Weldom Selects Manhattan Associates' Distributed Order Management, Extended Enterprise Management

Global supply chain optimisation provider Manhattan Associates (Nasdaq:MANH) today announced that the purchasing and procurement arm of Weldom, the home improvement brand, has selected several components of the Manhattan SCOPE(tm) (Supply Chain Optimisation -- Planning through Execution) solutions portfolio to support its international distribution infrastructure. The Adeo Group subsidiary has already initiated the project that will result in Manhattan's Distributed Order Management, Extended Enterprise Management and Warehouse Management solutions being rolled out across Weldom's entire supply network.

Weldom is deploying Manhattan's Warehouse Management (WM) solution across its distribution centre (DC) network in France. Initially, the solution will be installed at two national distribution centres (NDCs) at Breuil le Sec and Bruyeres, both near Paris. The first (53,000 square metres) is managed by Weldom, while the second (30,000 square metres) is run in conjunction with global logistics services provider (LSP) ID Logistics. The solution will subsequently be rolled out to six regional distribution centres (RDCs) located throughout France.

Once all eight DCs are live with WM, Weldom will implement Manhattan's Distributed Order Management (DOM) solution to provide its supply chain management team with a global view of inventory across its DC network to improve order sourcing, aggregation and prioritisation. In parallel to the WM roll-out, Weldom is also implementing Manhattan's collaborative commerce solution, Extended Enterprise Management, and expects to gain operational connectivity improvements with its suppliers across Europe and Asia.

With 300 stores averaging a floor space of 1,800 square metres and each serving the particular needs of a local customer base, Weldom needed a functionally advanced and versatile supply chain technology platform. More specifically, the company needed a range of integrated and easy-to-maintain solutions that would provide the necessary level of visibility it required across its distribution network to allow it to effectively control the overall performance of its supply chain. "We needed a new systems capability that would enable us to achieve a complete and clear view of our supply chain, allowing us to optimise the flow of goods through our distribution network, from our suppliers, through our DC network, and to our stores," underlines Franck Deboise, logistics director at Weldom. "We selected Manhattan on the strength of its footprint and depth of its solutions' functionality," continued Franck Deboise.

The fully integrated supply chain solutions platform will be further enhanced by complementary technology in the warehouse, in the form of voice-recognition technology from Vocollect that will provide further opportunities to enhance the overall efficiency of the company's DC operations.

"Dealing with complexity is one of the biggest challenges facing today's supply chain practitioners," said Henri Seroux, managing director of Manhattan Associates. "Aided by our solutions -- some of the world's most advanced supply chain technologies -- companies like Weldom can reduce such complexity. By harnessing the power of the solutions to improve connectivity with their suppliers, they and their trading partners can gain an operational advantage and better compete as a unified supply chain. We're naturally delighted that a number of Manhattan's solutions have been selected to help Weldom achieve its goals and we look forward to working with all of the companies that make up Weldom's supply chain ecosystem."

Weldom is a leading home improvement brand with a network of 300 stores throughout France and the French Caribbean. It is part of Adeo Group, which, through its different business units, services customers throughout Europe and the rest of the world with solutions for the improvement of their homes and surrounding environment.

Donaldson Doubles DC Velocity and Approaches 100 Percent Order Accuracy With Manhattan Associates -

Donaldson Company Inc., (NYSE:DCI) the leading global manufacturer of filtration systems and replacement parts, has implemented the Warehouse Management System (WMS) of global supply chain optimisation provider Manhattan Associates (Nasdaq:MANH) to support its new European Distribution Centre (EDC) in Bruges, Belgium.

With a long history of relying on third parties to fulfil customer orders across Europe, Donaldson decided to in-source its distribution centre operations to achieve more control over shipments and lead times, manage its operations more efficiently and improve communications with customers.

Management selected a site in Bruges as the most suitable location for the company's new European Distribution Centre (EDC) and so set about the task of converting a former industrial facility into a modern distribution centre in just a short period of time, without compromising on lead-times or customer service levels. The creation of a modern EDC was critically dependent on the technological infrastructure that would support it, and so Donaldson selected Manhattan Associates' WMS.

Donaldson's project team led the design, configuration and implementation, with support provided by a project manager and consultant from Manhattan Associates. This approach made it possible to convert the site into a state of the art EDC in just seven months.

