National Research Corporation (NASDAQ:NRCI) today announced
results for the second quarter 2010.
- Quarterly net new contracts up
114% from prior year quarter adding $3.8 million to total contract
value;
- Acquisition of Outcome Concept
Systems, Inc (OCS) adds $7.4 million to total contract value;
- Illuminate™ launched to capture
an estimated $200 million market for discharge planning.
Commenting on the second quarter results, Michael D. Hays,
president and chief executive officer of National Research
Corporation, said, “I’m delighted that net new contracts for the
quarter more than doubled from a year ago, largely driven by an NRC
Picker record-breaking sales performance--its second quarter in a
row of double-digit growth in net new contracts. Exciting as well
is the launch of Illuminate, a discharge planning product which
minimizes avoidable hospital readmission for which CMS is
broadening financial penalties. This first-to-market, full-scale
programmatic solution is already implemented in hospitals covering
more than 200,000 patient discharges annually. Today, we also
completed the acquisition of OCS, a Seattle-based health analytics
and informatics firm. In my view, this transaction brings a whole
new opportunity to NRC given OCS’s expertise and systems to
benchmark financial, clinical and operational performance of
healthcare providers.”
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was $14.1 million,
compared to $13.6 million for the same quarter in 2009. Net income
for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was $1.7 million, or $.25 per
basic and diluted share, compared to $1.6 million for the second
quarter 2009, or $.24 per basic and diluted share.
Revenue for the first half of 2010 increased 4% to $31.5
million, compared to $30.3 million for the same period in 2009. Net
income for the first six months of 2010 increased 12% to $4.8
million, resulting in $0.72 basic and $0.71 diluted earnings per
share, also up 13%, over the same period in 2009.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has
declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 (nineteen
cents) per share payable September 30, 2010, to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on September 3, 2010.
In closing, Patrick E. Beans, chief financial officer of
National Research Corporation, said, “Net income for the quarter
was lower than we desire at 12% of revenue, but understandable
given the Illuminate launch and transaction expenses related to
OCS. For the third quarter 2010, we anticipate net income back in
the 15% range which aligns with our model. In fact, OCS’s software
as a service product portfolio, and Illuminate’s syndicated-based
business model should provide for very attractive margins on that
book of business.”
