Interactive Intelligence Reports Third-Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Growth of cloud business continues to be strong with cloud-based orders increasing 53 percent to
41 percent of total orders

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1, 2012 -- Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of unified IP business communications solutions, has announced operating results for its three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012.

“We continue to execute well against our operating plan,” said Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO, Dr. Donald Brown. “We are successfully moving up-market, winning business with some of the world’s largest global companies, and continuing to take advantage of the market shift toward cloud-based contact center deployments. The number of new cloud-based customers in the third quarter of 2012 was the highest in our company’s history and it’s growing at a rate that’s significantly outpacing the market.

“The shift to our cloud model is accelerating and will continue to result in more revenues being deferred to future quarters leading to greater overall growth of recurring revenues,” continued Brown. “We remain committed to investing in our sales, marketing and development infrastructure to accelerate the momentum in the business, which we expect to lead to further market share gains and increased shareholder value. Given our strong and growing pipeline of opportunities worldwide in the fourth quarter, we now expect cloud-based orders to represent more than 35 percent of total orders in 2012, up from our previous expectation of 30 to 32 percent. We are maintaining our full-year total order growth target of 20 percent.”

Non-GAAP operating income was $4.3 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared to $20.6 million in the first nine months of 2011. The year-over-year decline in operating income resulted from revenues being deferred to future quarters and the increased investment in sales, marketing, and research and development to expand the company’s product leadership and share in the cloud-based market.

Non-GAAP Measures
The non-GAAP measures shown in this release include revenue which was not recognized on a GAAP basis due to purchase accounting adjustments and exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense for stock options, the amortization of certain intangible assets related to acquisitions by the company and non-cash income tax expense. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included with the financial information included in this press release. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions are non-cash and certain amounts of income tax expense are non-cash. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP results, when shown in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends related to the company's results of operations. Further, management believes that these non-GAAP measures improve management's and investors' ability to compare the company's financial performance with other companies in the technology industry. Because stock-based compensation expense, non-cash income tax expense amounts and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions can vary significantly between companies, it is useful to compare results excluding these amounts. Management also uses financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, non-cash income tax amounts and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions for its internal budgets.

Forward Looking Statements
This release may contain certain forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: rapid technological changes in the industry; the company's ability to maintain profitability; to manage successfully its growth; to manage successfully its increasingly complex third-party relationships resulting from the software and hardware components being licensed or sold with its solutions; to maintain successful relationships with certain suppliers which may be impacted by the competition in the technology industry; to maintain successful relationships with its current and any new partners; to maintain and improve its current products; to develop new products; to protect its proprietary rights adequately; to successfully integrate acquired businesses; and other factors described in the company's SEC filings, including the company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
