Leadership Attributes Strong Customer Focus, Ongoing Product Innovation and Powerful Partnerships to Its 168 Percent Revenue Growth: Callidus Software, the leader in Enterprise Incentive Management (EIM), has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Silicon Valley, a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001-2005. Callidus Software's increase in revenues of 168 percent from 2001 to 2005 resulted in a #38 ranking in the Software & Information Technology category of the Technology Fast 50 for Silicon Valley. "Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional accomplishment. We commend Callidus Software for making the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity. We applaud the successes of Callidus and acknowledge it as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years," said Mark Jensen, National Director of the Venture Capital Services Group for Deloitte & Touche LLP in San Jose. Callidus Software's president and CEO, Robert Youngjohns, credits Callidus' customer focus, partnerships and the development of innovative and market-leading solutions that provide real value to customers in a broad range of industries including financial services, communications and high-technology with the company's 168 percent revenue growth from 2001-2005. Said Youngjohns: "Once more, Callidus ranks as the only EIM vendor on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and underscores its position as the leader for incentive and sales performance management solutions. This recognition provides validation to Callidus' leadership position in sales performance and incentive management and underlines our ongoing commitment to providing customers with best-of-breed solutions for aligning sales strategy with corporate objectives and driving revenue." To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify. Winners of the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
