CARREKER CORPORATION REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2003 RESULTS

Conference Call Scheduled for June 3 at 5:00 p.m. ET

     DALLAS (June 3, 2003) -- Carreker Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI), a leading provider of payments technology and consulting solutions for the financial services industry, today reports revenues of $28.3 million for the first quarter ended April 30, 2003, compared with $28.5 million in the fourth quarter fiscal 2002 and $43.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

     The Company reported a net loss of $3.0 million or $0.13 per share for the first quarter fiscal 2003, which compares with a net loss of $52.2 million or $2.22 per share in the fourth quarter fiscal 2002, and net income of $9.7 million or $0.43 per share in the year-ago quarter.

     “As we stated last month, we expected Q1 to be the weakest quarter of the year,” said J.D. (Denny) Carreker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Carreker Corporation. Now, with that behind us, we expect to return to profitability beginning with our second quarter results. 2003 is a year of investing in our product roadmap to drive future organic growth. While revenues for the year will be lower than 2002, we expect to be profitable and generate positive operating cash flow for the year.”
