Key Investment Considerations

• Global Growth Cycle. Besides Micros’ vast opportunity in North America, they operate in 33 countries at the same time the emerging market economies are growing high single digits in GDP. Every time Yum Brands opens a Pizza Hut in China or a Burger King franchisee decides to go to efficient software versus human inefficiency, Micros generates revenue. There is a global growth machine and Micros is the best hospitality technology vendor to help large customers fuel their growth.

• Micros dominates an extremely fragmented industry. Oracle and SAP are busy fighting over business intelligence and middleware companies. They may actually own some good technology in this space, but customers can’t count on them to support a mission critical product 24/7 around the world. That is the unique service you get from Micros.

• Bolt-on acquisitions help further growth. Micros has done 7 accretive acquisitions in 2006 and 2007. The largest sector that was improved was retail with Red Sky IT, eOne and CommercialWare. They also purchased 3 of their dealers and distributors. Micros still has plenty of cash and is buying stock while looking for more small companies that would fit.

• Strong Management Team. This is one of the least promotional groups I have ever seen, but each senior member together at least 10 years, some for over 20. CEO Tom Giannopoulos has recruited a world class management team who is very focused and differentiated in their global expertise and experience.

Valuation We are initiating coverage of MICROS, Inc (MCRS), and have arrived at a one-year price target of $80 per share. Using industry averages, we see a 28% 3 to 5 year growth rate for Micros, a discount to the 36 multiple for fast growing application software companies. We are giving Micros a big discount versus the group on C2008 estimates despite its strong execution over many years, as well as their new initiatives, new organic and acquisition related business, and their time tested management. Using a 28 multiple, and our forecasted EPS of $2.85 for Calendar Year 2008, we are left with our price target of $80.00 per share.

The profits have been maintainable due to management's superior execution of maintaining gross margins around 53%. This, in turn, helped the cash position grow quarter over quarter for the last eight quarters. We also believe that there is room for the margins to grow as more of MICROS' business becomes software related.

Still Plenty of Market Opportunity Left Even though MICROS has an installed base of 200,000 units in the restaurant industry, out of the approximately 1.5 million restaurants worldwide, there is still room to grow. As the graph on below shows, only 10% to 40% of the independent restaurants have an advanced information technology infrastructure in place. MICROS sells to restaurateurs as small as $450,000 in revenue a year, with most of its customers having revenue in the range of $1.5 million to $3 million. MICROS' software helps the restaurant control operations by monitoring and forecasting labor and inventory costs, and improving their customer's experiences.

Source: Micros The Global Hotel Market is another opportunity for MICROS to grow. It currently has 20,000 units installed, with an over 20% market share in 2006. We expect the company to increase that market share to the mid 20s in a market that will grow dramatically to $1.7 billion by 2010. Opera, the company's core product solution for the hotel industry has matured well over the last couple of years and has accounted for 70% of the software growth over the past year. Its flexible architecture allows for the customer to run in it on thick or thin client terminals. Its tight integration and compatibility with in house systems differentiates itself from the competition. The rollout of the complete enterprise solution can take up to 5 years, with the life cycle of the product approximately 10 years. Additionally, 100% of the hotel clients sign up for maintenance which includes 24/7 support.

Competitors

To look at the competitors of MICROS, we break them down by vertical because no one competitor competes with them in all three of its main verticals. In restaurants, the competitors are IBM and NCR mostly on a hardware basis and also Radiant and Par Technologies, with their products. MICROS mostly replaces legacy IBM hardware in restaurants with their POS system. In the low end of hotel management, MICROS competes most often with Japanese vendors like Panasonic and Sharp, who offer primarily cash registers only. In the high-end hotels, internal solutions that are usually five to 10 years old are its biggest competition. In retail, the company competes with Oracle (through its acquisition of Retek and 360 Commerce), JDA Systems, SAP (through its acquisition of Triversity), and other small players. MICROS has a double digit market share in retail, which is higher than any of their four most recognizable competitors.

Valuation We are initiating coverage of Micros, Inc (MCRS), and have arrived at a one-year price target of $80 per share. Using industry averages, we see a 28% 3 to 5 year growth rate for Micros, a discount to the 36 multiple for fast growing application software companies. We are giving Micros a big discount versus the group on C2008 estimates despite its strong execution over many years, as well as their new initiatives, new organic and acquisition related business, and their time tested management. Using a 28 multiple, and our forecasted EPS of $2.85 for Calendar Year 2008, we are left with our price target of $80.00 per share.
