Business Wire
National Research Corporation (NASDAQ:NRCI) today announced results
for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Quarterly revenue
$13.5 million Quarterly diluted earnings per share of $0.29 NRC
quarterly net new contracts $2.7 million New contracts for
subscription-based products continue rapid growth--up 67% for the
quarter and 170% year-to-date Total recurring contract value $56.5
million, up 16% over third quarter 2007 Commenting on the third
quarter results, Michael D. Hays, president and chief executive
officer of National Research Corporation, said, �We had a good
quarter. Traditionally HealthCare Market Guide has driven our third
quarter revenue and we knew, given the deferred nature of our new
HCMG Ticker product, we had a hurdle to make up. The balance of the
organization�s growth did just that and largely offsets HCMG
revenue.� Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, was
$13.5 million compared to $14.0 million for the same quarter 2007.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, was $2.0
million compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter 2007.
Revenue for the first nine months of 2008 was $38.8 million,
compared to $38.1 million for the same period in 2007. Net income
for the first nine months of 2008 was $5.6 million resulting in
$.83 per basic and $.81 per diluted earnings per share. The Company
also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular
quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 (fourteen cents) per share payable
December 31, 2008, to shareholders of record as of the close of
business on December 5, 2008. In closing, Patrick E. Beans, chief
financial officer of National Research Corporation, said, �Happily,
we are debt free today having paid off the $12.5 million loan in 30
months in conjunction with our acquisition of TGI in May 2006.
This, along with having paid $8.2 million in dividends and $8.9
million in repurchasing stock during that same period, speaks to
our constant profitability and a very strong cash flow.� A

quarter conference call will be available online at
