Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar in international markets can have a significant impact on the Company's financial results.  The Company estimates for the quarter that the weakening of the U.S. dollar in its international markets, primarily in Europe, positively impacted revenue by 2.0%, increased operating expenses by 1.6%, and increased its quarterly net income by approximately $0.02 per diluted share in comparison to the third quarter of 2005.  The Company estimates that the weakening of the U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2006 as compared with the second quarter of 2006 positively impacted revenue by 0.5%, increased operating expenses by 0.4%, and increased its quarterly net income by approximately $0.01 per diluted share.  The Company estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 that the strengthening of the U.S. dollar negatively impacted revenue by 0.3%, reduced operating expenses by 0.5%, and increased its net income by approximately $0.01 per diluted share in comparison to the same period of 2005.

SG&I revenue for the quarter was $102.0 million, a decrease of 5.4% from the third quarter of 2005 and a sequential increase of 1.9% from the second quarter of 2006.  Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $294.4 million, a decrease of 5.2% from the same period of 2005.  The year-over-year revenue declines were primarily driven by lower U.S. Federal services revenue and reduced distributor sales mainly related to a large international photogrammetric order in the second and third quarters of 2005.  The sequential increase in revenue from the second quarter of 2006 is due to increased hardware sales to the U.S. Federal and Canadian governments, growth in maintenance revenue particularly in Europe and increased public safety revenue in the United States.  Operating income for the quarter was $10.5 million, or 10.3% of revenue, compared to $2.1 million, or 1.9% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2005 and $6.1 million, or 6.1% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2006.  Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $20.3 million, or 6.9% of revenue, compared to $14.9 million, or 4.8% of revenue, for the same period of 2005.  SG&I did not report a restructuring charge in the third quarter and reported restructuring charges of $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 related to the organizational realignment completed in the second quarter of 2006.  Operating income before restructuring (a non-GAAP measure) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $26.1 million, or 8.9% of revenue, compared to $22.2 million, or 7.2% of revenue, for the same period of 2005.  The increases in operating income were driven by improved gross margins mainly due to improvements in revenue mix and reduced operating expenses primarily resulting from the restructuring actions taken in 2005 and 2006.  The sequential increase in operating income also reflects the revenue growth from the second quarter of 2006.  SG&I generated third quarter orders of $113.5 million, compared to $97.2 million in the third quarter of 2005 and $85.2 million in the second quarter of 2006.  Orders growth in the third quarter was primarily driven by sales of services and hardware to the U.S. Federal government.  SG&I ending backlog was $250.8 million, an increase of 27.2% from the $197.1 million reported at the end of the third quarter of 2005 and an increase of 17.5% from the $213.4 million reported at the end of the second quarter of 2006.

PP&M revenue for the quarter was $55.4 million, an increase of 32.0% from the third quarter of 2005 and a sequential increase of 4.0% from the second quarter of 2006.  Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $155.5 million, an increase of 28.4% from the same period of 2005.  The year-over-year and sequential increases in revenue were primarily due to growth in PP&M's core plant design software, the adoption of PP&M's new SmartPlant Enterprise technology (particularly SmartPlant 3D and SmartPlant Foundation), and the increasing maintenance and services revenue generated by these products.  PP&M has experienced strong demand across products and geographies, particularly in Asia and Canada.  Operating income for the quarter was $15.5 million, or 28.0% of revenue, compared to $9.0 million, or 21.3% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2005 and $14.1 million, or 26.4% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2006.  Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $40.1 million, or 25.8% of revenue, compared to $22.7 million, or 18.7% of revenue, for the same period of 2005.  The increases in operating income were mainly driven by revenue growth, partially offset by higher operating expenses primarily in sales and marketing.

Intellectual Property
The Company possesses an intellectual property (IP) portfolio, which it protects through licensing and litigation.  All income and expenses associated with the IP portfolio, including legal expenses, are classified and reported in the Other Income (Expense), net section of the income statement.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Intergraph reported $23.7 million of pre-tax intellectual property income, net of all fees and expenses, compared to $136.1 million in the same period of 2005.  As a technology company, Intergraph will continue to consider various licensing and litigation strategies to protect and defend its intellectual capital.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its financial statements, which are prepared on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, Intergraph reports operating income before restructuring charges; operating margin before restructuring charges; operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); and operating EBITDA before restructuring charges.  The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with additional information to evaluate the Company's past financial results and ongoing operational performance.  The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are indications of its operating performance.  The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not necessarily be comparable to those of other companies.

Conference Call and Webcast
Due to the pending acquisition by an investor group led by Hellman & Friedman LLC and Texas Pacific Group in a transaction valued at approximately $1.3 billion, the Company will not host a conference call relating to the financial results for its third quarter ending September 30, 2006.
