INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 16, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $3,945,469 as compared to revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $3,885,326. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to growth in revenues derived from our SmartRecord® product in our Call Accounting Management and Recording ("CAMRA") segment due to an increase in demand for our recording software. The increase in CAMRA revenues were derived primarily from the operations in the United States which was partially off-set by a decrease in revenue recognized in the United Kingdom in our Electronic Invoice Management ("EIM") segment due to a decrease in demand for professional services. The Company reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $979,862, or $0.03 per share, as compared to a net loss of ($552,391), or ($0.02) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to a patent legal settlement with net proceeds of $1,344,749 recognized by the Company.
Commenting on the results, John Birbeck, CTI Group's President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased with our first quarter profitable performance. Our CAMRA segment's United States operations were able to recognize a 120% increase of revenue which was especially encouraging given the fact that we invoiced two large sales to Tier 1 service providers in the quarter which were not fully recognized by quarter-end. Those two sales are the primary reason for the $6.7 million increase in accounts receivable and corresponding $5.3 million increase in deferred (unrecognized) revenues. The combination of the patent legal settlement and cash collection in the second quarter, have contributed to the significant improvement in liquidity of the Company. Additionally, sales of our SmartRecord® software continue to grow rapidly with a 60% year-over-year increase in active users. We expect a further increase in the number of active users during 2014."
