FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MANUGISTICS COMMENTS ON ANALYSTS'
FIRST QUARTER ESTIMATES
Rockville, Md., May 21, 1998 - Manugistics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MANU), today
announced that although revenues for the first quarter ended May 31, 1998, are
anticipated to be substantially higher than the revenues for the same period of
the prior year, Manugistics' management believes revenues and earnings for the
first quarter will not meet security analysts' expectations, and will result in
an operating loss for the first quarter. Management indicates that it is still
too early to accurately estimate final results for the first quarter.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward looking statements that are subject
to risks and uncertainties. There are several important factors that could
affect the Company's performance. Demand for the Company's supply chain
management software products and the Company's quarterly operating results could
be affected by business conditions or the general economy in domestic and
international markets, the timely availability and acceptance of the Company's
products, technological change, the response of prospective customers to
announced or commercially available products or pricing or competitors'
acquisitions or marketing relationships, or the Company's ability to integrate
acquired operations and technologies rapidly and effectively. The Company's
expense levels are based largely on its expectations of further revenues, and if
revenues were to be below expectations, the Company's operating results could be
affected. For further information, please refer to the Company's S-3
Registration Statements or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission which are publicly available, copies of which may also be obtained by
contacting the Company's Investor Relations department at 301-984-5409. The
company assumes no obligation to update the information contained in this press
release.
