"I am extremely pleased with our strong performance in the second quarter of 2008," stated John Chen, chairman, CEO and president of Sybase. "We have now delivered three consecutive record quarters, four consecutive quarters exceeding Street consensus revenue, and 16 consecutive quarters exceeding consensus earnings."

Added Mr. Chen, "Our ongoing success is attributable to growing market acceptance of our Unwired Enterprise strategy. We are excited about our prospects for continued growth, driven by our flagship enterprise database, IQ analytics server, mobile middleware, and mobile messaging. Additional growth catalysts expected to enhance our momentum include new offerings such as risk analytics, data clustering, Mobile Office, mobile banking, and next-generation mobile messaging.

"Notwithstanding the macro-economic cross-currents, our business pipeline remains healthy, and we are confident in our team's ability to execute. As a result, we are again raising our 2008 revenue, earnings, and cash flow targets, which put us on track to deliver yet another record full-year performance," concluded Mr. Chen.

Balance Sheet and Other Data

At June 30, 2008, Sybase reported $606.4 million in cash and cash investments, including long-term cash investments of $22.7 million and restricted cash of $3.7 million. In the second quarter, the company generated $62.7 million in cash flow from operations.

There remains $82.9 million authorized under the company's current share repurchase program.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this release concerning Sybase, Inc. and its prospects and future growth are forward-looking and involve a number of uncertainties and risks. Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the performance of the global economy and growth in software industry sales; market acceptance of the company's products and services; customer and industry analyst perception of the company and its technology vision and future prospects; the success of certain business combinations engaged in by the company or by competitors; political unrest or acts of war; possible disruptive effects of organizational or personnel changes; and other factors described in Sybase, Inc.'s reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, Sybase discloses adjusted operating income, net income and net income per share, referred to respectively as "non-GAAP operating income", "non-GAAP net income", and "non-GAAP net income per diluted share". These items, which are collectively referred to as "Non-GAAP Measures", exclude the impact of stock-based compensation, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring costs, non-cash charges related to the impairment of auction rate securities ("ARS"), and the tax effect of these and related items. From time to time, subject to the review and approval of the audit committee of the Board of Directors, we may make other adjustments for expenses and gains that we do not consider reflective of core operating performance in a particular period and may modify the Non-GAAP Measures by excluding these expenses and gains. The Non-GAAP Measures for our Q2 2008 results and full-year 2008 guidance exclude impairment charges for reductions in the carrying value of our auction rate securities.

We define our core operating performance to be the revenues recorded in a particular period and the expenses incurred within that period which management has the capability of directly affecting in order to drive operating income. Non-cash stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring charges and impairment charges to our ARS are excluded from our core operating performance because the decisions which gave rise to these expenses were not made to drive revenue in a particular period, but rather were made for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. While strategic decisions, such as the decisions to issue stock-based compensation, to acquire a company or to restructure the organization, are made to further our long-term strategic objectives and do impact our income statement under GAAP, these items affect multiple periods and management is not able to change or affect these items within any particular period. As such, supplementing GAAP disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure using the Non-GAAP Measures provides management with an additional view of operational performance by excluding expenses that are not directly related to performance in any particular period. Therefore, we exclude these impacts in our planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting of our underlying revenue-generating operations for a particular period.

Prior to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 123 Revised "Share-based Payment" ("FAS 123R") on January 1, 2006, our practice was to exclude stock-based compensation internally to evaluate performance and we presented investors with certain Non-GAAP Measures. With the adoption of FAS 123R, we continue to believe that Non-GAAP Measures can provide relevant disclosure to investors as contemplated by Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 ("SAB 107") and we have presented Non-GAAP Measures that exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, impairment charges to ARS, restructuring costs and the related tax effects. While these items (other than restructuring) are recurring and affect GAAP net income, we do not use them to assess our operational performance for any particular period because (a) these items affect multiple periods and are unrelated to business performance in a particular period; (b) we are not able to change these items in any particular period; and (c) these items do not contribute to the operational performance of our business for any particular period.

