Onyx Software Announces 2003 Q2 results
Achieves Non-GAAP Operating Profit

BELLEVUE, Wash -- Onyx® Software Corp. (NASDAQ: ONXSD), worldwide leader in successful CRM, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2003 was $15.8 million, compared to $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2002. Reported net loss for the second quarter of 2003 was $0.9 million or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.37 per share in the second quarter of 2002. All amounts expressed on a per share basis reflect the impact of the one-for-four reverse stock split approved by shareholders and announced on July 23, 2003. Second quarter 2003 net loss includes restructuring charges of $0.8 million, due mostly to headcount reductions in April, and amortization of intangibles of $0.3 million. Second quarter 2002 net loss included restructuring charges of $3.9 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.3 million.

Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2003, which excludes the amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring-related costs, was $0.1 million compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2002. Onyx believes that supplementary disclosure regarding non-GAAP operating income (loss) assists in comparing current operating results with those of past periods. A reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income (loss) with actual operating income (loss) is attached to the financial tables included below in this release.

License revenue in the second quarter of 2003 was $3.1 million compared to $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2002, and was up from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2003. Service revenue in the second quarter of 2003 was $12.7 million compared to $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2002, and was up from $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2003 due to strong demand for professional services.

On June 30, 2003, Onyx had cash and cash equivalents of $13.9 million, compared to $15.0 million on March 31, 2003. Cash balances include net proceeds of $2.8 million raised in a private offering during the second quarter of 2003. During the quarter the company made scheduled payments of $2.5 million on agreements that eliminate excess facilities and $1.0 million in severance, including payments against obligations resulting from terminations in prior quarters.

Business Summary
"Our improved bottom line in the second quarter resulted from cost reduction measures announced last quarter as well as overall business performance that improved modestly compared to the first quarter," said Brent Frei, Co-Founder and CEO. "While the environment continues to be challenging worldwide, we achieved good results in Europe, driven largely by customer acceptance of our government solution and the effectiveness of our partner-assisted sales efforts."

Leading organizations purchasing Onyx Software included Europe Assistance, Greene King BBW PLC and Hong Kong Society of Accountants. CCH Australia purchased additional licenses for their deployment of Onyx on the Oracle platform. In Healthcare, BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, BlueShield of Northeastern New York and HealthNow New York Inc. all chose Onyx for new deployments. In Financial Services, American Express expanded its Onyx deployment in two divisions. European and partner-assisted deals accounted for larger-than-usual shares of license revenue.

Customers engaging Onyx Professional Services during the quarter included Amway Korea, ASB Bank, Camelot, CCH Australia, HealthNow New York Inc., Kyorin Pharmaceuticals, Mellon, NTL, Nuveen Investments Inc. and Starbucks Coffee Company.

No single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of total revenue in the quarter.

Onyx Embedded CRMTM progress
Onyx Software's Embedded CRM initiative made continued progress in the second quarter. Embedded CRM is a leading web services-based approach and flexible business model that combines the Onyx platform with components of other technologies, enabling Onyx partners to deliver composite business solutions tailored to specific customer segments and needs.

Embedded CRM progress was evident through sales of eShop, a solution jointly-developed by Onyx and its partner Deloitte & Touche. The eShop solution combines the Onyx platform with vertical-specific application components to deliver CRM functionality designed to meet the needs of local governments. The eShop solution has subsequently been sold to governments by solution integrators including Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, Liberata, and SX3, as well as by Deloitte & Touche. Four local governments in the United Kingdom purchased Onyx licenses in the second quarter of 2003.

In Financial Services, Onyx announced during the quarter that Getronics, Inc., a global information communication and technology services and solutions company with US headquarters in Billerica, MA, selected Onyx to add CRM components to its suite of retail banking applications.

Late in the second quarter, IBM completed initial training for their hosted Onyx offering, CRM On Demand, and signed a new Healthcare customer for the hosted Onyx offering in July.

Onyx Portable CRM Unveiled
In June, Onyx unveiled Onyx Portable CRM, a family of products that brings the power and flexibility of Onyx CRM to mobile professionals. With Onyx Portable CRM products, mobile professionals can access the Onyx Enterprise CRM application through a broad range of portable computing and wireless devices, enabling them to manage customer interactions, sales opportunities and service and support incidents and tasks on the device of their choice. Onyx also announced the general availability of the latest addition to the Onyx Portable CRM product family, Onyx Employee Portal - Offline Edition 4.5, a solution that provides mobile professionals access to critical customer information via their laptops.

Unlike competing solutions, Onyx Portable CRM products do not require added software on the device. The product features thin, browser-based clients that can be automatically deployed and updated from a standard URL. They have similar interfaces and capabilities, designed to allow users to seamlessly transition between the Onyx solution running on a corporate network and the user's portable device of choice. Onyx has packaged the Portable CRM products into a single offering that customers can purchase as a bundle, allowing them to utilize all of the Portable CRM products for a single fee. As a result of the unique product design and simplified licensing approach, both the initial deployment costs and long-term support costs are designed to be significantly lower than other mobile offerings on the market today.

Onyx Software earns Leader quadrant position in Gartner Midsize CRM Suite Magic Quadrant
Onyx Software achieved Leader placement in Gartner's Magic Quadrant report on CRM Suites for North America Midsize Businesses (MSB). Gartner defines a midsize business as having annual revenues in the range of $50 million to approximately $500 million, up to 1,000 employees or midsize divisions of large enterprises. The report evaluated and positioned eighteen vendors in the MSB customer relationship management market. Onyx is one of only three CRM vendors included in both the midsize business and large enterprise Magic Quadrant reports and the only vendor of the three to be listed as a leader for MSBs.*

Business Outlook While the outcome and timing of deals make a wide range of revenue outcomes possible, at this date the company believes it is likely that third quarter license revenue will improve relative to second quarter 2003, while service revenue will likely decline compared to the second quarter. Total costs and expenses are expected be somewhat lower in the third quarter than in the second quarter. Overall, the company expects its operating results to be in the same range as results from the second quarter of 2003, although management's goal is for sequential improvement.
