PARIS and HERNDON, Va. -- InfoVista (Euronext: IFV, ISIN: FR0004031649, NASDAQ: IVTA), the leading service-centric performance management software company, today announced results for its fiscal year 2006 third quarter, ended March 31, 2006.

Total revenues rose by 21% year over year to EUR10.3 million. Net income for the quarter amounted to EUR51 thousand, after a stock-based compensation charge of EUR294 thousand.

Reflecting on InfoVista's Q3 performance, Gad Tobaly, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We have completed a tremendous quarter and we're particularly pleased to have done this in what is traditionally a seasonally slow period. We owe our record license growth to the success of our new solutions in highly competitive situations, as well as to our growing market profile, as recognised in recent key research reports. We are particularly pleased by our performance in North America in Q3. With continuing favourable prospects in this region coupled with a fast-growing pipeline in Europe and Asia, I am confident of our ability to achieve our targets of approximately 20% revenue growth and positive net income for the full fiscal year."
