Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPSI), a leading provider of healthcare information solutions, today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 (thirty-six cents) per share, payable on November 24, 2009, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2009.
Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, increased 8.7% to $33.0 million, compared with total revenues of $30.4 million for the prior-year period. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, decreased 1.8% to $4.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Cash used in operations for the third quarter of 2009 was $1.2 million, compared with $2.8 million of cash provided by operations for the prior-year period.
Commenting on the results, Boyd Douglas, chief executive officer and president of CPSI, stated, "We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter, which strongly positions us for the remainder of the year. As we had anticipated when we increased our capacity in installation and support personnel earlier this year, we expect installations to increase in the fourth quarter. The value of our products and services is being confirmed by increased recognition of the benefits of information technology in the healthcare sector and positive sentiment in Washington. Healthcare reform legislation currently under consideration clearly envisions information technology as a key component in improving quality and containing costs. As we look ahead to 2010, we remain optimistic that the economic and political environment will translate into opportunities for new business. We have the products and services as well as an expanded and highly trained workforce to not only meet but exceed customer expectations."
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, increased 7.3% to $94.0 million, compared with total revenues of $87.6 million for the prior-year period. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, increased 9.4% to $11.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared with $10.6 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Cash provided by operations for the first nine months of 2009 was $6.1 million, compared with $12.3 million for the prior-year period.
For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company anticipates total revenues of $33.0 million to $34.5 million and net income of approximately $4.0 million to $4.2 million, or $0.37 to $0.39 per diluted share. CPSI's 12-month backlog as of September 30, 2009, was $107.6 million, consisting of $22.9 million in non-recurring system purchases and $84.7 million in recurring payments for support, Business Management Services, ASP and ISP contracts.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which CPSI defines as net cash
provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. The
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by
operating activities. The Company believes free cash flow is a useful measure
of performance and uses this measure as an indication of the financial
resources of the Company and its ability to generate cash.
