NATIONAL RESEARCH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
Company Again Achieves Record Pace in Net New Sales.
LINCOLN, Nebraska (August 7, 2012) - National Research Corporation (NASDAQ:NRCI) today announced results for the second quarter 2012.
Announcing a record pace of net new sales, Michael D. Hays, chief executive officer of National Research Corporation, said, "Following record sales in the fourth quarter of 2011, we again matched that $6.0 million sales record in the second quarter of 2012. Strong market acceptance of our product portfolio is clearly being experienced by the Company. For example, Illuminate, our care transitions offering, has increased from $0.5 million to $1.9 million in contract value over the past twelve months."
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, was $20.6 million, compared to $18.3 million for the same quarter in 2011. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, was $3.9 million, or $0.58 per basic share and $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter 2011, or $0.35 per basic share and $0.34 per diluted share.
In closing, Kevin Karas, chief financial officer of National Research Corporation, said, "Driven by increased net new sales, combined with favorable client contract renewal rates, our total contract value grew to $89.2 million as of June 30, 2012. Our second quarter financial results demonstrate the continued momentum and growth in contract value, revenue and earnings. It is important to note that our second quarter earnings included an income tax expense reduction of $620,000 as a result of favorable state income tax law changes."
