BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR FIRST QUARTER 2004

Manhattan Associates currently intends to publish, in each quarterly earnings
release, certain expectations with respect to future financial performance. The
following statements regarding future financial performance are based on current
expectations, which includes a modestly improving spending environment for
information technology. These statements




are forward looking. Actual results may differ materially, especially in the
current uncertain economic environment. These statements do not reflect the
potential impact of mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations that
may be completed after the date of this release.

Manhattan Associates will make its earnings release and published expectations
available on its Web site (www.manh.com). Beginning March 15, 2004, Manhattan
Associates will observe a "Quiet Period" during which Manhattan Associates and
its representatives will not comment concerning previously published financial
expectations. Prior to the start of the Quiet Period, the public can continue to
rely on the expectations published in this Business Outlook section as still
being Manhattan Associates' current expectation on matters covered, unless
Manhattan Associates publishes a notice stating otherwise. The public should not
rely on previously published expectations during the Quiet Period, and Manhattan
Associates disclaims any obligation to update any previously published financial
expectations during the Quiet Period. The Quiet Period will extend until the
date when Manhattan Associates' next quarterly earnings release is published,
presently scheduled for the fourth week of April 2004.

For the year ending December 31, 2004, Manhattan Associates currently expects to
achieve adjusted earnings, which excludes the amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles in the range of $0.91 to $1.04 per fully diluted
share and GAAP earnings per share of $0.83 to $0.96 per fully diluted share.
These expectations assume that the current general economic and capital spending
environment will improve modestly over the course of the year.
