Deloitte's 2009 Technology Fast 500(TM) Ranks Wave as 50th Fastest Growing Company in North America



LEE, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/23/09 -- Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX) today announced that it ranked number 50 on Deloitte's 2009 Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America. In 2008 Wave ranked number 74 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™. Rankings for 2009 are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth over five years, from 2004-2008. Wave's revenue grew 4,115% during this period.

Wave's President and CEO, Steven K. Sprague, attributed the five-year revenue growth to increased sales of its hardware-based endpoint security solutions. Wave also benefited from the steadfast support of its partners including Acer, Dell, Intel, and Seagate Technology.

"We believe that Wave's placement on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™ for the second year in a row reflects growing global awareness and support for hardware security solutions," Sprague said. "I'd like to thank our valued partners for their support in helping Wave achieve this recognition."

"Technology Fast 500™ recognizes innovative companies that have broken down barriers to success and defied the odds with their remarkable five-year revenue growth," said Phil Asmundson, Vice Chairman and U.S. Technology and Telecommunications leader, Deloitte LLP. "We congratulate Wave on this accomplishment."

"With its impressive five-year growth, Wave has earned its position among the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America," said Mark Jensen, Managing Partner, Technology and Venture Capital Services, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "Deloitte is proud to honor Wave for its achievement."

Overall, the Technology Fast 500™ for 2009 had growth rates ranging from 212 to 146,050 percent over five years, with an average growth rate of 2,486 percent.

Technology Fast 500™ Selection and Qualifying

Technology Fast 500™ provides a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America. This ranking is compiled from nominations submitted directly to the Technology Fast 500™ website, and public company database research conducted by Deloitte. Technology Fast 500™ award winners for 2009 are selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth during the five-year period from 2004 to 2008.

In order to be eligible for Technology Fast 500™ recognition, companies must own proprietary intellectual property or proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not satisfy this requirement. Consulting companies, professional services firms, etc. are not eligible unless they have proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of their operating revenues.

Technology Fast 500™ award eligibility requirements also include base-year operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD or CD, and current-year operating revenues of at least $5 million USD or CD. These revenues must have more than doubled between 2004 and 2008. Additionally, companies must be in business for a minimum of five years, and be headquartered within North America.

Wave Q3 Revenues Rose 164% to $4.8 Million With Record Total Billings of $5.2 Million


Q3'09 Was Wave's Second Consecutive Quarter of Positive EBITDAS


LEE, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/09/09 -- Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX) (www.wave.com) today reported results for the third quarter (Q3) and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and reviewed recent corporate progress and developments.

Principally reflecting higher bundled software royalties, services revenue and increased software upgrade sales, Wave's Q3 2009 net revenues rose 164% to $4.8 million, compared with Q3 2008 net revenues of $1.8 million. Q3 '09 net revenues rose 1% over Q2 '09 due to a 7% increase in licensing revenue that more than offset a decline in services revenue related to the completion of a government contract in Q3 '09. Total billings for Q3 2009 grew 13% to $5.2 million compared to Q2 '09 and grew 126% as compared to Q3 '08. A reconciliation of total billings to total net revenues is provided below.

Reflecting ongoing cost reduction efforts aimed at improving Wave's cash flow from operations, Q3 '09 SG&A expense declined by 27% to $2.9 million from $4.0 million in Q3 '08, while research and development expenses were reduced by 35% to $2.1 million from $3.2 million in Q3 '08. On a sequential basis, Q3 '09 SG&A was in line with Q2 '09 SG&A while research and development expense increased 15% from $1.8 million in Q2 '09 as a result of required investments in product development.

Wave's Q3 '09 net loss was $479,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared with a Q3 '08 net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, and Wave's Q2 2009 net loss of $344,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Per-share figures are based on a weighted average number of basic shares outstanding in the third quarters of 2009 and 2008 of 71.8 million and 57.9 million, respectively, and 66.4 million in the second quarter of 2009.

To highlight its operational performance on a cash-flow basis, Wave reports EBITDAS, a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. For Q3 '09 Wave reported its second consecutive quarter of positive EBITDAS. Q3 '09 EBITDAS was $60,000, compared to negative EBITDAS of $5.0 million in Q3 '08. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDAS is provided below.

