FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus and the documents incorporated into this prospectus by reference contain forward-looking statements that we have made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs, and assumptions made by management. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated into this prospectus by reference. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which reflect management's view only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update such statements or publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which it may make to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 3 5 RISK FACTORS Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently know to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and investors may lose all or part of their investment. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form S-3, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. THE EXPECTED FLUCTUATION OF OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS OR DECLINES. Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to do so in the future. These fluctuations could cause our stock price to also significantly fluctuate or experience declines. Some of the factors which could cause our operating results to fluctuate include: - the size and timing of customer orders, which can be affected by customer order deferrals in anticipation of future new product introductions or product enhancements and customer budgeting and purchasing cycles; - market acceptance of our products; - the length and variability of our sales cycle for our products; - announcement, introduction or enhancement of our products or our competitors' products and changes in our or our competitors' pricing policies; - our ability to develop, introduce and market new products on a timely basis; - the mix of our products and services sold and the mix of distribution channels utilized; - our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs; - technological changes in computer systems and environments; - general economic conditions, which may affect our customers' capital investment and information technology spending levels; and - increased competition from partnerships formed by our current and former partners and our competitors. Our product revenues are not predictable with any significant degree of certainty. Historically, we have recognized a substantial portion of our revenues in the last month of the quarter. If customers cancel or delay orders it can have a material adverse impact on our revenues and results of operation for the quarter. To the extent any such cancellations or delays are for large orders, this impact will be greater. To the extent that the average size of our orders increases, customers' cancellations or delays of orders will more likely harm our revenues and results of operations. Our quarterly product license revenues are difficult to forecast because we historically have not had a substantial backlog of orders, and therefore revenues in each quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked an shipped in that quarter and cash collections from specific international customers and specific resellers. Our product license revenues are also difficult to forecast because the market for our products is rapidly evolving, and our sales cycles, which may last many months, vary substantially from customer to customer and vary in general due to a number of factors, some of which we have little or no control, such as (i) size and timing of individual license transactions, the closing of which tend to be delayed by customers until the end of a fiscal quarter as a negotiating tactic, (ii) potential for delay or deferral of customer implementations of our software, (iii) changes in customer budgets, and (iv) seasonality of technology purchases and other general economic conditions. Nonetheless, our short-term expense levels are relatively fixed and based, in part, on our expectations of future revenues. 4 6 The difficulty we have in predicting our quarterly revenue means revenues shortfalls are likely to occur at some time, and our inability to adequately reduce short-term expenses means such shortfalls will affect not only our revenue, but also our overall business, results of operations and financial condition. Due to the uncertainty surrounding our revenues and expenses, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication of our future performance. While we achieved significant quarter-to-quarter revenue growth in the past, you should not take these recent quarterly results to be indicative of our future performance. We do not expect to sustain this same rate of sequential quarterly revenue growth in future periods. Moreover our future operating results may fall below the expectations of stock analysts and investors. If this happens, the price of our common stock may fall. GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS MAY REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND HARM OUR BUSINESS. As our business has grown, we have become increasingly subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. Because of the recent economic slowdown in the United States and in Europe, many industries are delaying or reducing technology purchases. The impact of this slowdown on us is difficult to predict, but it has resulted in reductions in capital expenditures by our end-user customers, longer sales cycles, deferral or delay of purchase commitments for our products and increased price competition. As a result, if the current economic conditions in the U.S. and Europe continue or worsen, or if a wider or global economic slowdown occurs, we may continue to fall short of our revenue expectations for any given quarter in 2001 or for the entire year. These conditions would negatively affect our business and results of operations. In addition, weakness in the end-user market could negatively affect the cash flow of our reseller customers who could, in turn, delay paying their obligations to us. This would increase our credit risk exposure which could harm our profitability and financial condition. BECAUSE WE SELL A LIMITED NUMBER OF PRODUCTS, IF THESE PRODUCTS DO NOT ACHIEVE BROAD MARKET ACCEPTANCE, OUR REVENUES WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. To date, substantially all of our revenues were derived from our PowerCenter, PowerConnects, PowerMart, our analytic application software products and related services. We expect revenues derived from these products and related services to comprise substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Even if the emerging software market in which these products are sold grows substantially, if any of these products do not achieve market acceptance, our revenues will be adversely affected. In particular, we recently released our analytic application products and the degree of market acceptance for these products is unknown. Market acceptance of our products could be affected if, among other things, competition substantially increases in the analytic applications marketplace or transactional applications suppliers integrate their products