National Research Corporation (NASDAQ:NRCI) today announced
results for the third quarter 2010.
- Quarterly net new contracts of $5.4
million, up 80% from the prior year quarter, set a new company
record;
- Quarterly revenue of $16 million, up
18% from prior year quarter;
- Quarterly net income of $2.1 million,
up 7% from prior year quarter;
- NRC Picker registers positive top line
growth, first in past seven quarters;
- Board of Directors declares fourth
quarter dividend of $0.19 per share
Commenting on the third quarter results, Michael D. Hays,
president and chief executive officer of National Research
Corporation, said, “I’m delighted that net new contracts for the
third quarter set a new company record. In fact, the $9.2 million
of net new contracts signed in the past two quarters exceeds all of
2009. NRC Picker sales performance contributed materially to the
Company’s overall sales record and also helped drive third quarter
revenue growth for that business unit. In the quarter, we
experienced additional traction from our continued heavy investment
in Illuminate™, although the investment contributed to lower net
income. As well, on the new product front, The Governance Institute
finalized a new offering which will launch in the fourth quarter.
Integration of OCS, which we acquired in the third quarter, is
going well and is adding meaningful depth in leadership and
technology.”
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, was $16.0
million, compared to $13.5 million for the same quarter in 2009.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, was $2.1
million, or $.32 per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.0
million for the third quarter 2009, or $.30 per basic and diluted
share.
Revenue for the first nine months of 2010 increased 8% to $47.5
million, compared to $43.9 million for the same period in 2009. Net
income for the first nine months of 2010 increased 11% over the
same period in 2009, to $6.9 million, resulting in $1.04 basic and
$1.03 diluted earnings per share, also up 11% 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 December 30, 2010, to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on December 3, 2010.
In closing, Patrick E. Beans, chief financial officer of
National Research Corporation, said, “Total contract value has
increased $13.7 million in the past nine months to $75.1 million,
up 22% from year-end 2009, driven by outstanding sales performance
and the acquisition of OCS. Net income for the third quarter was
13% of revenue, up from 12% in second quarter. We anticipate net
income back in the 15% plus range as we monetize investments being
made in new products and finalize the transition of OCS.”
