CHICAGO (May 02, 2006) –

Allscripts (Nasdaq:MDRX), the leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare, today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was a record $42.2 million, compared to $26.2 million for the same period last year. Revenue from software and related services for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was a record $28.3 million, compared to $14.3 million for the same period last year, increasing by approximately 98%.

Gross margin percentage was 47.7% for the first quarter of 2006, compared to 46.4% during the first quarter of 2005.

On March 2, 2006, Allscripts finalized the acquisition of A4 Health Systems, Inc. The Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 include A4’s results for March.

Cash earnings for the period ended March 31, 2006 was $6.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period last year, an increase of approximately 117%. Cash earnings are comprised of operating income giving effect to the add-back of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time A4 integration costs, and net interest income or expense. A reconciliation of cash earnings and cash earnings per diluted share to GAAP earnings and GAAP earnings per diluted share is included as part of this press release.

Net income for the three-months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $66.8 million. This amount reflects $141 million of net proceeds received in February 2006 related to the issuance of 8.4 million shares of Allscripts common stock, a total of approximately $231 million paid in connection with the acquisition of A4, and $21.1 million paid to IDX Investment Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of GE, to repurchase 1.25 million shares of Allscripts common stock.

“Our first quarter results confirm the continuing momentum for our solutions in the market,” said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. “In addition, our acquisition of A4 Health Systems, which we announced and completed during the quarter, adds substantially to our market position, supplements our sales, accelerates earnings, and doubles the size of our sales force, while broadening our product portfolio and opening up new markets for us. The bottom line is that our leadership position in the market has never been more solid and our ability to deliver has never been more promising.”
