                                           Acxiom® Announces Third-Quarter Financial Results
                                                   Record Cash Flow Among Highlights



LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - January 21, 2004 - Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced revenue and earnings results for the
third quarter ended December 31, 2003. Revenue and diluted earnings per share were $255.2 million and $.22, respectively. Operating
cash flow of $79.3 million and free cash flow of $59.9 million for the quarter represent record cash flow performances for the
Company.  Acxiom will hold a conference call at 4:30 p.m. CST today to discuss this information further. Interested parties are
invited to listen to the call, which will be broadcast via the Internet at www.acxiom.com.

"Our third-quarter revenue, earnings, cash flow and new-business results are all strong," Company Leader Charles D. Morgan said.
"And with the building momentum of our new Customer Information Infrastructure (CII) grid-based solution architecture we are
establishing a solid foundation for fiscal 2005."

Highlights of Acxiom's third-quarter performance include:

o        Revenue of $255.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $.22, which includes a $3 million distribution from the
         Montgomery Ward bankruptcy and a loss of $1.4 million related to investments.
o        Operating cash flow of $79.3 million and free cash flow of $59.9 million, which are quarterly records for the Company and
         the 10th consecutive quarter of strong cash flow performance.  Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and a
         reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure, operating cash flow, is attached to this release.
o        New contracts that will deliver $49 million in annual revenue and renewals that total $14 million in annual revenue.
o        Committed new deals in the pipeline that are expected to generate $44 million in annual revenue.
o        The acquisition of Claritas Europe was completed effective January 1, 2004.
o        The completion of a long-term, multi-faceted strategic alliance with Accenture that is expected to drive new revenue and
         improve the efficiency of Acxiom's services delivery model.



"Our increased presence in Europe and our new partnership with Accenture represent landmark deals that will help define the future
of Acxiom," Morgan said. "Bringing Claritas Europe's data assets together with Acxiom's proven services expertise creates an
attractive value proposition for the European marketplace.  Similarly, Accenture's strengths and Acxiom's strengths are very
complementary, and combining those strengths should improve bottom-line results for both companies."

Morgan noted that Acxiom expanded its services agreement with JPMorgan Chase in the quarter to include the financial institution's
credit card customer database.  Other contracts were completed with blue-chip clients including Equifax in the United Kingdom and
AutoNation Inc., Bank One Corporation, IMS Health, Marriott Vacation Club International and Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.

Outlook

The financial projections stated today are based on the Company's current expectations. These projections are forward looking, and
actual results may differ materially. These projections do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions,
divestitures or other business combinations that may be completed in the future.

For the fourth quarter of the 2004 fiscal year, the Company expects:

o        Revenue of $265 million to $270 million, which includes the Claritas Europe operations.
o        Earnings per share of $.16 to $.18, which includes the previously announced expected loss of $.02 a share from the Claritas
         Europe operations.
o        Operating cash flow in excess of $40 million and free cash flow in excess of $25 million, which increases the Company's
         fiscal 2004 projection for operating cash flow to more than $220 million and free cash flow to more than $155 million.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005, the Company estimates revenue of $1.14 billion to $1.19 billion and diluted earnings per
share of $.68 to $.70.  The Company estimates that it will generate operating cash flow in excess of $200 million and free cash flow
in excess of $135 million.

This release and the scheduled conference call include a discussion of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure.  There is a
reconciliation of this measure to the comparable GAAP measure, operating cash flow, attached to this press release.

This release and today's conference call contain forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially.  Such statements include but are not necessarily limited to the following: 1) that
the projected revenue, earnings, earnings per share, operating cash flow and free cash flow referred to under the caption "Outlook"
above will meet or exceed the estimated amount; 2) that the business pipeline and that our current cost structure will allow us to
continue to meet or exceed revenue, earnings and cash flow projections; 3) that new contracts and contract renewals will generate the
indicated amounts of revenue; 4)  that we have committed new deals in the pipeline that are expected to deliver the indicated
amounts; 5)  that we are well positioned for success going forward; 6) that future results will be within the indicated ranges; 7)
that new products and services will produce the expected results.

The following are important factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking
statements: The possibility that certain contracts may not be closed, or may not be closed within the anticipated time frames; the
possibility that certain contracts may not generate the anticipated revenue or profitability; the possibility that negative changes
in economic or other conditions might lead to a reduction in demand for our products and services; the possibility that the recovery
from the previous three years' economic slowdown may take longer than expected or that economic conditions in general will not be as
expected; the possibility that significant customers may experience extreme, severe economic difficulty; the possibility that the
fair value of certain of our assets may not be equal to the carrying value of those assets now or in future time periods; the
possibility that sales cycles may lengthen; the possibility that we may not be able to attract and retain qualified technical and
leadership associates, or that we may lose key associates to other organizations; the possibility that we won't be able to properly
motivate our sales force or other associates; the possibility that we won't be able to achieve cost reductions and avoid
unanticipated costs; the possibility that we won't be able to continue to receive credit upon satisfactory terms and conditions; the
possibility that  competent, competitive products, technologies or services will be introduced into the marketplace by other
companies; the possibility that we may be subjected to pricing pressure due to market conditions and/or competitive products and
services; the possibility that there will be changes in consumer or business information industries and markets; the possibility
that we won't be able to protect proprietary information and technology or to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable
terms; the possibility that we may encounter difficulties when entering new markets or industries;  the possibility that there will
be changes in the legislative, accounting, regulatory and consumer environments affecting our business, including but not limited to
litigation, legislation, regulations and customs relating to our ability to collect, manage, aggregate and use data; the possibility
that data suppliers might withdraw data from us, leading to our inability to provide certain products and services; the possibility
that we may enter into short-term contracts which would affect the predictability of our revenues; the possibility that the amount
of ad hoc, volume-based and project work will not be as expected; the possibility that we may experience a loss of data center
capacity or interruption of telecommunication links or power sources; the possibility that postal rates may increase, thereby
leading to reduced volumes of business; the possibility that our clients may cancel or modify their agreements with us; the
possibility that the services of the United States Postal Service, their global counterparts and other delivery systems may be
disrupted; the possibility that the integration of our recently acquired businesses may not be successful; and the possibility that
we may be affected by other competitive factors.

With respect to the provision of products or services outside our primary base of operations in the U.S., all of the above factors
apply, along with the difficulty of doing business in numerous sovereign jurisdictions due to differences in culture, laws and
regulations. Other factors are detailed from time to time in our periodic reports and registration statements filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that we have the product and technology offerings, facilities, associates and
competitive and financial resources for continued business success, but future revenues, costs, margins and profits are all
influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.  We undertake
no obligation to update the information contained in this press release or any other forward-looking statement.
