WMS Industries Inc. (NYSE:WMS) has been named as one of the country's fastest-growing companies by FORTUNE magazine in its September 17, 2007 issue. WMS was ranked 89th overall, and was 38th on the list in earnings per share growth, 68th in revenue growth and 96th in total return.

?This distinction is a direct reflection of the dedication and commitment of our worldwide base of employees who have consistently brought higher levels of entertainment and innovation to our casino customers and their patrons. This focus by our employees has resulted in consistent growth in the Company's financial performance which has in turn delivered value to our shareholders,? said Brian R. Gamache, President and Chief Executive Officer of WMS. ?With significant global opportunities ahead of us, we are optimistic about our ability to continue to deliver solid returns for investors over the long term.?

To qualify for this year's listing, a company had to have: a minimum market capitalization of $250 million; a stock price of at least $5; been trading continuously since June 30, 2004; reported revenue and net income for the four quarters ended on or before May 31, 2007, of at least $50 million and $10 million, respectively; and posted a compound annual growth in revenue and earnings per share of at least 25% annually over the three years ended on or before May 31, 2007. Companies that met these criteria were ranked by their revenue growth rate, their EPS growth rate, and their three-year annualized total return to investors for the period ended June 30, 2007. The overall rank is based on the sum of the three ranks.