to such a degree that the utility of the data integration functionality that our products provide is minimized or rendered unnecessary. IF THE MARKET IN WHICH WE SELL OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DOES NOT GROW AS WE ANTICIPATE, IT WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES. The market for software solutions, including analytic applications, that enable more effective business decision making by helping companies aggregate and utilize data stored throughout an organization is relatively new and still emerging. Substantially all of our revenues are attributable to the sale of products and services in this market. If this market does not grow at the rate we anticipate, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected. One of the reasons this market might not grow as we anticipate is that many companies are not yet fully aware of the benefits of using these software solutions to help make business decisions or the benefits of our specific product solutions. As a result, we believe large companies have deployed these software solutions to make business decisions on a relatively limited basis. Although we have devoted and intend to continue to devote significant resources promoting market awareness of the benefits of these solutions, our efforts may be unsuccessful or insufficient. Analytic applications' higher price point and potentially longer sales cycle could be especially affected by a global economic slowdown, where larger transaction sizes receive closer scrutiny. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCURATELY FORECAST REVENUES, IT MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. We use a "pipeline" system, a common industry practice, to forecast sales and trends in our business. Our sales personnel monitor the status of all proposals, including the date when they estimate that a customer will make a purchase decision and the potential dollar amount of the sale. We aggregate these estimates periodically in order to generate a 5 7 sales pipeline. We compare the pipeline at various points in time to look for trends in our business. While this pipeline analysis may provide us with some guidance in business planning and budgeting, these pipeline estimates are necessarily speculative and may not consistently correlate to revenues in a particular quarter or over a longer period of time. Any change in the conversion of the pipeline into contracts or in the pipeline itself could cause us to improperly plan or budget and thereby adversely affect our business or results of operations. In particular, a slowdown in the economy may cause customer purchases to be reduced in amount, deferred or cancelled which will therefore reduce the overall license pipeline conversion rates in a particular period of time. WE RELY ON THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO USE OR INTEGRATE THESE TECHNOLOGIES, OUR PRODUCT AND SERVICE DEVELOPMENT MAY BE DELAYED. We intend to continue to license technologies from third parties, including applications used in our research and development activities and technologies, which are integrated into our products and services. If we cannot obtain, integrate or continue to license any of these technologies, we may experience a delay in product and service development until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed and integrated. These technologies may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We may not be able to successfully integrate any licensed technology into our products or services, which would harm our business and operating results. Third-party licenses also expose us to increased risks that include: - risks of product malfunction after new technology is integrated; - the diversion of resources from the development of our own proprietary technology; and - our inability to generate revenue from new technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs. THE LENGTHY SALES CYCLE AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS OF OUR PRODUCTS MAKES OUR REVENUES SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLUCTUATIONS. Our sales cycle can be lengthy because the expense, complexity, broad functionality and company-wide deployment of our products, particularly our analytic applications products, typically requires executive-level approval for investment in our products. In addition, to successfully sell our products, we frequently must educate our potential customers about the full benefits of our products, which also can require significant time. Due to these factors, the sales cycle associated with the purchase of our products is subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little or no control, including: - customers' budgetary constraints and internal acceptance review procedures; - the timing of budget cycles; - concerns about the introduction of our products or competitors' new products; or - potential downturns in general economic conditions. Further, our sales cycle may lengthen as we continue to focus our sales efforts on large corporations. The implementation of our products, and particularly our analytic application products, can be a complex and time- consuming process, the length and cost of which may be difficult to predict. If our sales cycle and implementation process lengthens unexpectedly, it could adversely affect the timing of our revenues or increase costs, either of which may independently cause fluctuations in our revenue. 6 8 THE MARKET IN WHICH WE SELL OUR PRODUCTS IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE. The market for our products is highly competitive, quickly evolving and subject to rapidly changing technology. Many of our competitors or potential competitors have longer operating histories, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources, or greater name recognition than we do. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Competition could seriously impede our ability to sell additional products and services on terms favorable to us. Our current and potential competitors may develop and market new technologies that render our existing or future products obsolete, unmarketable or less competitive. We believe we currently compete more on the basis of our products' functionality than on the basis of price. If our competitors develop products with similar or superior functionality, we may have difficulty competing on the basis of price. Our current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with other solution providers, thereby increasing the ability of their products to address the needs of our prospective customers. Our current and potential competitors may establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our current or future strategic partners, thereby limiting our ability to sell products through these channels. Competitive pressures could reduce our market share or require us to reduce our prices, either of which could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. We compete principally against providers of data warehousing and analytic application software. Such competitors include Acta Technology, Ascential Software