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:
