LEXINGTON, MA USA
    CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Rational Software Corporation (Nasdaq: RATL) today announced results for the
second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2002.

    Revenue for the second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2002 was
$154.5 million and $307.0 million, respectively, compared to $163.7 million
and $339.5 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.  This
reflects a decrease in second quarter and year-to-date revenues of 6 percent
and 10 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.
    Rational reported pro forma net income and earnings per share on a diluted
basis for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 of $7.1 million and $0.04,
respectively, compared to pro forma net income and earnings per share of $9.5
million and $0.05, respectively, for the same period last year.  This reflects
a decrease in second quarter pro forma net income of 26 percent compared to
the same period last year.
    Rational reported pro forma net income and earnings per share on a diluted
basis for the six months ended September 30, 2002 of $14.3 million and $0.07,
respectively, compared to pro forma net income and earnings per share of $25.7
million and $0.12, respectively, for the same period last year.  This reflects
a decrease in year-to-date pro forma net income of 44 percent compared to the
same period last year.
    Pro forma net income and earnings per share for the periods reported
exclude one-time charges for acquired in-process research and development,
amortization of goodwill and purchased intangibles, amortization of stock-
based compensation related to recent acquisitions, and restructuring and other
charges.
    As reported net loss and loss per share on a diluted basis for the second
quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $19.4 million and $0.10, respectively,
compared to as reported net loss and loss per share on a diluted basis of
$21.6 million and $0.11, respectively, for the same period last year.  The
non-cash charges related to amortization of goodwill and intangibles, net of
tax, dropped from $20.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 to
$3.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002, primarily resulting from
the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 as of
April 1, 2002.
    As reported net loss and loss per share on a diluted basis for the six
months ended September 30, 2002 was $25.8 million and $0.14, respectively,
compared to as reported net loss and loss per share on a diluted basis of
$46.4 million and $0.24, respectively, for the same period last year.  The
non-cash charges related to amortization of goodwill and intangibles, net of
tax, dropped from $40.0 million in the six months ended September 30, 2001 to
$6.3 million in the six months ended September 30, 2002, primarily resulting
from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 as of
April 1, 2002.
    In addition, Rational recorded restructuring and other charges in the
amount of $12.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002.  Of this
amount, $4.1 million was related to our decision to discontinue investment in
our hosted development service - which we had previously estimated at $5.0
million to $15.0 million.  In addition, during the quarter we recorded $8.3
million in restructuring and other charges as a result of updating our
estimates associated with unused facilities reflecting the continued weakness
in lease rates and sublease activity.

    Business Outlook
    For the quarter ending December 31, 2002, management currently expects
revenue to be in the range of between $155.0 and $165.0 million, and pro forma
earnings per share on a diluted basis to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.07.
For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2003, management currently expects
revenue to be in the range of between $625.0 million and $650.0 million, and
pro forma earnings per share on a diluted basis to be in the range of $0.20 to
$0.25.

results beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
