    WAYLAND, Mass.--April 18, 2002--Moldflow Corporation , the world leader in software solutions for optimizing the design and manufacture of plastic products, today announced the results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2002. Revenue of $9.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 was up sequentially from the second fiscal quarter by 3% and down 15% from the corresponding quarter of fiscal 2001.
    Pro forma net income for the third quarter of $612,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, was up sequentially from the second fiscal quarter by 76%. Pro forma net income for the same quarter of the prior year was $1.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Pro forma net income excludes non-cash amortization expense of intangible assets.
    The Company's reported net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 of $502,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, during the same quarter of fiscal 2001.
    Product revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 were $5.0 million, up sequentially from the second quarter of fiscal 2002 by 2%. Revenues from Manufacturing Solutions products represented 16% of total product revenues, while revenues from Design Solutions products accounted for 84% of total product revenues. Services revenue, primarily comprised of revenues from maintenance and support contracts, increased by 5% sequentially from the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to $4.4 million. On a regional basis, revenues in Europe represented 34% of Moldflow's total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2002, while revenues in the North America and Asia Pacific regions each represented 33%.
    During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, Moldflow generated $1.4 million in cash from operations and invested $298,000 in capital asset additions. As of March 30, 2002, the Company had $49.3 million in cash and marketable securities and no long-term debt.
    The Company had a total of 283 employees at March 30, 2002, of which 43 were sales representatives, 85 were in research and development, and the remainder were employed in sales management, marketing, customer support, and general and administrative functions.
    Moldflow's financial results included sales to companies across diverse industries and geographies, including sales to customers in the automotive, medical, electronics, consumer goods, material supplier and molding industries. Orders were received during the quarter from notable customers such as Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific, Canon, Corning Diagnostics, Daimler Chrysler, Dow Corning, Electrolux, Emerson Electronics, Fuji, Hella, Hitachi, Intralox, Intersurgical Ltd., Kirby, Nokia, Suzuki Motor Corporation, 3M, Tyco, Ticona, Toyo Roki and Whirlpool Ltd. In total, 122 new customers were added during the quarter.
    Marc Dulude, Moldflow's chairman and CEO, said, "Moldflow grew its revenue sequentially, our leading market position remains very strong, and we are not experiencing any additional competitive pressures. However, manufacturing spending remains weak and the production indicators we track show continued downward pressure in the injection molding market. We have remained profitable during the last year because we reduced spending when our visibility did not show a return to historic growth rates. Since the recovery in corporate spending is not developing as quickly as expected, we are taking additional actions to reduce our spending and maintain strong profitability."
    Dulude continued, "These actions will include an immediate reduction in our staffing levels of almost 15% and further reductions in our operating costs. We realize this reduction in force may be occurring shortly before a recovery but we do not see sufficient evidence to support this view and we recognize that ensuring profitability during these difficult times is the duty of responsible management. It is our intention to stay focused on the products and services that will benefit the markets we serve both now and well into the future and we are convinced that our product and distribution strategy is correct. We firmly believe a recovery will begin and we are maximizing Moldflow's operating leverage during such a recovery."

    Business Outlook

    Based on current visibility, Moldflow expects revenues for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002 to be approximately $9.0 million and to achieve total revenues of approximately $35.8 million for fiscal year 2002. Fiscal fourth quarter pro forma earnings per share, which excludes non-cash amortization expense and non-recurring gains and charges, is expected to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.05.
    Management expects that the restructuring actions to be taken in the fourth fiscal quarter will result in a reduction in annual operating expenses of approximately $4.0 million from current operating levels. The Company expects to record a non-recurring charge of up to $1.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter representing costs in connection with the restructure, including costs related to the reduction in workforce and lease terminations.
