Commenting on the second quarter results, Michael D.

Subscription upgrades, winning new clients and cross-selling products among our installed base, are all contributing to our robust growth.”
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, was $18.3 million, compared to $14.1 million for the same quarter in 2010. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, was $2.3 million, or $0.35 per basic and $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million for the second quarter 2010, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 (twenty-two cents) per share payable September 30, 2011, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 2, 2011.
In closing, Pat Beans, chief financial officer of National Research Corporation, said, “Leverage, driven by scale and higher proportions of subscription-based revenue, has clearly benefited the Company as evidenced by our net income growth of 40% on revenue gains of 30%.”
