MONETT, Mo., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY), a leading provider of integrated technology solutions that performs data processing for financial institutions, today announced second quarter fiscal 2010 results with an 11% increase in revenue, an increase of 15% in gross profit, and a 7% increase in net income compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009. For the first six months of fiscal 2010 revenue increased 5%, with an increase of 9% in gross profit, and an increase of 11% in net income over the same six months in fiscal 2009.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the company generated total revenue of $210.9 million compared to $190.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit increased to $89.1 million compared to $77.4 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Net income totaled $30.0 million, or $.35 per diluted share, compared to $28.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share in the same quarter a year ago.
For the first half of fiscal 2010, total revenue of $393.2 million was generated compared to $373.3 million for the first half of fiscal 2009. Gross profit increased to $163.5 million compared to $149.9 million during the same period last fiscal year. Net income for the first half of fiscal 2010 was $56.3 million, or $.66 per diluted share, compared to $50.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share for the same six months in fiscal 2009.
According to Jack Prim, CEO, "We are generally pleased with the overall performance in the quarter. We continued to see positive impacts resulting from our cost control initiatives with a 14% improvement in operating income compared to the prior year, even with the inclusion of the one-time expenses related to the acquisitions. The integration of both acquisitions during the quarter continues to progress in line with original plans and the cost synergies and EPS contributions from these acquisitions are also tracking in line with the original guidance provided."
Operating Results
"Support and services revenue grew 19% for the quarter compared to last year, which a large part of this was related to the recently announced acquisitions. However, organically this line of revenue grew 5% compared to the prior year quarter and increased 4% sequentially. This is due to the continued demand for the components that make up our recurring revenue," stated Tony Wormington, President. "As these offerings continue to grow they also have the ability to expand our gross margins through additional leverage of the existing infrastructure. In addition to this our managers and all of our associates continue to focus on improving margins through the control of operating costs."

"We continue to see interest from our existing in-house customers to migrate to our OutLink model, along with the majority of new core customer wins also continue to select the outsourcing delivery model, which is reflected in our 11% increase in outsourcing backlog compared to a year ago," stated Kevin Williams, CFO. "In-house backlog jumped up 25% compared to a year ago, which is primarily due to some rather large license sales during the quarter that due to the nature of the product and the related revenue recognition rules, these will be recognized as milestones are hit during future quarters."