Corporation, Broadbase Software, Inc., E.piphany Inc., and Sagent Technology, Inc. In addition, we compete against database vendors and business intelligence vendors that currently offer, or may develop, products with functionalities that compete with our solutions, such as Brio Technology, Inc., Business Objects S.A., Cognos Inc. Hyperion Solutions Corporation and Microstrategy Inc. These products typically operate specifically with these competitors' proprietary databases. Such potential competitors include IBM, Microsoft and Oracle. IF WE DO NOT MAINTAIN AND STRENGTHEN OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR STRATEGIC PARTNERS, OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUE AND CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION COSTS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. We believe that our ability to increase the sales of our products and our future success will depend in part upon maintaining and strengthening successful relationships with our current or future strategic partners. In addition to our direct sales force, we rely on established relationships with a variety of strategic partners, such as systems integrators, resellers and distributors, for marketing, licensing, implementing and supporting our products in the United States and internationally. We also rely on relationships with strategic technology partners, such as enterprise resource planning providers and enterprise application providers, for the promotion and implementation of our solutions. In particular, our ability to market our products depends substantially on our relationships with significant strategic partners, including Accenture, Ariba, BroadVision, Business Objects, Deloitte Consulting, KPMG Consulting, PeopleSoft, PricewaterhouseCoopers, SAP, Siebel Systems, Sybase, TIBCO, Vitrio and webMethods. In addition, our strategic partners may offer products of several different companies, including, in some cases, products that compete with our products. We have limited control, if any, as to whether these strategic partners devote adequate resources to promoting, selling and implementing our products. We may not be able to maintain our strategic partnerships or attract sufficient additional strategic partners who are able to market our products effectively, who are qualified to provide timely and cost-effective customer support and service or who have the technical expertise and personnel resources necessary to implement our products for our customers. In particular, if our strategic partners do not devote adequate resources for implementation of our products, we will incur substantial additional costs associated with hiring and training additional qualified technical personnel to timely implement solutions for our customers. Furthermore, our relationships with our strategic partners may not generate enough revenue to offset the significant resources used to develop these relationships. 7 9 ANY SIGNIFICANT DEFECT IN OUR PRODUCTS COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE REVENUE AND EXPOSE US TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS. The software products we offer are inherently complex and, despite extensive testing and quality control, have in the past and may in the future contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced. These defects and errors could cause damage to our reputation, loss of revenue, product returns, order cancellations or lack of market acceptance of our products, and as a result, harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. We have in the past and may in the future need to issue corrective releases of our software products to fix these defects or errors. For example, we issued corrective releases to fix problems with the version of our PowerMart released in the first quarter of 1998. As a result, we had to allocate significant customer support resources to address these problems. Our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. The limitation of liability provisions contained in our license agreements, however, may not be effective as a result of existing or future national, federal, state or local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to date, the sale and support of our products entails the risk of such claims, which could be substantial in light of the use of our products in enterprise-wide applications. If a claimant successfully brings a product liability claim against us, it would likely significantly harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR FUTURE PRODUCT SALES. The market for our products is characterized by continuing technological development, evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements. The introduction of products by our direct competitors or others embodying new technologies, the emergence of new industry standards or changes in customer requirements could render our existing products obsolete, unmarketable or less competitive. In particular, an industry-wide adoption of uniform open standards across heterogeneous analytic applications could minimize the importance of the integration functionality of our products and materially adversely affect the competitiveness and market acceptance of our products. Our success depends upon our ability to enhance existing products, to respond to changing customer requirements and to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products that keep pace with technological and competitive developments and emerging industry standards. We have in the past experienced delays in releasing new products and product enhancements and may experience similar delays in the future. As a result, some of our customers deferred purchasing the PowerMart product until this upgrade was released. Future delays or problems in the installation or implementation of our new releases may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and purchase those of our competitors instead. Failure to develop and introduce new products, or enhancements to existing products, in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, will materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. WE EXPECT SEASONAL TRENDS TO CAUSE OUR QUARTERLY REVENUES TO FLUCTUATE. In recent years, there has been a relatively greater demand for our products in the fourth quarter than in each of the first three quarters of the year, particularly the first quarter. As a result, we historically have experienced relatively higher bookings in the fourth quarter and relatively lighter bookings in the first quarter. While some of this effect can be attributed to the rapid growth of revenues in recent years, we believe that these fluctuations are caused by customer buying patterns (often influenced by year-end budgetary pressures) and the efforts of our direct sales force to meet or exceed year-end sales quotas. In addition, European sales may tend to be relatively lower during the summer months than during other periods. We expect that seasonal trends will continue for the foreseeable future. This seasonal impact may increase as we continue to focus our sales efforts on large corporations. WE RECOGNIZE REVENUE FROM SPECIFIC CUSTOMERS