Commenting on the results, Dr. Mike Lynch, group CEO of Autonomy said, "In a year which has seen many in the IT sector experience significant difficulty, we are pleased to be able to announce Autonomy's increasing profitability. Q4 2002 was our twelfth consecutive quarter of profitability, virtually unmatched in the IT industry. During Q4 revenues and profits increased from Q3 2002. Similarly, Autonomy's adjusted net profits for 2002 increased 32% from 2001, whilst at the same time Autonomy continued to invest in R&D, increasing 10% year-on-year. Autonomy has continued to generate cash, and is using that newly generated cash to conduct its share buyback to further increase shareholder value."
Dr. Lynch continued, "In a marketplace characterized by uncertainty and delay, Autonomy has extended its leadership, brought the benefits of automation to enterprises throughout the world, maintained profitability and generated cash. We continue to remain confident about our prospects, particularly given the ongoing demand from large corporate and government clients buying into our established and new product suites. Our demonstrable ROI enables us to clearly distinguish ourselves in the marketplace. During the year our OEM program delivered excellent results with almost all major new product wins in the sector.
During the year Autonomy demonstrated its dominance of the Intelligence market by achieving the key infrastructure wins in the arenas of Homeland security and Intelligence systems for over 30 intelligence related and classified organizations in the U.S. Such important systems were procured after extensive trials conducted by organizations with considerable expertise in the area. We are now seeing this dominance extend to a number of overseas countries and Autonomy is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for such systems.
In 2002 we pushed our technology into new applications areas, becoming the content back bone for new third-generation mobile telephone systems for Hutchinson 3G and video-management technologies for leading players such as the BBC. Also during the year our voice and telephony products saw uptake in areas from Intelligence to CRM and have now been sold in a number of languages.
2
During the year we increased our R&D spend and remain well placed operationally and financially to take advantage of any change in business climate. At the end of another successful year, the company is well positioned to exploit the opportunities presented by the markets."
