MicroStrategy Announces Fourth Quarter 2008 Financial Results

McLean, Va., (February 02, 2009) –

Revenues of $95 Million and Diluted EPS of $1.17 Per Share

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 (the fourth quarter of its 2008 fiscal year).

Fourth quarter 2008 revenues were $95.0 million versus $95.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. Product licenses revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $28.0 million versus $31.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, a 12% decrease. Product support and other services revenues for MicroStrategy’s core business intelligence (BI) business in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $64.0 million versus $61.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, a 4% increase.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $57.6 million versus $53.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, an 8% increase. The increase in fourth quarter operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in the worldwide employee headcount and related expenses of the Company’s core BI business. During the fourth quarter of 2008, MicroStrategy capitalized $5.5 million in software development costs associated with the anticipated release of its MicroStrategy 9(TM) software, which is expected to be generally available in the first quarter of 2009. MicroStrategy did not capitalize any software development costs during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Income from continuing operations before financing and other income and income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $21.3 million, or 22% of revenue, versus $28.2 million, or 30% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2007. Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $13.8 million, or $1.13 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $18.5 million, or $1.47 on a diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2007. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $14.3 million, or $1.17 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $17.7 million, or $1.41 per share on a diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2007.

As of December 31, 2008, MicroStrategy had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $122.9 million and 9,119,721 shares of class A common stock and 2,770,244 shares of class B common stock outstanding.

MicroStrategy Positioned in “Leaders” Quadrant of Gartner 2009 Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms Report:

In January 2009, MicroStrategy announced that it was positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “leaders” quadrant in the 2009 Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms report. Gartner’s evaluation was based on completeness of vision and ability to execute. Gartner describes “leaders” as “vendors that are reasonably strong in the breadth and depth of their BI platform capabilities, and can deliver on enterprisewide implementations that support a broad BI strategy. Leaders articulate a business proposition that resonates with buyers, supported by the viability and operational capability to deliver on a global basis.”

MicroStrategy Announces MicroStrategy 9:

MicroStrategy recently announced its upcoming software release, MicroStrategy 9, which is expected to be generally available in the first quarter of 2009. The company’s most significant release in nearly a decade, MicroStrategy 9 will deliver new technology and features designed to:

* Extend enterprise BI with enhancements for greater scalability, performance and efficiency;
* Enable rapid development and deployment of departmental BI applications; and
* Provide a seamless consolidation path from departmental BI to enterprise BI.

Extending Enterprise BI

As BI systems grow to thousands of users and hundreds of terabytes of data, maintaining fast query performance can be a tremendous challenge. MicroStrategy 9 includes new adaptive caching technology called In-memory ROLAP, which takes advantage of the large addressable memory now available on 64-bit Unix, Linux and Windows computer servers, and provides a performance-optimized middle-tier database that can respond directly to data requests from reports, dashboards and OLAP analyses. MicroStrategy 9 also introduces new SQL generation optimizations that can greatly improve performance for sophisticated queries involving complex metrics.

As companies merge and expand, there is an increased urgency for business intelligence to span all operations, across business units, across departments and across the globe. This expansion introduces new requirements on BI systems to support global deployments. MicroStrategy 9 offers the ability to present reports, dashboards or OLAP analyses in the local language of business users viewing the information. In addition, MicroStrategy 9 offers numerous capabilities to streamline coordination between development teams working around the globe on the same BI applications.

Rapid Development and Deployment of Departmental BI

MicroStrategy 9 includes significant new architectural components and features designed to support the needs of smaller-scale BI systems for departments and workgroups. MicroStrategy 9 enables departmental BI applications to be set up quickly, providing end users with the ability to create reports and dashboards and distribute information among themselves with little or no IT support.

MicroStrategy’s new Multi-source ROLAP, In-memory ROLAP and rapid metadata creation enables business departments to quickly set up small BI environments, accessing multiple databases without the time-consuming and technically-intensive work of first creating a data mart or data warehouse.

MicroStrategy 9 has numerous new features that make assembling reports simpler and faster. Business users can quickly create their own dashboards using new features in MicroStrategy 9, including out-of-the-box dashboard templates, support for custom-designed templates and new design assistants that aid novice users in creating their own dashboards.

Because of its ROLAP architecture, one of MicroStrategy’s long-standing strengths is the ability of business users to freely investigate the data or “surf” through the data warehouse without having to design a new report for each new combination of data they want to see. MicroStrategy 9 has extended this ability by allowing users to perform these same OLAP manipulations such as pivoting and drilling directly on graphs.

MicroStrategy 9 gives users greater control of report and dashboard distribution with its Distribution Services product. Users can set up report distributions for themselves or for other users, sending reports via e-mail, networked printers, or directly to recipients’ computers or servers. Business users are empowered to create and manage their own information subscriptions, without the intervention of a centralized IT administrator.

Seamless Consolidation from Departmental BI to Enterprise BI

Organizations have a mix of workgroup, departmental and enterprise BI systems, and face the problem of having multiple ‘versions of the truth’ across these BI islands that can undermine the credibility of its BI systems. The solution is to merge the islands of BI into a more cohesive, enterprise-wide BI system gradually and incrementally.

MicroStrategy 9 was designed to enable the easy merger of independent islands of MicroStrategy BI into a larger, more expansive enterprise BI system. Using the new Multi-source ROLAP capability, metadata and reports from departmental BI islands can be gradually merged into larger enterprise BI metadata, without having to move any of the original data into data warehouses or data marts. As a next step, MicroStrategy 9 also enables companies to gradually move their data from disparate databases into the data warehouse simply by “re-pointing” the metadata to access the same data, but at its new location, with no disruption to reports or redesign required.

MicroStrategy Receives TechWeb’s Intelligent Enterprise 2009 Editors’ Choice Award:

MicroStrategy was awarded the 2009 Editors’ Choice Award by TechWeb’s Intelligent Enterprise. Winners of this award are considered by the publication to be the most influential vendors in Enterprise IT for 2009.

According to Intelligent Enterprise, MicroStrategy has “focused on delivering world-class BI with state-of-the-art dynamic dashboards. The MicroStrategy 9 release set for Q1 2009 adds in-memory analysis to speed queries and reduce data-prep dependency on IT. And a new multi-source engine opens up data access while supporting flexible modeling as BI spreads from workgroup to enterprisewide deployments.”
