    For the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the company reported revenues of

Net loss under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the
quarter was $14.8 million, or $(0.20) per share, compared to a net loss under
GAAP of $36.8 million, or $(0.53) per share during the fourth quarter of 2001.
Net loss excluding the amortization of goodwill and purchased intangibles,
stock-based compensation and restructuring costs for the quarter was
$8.1 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared to a net loss of $8.9 million, or
$(0.13) per share during the fourth quarter of 2001.
    For the year ended December 31, 2002, E.piphany reported total revenues of
$83.8 million, compared to revenues of $128.8 million in 2001.  The net loss
under GAAP for 2002 was $71.7 million, or $(1.00) per share, compared to a net

or $(0.62) per share, compared to a net loss for 2001 of $67.7 million, or
$(0.99) per share.
    Roger Siboni, president and chief executive officer, commented, "I am
pleased with our progress in the quarter and believe that we are achieving
the strategic milestones that we set for ourselves.  After launching our E.6
Service product last quarter, which completed the E.6 Suite, we continued to
have success selling across each of our Marketing, Sales and Service product
lines.  We added 14 new customers in the quarter, including Ameriquest
Mortgage, British Gas, eBay, Hoffman LaRoche, KLM, USAA and Zales.
Additionally, we continued to grow our existing engagements at customers such
as American Express, Cigna and Exxon.  In addition to meeting our product and
customer milestones, we continue to achieve a superior level of customer
satisfaction.  A recent AMR survey of all major CRM vendors reported, 'In
terms of overall satisfaction, no vendor was able to produce nearly as many
satisfied customers as E.piphany.'"
    Kevin Yeaman, chief financial officer, added, "Our balance sheet at the
end of the year remains strong.  During the fourth quarter, cash and
investments decreased less than $2 million to $287 million, DSO declined to
28 days, and deferred revenue increased 22% to $20.5 million."

    This press release contains forward-looking statements, including
statements relating to E.piphany's continued achievement of strategic
milestones, successful selling efforts, customer satisfaction and balance
sheet strength. Actual results could differ materially from such
forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements include the degree of interest
in and acceptance of E.piphany's new products, increases in the length of

customers, the introduction of new products and services by competitors and
intense competition generally, our ability to hire and retain qualified
personnel, and general and industry-specific economic conditions.  These
factors and others are described in more detail in the Company's public
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as those
discussed in the "Risk Factors" section included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the Company's prior
press releases.  E.piphany assumes no duty to update forward-looking
