("Autonomy" or "the Company"), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that it expects revenues and earnings for the first quarter of 2005 to be considerably ahead of market consensus estimates for revenues and earnings and above the range of Q1 2005 revenue forecasts of $16 million to $18 million discussed during the Company's fourth quarter 2004 conference call in January 2005. Autonomy reported revenues of $16.4 million and earnings of $0.02 for the first quarter of 2004.

Commenting on trading in the first quarter of the current financial year, Dr. Mike Lynch, Group CEO of Autonomy said today: "We are pleased to announce that our first quarter 2005 results are expected to show good growth and strength.

These results are preliminary and subject to the usual quarterly financial review by Autonomy's independent auditors.

Results for the first quarter of 2005 will be announced on 20th April 2005. A teleconference call to discuss these results will be hosted on 20th April 2005, at 9.30am BDT.
