National Council for Social Security Fund of the People's Republic of China Standardizes on S-PLUS®
SSF will deploy S-PLUS as its predictive analytic and reporting platform for risk management and investment performance
SEATTLE - February 26, 2007 -
Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today that the National Council for Social Security Fund (SSF) of the People’s Republic of China has selected Insightful’s S-PLUS® as its primary analytics platform for building the SSF’s internal metric system for risk management and investment performance.
SSF, established to manage and operate more than $25 billion in assets of the National Social Security Fund, chose Insightful’s S-PLUS product family after a thorough analysis of most of the commercially available statistical software packages available. SSF will use the Insightful platform’s advanced quantitative and scientific approaches to build predictive models in order to accurately predict risk and thereby minimize economic surprises. By developing an S-PLUS-based investment performance system, the fund’s goals are to improve returns and manage risks more effectively.
“Given our mandate for building an internal metric system for risk management and investment performance, we needed a strong analytics platform that will help us to quickly build and test predictive quantitative models,” said Mr. Su Yuansheng, project leader of Information Research Division of SSF. “We chose S-PLUS over competitors including SAS and SPSS because of the economic value it provides with its flexible and rapid prototyping and its proven capabilities in modeling and analyzing financial market data.”
In addition to S-PLUS, SSF will also be deploying Insightful’s S+FinMetrics® and S+NuOPT™. S+FinMetrics is a specialized software solution for modeling, analyzing, and visualizing financial market data. The software offers a modern, and flexible analytic environment for reliable and robust, predictive econometric modeling. S+NuOPT combines powerful statistics and graphics with large-scale optimization problem solving. It is specifically designed to optimize large portfolios of assets and liabilities. By deploying Insightful’s analytics platform, SSF can quickly develop an investment metric system that enables better decision making in risk and performance management.
“We are very pleased to have the S-PLUS product family selected by the National Council for Social Security Fund after such a thorough and rigorous evaluation process,” said Jeff Coombs, president and chief executive officer of Insightful. “Being selected by the SSF is not only highly prestigious for Insightful, but an important step in our strategy to build Insightful’s presence in China.”
ABOUT SSF
In August 2000, the Central Committee of CPC and the State Council established a National Social Security Fund (NSSF), and set up National Council for Social Security Fund (SSF) for managing and operating the NSSF's assets. NSSF aims to be a solution to the problem of aging and serves as a strategic reserve fund accumulated by the central government to support future social security expenditures. SSF is responsible for the management and operation of NSSF, including selecting investment managers and custodians of the NSSF, to mandate them with and to monitor the investment operation and custody of the NSSF assets, and to invest directly in prescriptive markets in accordance with the related laws and regulations. During the past few years the SSF has diversified its investments and in 2004 the State Council agreed that NSSF could be invested in overseas markets.

Insightful Announces 2006 Fourth Quarter and Annual Results
Reports Record Quarterly and Annual Revenues
SEATTLE - March 1, 2007 -
Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ: IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, today announced operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
Insightful reported revenues of $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 14% over revenues of $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. Revenues from the company’s core Data Analysis business increased 18% for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. The company reported net income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006, including stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. There was no stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2005.
For the full year 2006, Insightful reported revenues of $24.0 million, an increase of 8% over revenues of $22.3 million for 2005. Revenues from the company’s core Data Analysis business increased 11% for 2006 compared to 2005. Net income for 2006 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, including stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million. Net income for 2005 was $2.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. There was no stock-based compensation expense in 2005.
Non-GAAP earnings, which exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, were $0.7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.09 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP earnings for 2006 were $1.4 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.20 per share, for 2005. As described in the section below entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” non-GAAP earnings or loss differs from net income or loss reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) due to the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangible assets. A reconciliation of Insightful’s GAAP net income to its non-GAAP earnings for the fourth quarters and fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are set forth at the end of this release.
Insightful’s cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term investments balance increased to $10.2 million at December 31, 2006, from $9.9 million at December 31, 2005. Deferred revenues were $6.2 million at December 31, 2006, compared to $6.3 million at December 31, 2005.
“The fourth quarter was the strongest revenue quarter in Insightful’s history,” said Jeff Coombs, president and CEO of Insightful Corporation. “It also marks our 15th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. This growth was driven by our ability to sell larger, solutions-oriented deals to customers in both the life sciences and financial services industries, worldwide. For example, in the fourth quarter we did business in excess of a half-million dollars each with two pharmaceutical companies and one large European financial institution.”
“We continue to focus our efforts on building an organization capable of building, selling and delivering not only an enterprise scale S-PLUS platform but also vertically-oriented solutions, to enable the company to increase revenues at an even higher rate than we have recently experienced,” Coombs continued. “Our increased level of investment means short-term profits could be lower than they otherwise would be, in the interest of accelerating growth.”
Fourth Quarter 2006 Highlights
* Fourth quarter software license revenues were $3.6 million in both 2006 and 2005.
* Software maintenance revenues were $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 18% over $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