"Manhattan's Warehouse Management System was easy to implement and has an easy to use interface," says Peter Gobel, DC manager at Donaldson's Bruges facility. "These attributes were critical since there was not much time to get the system up and running."

With the Manhattan WMS, the EDC operates with 25 percent fewer personnel than was required under the outsourced arrangement, and goods are flowing through the facility in less than half the time taken previously. Voice-directed picking facilitated by the integration of Manhattan's technology with Vocollect Voice(r) has streamlined activities on the warehouse floor and made warehouse procedures much clearer, resulting in fewer errors and improved productivity. After system go-live, shipment accuracy increased to 99.8 percent.

"The mission of our EDC is to increase customer satisfaction through cost effective distribution of Donaldson products," says Jan Peeters, European logistics manager. "Thanks to Manhattan Associates, we now have a supply chain technology platform that has really helped us to achieve this objective."

Steve Smith, senior vice president at Manhattan Associates commented, "We're confident our solutions will give Donaldson a clear competitive advantage in their European fulfilment capability and are delighted to see they've already achieved some impressive results with their new Manhattan-supported operation. This is a great example of how it's possible to meet both IT and logistics-specific objectives while quickly delivering tangible business benefits. We look forward to developing our relationship with Donaldson as the company continues to grow."

CYBRA's EdgeMagic Replaces IBM RFID Software Solution at Shop-Vac - Zibb.com

CYBRA Corporation (OTCBB: CYRP), the developer of award-winning MarkMagic(TM) Bar Code Labels, RFID Tags, and Electronic Forms Software for IBM Power Systems (formerly known as System i), today announced that Shop-Vac(R) Corporation, a Walmart top 600 vendor, has successfully deployed its EdgeMagic(R) RFID Control Software for IBM Power Systems at its Williamsport, Pennsylvania, manufacturing location and is currently in testing. Shop-Vac Corporation, the recognized world leader in wet/dry vacuum cleaners, replaced an IBM WebSphere RFID Premises Server installation and selected EdgeMagic to track cases of vacuum cleaners and accessories destined for End Caps and other special point of sale programs of its trading partners such as Walmart.

Customer Preferred Native RFID Solution

According to Mike McConnell, Programmer Analyst at Shop-Vac, "When we first investigated RFID for EPC compliance there was no native IBM System i solution on the market. As a result we installed IBM WebSphere RFID Premises Server which does not run on the IBM midrange server. When I learned of CYBRA's native solution I became convinced that EdgeMagic offered Shop-Vac a more fully functional System i implementation. We run Infor BPCS and Manhattan Associates Transportation Execution products on the IBM System i and EdgeMagic interfaces directly with these products. The EdgeMagic product supports Alien fixed readers, Symbol mobile readers, and Zebra RFID printers, the same hardware as WebSphere RFID Premises Server so by replacing the IBM product with the CYBRA product we gained a significant amount of flexibility particularly with regard to System i application software integration. EdgeMagic allows my team to add new functions with ease."

According to Harold Brand, CEO of CYBRA, "EdgeMagic seamlessly integrates RFID technology with the core IBM Power Systems business applications that run the bread and butter of manufacturing and distribution worldwide. Moreover, it is the framework for turning process data into real time, actionable business information at the point of activity."

Brand continues: "CYBRA recently conducted a survey of more than 500 System i shops to learn of their plans for RFID. When asked, 'On which computing platform would you prefer RFID systems to be based?' the response was 63% for System i and only 16% for Windows. Of customers who run their WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) on the System i, the numbers are dramatic: only 10% of System i WMS customers prefer to run their RFID systems on a Windows, Linux, or Unix platform, while 79% prefer the System i."

Brand concludes: "System i customers overwhelmingly prefer the System i to PC for RFID for obvious reasons. The things that the System i excels at: generating EPC codes, printing RFID smart labels, generating manifests, defining business rules, and storing configurations are easier to manage on the System i because that's where the order and product information is. Add the System i's superior high availability, security, simplified systems management, and server consolidation, and long time System i customers see RFID as a business application that needs to be hosted on the same platform. Shop-Vac recognized this value and replaced the IBM WebSphere RFID Premises Server with EdgeMagic precisely because it runs on the IBM System i server."

About CYBRA

CYBRA Corporation is a world leader in bar code and RFID technology for IBM midrange systems. An IBM Business Partner and Motorola/Symbol Partner, CYBRA is represented by a network of value added resellers throughout the United States and has international sales and support offices.

