LENEXA, Kan., May 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mediware Information Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:MEDW), a provider of comprehensive healthcare software solutions, today reported total revenue of $16.9 million for the third quarter of the 2012 fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2012. This represents a 22 percent increase over the $13.8 million reported in the comparable quarter in fiscal 2011. Quarterly fully diluted earnings per share were $0.22, a 29 percent increase from the $0.17 in the year ago quarter.
Commenting on the financial results, Mediware president and chief executive officer, Thomas Mann, said: "I'm pleased to report strong revenue and EPS increases from a year ago. Among all our products, our blood bank and blood center products experienced the biggest gains. This is the result of strong revenue associated with the milestones reached in both of our Department of Defense projects. These initiatives are making good progress and we look forward to the possibility of extending these relationships with additional services and support agreements."
Among the quarter's highlights:
- Operating income increased to $2.3 million, a five percent increase over the same period last year.
- Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.22 resulting from strong operating profit.
- Cash increased to $37.4 million, an increase of almost 25 percent from $30.0 million reported on June 30, 2011.
- Completed the acquisition of Transtem to expand blood management expertise with technology that manages the collection, preparation and use of adult stem cells in therapies and research.
- Announced the acquisition of the Cyto Management System (CMS) from Cobbler ICT Services BV in the Netherlands to expand medication management expertise with technology specific to chemotherapy management.
Continued Mr. Mann: "In addition to the strong results achieved during the quarter, I'm excited about our latest investments through the acquisitions of Transtem and the CMS product in the Netherlands. Each of these products addresses high growth areas of healthcare and should help support our long-term growth.
"The potential uses for stem cells are tremendous and I believe the Transtem solution positions us a comprehensive information technology solution that will lead the industry in functional depth and capability. This team already has signed two new contracts and has a robust pipeline that should continue to produce sales over the next twelve months.
"The addition of the CMS is another extension of our existing expertise in medication management. We have seen a demand for this new capability from our existing UK customers. I expect this new offering to enhance current relationships and differentiate our solutions to drive new sales."