AT THE TIME WE RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR OUR PRODUCTS, AND IF THESE CUSTOMERS DO NOT MAKE TIMELY PAYMENT, OUR REVENUES COULD DECREASE. Based on limited credit history, we recognize revenue from sales to OEMs, specific resellers, distributors and specific international customers at the time we receive payment for our products, rather than at the time of sale. If these customers do not make timely payment for our products, our revenues could decrease. If our revenues decrease, the price of our common stock may fall. 8 10 WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND A HISTORY OF LOSSES, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE PROFITABLE OPERATIONS. We were incorporated in 1993 and began selling our products in 1996; and therefore, we have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our operations, products and prospects. We have incurred significant net losses since our inception, and we may not achieve profitability. We intend to increase our operating expenses in the next twelve months; therefore, our operating results will be harmed if revenues do not increase. OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER AS A RESULT OF OUR STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS. In December 1999, we acquired Influence, a developer of analytic applications for e-business. In February 2000, we acquired Delphi, a distributor of our products in Switzerland. In August 2000, we acquired Zimba, a provider of applications that enable mobile professionals to have real-time access to enterprise and external information through wireless devices, voice recognition technologies and the Internet. In April 2000, we acquired certain PwC intellectual property rights and personnel in exchange for shares of our common stock. In November 2000, we acquired certain intellectual property from QRB Developers. In January 2001, we acquired syn-T-sys, a distributor of our products in the Netherlands and Belgium. In June 2001, we acquired Informatica Partners, a distributor of our products in France. We may not be able to effectively integrate these companies, intellectual property, or personnel, and our attempts to do so will place an additional burden on our management and infrastructure. These acquisitions will subject us to a number of risks, including: - the loss of key personnel, customers and business relationships; - difficulties associated with assimilating and integrating the new personnel and operations of the acquired company; - the potential disruption of our ongoing business; - the expense associated with maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures, employees and clients; - the risk of product malfunction after new technology is integrated; - the diversion of resources from the development of our own proprietary technology; - our inability to generate revenue from new technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs; and - the risk of impairment write offs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with our acquisitions. WE MAY ENGAGE IN FUTURE ACQUISITIONS OR INVESTMENTS THAT COULD DILUTE OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS, OR CAUSE US TO INCUR CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, DEBT OR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may evaluate potential acquisitions of, or investments in related businesses, products or technologies. Future acquisitions could result in the issuance of dilutive equity securities, the incurrence of debt or contingent liabilities. There can be no assurance that any strategic acquisition or investment will succeed. Any future acquisition or investment could harm our business, financial condition and results of operation. OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS EXPOSE US TO GREATER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, COLLECTIONS, EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS, REGULATORY AND OTHER RISKS, WHICH COULD LIMIT OUR FUTURE GROWTH. 9 11 We intend to continue to expand our international operations, and as a result, we may face significant additional risks. Our failure to manage our international operations and the associated risks effectively could limit the future growth of our business. The expansion of our existing international operations and entry into additional international markets will require significant management attention and financial resources. Our international operations face numerous risks. Our products must be localized -- customized to meet local user needs -- in order to be sold in particular foreign countries. Developing local versions of our products for foreign markets is difficult and can take longer than we anticipate. We currently have limited experience in localizing products and in testing whether these localized products will be accepted in the targeted countries. We cannot assure you that our localization efforts will be successful. In addition, we have only a limited history of marketing, selling and supporting our products and services internationally. As a result, we must hire and train experienced personnel to staff and manage our foreign operations. However, we may experience difficulties in recruiting and training an international staff. We must also be able to enter into strategic relationships with companies in international markets. If we are not able to maintain successful strategic relationships internationally or recruit additional companies to enter into strategic relationships, our future growth could be limited. Our international business is subject to a number of risks, including the following: - greater difficulty in protecting intellectual property; - greater difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations; - greater risk of uncollectible accounts; - longer collection cycles; - potential unexpected changes in regulatory practices and tariffs; - potential unexpected changes in tax laws and treaties; - sales seasonality; - the impact of fluctuating exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies in markets where we do business; and - general economic and political conditions in these foreign markets. We may encounter difficulties predicting the extent of the future impact of these conditions. These factors and other factors could harm our ability to gain future international revenues and consequently on our business, results of operations and financial condition. DIFFICULTIES WE MAY ENCOUNTER MANAGING OUR GROWTH COULD HARM OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. We have experienced a period of rapid and substantial growth that has placed and, if such growth continues, will continue to place a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure. If we are unable to manage this growth effectively, our business, results of operations or financial condition may be significantly harmed. Our ability to manage our operations and growth effectively requires us to continue to improve our sales, operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures and hiring programs. We may not be able to successfully implement improvements to our sales, management information