IXOS SOFTWARE AG announced today the

months of fiscal 2001.  The Company generated revenues of Euros 29.1m

2.9m), earnings per share totaled Euros  0.26 (Q3 2000: loss of Euro
0.15 per share). IXOS successfully reduced total costs in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 by 25% as compared with the same period in the
prior year and could thereby report operating profits of Euros 2.2m
(Q3 2000: loss of Euro 7.4m).
In the completed nine month period, IXOS posted revenues of Euros
86,7m  (9M 2000: Euros 78.7m).  The operating costs were reduced by
13% to total Euros 56.9m (9M 2000: Euros 65.6m). Operating profits

operating losses were booked. In the first nine months of fiscal

fiscal year 2001.
