MICROS REPORTS FISCAL 2006 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
RECORD FIRST QUARTER REVENUE, NET INCOME AND EPS
REVENUE, NET INCOME AND EPS EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

Columbia, Maryland.  MICROS Systems, Inc.  (Nasdaq:MCRS), a leading supplier of information systems to the hospitality and retail industries, today announced the results for its fiscal 2006 first quarter ended September 30, 2005.

          FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

-Commencing this quarter, MICROS implemented the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R) (“FASB 123R”), “Share-based Payments,” which became effective July 1, 2005. The statement requires companies to expense the fair value of grants made under stock option programs over the vesting period of the options.  The expense is a non-cash transaction. The Company adopted the “Modified Prospective Application” transition method that does not result in restatement of previously issued financial statements.  MICROS will report its net income and earnings per share during fiscal year 2006 on both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (which includes the share-based payment charge, which represents the non-cash stock option expense) and non-GAAP (which excludes the share-based payment charge, which represents the non-cash stock option expense) bases in order to facilitate analysis of the business and meaningful period-to-period comparisons.

-Revenue for the quarter was $152.0 million, an increase of $22.0 million, or 17.0%, over the same period last year.  Revenue exceeded consensus expectations and was above MICROS’s first quarter guidance.

-GAAP net income for the quarter was $12.4 million.

-GAAP EPS, per diluted share, was $0.30 per share.

-Net income, before the share-based payment charge, a non-GAAP measure, was $13.6 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 41.2% over the same period last year.

-EPS, per diluted share, before the share-based payment charge, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.34 per share, an increase of $0.09 per share, or 36.0% over the same period last year.

-Net income and earnings per diluted share, before the share-based payment charge, exceeded consensus expectations and were above first quarter guidance.

-MICROS’s financial results were Company records for the first fiscal quarter.

Tom Giannopoulos, MICROS’s Chairman and CEO, stated: “We are encouraged by our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, which exceed consensus expectations and our own guidance.  We are pleased with the numerous major customer wins we have announced this quarter and the continued acceptance of our products and services worldwide.”

MICROS’s guidance for its fiscal 2006 second quarter ending December 31, 2005 is for revenue between $160.0 million and $163.0 million, and GAAP net income between $12.8 million and $13.8 million. Guidance for net income, excluding the currently projected share-based payment charge for the second fiscal quarter, is between $14.5 million and $15.5 million.

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents MICROS’s net income and earnings per diluted share, before the share-based payment charge, which is the non-cash stock option expense. This non-GAAP presentation of net income and earnings per share is provided to enhance the understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance and comparability between periods. The Company believes this presentation provides useful information, particularly during the transition period when many companies have not yet adopted the provisions of FASB 123R.

MICROS’s stock is traded through NASDAQ under the symbol MCRS.  Some of the statements contained herein not based on historic facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  An example of a forward looking statement includes the statements in the paragraphs above where MICROS provides guidance for its fiscal 2006 second quarter ending December 31, 2005, and its fiscal 2006 year ending June 30, 2006.  MICROS is subject to, among others, the following uncertainties and risks: product demand and market acceptance; impact of competitive products and pricing on margins; product development delays and technological difficulties; controlling expenses as MICROS continues to expand; the ability to obtain on acceptable terms the right to incorporate in MICROS’s products and services technology patented by others; the risk that there are actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in MICROS’s products; adverse results in legal disputes resulting in liabilities that exceed reserves; unanticipated tax liabilities; the effects of terrorist activity and armed conflict; the effects of major environmental disasters, such as hurricanes and tsunamis; weakening in general economic conditions that adversely affect demand for computer hardware or software; and currency fluctuations.

All information in this release is as of October 27, 2005.  MICROS undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in MICROS’s expectations.
