Columbia, Maryland.... MICROS Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:MCRS), a leading supplier of information systems to the hospitality and retail industries, today announced the results for its fiscal 2005 third quarter ended March 31, 2005. Revenue for the quarter was $153.4 million, an increase of $32.4 million, or 26.8%, over the same period last year. Net income for the quarter was $14.2 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 88.6%, over the year ago third quarter. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, were $0.35, an increase of $0.16 per share, or 84.2%, over the year ago earnings of $0.19 per share. The quarterly revenue, net income and earnings per share are Company records.

For the nine-month period ending March 31, 2005, MICROS's revenue was $425.2 million, an increase of $80.6 million, or 23.4%, over the same period in fiscal 2004. Net income for the nine-month period was $35.6 million, an increase of $14.8 million, or 70.8%, over the same period in fiscal 2004. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, were $0.90, an increase of $0.36 per share, or 66.7%, over the earnings of $0.54 per share for the same period in fiscal 2004. The earnings per share results reflect the February 2005 two-for-one stock split, effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend.

Tom Giannopoulos, MICROS's Chairman and CEO, stated, "The record financial results reflect the strength of our products and services in our market segments: hotels, restaurants, and specialty retail. We look forward to a strong fourth quarter and another record year for revenue, net income and earnings per share."
