Ranking of Fastest-Growing Technology Companies With
12,134 Percent Growth Over Five Years
Maryland Technology Fast 50 Winners Experience
Average Revenue Growth of 904% Percent
MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- United Therapeutics Corporation tops
the list of the fastest growing technology companies in Maryland as recognized
by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services
firms, at an award event held October 7 at The DC ESPN Zone. Called the
"Maryland Technology Fast 50," the annual award program ranks by revenue
growth technology companies located in Maryland.
"In an era where technology companies come and go, making the Deloitte &
Touche Fast 50 is a testament to a company's vision that allows growth over a
five-year period," said Gary Tabach, Managing Partner in the Technology, Media
& Telecommunications (TMT) Group at Deloitte based in McLean, VA. "The Fast
50 winners have proven they have a winning strategy for growth and we at
Deloitte salute their accomplishments."
Winners are selected based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year
revenues from 1999 to 2003. To be considered, Fast 50 entrants must have met
the following criteria: Have revenues of at least $50,000 in 1999 and at
least $1,000,000 in 2003. Be public or private companies, headquartered in
Maryland. Subsidiaries and divisions are not eligible, unless they have some
public ownership and are separately traded. Be a "technology company" defined
as owning proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of
the company's operating revenues (using other companies' technology in a
unique way does not qualify); and/or devoting a significant proportion of
revenues to research and development of technology. Wilmer, Cutler,
Pickering, Hale and Dorr is the sponsor for the 2004 Maryland Technology Fast
50 and PR Newswire is the official media partner.