“We did business in excess of $1 million dollars with two data analysis customers in 2006, one of which was in excess of $2 million. We did business in excess of $500,000 with four customers. Our strong Data Analysis business enabled us to achieve overall growth despite significant declines in revenues from our Text Analysis business,” Coombs said. “We continue to believe that the greatest opportunities for Insightful are in Data Analysis, so that is where we have put most of our focus and resources.”
“Beginning in the first quarter of 2007 we are integrating our Text Analysis product lines more closely with our Data Analysis business, and will no longer treat Text Analysis as a separate division,” continued Coombs. “Rather, we’ll treat it as a separate product line, similar to how we treat other products in our portfolio.”
Fiscal Year 2006 Highlights
* Software license revenues were $10.6 million in 2006, an increase of 1% over $10.5 million in 2005.
o Software maintenance revenues were $7.5 million in 2006, an increase of 12% over $6.7 million in 2005.

* Insightful Dynamic Reporting Suite, which provides on demand predictive analytic reporting for business users.
Guidance
For the first quarter of 2007, Insightful expects revenues to increase over the first quarter of 2006. Consistent with the seasonal nature of its business, the company expects revenues in the first quarter of 2007 to decline from the fourth quarter of 2006. The company expects costs in the first quarter of 2007 to be higher than in the fourth quarter of 2006, as it continues to set the foundation for future growth by investing in sales, marketing and development of its products and solutions and as it incurs costs associated with complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404. Because of these investments, management believes Insightful will incur both a GAAP and a non-GAAP loss in the first quarter of 2007. For the year 2007, the company expects increases in both revenues and costs over 2006.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measure of earnings included in this press release is different from the GAAP measure of net income, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain charges otherwise included in the computation of net income or loss. Insightful believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful to enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance and also its prospects for the future. These adjustments to the company’s GAAP results are presented with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Insightful’s underlying operating results and trends. This non-GAAP measure is among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting of future periods.
The charges excluded from Insightful’s GAAP results include stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets arising from the 2004 acquisition from Lucent Technologies, Inc. of the title to the software code underlying the “S” programming language. Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets have no current effect on cash or the future uses of cash. Insightful’s stock-based compensation expense fluctuates with changes in the company’s stock price and interest rates. For this reason, changes in stock prices and interest rates could mask variation and trends in Insightful’s GAAP operating results that may otherwise be important to an understanding of the company’s results. The acquisition of intangible assets was an event outside of the course of Insightful’s normal business operations. For these reasons, management believes that exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets may be important to an understanding of Insightful’s ongoing operating performance.
Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP results are as follows:

These adjustments to the company’s GAAP results are presented with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Insightful’s underlying operating results and trends. This non-GAAP measure is among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting of future periods.
The charges excluded from Insightful’s GAAP results include stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets arising from the 2004 acquisition from Lucent Technologies, Inc. of the title to the software code underlying the “S” programming language. Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets have no current effect on cash or the future uses of cash. Insightful’s stock-based compensation expense fluctuates with changes in the company’s stock price and interest rates. For this reason, changes in stock prices and interest rates could mask variation and trends in Insightful’s GAAP operating results that may otherwise be important to an understanding of the company’s results. The acquisition of intangible assets was an event outside of the course of Insightful’s normal business operations. For these reasons, management believes that exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets may be important to an understanding of Insightful’s ongoing operating performance.
Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP results are as follows:

