Earnings
TORONTO, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CEDARA SOFTWARE CORP.
(NASDAQ:CDSW/TSX:CDE) today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2005 ended September 30, 2004.
Revenue from continuing operations in the first quarter was $12.3 million, an

million in the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.10
for the quarter compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.06 in the same
period last year.
Software license revenue was up by $0.4 million to $6.6 million and engineering
services revenue increased 42% to $4.3 million for this quarter. Gross margin
was $9.9 million or 81% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2005,
compared to a gross margin of $7.7 million or 77% of revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in gross margin reflects higher than
normal gross margins on certain engineering services contracts and an increase
in higher margin software license revenues.

million or 20% to $7.0 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period last
year. However, included in the $7.0 million of operating expenses was $1.2

quarter," said Abe Schwartz, Cedara's President and Chief Executive Officer.
