Press Release Summary = New Module for Hyperion System 9 Extends BPM Leader's Suite
of Packaged Solutions Designed to Integrate Financial and Operational Planning


Press Release Body = Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 21, 2006: Hyperion
(Nasdaq Global Select: HYSL), the global leader in Business Performance Management
software (BPM), today unveiled Hyperion System 9 Capital Expense Planning, the
industry's first packaged solution focused on automating the entire process of
planning for capital asset-related expenses, for the first time in the Middle East
at Gitex Dubai 2006.

A module with both pre-built functionality and flexible customization tools, Capital
Expense Planning extends the capabilities of Hyperion System 9 Planning software.
Capital Expense Planning enables both financial and operational planners to
collaboratively manage capital assets and related expenses. As a result, planners
can instantly assess the impact a specific capital expense might have on general
expense plans and financial statements - and take immediate action when necessary.
The new module is built on Hyperion's integrated business planning framework, which
helps to ensure accurate forecasts and enhances predictability.

Capital Expense Planning represents a dramatic improvement over simplified template
solutions for forecasting, budgeting or planning because it delivers pre-built
functionality that encompasses best practices, lowers implementation time and
expense, and enables organizations to customize their capital asset expense planning
application to meet unique business requirements.

"Hyperion System 9 Release 9.3 really comes through for finance teams charged with
managing capital assets from planning all the way to retirement or sale," said Thai
Nguyen, financial systems manager at Ask.com. "The new Capital Expense Planning
module empowers managers to see an asset from nearly every helpful angle. Powerful
tools like this have a bottom-line impact on organizations trying to rein in costs
and maximize their asset use."

"Although accurate and predictable forecasts are vital for any organization, many
finance groups still rely on manual spreadsheets or customized applications to
facilitate the planning process, with only limited involvement from the cost
centers," said Hisham Malak, Channel and Marketing Manager at HSME, Hyperion\'s
Middle East Distributor. "Capital Expense Planning is the first packaged application
to fully automate the capital expense planning process and to create a collaborative
environment in which finance and business operations work together to improve plan
accuracy, predictability and accountability. By eliminating manual, time-consuming,
redundant and error-prone spreadsheets, enterprises can trim planning cycle time,
leaving more time to focus on analysis."

Capital Expense Planning provides financial and operational planners with an
automated framework within which they can jointly plan for capital assets and
related expenses. Planners can maintain granular control over capital expenses with
pre-built functionality that enables them to:
. Set global assumptions, such as useful life, depreciation and amortization
methods, and cash flow and funding incidences;
. Calculate depreciation and amortization;
. Plan for the addition of new tangible and intangible assets;
. Modify existing capital assets with improvements, impairments, and retirements;
. Transfer capital assets from one cost center to another using multiple methods;
. Plan for capital-asset-related expenses, such as costs of maintenance, repair, and
insurance; and
. Visualize the impact of capital asset expenses on the income statement, balance
sheet and cash flow statement in real time.

Because the new module is part of Hyperion's integrated business planning framework,
all data entered via Capital Expense Planning is automatically integrated within an
organization's main plan generated in Planning, so any change made in the module is
instantly reflected in the general expense plan. This shared, real-time access
allows planners to efficiently review the effect capital expense plan modifications
can have on the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and general
expenses.

The new module also includes customization tools and capabilities so planners can
modify - or even completely redefine - any of the pre-built functionality, such as
calculations, accounts and menus based on their unique business requirements.

The Capital Expense Planning module also features dependable, built-in security
protection for data, calculations and global settings. Flexible settings can enable
one planner to view data for a single cost center only, whereas another planner may
be able to view, add, delete, retire or transfer capital assets across the entire
organization.

Hyperion System 9 Capital Expense Planning is planned for release in the next
calendar quarter. The timing of any product release, including any features or
functionality, is subject to change at Hyperion's discretion.