Insightful Announces Operating Results for First Quarter 2007
Reports 12% Revenue Growth over First Quarter 2006
SEATTLE - May 4, 2007 -
Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ: IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, today announced its operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Insightful reported total revenues of $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of 12% over revenues of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. Total revenues associated with the company’s core data analysis product line increased by 16% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. Revenues associated with the company’s text analysis product, InFact, decreased from $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. For the first quarter of 2007, Insightful reported a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.09 per share. Net loss for the first quarter of 2006 was $43,000, or break-even per share.
Non-GAAP operating results, which exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, was a loss of $0.8 million, or $0.06 per share, for the first quarter of 2007, compared to non-GAAP earnings of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of 2006. As described in the section below entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” non-GAAP earnings or loss differs from net income or loss reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) due to the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangible assets. The reconciliation of Insightful’s GAAP net loss to its non-GAAP operating results for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are set forth at the end of this release.
“The first quarter marked our second consecutive quarter of double digit year-over-year revenue growth,” said Jeff Coombs, president and CEO of Insightful Corporation. “More importantly, we made significant progress in building our vertical solutions organization and enhancing our platform development team. While the increased investments contributed to a loss in the first quarter, they are aimed at creating a product and solutions portfolio that will enable us to accelerate our growth. Our product investment strategy is focused on delivering an increasingly enterprise-scalable predictive analytic platform, and to that end we plan to make our S-PLUS® 8.0 Enterprise Developer product generally available later this quarter. In addition, we plan to deliver a series of high-value solutions targeted at the life science and financial services industries starting later this year.”
Quarterly Highlights
* Software license revenues were $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2006. License revenues from the company’s data analysis product line declined from $2.1 million to $1.9 million. License revenues from the company’s InFact product declined from $0.3 million to $0.1 million. Maintenance revenues were $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2006.
* Professional services and other revenues were $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2006.
* Funded research, which is an offset to research and development expense in the company’s income statement, was $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2006.
* Domestic revenues were $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2006. International revenues were $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2006.
* The company merged its data analysis and text analysis business segments. The S-PLUS predictive analytic product line and the InFact text analytic product will be sold by a single, worldwide enterprise sales force. The company’s current product development and marketing focus is on its data analysis product line.
* The company accelerated its investment in solutions focused on the financial services and life sciences vertical markets, and on enhancing its core S-PLUS predictive analytic platform. As a result, net research and development expenses increased 38% to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2007, from $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2006, and increased as a percentage of revenues from 20% to 24%. .
Guidance
For the second quarter of 2007, Insightful expects revenues to increase over the second quarter of 2006. The company expects costs in the second quarter of 2007 to be higher than in the first quarter of 2007 as it continues to set the foundation for future growth by investing in sales, marketing and development of its product lines. Because of these investments, management believes the company will incur both a GAAP and a non-GAAP loss in the second quarter of 2007.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measure of earnings or loss included in this press release is different from the GAAP measure of net income or loss, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain expenses otherwise included in the computation of net income or loss. Insightful believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance and also its prospects for the future. These adjustments to the company’s GAAP results are presented with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Insightful’s underlying operating results and trends. This non-GAAP measure is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting of future periods.
The expenses excluded from Insightful’s GAAP results include stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets arising from the 2004 acquisition from Lucent Technologies, Inc. of the title to the software code underlying the “S” programming language. Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets have no current effect on cash or the future uses of cash. Insightful’s stock-based compensation expense fluctuates with changes in the company’s stock price and interest rates. For this reason, changes in stock prices and interest rates could mask variation and trends in Insightful’s GAAP operating results that may otherwise be important to an understanding of the company’s results. The acquisition of intangible assets was an event outside of the course of Insightful’s normal business operations. For these reasons, management believes that exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets may be important to an understanding of Insightful’s ongoing operating performance.

