      DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 23, 2009--ICON (NASDAQ:ICLR)
      (ISIN:IE0005711209), a global provider of outsourced development
      services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device
      industries, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter
      ended December 31, 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Full year, net revenues were $865 million, representing a 37.2% increase
      over last year. Income from operations, after taking non-cash stock
      compensation charge of $6.1 million, was $99.5 million or 11.5% of
      revenue, compared to $69.2 million or 11.0% last year. Net income was
      $78.1 million or $1.30 per share, compared with $56.0 million or $0.94
      per share, last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net revenues for the quarter were $220.1 million, representing a 21.8%
      increase over net revenues of $180.7 million for the same quarter last
      year. Income from operations, after taking non-cash stock compensation
      charge of $1.6 million, was $26.5 million or 12.0% of revenue, compared
      to $19.8 million or 11.0% for the same quarter last year. Net income was
      $21.0 million or 35 cents per share on a diluted basis, compared with
      $15.9 million or 26 cents per share last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Days sales outstanding, comprising accounts receivable and unbilled
      revenue less payments on account, were 69 days at December 31, 2008, on
      a like for like basis compared to 66 days at December 31, 2007.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, cash used in operating

      Full year 2008 cash flow from operating activities was $81.3 million and

      Discoveries was acquired in February 2008 for consideration of $11.8
      million and Prevalere Life Sciences was acquired in November for a
      consideration of $37.6 million. As a result, net debt amounted to $4.3
      million at December 31, 2008, compared to $23.8 million of net cash at
      December 31, 2007.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;2008 has been another outstanding year for ICON,&#8221; commented Chairman
      Dr. John Climax. &#8220;With year on year revenue growth of 37% and operating
      income growth of 44%, 2008 represents the second consecutive year of
      such exceptional performance.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Commenting on the quarter, CEO Peter Gray said &#8220;We are very satisfied
      with our performance in quarter four. Revenues were up 22%, margins held
      strong at 12% and EPS was up 35%. With our backlog at $1.74bn we have
      entered 2009 in a good position, although the difficult economic climate
      has put some customers under pressure and has created a degree of
