Acxiom Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Results

Sequential Improvement in All Industry Groups

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — October 28, 2009 — Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM), a global leader in interactive marketing, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 ended September 30, 2009. Acxiom will hold a conference call at 4:30 p.m. CDT today to further discuss this information. Interested parties are invited to listen to the call, which will be broadcast via the Internet at www.acxiom.com.

John Meyer, Acxiom’s chief executive officer and president, said, “The September quarter was another challenging period for us versus the prior-year quarter, but we are beginning to see signs of progress in the business. Our revenue and operating income results improved in the September quarter over the June quarter. In addition, several of our clients have indicated to us that they expect to increase their marketing spending during the second half of our fiscal year. This anticipated increase in client spending coupled with our continued emphasis on expense management gives us confidence that our second half operating income performance will improve over the first half of the fiscal year.”

Second Quarter 2010 Highlights:

Earnings per diluted share of $0.12 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.18 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, before the effect of unusual gain items. GAAP diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period were $0.20, which included $0.02 in unusual gain items.

Income from operations of $21.2 million in the current year second quarter, compared to income from operations of $31.9 million in the second quarter last year, before the effect of unusual items. The prior year GAAP income from operations was $34.3 million, which included unusual gain items of $2.4 million.

Revenue of $271.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $307.4 million, excluding an Information Products pass-through contract, in the second quarter a year ago. GAAP revenue in the prior period was $328.9 million, which included pass-through revenue from the Information Products contract of approximately $21.5 million. This contract was modified in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, and the company no longer recognizes pass-through revenue from this contract.

·	Operating cash flow of $60.7 million compared to $86.8 million in the second quarter a year ago.

Free cash flow available to equity of $29.4 million, compared to $71.6 million in the second quarter a year ago. The prior-year amount included $24.2 million of proceeds received from the sale of company-owned real estate. Free cash flow available to equity is a non-GAAP financial measure; a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure, operating cash flow, is attached to this news release.

Operational Highlights:

·	Information Services: Revenue for the quarter was $210.2 million, compared to $233.6 million in the second quarter of the previous year. Income from operations for the quarter was $20.0 million, compared to $28.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Information Products: Revenue for the quarter was $60.9 million, compared with $73.8 million, excluding the pass-through revenue from the Information Products contract referenced above, in the second quarter a year ago. GAAP revenue in the prior period was $95.3 million, which included revenue from the Information Products pass-through contract of approximately $21.5 million. This contract was modified in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, and the company no longer recognizes pass-through revenue from this contract. Income from operations for the quarter was $1.2 million, compared to income from operations of $3.4 million in the second quarter of the previous year.

Income from operations includes expenses that had previously been included in corporate and other expenses. The Company now allocates selling, general and administrative expenses previously included in corporate and other expenses to the two operating segments, Information Services and Information Products. Prior-year results have been reclassified to reflect the change.

Fiscal Year 2010 Year-To-Date Highlights:

Earnings per diluted share of $0.17 for the current year six-month period compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.31 in the comparable six-month period last year, before the effect of unusual gain items.

Forward Looking Statements

This release and today’s conference call may contain forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements regarding the anticipated increase in client spending during the second half of our fiscal year. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. The following are factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements: the possibility that certain contracts may not generate the anticipated revenue or profitability or may not be closed within the anticipated time frames; the possibility that significant customers may experience extreme, severe economic difficulty

or otherwise reduce the amount of business they do with us; the possibility that we will not successfully complete customer contract requirements on time or meet the service levels specified in the contracts, which may result in contract penalties or lost revenue; the possibility that we may not be able to attract, retain or motivate qualified technical, sales and leadership associates, or that we may lose key associates to other organizations; the possibility that we will not be able to continue to receive credit upon satisfactory terms and conditions; the possibility that negative changes in economic conditions in general or other conditions might lead to a reduction in demand for our products and services; the possibility that there will be changes in consumer or business information industries and markets that negatively impact the company; the possibility that the historical seasonality of our business may change; the possibility that we will not be able to achieve cost reductions and avoid unanticipated costs; 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 changes in accounting pronouncements may occur and may impact these forward-looking statements; the possibility that we may encounter difficulties when entering new markets or industries; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual report on Form 10-K, particularly the discussion under the caption “Item 1A, RISK FACTORS” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2009.

With respect to the provision of products or services outside our primary base of operations in the United States, all of the above factors apply, along with the difficulty of doing business in numerous sovereign jurisdictions due to differences in scale, competition, culture, laws and regulations.

We undertake no obligation to update the information contained in this press release or any other forward-looking statement.
