Verity Anticipates Record Fourth Quarter Revenues

Estimated Revenues In Line with Prior Company Guidance

Sunnyvale, Calif. - 2001-06-07 - Verity, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of infrastructure software powering enterprise and e-commerce portals as well as e-business applications, today announced it expects to report record revenues for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended May 31, 2001. The Company anticipates reporting revenues of approximately $41 million for the quarter, an increase of approximately 35 percent over the same period last year. This is consistent with revenue projections provided by the Company on March 14, 2001. Revenues for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2001 are expected to show growth of about 51 percent over the prior year.

"To be able to report that Verity's expected fourth-quarter revenues will be consistent with guidance provided during our last quarterly earnings briefing is very satisfying," said Gary J. Sbona, Verity's chairman and chief executive officer. "Normally we would not pre-announce preliminary results that are consistent with our guidance, but current marketplace conditions plus disappointing performances of several companies in our sector prompted us to take this action."

These results are preliminary, subject to the Company closing its books and the Company's management and independent auditors completing their customary year-end review. Verity plans to announce actual results June 20, 2001.
