NetManage Reports First Quarter 2006 Financial Results

CUPERTINO, Calif.--April 24, 2006--NetManage, Inc. , a leading software company that provides solutions for integrating, Web enabling and accessing enterprise information systems, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Net revenues for the first quarter of 2006 were $8.5 million, compared to net revenues of $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. Net loss for the first quarter was $754,000, or $0.08 per diluted share including non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $127,000 reflecting the adoption of FAS 123(R). This compares with a net income of $808,000, or $0.08 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2005.

During the quarter, cash, cash equivalents and investments increased $2.6 million, to $25.7 million at March 31, 2006.

Management Commentary

"While the first quarter is always challenging for our industry, this was a disappointing quarter for NetManage with a larger than anticipated number of customers delaying the purchase of software," said Zvi Alon, chairman, president and CEO of NetManage. "Given that several deals that slipped from the first quarter of 2006 have already closed, we do not believe this is indicative of customer behavior for the year. We are monitoring customer buying patterns closely and are focused on accelerating the growth of our sales pipeline. This quarter we continued to successfully add new OnWeb and Librados customers and increased our cash position to $25.7 million. We are concentrated on achieving both revenue growth and profitability in 2006."

Customer Wins

During the quarter, the Company received new and renewed business from such customers as World Savings, Sallie Mae, Mac steel, CBS, Venetian Casino, Bally Total Fitness, U.S. Census Bureau, San Francisco General Hospital, Viacom, Siemens, and Palm Beach County among others.

Recent Operational Highlights

-- The company hired Avi Schlank, who brings over 29 years of business development and product marketing experience, as Vice President of Strategic Partner Business Development to advance new strategic ventures and opportunities.

-- IBM ServerProven Status was granted to OnWeb for iSeries -- signifying that OnWeb for iSeries has been certified by IBM on IBM eServer platforms and by customers in real-world production environments.

-- NetManage added a number of enhancements to its Librados integration adapters for BEA, SAP, Oracle, and Siebel.

-- The company partnered with JBoss to deliver a "SAP Integration made simple" Webinar, which showed IT executives how they could combine the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite with Librados Integration adapters to directly access information and transactions from ERP systems.