Insightful Corporation Reports Building Strong Momentum in Life Sciences
Major pharmaceutical companies select Insightful’s S-PLUS software and life sciences solutions over the past 12 months
SEATTLE - May 23, 2007 -
Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, today announced building momentum with large life sciences customers, including both new and expanding engagements over the past 12 months to integrate cutting edge analytics and graphics into all phases of the drug development life cycle.
Insightful counts a majority of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies as customers, including Pfizer, Inc., AstraZeneca International, Johnson & Johnson, and Hoffman-La Roche, Inc. During the past 12 months, each of these four companies and many of the other leading pharmaceutical companies started new life sciences solutions projects with Insightful, expanded existing projects, or purchased more software licenses from Insightful.
Pfizer, Inc. has signed an agreement to deploy S-PLUS predictive analytics software within the company. Insightful's agreement with Pfizer is based on software license and maintenance fees.
Life Sciences Solutions Provide the Knowledge to Act™
Insightful provides life sciences organizations with the knowledge they need to drive faster, better decisions with specialized analytics, graphics and reporting formats. Insightful offers software and service solutions in clinical graphics, PK/PD reporting, clinical data review, innovative trial design, and safety data mining. These solutions are designed to act in concert with existing data management and workflow systems within validated environments to speed the analysis and reporting processes, to increase the likelihood of discerning safety and efficacy signals earlier in the development lifecycle thus decreasing our customers’ product development costs and time to market.
“The agreement with Pfizer, which was signed in December, was one of several with large life sciences companies over the past 12 months, which we believe reflects pharmaceutical companies’ demand for faster, better and more cost effective ways to analyze their data and report their results in all phases of the drug development lifecycle,” said Jeff Coombs, president and CEO of Insightful. “The analytic rigor and graphic superiority of our S-PLUS platform for pre-clinical, clinical, and regulatory submissions have been recognized by our customers as setting a standard of excellence in the industry.”

Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, today announced building momentum with large life sciences customers, including both new and expanding engagements over the past 12 months to integrate cutting edge analytics and graphics into all phases of the drug development life cycle.
Insightful counts a majority of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies as customers, including Pfizer, Inc., AstraZeneca International, Johnson & Johnson, and Hoffman-La Roche, Inc. During the past 12 months, each of these four companies and many of the other leading pharmaceutical companies started new life sciences solutions projects with Insightful, expanded existing projects, or purchased more software licenses from Insightful.
Pfizer, Inc. has signed an agreement to deploy S-PLUS predictive analytics software within the company. Insightful's agreement with Pfizer is based on software license and maintenance fees.
Life Sciences Solutions Provide the Knowledge to Act™
Insightful provides life sciences organizations with the knowledge they need to drive faster, better decisions with specialized analytics, graphics and reporting formats. Insightful offers software and service solutions in clinical graphics, PK/PD reporting, clinical data review, innovative trial design, and safety data mining. These solutions are designed to act in concert with existing data management and workflow systems within validated environments to speed the analysis and reporting processes, to increase the likelihood of discerning safety and efficacy signals earlier in the development lifecycle thus decreasing our customers’ product development costs and time to market.
“The agreement with Pfizer, which was signed in December, was one of several with large life sciences companies over the past 12 months, which we believe reflects pharmaceutical companies’ demand for faster, better and more cost effective ways to analyze their data and report their results in all phases of the drug development lifecycle,” said Jeff Coombs, president and CEO of Insightful. “The analytic rigor and graphic superiority of our S-PLUS platform for pre-clinical, clinical, and regulatory submissions have been recognized by our customers as setting a standard of excellence in the industry.”

