Harris Massey Herinckx (503) 626-9700 (503) 295-1922 ANALOGY REPORTS 27% REVENUE GROWTH IN FISCAL FIRST QUARTER Beaverton, Oregon -- July 21, 1997 -- Analogy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANLG) today announced its financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1997. Revenues increased by 27% from the first quarter a year ago, and the company's net loss was substantially reduced from the prior year's first quarter level. Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $5,986,000, an increase of 27% over the total for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 of $4,716,000. Product license revenue increased 32% to $3,525,000, and service and other revenue increased 20% to $2,461,000. The net loss in the fiscal 1998 first quarter was $410,000, compared with a net loss of $709,000 in the first quarter a year ago. The loss per share for the 1998 first fiscal quarter was $0.04 based on a weighted average of 9,127,000 shares outstanding. The fiscal 1997 first quarter loss per share was $0.09, based on a weighted average of 8,311,000 shares outstanding. "While we are disappointed that we did not achieve profitability in the quarter," said Gary Arnold, chairman and president of Analogy, "we continue to expect year-over-year revenue growth as we go through the year, with improving profitability especially in the second half of the year. This quarter's 27% revenue growth rate is in line with our expectations for the long-run potential growth rate for our business. This quarter's revenue growth was fueled by continued good customer acceptance of our new SaberDesigner suite of products for the Windows NT operating system. Our growth was also broad-based, with a continued expansion of the end-user base and limited concentration of orders from any single large customer."