MarkMagic(TM) Bar Code Labels, RFID Tags and Forms Software is used by thousands of AS/400 and System i customers worldwide, and has been selected as the bar code print engine of such leading System i software developers as Manhattan Associates(TM), Infor(TM) and VAI(TM).

CYBRA's latest product, EdgeMagic(TM) is the only integrated RFID control solution for the IBM System i, but is not only for the System i. EdgeMagic helps customers comply with the full range of RFID mandates as well as closed loop RFID applications.

Manhattan Associates Reports Third Quarter 2008 Revenue and Earnings - Zibb.com

Leading supply chain optimization provider Manhattan Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq:MANH) today reported third quarter 2008 Earnings Per Share (EPS) in line with adjusted guidance previously issued for the quarter. The Company also revised its Earnings Per Share guidance for the full year after recalibrating its outlook on market demand for the fourth quarter of 2008 based on challenging global economic conditions.

The Company's third quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.34, equal to the same metric in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, and at the low end of the Company's previously issued guidance range of $0.34 to $0.42 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.18, a 38% decrease over the third quarter of 2007, on overall revenue of $82.7 million, which was down 2% from overall revenue posted in the third quarter of 2007.

Manhattan Associates President and CEO Pete Sinisgalli commented, "Due to downward pressure on economies worldwide, we saw a significant number of software license deals we expected to close in the third quarter slip to the fourth quarter, and possibly later. The silver lining in this challenging time is that our competitive win rate remains strong, and as the capital markets return to healthier levels, we are well positioned to win a greater share of business."

"Our current market outlook assumes that market pressures similar to those in the third quarter continue through the fourth quarter," Sinisgalli added. "We therefore have recalibrated our full-year 2008 Adjusted Earnings Per Share guidance to a range of $1.36 to $1.46, representing growth of between 5% and 12% over 2007 full-year Earnings Per Share."

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY:

Summarized results for the 2008 third quarter, as compared to the 2007 third quarter, follow:

Earnings Per Share



 * Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, remained
   unchanged at $0.34 per share for each of the quarters ended
   September 30, 2008 and 2007.
 * GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 38% to $0.18 per share,
   which includes the impact of asset write-downs and the release of
   tax contingency reserves due to expiring tax audit statutes for
   2004 and prior years.

Revenue



 * Consolidated revenue decreased 2% to $82.7 million. Currency
   changes during the quarter did not significantly impact total
   revenue.
     - License revenue decreased 20%, to $13.8 million.
     - Services revenue totaled $60.0 million, increasing 3%.

Operating Income



 * GAAP Operating income decreased 69% to $3.2 million, which includes
   $5.2 million in asset write-downs for a technology investment and
   an auction-rate security investment.  Excluding the impact of
   currency changes, GAAP operating income decreased 75%.
 * Operating income, on a non-GAAP basis, decreased 17% to $10.6
   million. Excluding the impact of currency changes, operating income
   on a non-GAAP basis decreased 21%.

Cash



 * Cash Flow from Operations was a record $18.4 million, increasing
   190% over the third quarter of 2007, with Days Sales Outstanding of
   79 days.
 * Cash and Investments on hand at September 30, 2008 was $82.8
   million.

Common Share Repurchase



 * The Company repurchased 511,404 common shares totaling $12.6
   million at an average share price of $24.73 in the third quarter of
   2008, thereby completing its $50 million buyback program approved
   in October 2007.
 * In October 2008, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of
   up to an additional $25 million of Manhattan Associates outstanding
   common stock.

YEAR-TO-DATE FINANCIAL SUMMARY:

Summarized results for the first nine months of 2008, as compared to the first nine months of 2007, follow:

Earnings Per Share



 * GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 5% to $0.84.
 * Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, increased
   to $1.12, a 19% gain.

Revenue



 * Consolidated revenue increased 4% to $261.6 million. Excluding the
   impact of currency changes, revenue increased 3%.
     - License revenue decreased 5%, to $51.5 million.
     - Services revenue totaled $182.1 million, increasing 8%.

Operating Income



 * GAAP operating income decreased 19% to $25.6 million. Excluding the
   impact of currency changes, GAAP operating income decreased 20%.
 * On a non-GAAP basis, operating income slightly decreased from $37.3
   million to $37.1 million.  Excluding the impact of currency changes,
   operating income on a non-GAAP basis decreased 2%.