Insightful Corporation Launches the Comprehensive S-PLUS® Archive Network (CSAN)
Site aids collaboration and cooperation among the S-PLUS programming community
SEATTLE - June 13, 2007 -
Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ: IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today the formal launch of its Comprehensive S-PLUS® Archive Network (CSAN) at http://csan.insightful.com for the submission and sharing of free S-PLUS packages for the open source and commercial statistical programming communities.
With its latest release, S-PLUS 8.0 Enterprise Developer, Insightful has delivered the S-PLUS package system, a set of features and functions that allows the delivery of complete statistical analysis software packages in S-PLUS. The system also includes tools for porting R packages for use in S-PLUS. The response from package developers and customers has been enthusiastic.
“We are very excited by the interest and contributions that we have received so far,” comments Dr. Stephen Kaluzny, senior engineering manager for Insightful Corporation and architect for the S-PLUS package system. “Early feedback from beta customers and from the R community indicates a strong interest in using the package system for collaboration and the reliable delivery of rigorous statistical analysis.”
Over 25 packages are currently available on the CSAN site free for download. Authors of new S-PLUS packages are encouraged to submit their packages to CSAN.
Currently available packages were submitted during the S-PLUS 8.0 beta period. They include work done by Insightful’s own research group and S-PLUS users and packages converted by R users, including the following:
* Richard Heiberger, from Temple University, contributed a package named "HH" which supports the extensive use of graphic displays for data exploration as described in his book, "Statistical Analysis and Data Display."
* Harry Southworth, from AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical, contributed a port from R of the "ismev" package which is designed to support the computations in the book, "An Introduction to Statistical Modeling of Extreme Values."
* Knut Wittkowski, from Rockefeller University, contributed the "muStat" package which performs nonparametric tests.
* Martyn Plummer, from the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, is a contributing author for a package named "coda" which provides output analysis and diagnostics for Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations.
“This is a very encouraging development in the R/S-PLUS relationship,” states Uwe Ligges, from Dortmund University. “Insightful’s S-PLUS package system is a great start in bridging the gap between these statistical programming languages and we anticipate further cooperation will result in benefits for all statisticians, open source and commercial.”
“We are committed to furthering the science of statistical programming as a company,” says Jeff Coombs, president and CEO of Insightful Corporation. “We want to thank all of the contributing authors to the S-PLUS package system. The CSAN site enables our customers to benefit directly from cutting-edge work being done in the predictive analytics field, as well as providing them with a conduit for giving back to the worldwide statistics community.”

Insightful Announces Operating Results for Second Quarter 2007
Reports 12% Revenue Growth over Second Quarter of 2006 in Core Data Analysis Business
SEATTLE - August 2, 2007 -
Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ: IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, today announced its operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Insightful reported total revenues of $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 7% over revenues of $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2006. Total revenues associated with the company’s core data analysis product line increased by 12% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006. Revenues associated with the company’s text analysis product, InFact, decreased from $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. For the second quarter of 2007, Insightful reported a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $.03 per share, for the second quarter of 2006.
Non-GAAP operating results, which exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, was a loss of $1.1 million, or $0.08 per share, for the second quarter of 2007, compared to a non-GAAP loss of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2006. As described in the section below entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” non-GAAP earnings or loss differs from net income or loss reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) due to the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangible assets. The reconciliation of Insightful’s GAAP net loss to its non-GAAP loss for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are set forth at the end of this release.
“The second quarter marked our third consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth in data analysis revenue,” said Jeff Coombs, president and CEO of Insightful Corporation. “While we’re pleased that our core business grew compared to last year, driven entirely by growth in Europe, we’re disappointed that license revenues and domestic revenues declined year-over-year. During the second quarter we made our S-PLUS 8.0 Enterprise Developer desktop product generally available and we plan to deliver a series of high-value solutions targeted at the life science and financial services industries starting later this year.”
The company also reported separately today the sale of its InFact search technology and associated intellectual property rights to Hypertext Solutions Inc. for $3.65 million in cash. Hypertext is a Seattle-based startup company focused on making information on the web more “intelligent.” A gain will be recorded in Insightful’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 in the amount of the purchase price less the direct costs of the transaction, which closed today.
Quarterly Highlights
* Software license revenues were $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2006. License revenues from the company’s data analysis product line declined from $2.0 million to $1.6 million. License revenues from the company’s InFact product declined from $0.3 million to $0.1 million. Maintenance revenues increased to $2.0 million from $1.8 million.
* Professional services and other revenues were $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2006.
* Funded research, which is an offset to research and development expense in the company’s income statement, was $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2006.
* Domestic revenues were $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2006. This decrease resulted in part from a $0.2 million decline in revenues from the InFact product line. International revenues were $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2006.
* During the second quarter the company announced the general availability of S-PLUS® 8.0 Enterprise Developer, the latest major release of Insightful’s software platform for statistical data analysis and predictive analytics.
* The company accelerated its investment in solutions focused on the financial services and life sciences vertical markets, and on enhancing its core S-PLUS predictive analytic platform. As a result, net research and development expenses increased by 47% to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2006, and increased as a percentage of revenues from 20% to 28%.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measure of earnings or loss included in this press release is different from the GAAP measure of net income or loss, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain expenses otherwise included in the computation of net income or loss. Insightful believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance and also its prospects for the future. These adjustments to the company’s GAAP results are presented with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Insightful’s underlying operating results and trends. This non-GAAP measure is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting of future periods.
The expenses excluded from Insightful’s GAAP results include stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets arising from the 2004 acquisition from Lucent Technologies, Inc. of the title to the software code underlying the “S” programming language. Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets have no current effect on cash or the future uses of cash. Insightful’s stock-based compensation expense fluctuates with changes in the company’s stock price and interest rates. For this reason, changes in stock prices and interest rates could mask variation and trends in Insightful’s GAAP operating results that may otherwise be important to an understanding of the company’s results. The acquisition of intangible assets was an event outside of the course of Insightful’s normal business operations. For these reasons, management believes that exclusion of stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets may be important to an understanding of Insightful’s ongoing operating performance.
Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP results are as follows:

