TABLE OF CONTENTS

Exhibit 99.1

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On October 18, 2004, JDA Software Group, Inc. (“JDA”) announced its final financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 by issuing a press release and on the same date, held a related conference call to discuss these results. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit No. 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The press release and the conference call contain forward-looking statements regarding JDA and include cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

     The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

     JDA provides a non-GAAP measure of adjusted operating income and earnings per share in the attached press release. The presentation is intended to be a supplemental measure of performance and typically excludes non-cash charges such as amortization of intangibles, and certain non-recurring charges that impact the comparability of one quarter to another, or the comparability of JDA’s performance to another company that is providing this type of supplemental information. The presentation is not intended to replace or to be displayed more prominently than our GAAP measurement of operating income and earnings per share. We have provided clear, concise disclosure to enable investors to reconcile the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP.