We also use Non-GAAP Measures to operate the business because the excluded expenses are not under the control of, and accordingly are not used in evaluating the performance of, operations personnel within their respective areas of responsibility. In the case of stock-based compensation expense, the award of stock options is governed by the stock committee of the Board of Directors and, in the case of acquisition-related intangible assets; acquisitions arise from strategic decisions which are not the responsibility of most levels of operational management. The restructuring charges, like our stock-based compensation charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and write-downs to ARS, are excluded in management's internal evaluations of our operating results and are not considered for management compensation purposes.

In the case of stock-based compensation, our compensation strategy is to use stock-based compensation to attract and retain key employees and executives. It is principally aimed at long term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any particular period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational performance in any particular period. We use annual cash incentive payouts for executives and other employees to motivate and reward the achievement of short-term operational objectives.

We view amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of an acquired company's research and development efforts, customer lists and customer relationships, as items arising from pre-acquisition activities. These are costs that are determined at the time of an acquisition. While it is continually viewed for impairment, amortization of the cost is a static expense, one that is typically not affected by operations during any particular period and does not contribute to operational performance for any particular period.

The cost of restructure charges are excluded in our Non-GAAP Measures because they are significantly different in magnitude and character from routine personnel and facility adjustments that management makes when monitoring and conducting the Company's core operations during any particular period. We have not undertaken restructuring since 2004 and amounts included in cost of restructure in 2006 and subsequently reflect lease termination costs from previously announced restructuring efforts. Our previous restructuring activities and related expenses were not related to operating performance for any particular period, and were not subject to change by management in any particular period. Instead, the prior restructuring was intended to align our business model and expense structure to our position in the market.

The liquidity and fair value of our investments in marketable securities, including auction rate securities, have been negatively impacted by the uncertainty in the credit markets and failed auctions due to a lack of marketability of these securities. As a result, we recorded impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of our ARS investments. The impairment charges related to our ARS investments have been excluded from our non-GAAP results of operations. These impairment charges are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations. We believe that the exclusion of these unique charges provide investors an enhanced view of our operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that do not reflect such charges.

Our historical non-GAAP effective tax rates differ from our GAAP effective tax rates because of (i) the exclusion of the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses and restructuring costs described above, (ii) the exclusion of certain acquired tax attributes, and (iii) the resulting impact on the realization of the Company's other tax assets. We exclude the impact of these discrete tax items from our non-GAAP income tax provision or benefit because management believes that they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.

Because the Non-GAAP Measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they are used by our management as a supplement to, and not an alternative to, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations on the Non-GAAP Measures, including the following:

-- These Non-GAAP Measures do not have standardized meanings and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used or reported by other software or technology companies.

-- The Non-GAAP Measures do not reflect all costs associated with our operations determined in accordance with GAAP. For example:

      Non-GAAP operating margin performance and non-GAAP net
      income do not include stock compensation expense related
      to equity awards granted to our workforce. Our stock
      incentive plans are important components of our employee
      incentive compensation arrangements and are reflected as
      expenses in our GAAP results under FAS 123R. While we
      include the dilutive impact of such equity awards in
      weighted average shares outstanding, the expense
      associated with stock-based awards is excluded from our
      non-GAAP measures.
      Although amortization of acquisition-related intangible
      assets does not directly impact our current cash
      position, such expense represents the declining value of
      the technology or other intangible assets that we have
      acquired. These assets are amortized over their
      respective expected economic lives or impaired, if
      appropriate. The expense associated with this decline in
      value is excluded from our non-GAAP measures and
      therefore non-GAAP measures do not include the costs of
      acquired intangible assets that supplement our research
      and development.
      Restructuring charges in 2006 and subsequently primarily
      represent lease termination costs associated with
      restructuring activities that commenced in 2004 and
      before. Most of the charges are cash expenditures, which
      are excluded from our Non-GAAP Measures.



-- Excluded expenses for stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets will continue to recur and impact the Company's GAAP results. While restructuring costs are non-recurring activities, their occasional occurrence will impact GAAP results. As such, the Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as an inference that the excluded items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Management compensates for these limitations by relying on these Non-GAAP Measures only as a supplement to the Company's GAAP results.