Insightful Corporation Sells InFact
SEATTLE - August 2, 2007 -
Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ: IFUL), announced today the sale of its InFact search technology and associated intellectual property rights to Hypertext Solutions Inc. for $3.65 million in cash. Hypertext is a Seattle-based startup company focused on making information on the web more “intelligent.” The transaction closed today.
“Our move to sell the InFact technology enables us to focus on accelerating the growth of our S-PLUS product line and our Data Analysis business, which grew 14% during the first half of 2007 as compared to the first half of 2006,” said Jeff Coombs, President and CEO of Insightful Corporation. “We believe we are well positioned to drive additional growth in the predictive analytics space, and are currently investing heavily to deliver an increasingly enterprise-scalable platform and a series of high-value solutions targeted at the life science and financial services industries.”
Insightful will continue to support its current InFact customers, having received a support license to the InFact technology as part of the transaction, but will not be licensing the InFact product to new customers. Also as part of the agreement, Hypertext employed certain Insightful employees who were previously members of the InFact team.
“We are gratified to have created value for our stockholders through the hard work of our employees, in particular, Giovanni Marchisio, who remains with us as our Vice President of Research and Development,” said Coombs. “This sale marks the culmination of our efforts to explore multiple strategic alternatives for InFact.”
At the beginning of 2007, Insightful integrated its Text Analysis (InFact) product line more closely with its Data Analysis business, no longer treating Text Analysis as a separate segment. The company also announced at that time that it was no longer projecting significant revenues for the InFact product line.
A gain will be recorded in Insightful’s third quarter financial results for the amount of the purchase price less the direct costs of the transaction.

“Our move to sell the InFact technology enables us to focus on accelerating the growth of our S-PLUS product line and our Data Analysis business, which grew 14% during the first half of 2007 as compared to the first half of 2006,” said Jeff Coombs, President and CEO of Insightful Corporation. “We believe we are well positioned to drive additional growth in the predictive analytics space, and are currently investing heavily to deliver an increasingly enterprise-scalable platform and a series of high-value solutions targeted at the life science and financial services industries.”
Insightful will continue to support its current InFact customers, having received a support license to the InFact technology as part of the transaction, but will not be licensing the InFact product to new customers. Also as part of the agreement, Hypertext employed certain Insightful employees who were previously members of the InFact team.
“We are gratified to have created value for our stockholders through the hard work of our employees, in particular, Giovanni Marchisio, who remains with us as our Vice President of Research and Development,” said Coombs. “This sale marks the culmination of our efforts to explore multiple strategic alternatives for InFact.”
At the beginning of 2007, Insightful integrated its Text Analysis (InFact) product line more closely with its Data Analysis business, no longer treating Text Analysis as a separate segment. The company also announced at that time that it was no longer projecting significant revenues for the InFact product line.
A gain will be recorded in Insightful’s third quarter financial results for the amount of the purchase price less the direct costs of the transaction.