Tax Rate



 * GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates were 29.36% and 32.70%
   respectively, compared to 34.75% on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis in
   the first half of 2008.  The lower tax rates primarily resulted
   from tax contingency reserves released due to expiring tax audit
   statutes.
 * On a non-GAAP basis, a lower tax rate was achieved through
   recognition of credits related to research and development and job
   training.

Common Share Repurchase



 * The Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million common shares
   during the first nine months of 2008 at an average share price of
   $23.72, for a total investment of $25.0 million

SALES ACHIEVEMENTS:

Significant sales-related achievements during the quarter include:



 * Closing four contracts of $1.0 million or more in recognized
   license revenue during the quarter.  Year-to-date, the company has
   closed 11 contracts of this size.

   Company, Ltd., Crete Carrier Corporation, Lennox International,
   Inc., Republic National Distributing Company, SamsonOpt, Santrade,
   Ltd., Select Carrier Group, Inc., The Men's Wearhouse and Triplefin
   LLC.

   Inc., Ozburn-Hessey Logistics,Inc., Polo Ralph Lauren, Robinson
   Manufacturing, The Apparel Group, Ltd., The Bunsha Company,
   Walgreen Co., Winzer and Wirtz Corporation.

FOURTH QUARTER STAFF ADJUSTMENTS

The Company also announced that, based on its view of intermediate-term market demand, it has identified over-staffed areas and eliminated approximately 150 positions worldwide to realign capacity with demand forecasts. The adjustment represents fewer than 7% of about 2,300 associates worldwide.

"While it is always difficult to release good associates, we took the responsible action of recalibrating our investment in staff based on our adjusted market outlook," Sinisgalli said. "Based on our estimates, we remain sufficiently staffed to meet current and anticipated needs, and have protected our ability to continue investing in areas critical to our short- and long-term success," he added.

"Most of the positions eliminated were in the United States, and most were in the Company's Professional Services organization, which had been sized based on a growth trajectory no longer aligned with global economic conditions," Sinisgalli concluded.

2008 GUIDANCE

Manhattan Associates provided the following diluted earnings per share guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2008. A full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is included in the supplemental information attached to this release.

Manhattan Associates currently intends to publish, in each quarterly earnings release, certain expectations with respect to future financial performance. These statements are forward-looking. Actual results may differ materially, especially in the current uncertain economic environment. These statements do not reflect the potential impact of mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations that may be completed after the date of this release.

Manhattan Associates will make its earnings release and published expectations available on its Web site (www.manh.com). Beginning December 15, 2008, Manhattan Associates will observe a "Quiet Period" during which Manhattan Associates and its representatives will not comment concerning previously published financial expectations. Prior to the start of the Quiet Period, the public can continue to rely on the expectations published in this 2008 Guidance section as still being Manhattan Associates' current expectation on matters covered, unless Manhattan Associates publishes a notice stating otherwise. During the Quiet Period, previously published expectations should be considered historical only, speaking only as of or prior to the Quiet Period, and Manhattan Associates disclaims any obligation to update any previously published financial expectations during the Quiet Period. The Quiet Period will extend until the date when Manhattan Associates' next quarterly earnings release is published, currently scheduled for the first week of February 2009.

CONFERENCE CALL

The Company's conference call regarding its third quarter financial results will be held at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 after the market closes. Investors are invited to listen to a live webcast of the conference call through the investor relations section of Manhattan Associates' website. To listen to the live webcast, please go to Manhattan's website, www.manh.com, at least 15 minutes before the call to download and install any necessary audio software. For those who cannot listen to the live broadcast, a replay can be accessed shortly after the call by dialing +1.800.642.1687 in the U.S. and Canada, or +1.973.200.3379 outside the U.S., and entering the conference identification number 65476910, or via www.manh.com. The phone replay will be available for two weeks after the call, and the Internet broadcast will be available until Manhattan Associates' fourth quarter 2008 earnings release.