and control systems in an efficient or timely manner, and we may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED. Our success depends upon our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret rights, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary 10 12 rights. Our pending patent applications may not be allowed or our competitors may successfully challenge the validity or scope of any of our five issued patents or any future issued patents. Our patents alone may not provide us with any significant competitive advantage. Third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization, or develop similar technology independently. We cannot easily monitor any unauthorized use of our products, and, although we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy is a prevalent problem in our industry in general. Furthermore, effective protection of intellectual property rights is unavailable or limited in various foreign countries. The protection of our proprietary rights may be inadequate and our competitors could independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design around any patents or other intellectual property rights we hold. WE MAY FACE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS THAT COULD BE COSTLY TO DEFEND AND RESULT IN OUR LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT RIGHTS. As is common in the software industry, we have received and may continue from time to time receive notices from third parties claiming infringement by our products of third-party patent and other proprietary rights. Third parties could claim that our current or future products infringe their patent or other proprietary rights. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could adversely effect our business, financial condition and operating results. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Legal action claiming patent infringement could be commenced against us, and we may not prevail in such litigation given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in patent litigation. Moreover, the cost of defending patent litigation could be substantial, regardless of the outcome. In the event a patent claim against us was successful and we could not obtain a license on acceptable terms, license a substitute technology or redesign to avoid infringement, our business, financial condition and operating results would be significantly harmed. OUR STOCK PRICE FLUCTUATES AS A RESULT OF OUR BUSINESS AND STOCK MARKET FLUCTUATIONS. The market price for our common stock has experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate significantly. The market price for our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, including the following: - the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors; - quarterly variations in our or our competitors' results of operations; - changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; - developments in our industry; and - general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors. In addition, stock prices for many companies in the technology and emerging growth sectors have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. After periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future, which is often expensive and diverts management's attention and resources, which could harm our ability to execute our business plan. Such factors and fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, which may impact our operations. THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL OR THE INABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL, PARTICULARLY IN THE SILICON VALLEY AREA, WHERE WE ARE HEADQUARTERED, COULD HARM OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. We believe our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, including Gaurav S. Dhillon, our Chief Executive Officer, Diaz H. Nesamoney, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and other key 11 13 members of our management team. We currently do not have any key-man life insurance relating to our key personnel, and their employment is at-will and not subject to employment contracts. We may not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining key personnel in the future. As we seek to expand our operations, the hiring of qualified sales and technical personnel will be difficult due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Competition for these types of employees, particularly in the Silicon Valley area, where we are headquartered, is intense. We have in the past experienced difficulty in recruiting qualified sales and technical personnel. Failure to attract, assimilate and retain key personnel, particularly sales and technical personnel, would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. WE MAY NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE, WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON REASONABLE TERMS TO US, IF AT ALL. We may not generate sufficient revenue from operations to offset our operating or other expenses. As a result, in the future, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. We may not be able to borrow money or sell more of our equity securities to meet our cash needs. Even if we are able to do so, it may not be on terms that are favorable or reasonable to us. If we are not able to raise additional capital when we need it in the future, our business could be seriously harmed. OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT COULD DISCOURAGE A TAKEOVER. Our basic corporate documents and Delaware law contain provisions that might enable our management to resist a takeover. These provisions might discourage, delay or prevent a change in the control of Informatica or a change in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we have a classified Board of Directors, with each class of directors subject to re-election every three years. This classified board has the effect of making it more difficult for third parties to insert their representatives on our Board of Directors and gain control of Informatica. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the common stock. BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. Our operations are vulnerable to interruption by fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure and other events beyond our control. We do not have a detailed disaster recovery plan. Our facilities in the State of California are currently subject to electrical blackouts as a consequence of a shortage of available electrical power. In the event these blackouts continue or increase in severity, they could disrupt the operations of our affected facilities. In connection with the shortage of available power, prices for electricity have risen dramatically, and will likely continue to increase for the foreseeable future. Such price changes will increase our operating costs, which could in turn hurt our profitability. In addition, we do not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur, and any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. 12 14 USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus will go to the Selling Stockholders who offer and sell their shares. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth the number of shares owned by each of the Selling Stockholders as of August 3, 2001. None of the Selling Stockholders has had a material relationship with us within the past three years other than as described below or as a result of the ownership of the shares or other securities of Informatica. No estimate can be given as to the amount of shares that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of this offering because the Selling Stockholders may offer all or some of the shares and because there currently are no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares. The shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the Selling Stockholder named below. SHARES BENEFICIALLY OWNED NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO NAME OF SELLING STOCKHOLDER NUMBER(1) PERCENTAGE THIS PROSPECTUS (2)(3) --------------------------- --------- ---------- ------------------------ Bruce Denby 1,709 * 1,709 M.

