Lawson Software Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2008 Financial Results Total revenues increase 18 percent year-over-year ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2008--Regulatory News: Lawson Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: LWSN) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2008, which ended Nov. 30, 2007. Lawson reported GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) revenues for the quarter of $218.6 million, up 18 percent from revenues of $184.5 million in its fiscal 2007 second quarter. The company reported double-digit increases in all lines of revenues: license fee revenues increased 50 percent to $33 million, maintenance revenues rose 19 percent to $84.7 million, and consulting revenues rose 10 percent to $100.9 million. Second quarter GAAP net income was $3.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3.5 million, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The year-over-year improvement in net income was primarily attributable to growth in software license and maintenance revenue. These revenue gains were offset by a non-operating permanent impairment charge of $4.2 million recorded in other income to reduce the fair value of auction-rate securities held by the company, which is further described below. This impairment charge impacted net earnings by $0.02 per diluted share. The company estimates currency fluctuations also had a negative impact of $0.01 on net earnings per share. Refer to Table 1 attached to this release for a summary of the impact of currency fluctuation to Lawson's year-over-year performance. Included in the reported GAAP net income and earnings per share results are pre-tax expenses totaling $7.7 million for amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of purchased maintenance contracts, purchase accounting impact on consulting costs and restructuring charges, the $4.2 million permanent impairment charge for auction rate securities and $2.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. Excluding these expenses and including $0.4 million of maintenance and services revenue impacted by purchase accounting adjustments made to the opening deferred revenue balances acquired from the former Intentia International AB, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $15.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share."Our second quarter results show that business was strong in all regions and verticals," said Harry Debes, Lawson president and CEO."While there is always more to be done, we are making excellent progress in our business and that is reflected in our year-over-year growth in revenues and earnings." Six-Months Ended Nov. 30, 2007 GAAP revenues for the six months ended Nov. 30, 2007 were $406 million, up 17 percent from revenues of $346.3 million during the same fiscal 2007 period. GAAP net income was $9.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, improving from a net loss of $19.3 million, or $0.10 per share. The company estimates currency fluctuations had a negative impact of $0.02 on net earnings per diluted share for the six-month period. Included in the reported six-month GAAP results are pre-tax expenses of $19.4 million for amortization of acquired intangible assets, permanent impairment charge for auction rate securities, amortization of purchased maintenance contracts, purchase accounting impact on consulting costs and restructuring charges, and $4.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. Excluding these expenses and including $1 million of maintenance and services revenue impacted by purchase accounting adjustments made to the opening deferred revenuebalances acquired from the former Intentia International AB, non-GAAP net income for the six months ended Nov. 30, 2007, was $28.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. Financial Guidance For the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, which ends Feb. 29, 2008, the company estimates total revenues of $216 million to $220 million, which includes license fee growth of approximately 20 percent over the previous year's comparable period. The company anticipates GAAP fully diluted earnings per share will be $0.03 to $0.04, exclusive of further impairments in auction rate securities. Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share are forecasted to be between $0.07 and $0.08, excluding approximately $9.5 million of pre-tax expenses related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of purchased maintenance contracts and stock-based compensation charges. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for fiscal 2008 is anticipated to be in the range of 37 percent and 40 percent. Second Quarter Fiscal 2008 Key Metrics -- Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and long-term investments at quarter-end were $424.1 million (excluding $7.5 million of restricted cash,) compared to the Aug. 31, 2007, balance of $483.1 million (excluding $7 million of restricted cash). -- Total deferred revenues were $176.5 million, including $36.1 million of deferred license revenues, compared to the Aug. 31, 2007, balance of $236.3 million, including $35.3 million of deferred license revenue. Total deferred revenues declined because of lower deferred maintenance revenue resulting from the company's renewal dates now occurring in the third and fourth quarters. -- Total software license deal activity increased to 331 closed deals, compared to 307 deals in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Average selling price of all deals closed remained relatively constant year-over-year. -- Thirty-eight new customer deals were signed, compared with 27 in the second quarter a year ago. Average selling price of new customer deals was $373,000, compared to $420,000 a year ago. This trend is expected considering the smaller average deal sizes for M3 sales outside of the Americas. -- Two deals greater than $1 million and eight deals between $500,000 and $1 million were signed, compared to three deals greater than $1 million and 13 deals in the $500,000 to $1 million range in the second quarter fiscal 2007. -- The Americas region represented 52 percent of total revenue; Europe, Middle East, and Africa region represented approximately 44 percent of total revenue; and Asia-Pacific represented 4 percent of total revenue. -- Key customer wins: Americas - Children's Hospital Central California; City of Columbus, Ohio; City of Topeka, Kansas; Marsh Supermarkets; Mosaic Sales Solutions; The Nebraska Medical Center; Oldcastle and Scott County Minnesota; EMEA -Boissons Glacieres Internationales; D2i Groupe Invicta; Fletchers Bakeries; and Pork Farms Limited; Asia-Pacific - Kumfs New Zealand; Sheppard Industries Limited; and THK, Japan. -- The company repurchased 331,766 shares of common stock in the second quarter for $3.1 million at an average price of $9.29 per share. Since inception of the $200 million buyback authorization in November 2006, the company has repurchased 12.5 million shares for $111.6 million at an average price of $8.93, representing 6.7 percent of our shares outstanding as of November 2006. Impairment Charge for Auction Rate Securities As of Nov. 30, 2007, the company had a total of $431.6 million in cash and equivalents including $27.6 million in marketable securities and $58.7 million in long-term investments. The company has a long history of investing excess cash under a conservative corporate policy that only allows investments in highly rated investment-grade securities, with preservation of capital and liquidity as primary objectives. The company's long-term investments at Nov. 30, 2007 were held in auction rate securities that are currently rated AA or AAA and are current on all obligations. However, the liquidity and fair value of these securities has been impacted primarily by the uncertainty in the credit markets and these securities' exposure to the financial condition of the bond insurance companies. As a result, the company believed it was prudent to record a permanent impairment charge of $4.2 million as well as a temporary impairment charge of $0.8 million to reduce the value of our auction rate securities to their estimated fair value of $58.7 million as of Nov. 30, 2007, based in part on market information provided by the broker-dealer managing our investments. The permanent impairment charge is recorded as a non-operating loss in other income which impacts GAAP fully diluted earnings by $0.02 per share. The temporary impairment charge of $0.8 million is recorded as an unrealized loss in shareholders' equity. The impairment charges represent future expected capital losses for which the company currently does not have available capital gains to offset. Accordingly, no tax benefits were recorded with this impairment. The company has also classified the auction rate securities as long-term investments at Nov. 30, 2007.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements that contain risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements contain statements of intent, belief or current expectations of Lawson Software and its management. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the potential results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The company is not obligated to update forward-looking statements based on circumstances or events that occur in the future. Risks and uncertainties that may cause such differences include but are not limited to: uncertainties in Lawson's ability to realize synergies and revenue opportunities anticipated from the Intentia International acquisition; uncertainties in the software industry; uncertainties as to when and whether the conditions for the recognition of deferred revenue will be satisfied; increased competition; uncertainty regarding potential future deterioration in the market for auction rate securities which could result in additional permanent impairment charges, global military conflicts; terrorist attacks; pandemics, and any future events in response to these developments; changes in conditions in the company's targeted industries and other risk factors listed in the company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Lawson assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in this press release. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of purchased maintenance contracts, Intentia integration costs, restructuring charges, certain stock-based compensation expenses and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance and consulting contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release. -0- *T LAWSON SOFTWARE, INC.

These non-GAAP results exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia integration costs, and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance and consulting contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release. Lawson Software, Inc.
