The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 to $0.57 (fifty-seven cents) per share, payable on February 28, 2014, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2014.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, increased 7% to $51.3 million, compared with total revenues of $47.9 million for the prior-year fourth quarter. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, increased 10% to $10.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared with $9.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Cash provided by operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $14.7 million, compared with $14.3 million for the prior-year fourth quarter. Cash collections for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, were $56.2 million, compared with cash collections of $53.2 million for the prior-year fourth quarter.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, increased 10% to $200.9 million, compared with total revenues of $183.3 million for the prior year. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013, increased 9% to $32.7 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, compared with $30.0 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

For 2014, the Company anticipates total revenues of $205.0 million to $215.0 million and net income of approximately $36.0 million to $38.0 million, or $3.25 to $3.40 per diluted share. CPSI’s 12-month backlog as of December 31, 2013, was $167.1 million, consisting of $50.9 million in non-recurring system purchases and $116.2 million in recurring payments for support, Business Management Services and SAAS contracts. The backlog amounts exclude amounts to be recognized in subsequent periods upon hospitals successfully achieving Meaningful Use designation.

Free cash flow $ 14,411   $ 12,213   $ 25,417   $ 27,844  
 

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which CPSI defines as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of capital assets. 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.
