Epicor^® Reports First Quarter 2006 Earnings

Company Reiterates Full-Year 2006 Revenue and Non-GAAP EPS Guidance

IRVINE, Calif., April 26, 2006 — Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of enterprise software solutions, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. All results should be considered preliminary pending the Company’s filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q later next month.

Operating Summary

Total revenues for the first quarter were a record $84.5 million, compared with $66.8 million in the prior year’s quarter, representing growth of 26.5%. Excluding contributions from CRS Retail Systems Inc., which was acquired on December 6, 2005, total revenues were $69.5 million, representing growth of 4.0%. License fees were $19.3 million for the first quarter compared to $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2005, up 23.2%. Excluding contributions by CRS, license fees were $15.3 million, representing a 2.7% decline. Consulting revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was $25.0 million compared with $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2005, up 47.5%. Excluding CRS, consulting revenue increased $3.2 million, up 18.7%. Maintenance, hardware and other revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was $40.2 million compared with $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, up 17.6%. Excluding CRS, maintenance, hardware and other revenue decreased $0.1 million.

For the first quarter, the Company reported GAAP net income of $4.6 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $5.7 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year’s period. For the first quarter of 2006, non-GAAP earnings were $8.0 million or $0.14 per diluted share compared with non-GAAP earnings of $9.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the same period last year, down 12.5%. For comparative purposes, first quarter 2005 pro forma fully taxed non-GAAP EPS was $0.11 per diluted share. Non-GAAP earnings per share growth when fully taxed numbers are compared was 30.1%. Non-GAAP earnings exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring charges, all net of tax.

“During the first quarter, we successfully concluded a number of important company initiatives including an accounting review of revenue recognition and related restatement and the completion of a $200 million senior secured bank facility. In addition, we also made significant progress in the integration of the recently acquired CRS Retail Systems business, which has proceeded better than expected,” said George Klaus, chairman and CEO of Epicor. “These initiatives required a significant amount of our management team’s attention and contributed in part to lower than expected organic revenue growth for the quarter. Despite first quarter seasonal weakness, we are pleased to note that we were able to keep operating expenses in-check, which enabled us to achieve our internal non-GAAP EPS projection of $0.14 per diluted share, in-line with Street consensus estimates.”

“Looking forward, we remain very optimistic on the Company’s outlook for 2006 and beyond. Strength in our core business, excellent results from the CRS acquisition and the financial flexibility from our strong balance sheet give us confidence in our ability to achieve our operating plan and growth objectives for 2006. As a result, we are re-affirming our full year 2006 consolidated revenue guidance of $372 to $377 million, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.69 to $0.70 per diluted share.”

Balance Sheet Summary

The Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2006 included cash and cash equivalents of $51.4 million. In addition, on March 31, 2006, the Company announced the completion of a $200 million senior secured bank facility, consisting of a $100 million term loan and a $100 million revolving credit facility. The proceeds were used to refinance Epicor’s existing $125 million revolving credit line, which had principally been used to finance its recent acquisition of CRS Retail Systems, Inc. The Company’s total debt balance as of March 31, 2006 was $122.3

million. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, a $5.0 million payment was made, reducing the current outstanding balance to $117.3 million . As previously announced, in conjunction with this bank facility, the Company recently received credit ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. Standard & Poor’s assigned a ‘B+’ corporate credit rating with a ‘positive’ outlook while Moody’s assigned a ‘B1’ corporate family rating with a ‘stable’ outlook.

Commenting on the Company’s liquidity position, Michael Piraino, Executive Vice President and CFO of Epicor said, “We are delighted to have obtained the new term loan and revolving line of credit, which significantly enhances the Company’s financial flexibility. This, coupled with our strong cash flow from operations, positions Epicor to continue to capitalize on growth initiatives and expanding our position as a leading global provider of enterprise software solutions to the midmarket. “

At quarter-end, net accounts receivable was $65.7 million and deferred revenue was $62.5 million. Days sales outstanding (DSOs) were 70, up slightly from 68 in the fourth quarter 2005. Working capital increased to $29.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2006 from $23.9 million at the end of 2005.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2006 Guidance

The Company expects total revenues for the second quarter to be approximately $94 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the second quarter 2006 is expected to be $0.10 with non-GAAP earnings, as described above, per diluted share of $0.18, in each case using a weighted average share count of approximately 57 million shares.

The Company continues to expect 2006 full-year revenues to be in the range of $372 to $377 million. The Company continues to expect fully taxed non-GAAP earnings for 2006 to be in the range of $40 to $41 million, with non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.69 to $0.70 per diluted share. Full year non-GAAP earnings per share expectations assume a weighted average share count of 58 million shares. Expected earnings results presume an effective tax rate of approximately 38.0%. As a benchmark, 2005 pro forma fully taxed non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.57.
