SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2006--Ariba(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:ARBA), the leading spend management solutions provider, today announced results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 ended June 30, 2006.

Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 were $73.6 million, as compared to $77.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Software license revenues for the quarter were $6.1 million, as compared to $10.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Subscription and maintenance revenues for the quarter were $31.6 million, as compared to $30.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Within subscription and maintenance revenues, subscription software revenue was $13.3 million for the quarter, as compared to $11.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Services and other revenues for the quarter were $35.9 million, as compared to $37.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005.

“Over the last decade, we have worked closely with companies who had the vision to embrace spend management to change the way business is done globally”

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $31.5 million, or $0.48 per share, as compared to a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 of $288.7 million, or $4.52 per share.

"A year ago, Ariba embarked on an aggressive strategy to shift to an on-demand, subscription-based business model. It's been a significant undertaking on the part of our entire organization. But as evidenced by the growth in our on-demand customer base and subscription software revenue, we are beginning to realize the benefits," said Bob Calderoni, CEO, Ariba. "We expect to see further on-demand growth as we continue to expand our solution set to enable large enterprises to transform their cost structures and businesses through spend management initiatives and reach further into the mid-market to provide companies just getting started in spend management with the technology, expertise and services they need to drive bottom-line results."

(1) To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we
    use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per share, which
    exclude expenses that we believe are helpful in understanding our
    past financial performance and prospects for the future.
    Management uses the non-GAAP financial results as one factor in
    its planning and forecasting of future periods. The non-GAAP
    financial results are presented here with the intent of providing
    additional information about our operating results and trends. We
    believe the non-GAAP measures are useful in that they enable
    investors to compare our results to our performance in periods
    prior to our acquisitions. The presentation of non-GAAP financial
    results is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
    substitute for net income or earnings per share prepared in
    accordance with GAAP. Investors should be aware that non-GAAP
    measures have inherent limitations and should be read only on
    conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in
    accordance with GAAP.

(2) Non-GAAP adjustment represents stock-based compensation associated
    with stock options and restricted shares issued to executive
    officers and employees.

(3) Non-GAAP adjustment represents the amortization of intangible
    assets in connection with our acquisitions.

(4) Non-GAAP adjustment primarily reflects adjustments to lease
    abandonments and severance and related benefits.

(5) Non-GAAP adjustment represents the impairment of Goodwill.
