Third quarter revenues rose 3.1% to $38.2 million in fiscal 2010 compared with $37.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income was flat at $4.9 million, and net income per diluted share increased 1.6% to $0.64 compared with $0.63 in the prior year due to share repurchases. The third quarter's results include the operations of Myriad Systems, Inc. (MSI) acquired effective October 1, 2009.
"This was CSI's 23rd consecutive quarterly increase in revenues and net income per share," stated President and Chief Executive Officer Steven A. Powless. "Our growth in revenues continues to benefit from long-term customer contracts and high customer retention rates. In addition, we have made strategic acquisitions that have expanded our suite of products and services and further contributed to our growth.
"The recent acquisition of MSI highlights our focus on expanding complementary products and services to our customers while building long-term value for CSI shareholders. The acquisition of MSI adds an industry-leading platform for statement and document delivery that provides the opportunity to cross-sell these services throughout our entire affiliate base. In addition, the MSI acquisition expanded our customer base beyond the financial services industry to include the education, government and retailing sectors, which we expect to offer additional cross-sell opportunities for CSI," continued Mr. Powless.
Third Quarter Results
Third quarter consolidated revenues rose 3.1% to $38.2 million compared with $37.0 million for the third quarter ended November 30, 2008. Processing revenues increased 6.5% to $27.6 million and accounted for 72.3% of total revenues compared with $25.9 million, or 70% of total revenues, in the third quarter of last year. Other revenues decreased 4.8% to $10.6 million compared with $11.1 million in fiscal 2009. In addition, the MSI acquisition contributed to the growth in total revenues in the latest quarter.
"CSI's processing business has grown over the past year due to sales to new customers, cross-sales to existing customers and higher transaction based revenue," continued Mr. Powless. "Our other revenue growth slowed earlier this year as our customers postponed discretionary spending on new products and services, including one-time software and hardware purchases, during the weak economy. We expect demand for these services to pick up as the economy improves."
Consolidated operating income increased 0.2% to $8.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Third quarter operating margins were 21.0% compared with 21.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in margin was primarily due to approximately $700,000 in non-recurring costs associated with the MSI acquisition that were expensed in the third quarter. Excluding the effects of the MSI acquisition, operating expenses decreased 2.9% compared with the third quarter of last fiscal year. A primary driver in reducing operating costs has been the migration of customers to use of data capture technology within an internal branch structure and away from processing these transactions at CSI's fixed data centers. CSI expects to benefit from this trend as data centers are consolidated, resulting in lower personnel and operating costs.
We expect our fourth quarter earnings to be lower than we reported in fiscal 2009 due to significantly lower onetime fees related to early contract terminations from accounts lost primarily through bank mergers. We reported $4.8 million in early contract termination fees in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and expect that total to be about $300,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Although our earnings will be reduced by these one-time fees next quarter, we believe it is a very positive sign that our turnover in accounts is also significantly reduced from last year.
Net income was $4,851,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income per fully diluted share was $0.64 compared with $0.63 in the same quarter last year. Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding were down 3.4% to 7.5 million primarily due to shares repurchased through CSI's stock repurchase program.
"CSI's cash position increased to $7.7 million in the third quarter, highlighting the strength of our balance sheet," stated Mr. Powless. "We used our strong financial position to purchase MSI with a combination of cash and debt, while continuing to invest in new hardware and software to support new product and service offerings. In addition, we repurchased 33,747 shares during the third quarter for $1.2 million."
Nine Month Results
Consolidated revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 rose 2.8% to $112.2 million compared with $109.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. This increase was attributable to growth in processing revenues, partially offset by a small decrease in other revenues. In addition, the MSI acquisition contributed to the growth in total revenues.
Operating income rose 8.9% to $24.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared with $22.8 million for the same period last year. Operating margin rose to 22.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared with 20.9% in the same period of fiscal 2009 due to higher sales and improved product mix combined with prudent expense management.
Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 rose 9.2% to $15.0 million compared with $13.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. Net income per diluted share rose 15% to $1.99 for the latest nine-month period compared with $1.73 for the same period last year.
