Company News Release

WALTHAM, MA

Up from 38th last year, Phase Forward, a provider of data management solutions for clinical trials and drug safety, has been included in the FORTUNE Small Business 100 list for the second consecutive year. The company ranked 20th among America’s fastest-growing small public companies and is also the top-ranked company in the state of Massachusetts and seventh among the 30 technology companies featured.

To compile the ninth annual list, FORTUNE Small Business asked financial research firm Zacks to screen annual reports for public companies with annual revenue of less than $200 million and a stock price of more than $1. Within that group, companies were ranked based on the past three years’ earnings growth, revenue growth, and stock performance. The list can be found in the July/August issue of FORTUNE Small Business.

“We’re pleased to be recognized by FORTUNE Small Business for the second year, which is a real testament to the caliber and commitment of our employees,” said Bob Weiler, Chairman and CEO, Phase Forward. “This past year has been an incredibly important year for us and we’ve worked hard to further expand our product lines to offer our customers a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to clinical trial data and safety management.”

Phase Forward closed 2008 with record revenues of $170.2 million, up 27 percent from 2007, and announced a 22 percent increase in GAAP revenues for the second quarter of 2009 over the same quarter last year.
