An Autonomy Review of 2007

2007 was another outstanding year for Autonomy by every measure, with record results driven by strong organic growth, and the ZANTAZ acquisition. Autonomy performed ahead of analyst consensus expectations, driven by the fundamental shift in the IT world towards the usage of unstructured information, and the secondary drivers of regulatory changes such as the US Federal Rules of Civil Procedure resulting in a convergence of legal and operational information systems. Throughout 2007 we consolidated our industry leadership position, and finished the year as the undisputed leader in pan-enterprise search and meaning based computing.

Autonomy continues to deliver strong results:

Solidified position as the industry leader
Winner of the London Stock Exchange Outstanding Achievement Award for the successful acquisition and integration of Verity
Successfully de-merged blinkx division
Re-defined Information Risk Management with the acquisition of ZANTAZ
Announced the next-generation of enterprise search and the introduction of Intelligent Ant technology
Granted Special Security Agreement by US Department of Defense to better service the US DoD and intelligence agencies
De facto standard in OEM market

Evidenced by record Q407 and full year results:

Revenues up 37% to record $343.4m in 2007
32 consecutive quarters of reported profits
Over $90m in cash and no net debt
$62m in R&D investment (up 21% year-on-year)
Profit Before Tax $113.2m (up 64% from 2006)
17,000+ Customers
400+ VARs
350+ OEMs
Market Share Leader for High-End Pan-Enterprise Search
Solid Organic Growth

"Autonomy remains unchallenged as customers seek to comply with new regulatory and compliance requirements" - Seymour Pierce, January 2008

"Autonomy is well exposed to the compliance and litigation market, which is currently a must-have investment area for many companies, especially in the financial services sector" - Merrill Lynch, January 2008

"We believe Autonomy's broad and deep product set, which goes beyond simple Enterprise search and covers the broader meaning-based computing arena (encompassing its flagship IDOL software, together with ZANTAZ's archiving capabilities and the Aungate suite of products), positions it as the only beneficiary of this trend among the pure-play search vendors" - Goldman Sachs, January 2008

"Autonomy is a gorilla in its target areas of enterprise search. Its strong execution in these markets is resulting in positive earnings growth and surprises as these markets go through a structural step change in IT spend" - Panmure Gordon, January 2008

"Autonomy is leading the industry on both complete product offerings and innovation and its success in larger deals will act as a catalyst for more standardization deals and its emergence as the dominant corporate standard." - Citigroup July 2007
