"We are pleased with our results for the first nine-months of fiscal 2008, which produced revenue growth rates of 13% and EBITDA growth rates of 25% which were in line with the guidance we had been giving for the full fiscal 2008 year. During the quarter, we continued to see strong sales results in our Asia Pacific region and continued traction in sales of our Moldflow Plastics Insight - Enterprise Edition product," commented Roland Thomas, Moldflow's President and CEO.

Thomas continued, "In contrast to our last fiscal year, the third quarter of fiscal 2008 brought a return to our normal seasonal revenue patterns, whereby our third quarter revenues typically decline from that of our second fiscal quarter. This seasonal impact, combined with an unusually robust result in the same period of prior year, contributed to a challenging year-over-year comparison for our third quarter. Focusing on the nine-month result, however, removes some of this seasonal volatility and highlights the overall progress of the business when compared to last year."

Thomas concluded, "On May 1, Moldflow and Autodesk, Inc. announced the signing of a definitive agreement for Autodesk to acquire Moldflow. We believe there are strong synergies between the two companies and we are very excited about the transaction. The combination of Moldflow and Autodesk product offerings will provide our customers with a wider range of solutions to address the challenges they face in the design and manufacture of their injection molded plastic products. The transaction is expected to close during our fourth fiscal quarter, pending the necessary regulatory approvals. Given the pending transaction, we have suspended our historic practice of providing guidance for future periods."