As of September 30, 2009, Wave had total current assets of $5.2 million as compared to $2.4 million at June 30, 2009 and compared with $2.9 million at December 31, 2008. Wave's deferred revenue rose to $1.6 million at September 30 as compared with $1.2 million at the end of Q2 '09.

Steven Sprague, President and CEO of Wave Systems, commented, "Having achieved year-over-year and quarterly growth in our software licensing sales, despite ongoing challenges in tech sector spending, Wave was able to report total net revenue of $4.8 million in Q3 '09, as well as record total billings of $5.2 million. Of equal importance, Wave achieved positive EBITDAS for the second straight quarter."

"We continue to see encouraging interest in our EMBASSY security solutions for managing self-encrypting hard drives," Sprague added. "Shipments of our EMBASSY Trusted Drive Manager with self-encrypting drives sold by our OEM customers increased 42 percent in Q3 '09 versus Q2 '09. While the shipment volumes remain relatively modest, we are pleased with our continued progress on this front.

"In Q3 '09, our billings attributable to upgrades to our EMBASSY Remote Administration Server (ERAS) grew 98 percent over Q2 '09. We completed ERAS upgrade sales across market segments in the U.S. and Europe, including advertising, aerospace, construction, finance, government, healthcare, IT, legal, non-profit, utilities and telecommunications. In addition, we completed an installation of EMBASSY software for the management of Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) to strengthen the security of user certificates for one of the world's largest professional services firms.

"Finally, we recently reported a $1.6 million professional services contract from a U.S. government agency which followed an earlier $786,000 services contract completed in Q3 '09. We continue to actively support their review and analysis of trusted computing solutions," Sprague concluded.

Summary of Recent Progress/Developments:


-- In September Wave announced its participation in the first open pilot
program to enable the public to register and participate in government
websites without creating new user names and passwords. Wave joined
Yahoo!, PayPal, Google, Equifax, AOL, Citi and others in offering solutions
based on OpenID and Information Card technologies. Wave developed a
service that combined the hardware security of the TPM with open identities
for secure, single sign-on access to Web services, utilizing OpenID and
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).

-- At Digital ID World in September Wave released and demonstrated a beta
version of id.wave.com, its new identity service for strong authentication
and single-sign on to Web services and applications in the Cloud.
id.wave.com takes advantage of the TPM security chip to secure users'
authentication identities with keys held in the TPM.

-- During the Intel Developers Forum in San Francisco, Wave demonstrated
remote, out-of-band management of self-encrypting drives using Intel®
vPro(TM) Technology with Wave's EMBASSY® client and server software. The
solution allows a secure network unlock of the drives automatically by an
administrator, regardless of whether the PC is powered on or not and
independent of the operating system.

-- Systems integrator NCI Information Systems (NCI) named Wave Systems as
one of its subcontractors for the U.S. General Services Administration
(GSA) Alliant prime contract.

-- Wave continued to ramp its global marketing efforts demonstrating at
GITEX Technology Week in Dubai at Dell's booth. The show, which attracted
more than 100,000 attendees, is one of the world's largest information
technology exhibitions. Wave showcased its advanced lifecycle management
tools for self-encrypting drives available directly from Dell.

-- Wave's eSignSystems division was named to Mortgage Technology
magazine's elite "Lasting Impact Award," recognizing eSign for its
contributions to the burgeoning electronic mortgage space.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

As supplemental information, we provide the non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as total billings and EBITDAS. Total billings is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP total net revenues. Total billings means the sum of total net revenues determined in accordance with GAAP, plus the increase or minus the decrease in deferred revenue. We consider total billings an important measure of our financial performance, as we believe it best represents the continued increase in our software license upgrades. Total billings is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and, as calculated by us, may not be consistent with computations of total billings by other companies. EBITDAS is defined as net income (loss) before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash flows, as EBITDAS is not defined by GAAP. However, we regard EBITDAS as a complement to net income (loss) and other GAAP financial performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow.
