E.piphany Announces Fourth Quarter Results

 Customer Wins Include Caterpillar, Cigna, Harley-Davidson, Nestle, Unilever
                                 And Vivendi

    SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
E.piphany, Inc. (Nasdaq: EPNY) today announced results for the quarter ended
December 31, 2001. For the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the company
reported revenues of $28.0 million, compared to revenues of $49.2 million in
the fourth quarter of 2000.  Fourth quarter license revenues were
$16.2 million and service revenues were $11.8 million, representing 58% and
42% of total revenues, respectively.  Excluding the amortization of goodwill,
stock-based compensation and restructuring charges, net loss for the quarter
was $8.9 million, or $(0.13) per share, compared to a net loss of
$5.2 million, or $(0.08) per share during the fourth quarter of 2000.
Including the amortization of goodwill, stock-based compensation and
restructuring charges, net loss for the quarter was $36.8 million, or $(0.53)
per share.
    For the full year, E.piphany reported total revenues of $125.7 million,
roughly flat with revenues of $127.3 million in 2000.  The net loss excluding
the amortization and write-down of goodwill, stock-based compensation and
restructuring charges for 2001 was $67.7 million, or $(0.99) per share,
compared to a net loss excluding the amortization of goodwill and stock-based
compensation for 2000 of $20.9 million, or $(0.37) per share.  The net loss
including the amortization and write-down of goodwill, stock-based
compensation and restructuring charges for 2001 was $2.6 billion, or $(38.25)
per share.
    "E.piphany closed 2001 with excellent momentum across our entire
application suite," said Roger Siboni, president and chief executive officer.
"We were particularly pleased with the number and quality of our new
customers, including Banco Bital, Caterpillar, Cigna, Cingular Wireless,
Harley Davidson, Japan Airlines, Nestle, Tektronix, Unilever and Vivendi.  We
also had good success with existing customers, such as Cisco, Halifax Bank and
MGM Mirage.  Moreover, even though we once again signed the largest
transaction in our history during the quarter, no single customer comprised
more than 10% of our revenue."
    Kevin Yeaman, chief financial officer, added, "Our balance sheet remains
solid with more than $320 million in cash and DSO of 45 days.  In the fourth
quarter, we again sequentially raised service margins and lowered our total
operating costs."
    This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to
momentum across E.piphany's product suite and the strength of its balance
sheet. 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 delays in the development and release
of new US and international versions of E.piphany's products, increases in
E.piphany's sales cycles, intense competition including the introduction of
new products and services by competitors, our ability to hire and retain
qualified personnel, and worsening general 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 statements.
