Record Revenue Delivers Mediware’s Seventh Consecutive Quarter of Growth Recent acquisitions and core services combine to continue strong quarterly performance; conference call scheduled for today, May 4, at 10:00 a.m. EDT, 9:00 a.m. CDT. LENEXA, KS May 4, 2010 - Mediware Information Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEDW), reported total revenue for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, of $12,806,000, a 26% increase over the $10,202,000 reported in the year ago quarter. Net income for the quarter was $891,000, or 11 cents per fully diluted share, a 5 cent or 84% increase over the $483,000, or 6 cents per fully diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The results for the quarter represent the seventh straight period of both earnings and revenue growth.
Commenting on the quarter, Mediware president and chief executive officer, Thomas Mann said, “Our results in the third quarter show impressive increases across all our financial metrics and represent an important milestone for our business. Quarterly revenue is at an all-time high and our earnings performance nearly doubled from the same period in the previous year. The accomplishments in the quarter represent solid service performance in our core segments as well as good progress with newer products added through acquisitions. I’m very pleased with the results of the quarter.”
Year-to-date performance shows the progress that Mediware has made and illustrates the contributions of the most recent acquisitions. Revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2010 was $34.4 million, a 14% increase compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. Year-to-date fully diluted earnings per share increased 16 cents, or 123%, to deliver 29 cents per fully diluted share, compared to the 13 cents reported for the same period last year. These increases were partially driven by the financial contributions of recent acquisitions, which were not included in Fiscal 2009 results.
Continuing his remarks, Mr. Mann said, “The recent acquisitions of Healthcare Automation and Advantage Reimbursement delivered important revenue and earnings contributions during their first full quarter with us. The products and services provided by these organizations expand our footprint in the home infusion market considerably and represent an area of healthcare that we believe offers growth potential in the future.”
“Our InSight product line, which was the result of our acquisition of SciHealth in June of last year, also made great progress by adding a new customer and integrating it capabilities with Mediware’s existing products. These achievements have resulted in additional interest and activity that we expect to drive future sales.” Among the quarter’s financial highlights:
Mr. Mann concluded: “Our growth strategy, which includes expanding into adjacent areas of healthcare through acquisition and introducing valuable new products into our existing customer base, is delivering results. These actions and the strength of our balance sheet provide me confidence we are doing the right things for the business.”
