks, including, among other factors, the environment for information technology investment and other global economic dynamics.

Note to Investors: 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
