Commenting on the quarter, Gad Tobaly, Chief Executive Officer of InfoVista, said: “This has been a pivotal quarter in the history of InfoVista, as we achieved our first ever quarterly net income, ahead of our own market guidance. Our teams delivered a solid quarter consistent with our sustainable profitable growth strategy. Each of our three main regions, Europe, America and Asia, posted sharp growth, validating our Go-To-Market strategy. We have won brand new accounts, both in the Service Provider and Enterprise markets. Last but not least, several large existing customers are back in the game, and have been investing in InfoVista solutions to support their new service offering.”

Philippe Ozanian, Chief Financial Officer, added: “Most of our financial indicators – Operating Results, EBITDA, Gross Margin, DSOs – improved significantly in the quarter despite the sharp decline of the US dollar, underscoring our operational discipline.”

Promising Outlook for the second half of FY 2004-05

Looking ahead, Gad Tobaly concluded:

“Our core markets are well and alive and we have entered the second half of our fiscal year with a strong pipeline. We are also positioned to win various large projects in Q3. This quarter, we expect revenues to be in the range of € 9 million to € 9.2 million, representing year-on-year growth of 15%. For the fiscal year as a whole, we expect revenues to pass the € 34.5 million mark, representing year-on-year growth of over 20% despite the sharply reduced value of the US dollar. Thanks to continued discipline in cost-control, our bottom-line profitability should be consistently strengthened quarter after quarter, putting us solidly on track to achieve positive net income for our full fiscal year
