Tom Johnson, chairman and CEO of Global Imaging Systems, said, “We are very pleased that our employees finished off a record year with another quarter of record performance. This performance also reflects our unwavering focus on customer service, and we thank all our loyal customers for allowing us to share our passion for office productivity.”

He added, “This effort helped us overcome our typical fourth fiscal quarter increase in payroll taxes as we began a new calendar year. We are also encouraged that healthcare costs held level with the previous quarter and with the year-ago quarter. We believe the healthcare plan changes we implemented in January are proving effective.”

Michael Shea, president and COO of Global Imaging Systems, noted, “Fourth quarter revenues in the service side of our business continued on an upward trend, indicating further progress in growing our installed customer base. Our benchmarking model and sharing of best practices continue to be the keys to our own and our customers’ productivity improvements. These management tools help us sustain our discipline, focus and commitment to great customer service.”

Looking forward, Mr. Johnson said, “Our large middle-market opportunity continues to grow, and we have the talent, discipline and financial strength to continue to capture a growing share of the market. Also, our acquisition program’s external growth goal for fiscal year 2007 is to acquire $60 to $100 million in annualized revenue.”

For the fiscal 2007 first quarter, Mr. Johnson said, “Total revenue, including acquisitions to date but not potential additional acquisitions, should grow in the six to nine percent range. We expect our internal revenue growth to be in the range of four to six percent and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of 59 to 63 cents. This would compare with diluted EPS of 58 cents in the corresponding quarter last year. Also in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we will implement the newly required accounting principles of FAS 123(R), ‘Share Based Payment.’ This is expected to negatively impact earnings per share by $0.01, which has been factored into our guidance for the quarter.”

The company’s fiscal year and fourth quarter conference call is scheduled for this morning, May 10, at 10:00 a.m. ET, and the company’s first quarter 2007 conference call is scheduled for August 1, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. ET. You may access the calls through live webcasts by using the link provided on the company’s Internet home page at www.gisx.com.

This press release includes presentations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for the loss on early extinguishment of debt and the one-time impact of accelerating previously unvested stock options. EBITDA is a measure commonly used by the capital markets to value enterprises. Interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can vary significantly between companies due in part to differences in accounting policies, tax strategies, levels of indebtedness and interest rates. Excluding these items provides insight into the underlying results of operations and facilitates comparisons between Global and other companies. EBITDA is also a useful measure of the company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining debt covenant compliance. Management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA information is useful to investors for these reasons. Both EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income and has provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income in this press release.

This news release contains forward-looking statements and statements based on forward-looking information, including statements relating to Global’s expected future acquisitions, future revenue growth and future diluted earnings per share. These statements include the words “expect,” “believe,” “should,” variations of such words, “we are optimistic” and similar expressions which are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are based on numerous assumptions and are subject to uncertainties and risks. Actual results could differ materially. Factors that might cause Global’s results to differ materially include risks relating to changes in the overall economy; rising interest rates; Global’s debt and debt service obligations; the challenge of integrating acquired businesses; the need for funding acquisitions; Global’s ability to close acquisitions in a timely and cost-effective manner; the need for skilled employees; rapid technological change in Global’s industry; dependence on suppliers; and high levels of competition. Most of these risks are discussed in more detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in Global’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005.
