Earnings per diluted share were $.11. For the second quarter of fiscal 2003, revenue was $69.3 million with software license fees of $38.2 million, maintenance fees of $19.5 million and services of $11.6 million. The Company's recurring revenue was $42.7 million, or 61.6 percent of revenue, and non-recurring revenue was $26.6 million, or 38.4 percent of revenue. Recurring revenue consists of monthly license fees of $21.9 million, maintenance fees of $19.5 million and facilities management fees of $1.3 million. Operating income was $11.3 million with an operating margin of 16.3 percent. Operating cash flow was $9.3 million with a cash balance as of March 31, 2003 of $91.4 million. Net income for the quarter was $4.1 million or $.11 per diluted share. The Company completed the second quarter of fiscal 2003 with $233.1 million in backlog, consisting of $162.4 million in recurring revenue backlog and $70.7 million in non-recurring revenue backlog. The Company defines recurring revenue backlog to be all monthly license fees, maintenance fees and facilities management fees specified in executed contracts to the extent that the Company believes that recognition of the related revenue will occur within one year. The Company includes in its non-recurring revenue backlog all fees (other than recurring) specified in executed contracts to the extent that the Company believes that recognition of the related revenue will occur within one year. Significant customers signed in the second quarter for ACI Worldwide, the Company's largest business unit, include the following: a U.S. based card processor purchased BASE24-es(TM) and ACI Payments Manager(TM); a top 500 financial institution in Spain selected ACI Proactive Risk Manager(TM) for debit card fraud; a financial institution in Turkey selected ACI Proactive Risk Manager(TM) for credit card and merchant fraud; and a top 500 financial institution in Korea, signed an agreement for NET24(TM), ACI's middleware solution. Additionally, a financial institution in the Netherlands expanded its relationship with TSA through the purchase of BASE24-atm(R). During the quarter, Insession Technologies, the Company's e-infrastructure business unit, added five new customers. Solutions licensed include ICE(TM), a data-communications software solution; Webgate(TM), a web server solution; and Workpoint(R), a business process management solution. IntraNet, the Company's international payments and message processing solutions provider, signed a significant services deal with a leading Belgium financial institution; completed the delivery of a multi-million dollar project with a financial institution in Germany; and continued its customer migration projects to Money Transfer Systems(TM)-AIX, which will position its customers to address new business requirements in the future. "In this difficult environment, we were able to hold our own," said Gregory Derkacht, President and CEO. "We experienced weak demand across all geographic channels. Overall, we were able to deliver solid revenue, EPS and cash flow due to our backlog of contracted business, recurring revenue base and our expense management. Assuming the economy remains challenging in the near term, we will continue to take the appropriate actions to manage our business units by controlling expenses and focusing on our growth initiatives, one of which is our BASE24-es(TM) multi-platform solution." The Company will provide further details regarding its financial performance for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 in its scheduled teleconference to be held Tuesday, April 29, 2003 at 4:00 pm CST.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and include words or phrases such as "management anticipates," "the Company believes," "the Company anticipates," "the Company expects," "the Company plans," "the Company will," and words and phrases of similar impact, and include but are not limited to statements regarding future operations, business strategy and business environment. The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements included in this press release include statements regarding (1) the Company's recurring and non-recurring backlog, and (2) management of our business units in the future by controlling expenses and focusing on growth initiatives. Actual results could differ materially from that contained in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following: o The Company's calculation of backlog is based on customer contracts that exist on the date of the calculation. A number of factors may change after the date of calculation that could result in actual revenues being less than the amounts contained in backlog. The Company's customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts due to a number of factors, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer's industry or geographic location, or the Company may experience delays in the development of products or services specified in customer contracts. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in recurring or non-recurring revenue backlog will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the one-year period. Any or all of the forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many of these factors will be important in determining the Company's actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. These cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, expressly qualify all of the forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release unless applicable securities laws require it to do so.
