OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPNT), a leading provider of management software for networks and applications, today announced that it has been ranked seventh in the Cape Horn Strategies 2005 Sustained Success Honor Roll. The honor roll tracks successful software companies based on long-term financial performance. The report compares the financial performance of all 552 publicly traded software companies on the U.S. stock exchanges in 2004 and shows that OPNET is one of seven software companies to have recorded at least ten consecutive years of growth and profitability. Other software companies in the ranking included Microsoft, #1 with 24 years of profitable growth, and Business Objects, #4 with 12 years of profitable growth. According to the report, "Of all the software companies on the U. S. stock exchanges -- NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ -- only 17 out of 552 in 2004 managed to achieve a record of five consecutive years or more of profitable growth. This year no company dropped from the Honor Roll, a positive indication of better health in our industry. For the Honor Roll members growth was outstanding. Not including Microsoft, the group had an annual growth rate of 34%, growing from $5.5 billion to $7.4 billion." Marc A. Cohen, OPNET's Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are very pleased to be ranked in the Sustained Success Honor Roll once again.
