Day Software License Revenue Jumps 70% in Q3.

Global Demand for CQ5 Platform Accelerates with Major New Customer Wins

BASEL, Switzerland & NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Day Software (SIX:DAYN) (OTCQX:DYIHY), a leading provider of content management and content infrastructure software, today announced its interim financial results for Q3 2009 with a 70% increase in license revenue over Q3 2008. Day's Q3 license growth led to a 37% increase in year-to-date license revenue over the corresponding period for 2008, up from 26% license revenue growth from Day's reported 1H 2009 financial results.

Day's Q3 license growth was driven by major new competitive wins and increased installed based investment in Day's CQ5 Web Content Management platform and new CQ5 Digital Asset Management (DAM) and Social Collaboration (SoCo) modules. Globally, Day saw continued strength across all major markets, with a resurgent U.K. operation under Day's newly installed team achieving record growth to become Day's second-largest market in Q3 after the United States (U.S.).

Eleven new customers joined the Day community in Q3. In North America, Day added Newsweek (U.S.), Ingersoll-Rand (U.S.), and Government of New Brunswick (Canada). In Europe, Day's new teams added WGSN (U.K.), Prenatal (Italy), and Esselunga (Italy). Also in Europe, Day saw new wins at both Fraunhofer (Germany) and Sympany (Switzerland).

Nine existing customers upgraded and expanded the use of CQ5. Major customer reinvestment in Day in Q3 included Clifford Chance and Audi in the U.K., La Banque Postale in France, and Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Singapore. In the U.S., Day also saw renewed investment by major customers Nissan, Williams-Sonoma and Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG).

"I am pleased to see that market interest in CQ5's open, modular architecture and fun-of-use continues to drive customer traction across all major sales regions," says Erik Hansen, CEO of Day Software. "I am particularly pleased to see the strong contribution to growth from the U.K. and the early returns to our dedication and focused investment in building a strong U.K. operation."

Hansen concluded, "We continue to see a general trend towards migrating from legacy Web 1.0 systems to new, modern content management (CMS) platforms like CQ5. This was an excellent start to the second half of the year, and we see an improved outlook for our financial performance through the end of the year."
