CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwired - May 29, 2013) - Pegasystems Inc. (
Now in its 25 th year, the Globe 100 ranks the top 100 public companies in Massachusetts based on their overall financial performance. Companies are ranked based on four criteria that includes return on average equity, one-year percentage increase in revenue, one-year percentage increase in annual profit margin, and total 2012 annual revenue. The list continues to reflect the local and national economic climate. In 2010 and 2011, there were actually fewer than 100 companies on the list due to lower profits during the downturn. Last year marked the first time since 2009 that the Globe 100 list was at "full strength."

"Several companies on this year's list did not even exist when it debuted in 1989. In fact it's quite possible those companies employ people who weren't even born in 1989."