(1) Certain Selling Stockholders may receive additional shares pursuant to an earn-out formula. The aggregate number of earn-out shares will not exceed 24,767 shares. These earn-out shares have not been included in this registration statement or in this table. An amendment to this registration statement and a prospectus supplement will be filed to reflect any change in the number of shares offered by the individual Selling Stockholders as a result of the issuance of earn-out shares, if any. (2) This registration statement also shall cover any additional shares of common stock that become issuable in connection with the shares registered for sale hereby by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration that results in an increase in the number of our outstanding shares of common stock. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are registering all 49,543 shares of common stock (the "Shares") on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. As used in this prospectus, "Selling Stockholders" includes the pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest that receive such shares as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The Shares may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of Informatica in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at (1) market prices prevailing at the time of sale, (2) prices related to the prevailing market prices or (3) negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell some or all of their Shares through: 13 15 - a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction; - purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account; - an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq National Market; - ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; or - in privately negotiated transactions. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with the distribution of the Shares, the Selling Stockholders may also enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may also: - sell our common stock short and redeliver the Shares to close out such short positions; - enter into option or other types of transactions that require the Selling Stockholder to deliver the Shares to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the Shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction); or - loan or pledge the Shares to a broker-dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). In addition, any Shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders may negotiate and pay broker-dealers commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may allow other broker-dealers to participate in resales. However, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers involved in the sale or resale of the Shares may qualify as "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the broker-dealers' commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters' compensation under the Securities Act. If the Selling Stockholders qualify as "underwriters," they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of Section 153 of the Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the NASD. We will pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale of the Shares to the public other than any commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents and any transfer taxes. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with. We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders, and we have informed them of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the Shares offered hereby. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offer of Shares is made, if required, a Prospectus Supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, 14 16 any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public. The sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders is subject to compliance by the Selling Stockholders with certain contractual restrictions they have with us. There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or any of the Shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In return, these Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify us and certain related persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Palo Alto, California, counsel to Informatica. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements of Informatica Corporation as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in their report with respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing. 15 17 PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 13. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. ITEM 14. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION We will pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale to the public of the shares being registered other than any commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents and any transfer taxes. Such expenses are set forth in the following table. All of the amounts shown are estimates except the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registration fee. AMOUNT TO BE PAID BY REGISTRANT ------------ SEC registration fee $ 106.64 Legal fees and expenses 15,000 Accounting fees and expenses 7,500 Miscellaneous expenses 0 ========== Total $22,606.64 ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Under Section 145 of the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware, we have broad powers to our directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide for mandatory indemnification of our directors and executive officers, and permissive indemnification of its employees and agents, to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the liability of our directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. Pursuant to Delaware law, this includes elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty of care to us and our stockholders. These provisions do not eliminate the directors' duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. We maintain a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the costs of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