GAAP VERSUS NON-GAAP PRESENTATION

The Company provides adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in this press release as additional information regarding the Company's operating results. These measures are not in accordance with -- or an alternative for -- GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' understanding of its historical operating trends, because it provides important supplemental measurement information in evaluating the operating results of its business, as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results. The Company consequently believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful insight into its profitability. This release should be read in conjunction with its Form 8-K earnings release filing for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

 (a) SFAS 123(R) requires us to expense stock options issued to
     employees. Because stock option expense is determined in
     significant part by the trading price of our common stock and the
     volatility thereof, over which we have no direct control, the
     impact of such expense is not subject to effective management by
     us. Thus, we have excluded the impact of this expense from
     adjusted non-GAAP results. The stock option expense is included
     in the following GAAP operating expense lines for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

 (b) Adjustments represent purchase amortization from prior
     acquisitions. Such amortization is commonly excluded from GAAP
     net income by companies in our industry and we therefore exclude
     these amortization costs to provide more relevant and meaningful
     comparisons of our operating results to that of our competitors.

 (c) Adjustment represents recoveries of previously expensed sales tax
     resulting primarily from the expiration of the sales tax audit
     statutes in certain states. Because we have recognized the full
     potential amount of the sales tax expense in prior periods, any
     recovery of that expense resulting from the expiration of the
     statutes or the collection of tax from our customers would
     overstate the current period net income derived from our core
     operations as the recovery is not a result of any event occurring
     within our control during the current period. Thus, we have
     excluded these recoveries from adjusted non-GAAP results.

 (d) During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we recorded an
     impairment charge of $1.7 million, writing down the remaining
     balance of a $2.0 million investment in a technology company we
     made in July 2003. We recorded the additional impairment due to a
     down round of financing in which our preferred share ownership
     was converted into common stock, eliminating our preference
     rights associated with liquidation, thereby substantially
     impairing our ability to recoup our investment. In addition, we
     recorded an impairment charge of $3.5 million on an investment in
     an auction rate security. We reduced the carrying value to zero due
     to credit downgrades of the underlying issuer and the bond
     insurer as well as increasing publicly reported exposure to
     bankruptcy risk by the issuer. We do not include these impairment
     charges in our assessment of our operating results. Due to the
     unusual nature of these items and consistent with our past
     treatment, we have excluded the effect of these impairments from
     adjusted non-GAAP results because they are not indicative of
     ongoing operating performance.

 (e) The majority of the adjustment represents release of income tax
     reserves resulting from expiration of tax audit statutes for U.S.
     federal income tax returns filed for 2004 and prior. In the quarter,
     we completed our IRS audit examination for the 2005 return
     identifying no significant contingencies or errors. Because we
     recorded the majority of the income tax reserves through retained
     earnings in conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1,
     2007, the release of the reserves would overstate the current
     period net income derived from our core operations. The reserve
     reversal is partially offset by $0.6 million tax expense on the
     repatriation of cash from a foreign subsidiary associated with
     the settlement of several large intercompany balances in order to
     reduce the unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss volatility in
     other income. The majority of the large intercompany balances
     were associated with a non-operating legal entity in Europe. We
     do not include this tax in our assessment of our operating
     performance as it does not relate to our core operations. Thus,
     we have excluded these tax adjustments from adjusted non-GAAP
     results.

 (a)  During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we recorded an
      impairment charge of $1.7 million, writing down the remaining
      balance of a $2.0 million investment in a technology company we
      made in July 2003. We recorded the additional impairment due to
      a down round of financing in which our preferred share ownership
      was converted into common stock, eliminating our preference
      rights associated with liquidation, thereby substantially
      impairing our ability to recoup our investment. In addition, we
      recorded an impairment charge of $3.5 million on an investment
      in an auction rate security. We reduced the carrying value to zero
      due to credit downgrades of the underlying issuer and the bond
      insurer as well as increasing publicly reported exposure to
      bankruptcy risk by the issuer. We recorded a tax valuation
      allowance against these capital losses as we do not have any
      future capital gains to offset these losses.

 (b)  Provision to return adjustments include the true-up of the 2007 tax
      provision to the 2007 tax return filed in the third quarter of
      2008. The majority of the adjustments relate to research
      and development and job training tax credits.

 (c)  The majority of the adjustment represents release of income tax
      reserves resulting from expiration of tax audit statutes for
      U.S. federal income tax returns filed for 2004 and prior. In the
      quarter, we completed our IRS audit examination for the 2005
      return identifying no significant contingencies or errors. The
      reserve reversal is partially offset by $0.6 million tax expense
      on the repatriation of cash from a foreign subsidiary associated
      with the settlement of several large intercompany balances in
      order to reduce the unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss
      volatility in other income. The majority of the large
      intercompany balances were associated with a non-operating legal
      entity in Europe.
