The privately held company posted record revenues, record profitability and reported a continued increase in enterprise-wide deployments of its software. Metastorm experienced 22% growth in total revenues year-over-year on a proforma basis, and recognized a 50% increase in software license revenues from the same quarter last year. Metastorm added 44 new customers to its portfolio in Q3, including DISH Network (U.S.), Johnson Controls (U.S.), PSCU Financial Services (U.S.), Rompetrol (Romania), Sec Servizi (Italy), In August 2008, Metastorm successfully completed the integration of Metastorm Discovery(TM) - the software acquired through Metastorm's acquisition of Spotlight Data in December 2007 - with the Metastorm ProVision(R) enterprise modeling and business process analysis suite. Metastorm Discovery has become a key component of Metastorm ProVision, giving customers a formal tool to support process discovery and data capture on "as-is" processes which can then be analyzed and improved in Metastorm ProVision to eliminate inefficiencies, improve productivity and increase operational effectiveness.

In addition Metastorm was recognized by both the Deloitte & Metastorm's ability to sell into three growing markets - EA, BPA, and BPM - combined with its proven track record of delivering results and customer success has had a very positive impact on the performance of the company that culminated in the filing of Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in May 2008 announcing Metastorm's intent to pursue an initial public offering. Last week, Metastorm withdrew its registration statement on Form S-1 as filed with the SEC due to the volatile capital market conditions. Withdrawing the S-1 removes the overhead and legal restrictions associated with SEC regulations and will allow Metastorm to continue to execute on strategic initiatives and pursue potential acquisition opportunities to expand its product offerings and support continued growth. The company will consider re-filing when market conditions improve.
