Remarking on company achievements, Michael D. Hays, chief executive officer of National Research Corporation (NRC), said “Having completed its market test, Customer Connect was launched June 1, 2013, complete with dedicated sales, service and development resources and $2.7 million in contract value. In addition, The Picker Institute will be introduced to the market September 22, 2013, as a signature offering of NRC. These new platforms should drive organic revenue growth to mid to upper teens with upside for targeted acquisitions.”
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, was $22.4 million, compared to
$20.6 million for the same quarter in 2012. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, was $3.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share for class A common stock and $0.49 per diluted share for class B common stock, compared to $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, or $0.09 per diluted share for class A common stock and $0.57 per diluted share for class B common stock.
Regarding second quarter performance, Kevin Karas, chief financial officer of National Research Corporation, said, “During the second quarter, we completed our recapitalization plan which helped create a significant increase in levels of trading volume subsequent to the May 22, 2013, plan effective date. In connection with the recapitalization, we incurred $250,000 of expenses in the second quarter for plan implementation.

One other item to note is that our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 37.1%, compared to 22.9% in the second quarter of 2012, as an adjustment to state income
tax expense of $575,000 related to legislative changes was recognized in the second quarter of 2012.”
In closing, Mr. Karas commented that, “Our acute care business has constantly achieved very strong revenue growth and is cumulatively up 21% over the past four quarters. This most current quarter’s 20% quarter-over-quarter growth was driven by acute care patient experience (18%), CGCAHPS (39%), Market Insights (20%), Discharge Calls (121%) and NRC Canada (15%). Given post-acute new sales for the first half of the year are in line with plan, post-acute revenue as recognized should add to our top-line growth rate.”
