WINDSOR, CT — November 8, 2006 — SS&C Technologies, Inc.( www.ssctech.com), a global provider of financial services software and outsourcing solutions, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Reported revenue on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2006 was $52.4 million. Included in reported revenue for the third quarter is a $0.5 million reduction in revenue caused by purchase accounting adjustments to reflect November 23, 2005 deferred revenue at its estimated fair value. Excluding the purchase accounting adjustment, adjusted revenue (a non-GAAP financial measure defined in note 3 to the attached Consolidated Condensed Financial Information) for the third quarter of 2006 was $52.9 million, a 15% increase from the third quarter of 2005. Net profit, on a GAAP basis, for the third quarter of 2006, was $0.4 million.
Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure defined in note 1 to the attached Consolidated Condensed Financial Information) was $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $15.3 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The adjusted operating income increase is 20%. GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2006 was $10.6 million and includes amortization of $5.7 million, stock-based compensation of $1.7 million and deferred revenue adjustment and other purchase accounting items of $0.4 million. GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2005 was $11.9 million and includes amortization of $2.2 million and merger costs of $1.2 million.
Consolidated EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure defined in note 2 of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Information) for the third quarter of 2006 was $20.8 million, compared to $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2005. Consolidated EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006 was $82.4 million.
Revenues/Operating Income
“Our third quarter results reflect consistent growth in revenue, over 2005. For the third consecutive quarter, we have achieved record revenue. We have solid performance across the business, with recurring revenues, which includes both maintenance and outsourcing revenues, of $41.4 million, an increase of 19% over Q3 2005. We are focused on our operating margins while ensuring that we continue to build our outsourcing capability.

Note 1. Reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, merger costs and purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue and other expenses. Adjusted operating income is presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted operating income is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Adjusted operating income does not represent operating income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted operating income as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted operating income and operating income, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted operating income.

Note 2. Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated EBITDA, defined under our Credit Agreement entered into in November 2005, is used in calculating covenant compliance, and is EBITDA adjusted for certain items. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described below. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA are presented because we use these measures to evaluate performance of our business and believe them to be useful indicators of an entity’s debt capacity and its ability to service debt. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating income, net income, or cash flows from operating activities. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA do not represent net income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. The following is a reconciliation between EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA to net income.

Note 3. Reconciliation of Revenue to Adjusted Revenue
Adjusted revenue represents revenue adjusted for one-time purchase accounting adjustments to fair value deferred revenue as a result of the November 2005 merger. Adjusted revenue is presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business against prior periods and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted revenue is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted revenue does not represent revenue, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted revenue as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted revenue and revenue, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted revenue.
