Verity Named Fastest Growing Publicly Held Software Vendor By Fortune Small Business Magazine

Portal Infrastructure Software Company is Fifth Overall - Based on Earnings, Revenue and Stock Return

SUNNYVALE, CA - 2001-06-25 - Verity, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of infrastructure software powering enterprise and e-commerce portals as well as e-business applications, was ranked fifth in Fortune Small Business magazine's inaugural list of the "100 Fastest Growing" publicly held small businesses in America, to be published July 2.

Fortune Small Business ranked the companies based on three criteria: earnings growth, revenue growth and total stock return, including dividends. The rankings were then averaged to find the fastest growers. Verity is the highest ranked software vendor within the list, which limits annual revenue to $200 million. Verity's revenue for its just-concluded fiscal 2001 was a company record $145 million, up 51% from 2000.

"This honor is further validation that Verity has been successfully extending its leadership position in portal infrastructure software," said Anthony Bettencourt, Verity's president. "We're the fastest growing software vendor in this Fortune Small Business survey because our customers and partners recognize and appreciate that no one knows more or does more to help companies power their business portals than Verity."

This is the second time in as many months that Verity has been acknowledged as one of the most notable up-and-coming companies in the software business. In a recent report by Delphi, a leading business advisory group, Verity was listed as the market leader in business portal infrastructure software for the year 2000.
