(Nasdaq:EGOV) today reported net income of $2.5 million and earnings per share of four cents on total revenues of $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Driven by a 47 percent increase in non-driver record exchange (non-DMV) revenues in the core portal business, NIC's net income rose 35 percent over the same period last year. Operating income was $3.9 million in the second quarter, up 24 percent over second quarter 2004. 2Q 2005 Operating Highlights ---------------------------- Three months ended June 30 (thousands) 2005 2004 Change ---- ---- ------ Portal Revenues $14,386 $12,255 17% Portal Cost of Revenues 7,093 6,189 15% ------ ------ Portal Gross Profit $7,293 $6,066 20% Portal Gross Profit % 51% 49% Operating Income $3,931 $3,174 24% Operating Income Margin % 25% 22% Net income $2,470 $1,826 35% The Company posted net income of $1.8 million and earnings per share of three cents on total revenues of $14.3 million in second quarter 2004. For the second quarter of 2005, portal revenues were $14.4 million, a 17 percent increase over the prior year quarter. On a same state basis, portal revenues grew 18 percent in the second quarter. NIC's online hunting and fishing license, professional license renewal, income tax filing, and vehicle registration renewal services performed well in the second quarter, helping same state revenues from non-DMV services to increase 50 percent over the prior year quarter. During the same period last year, same state non-DMV revenues grew 37 percent. Driven partially by the launch of the South Carolina portal on June 1, revenues from driver record exchange (DMV) services grew 13 percent during the quarter. On a same state basis, DMV revenues increased 10 percent over second quarter 2004. "NIC's portal operations had another strong quarter, and we expect this trend to continue," said Jeff Fraser, Chief Executive Officer of NIC. "Our second quarter performance reflects NIC's ability to consistently build, enhance, and market revenue-generating services that constituents expect from government." In the second quarter, NIC's portals launched 57 new non-DMV revenue-generating services and another 150 applications are in the development pipeline. "We see tremendous opportunity for our core business to build incremental applications that deliver value to our government partners as well as the citizens and businesses they serve," said Harry Herington, NIC's Chief Operating Officer. In line with expectations, revenues for the software and services business in the second quarter were $1.2 million, down 41 percent from the prior year quarter. Selling and administrative expenses for the current quarter were $3.3 million, up from $2.9 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses were flat at 21 percent on a year-over-year basis. NIC ended the quarter with $42.9 million in cash and marketable securities, up $3.0 million from March 31, 2005. "Our success in launching new non-DMV revenue-generating services, growing same state profits, and tightly managing corporate expenses demonstrates how NIC is effectively leveraging the self-funded business model," concluded Herington. Second Quarter Operating Highlights During the second quarter, the Company's portal operations were enhanced by the June 1 launch of the self-funded eGovernment portal for the state of South Carolina (www.mySCgov.com). Following a competitive bid process, NIC has secured a new five-year agreement to manage the state of Tennessee's self-funded portal (www.Tennessee.gov), and long-term renewals were also granted by the states of Arkansas (www.Arkansas.gov) and Kansas (www.accessKansas.org). "We welcome South Carolina to the NIC family and thank Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kansas for their ongoing votes of confidence. Our self-funded portals continue to thrive across the country by adding unparalleled value to governments and taxpayers," concluded Fraser. Third Quarter 2005 Outlook For third quarter 2005, NIC expects total revenues of $15.0 - $15.5 million, portal revenues of $14.2 - $14.5 million, and software and services revenues of $0.8 - $1.0 million. The Company also anticipates operating income between $3.6 - $3.8 million and net income of $2.1 - $2.3 million. "NIC's projections do not include any new or unsigned contracts and also reflect our exit from the standalone local portal business, which generated $1.0 million of low-margin revenue in 2004," said Eric Bur, NIC's Chief Financial Officer. "In line with our performance in first quarter, 97 percent of portal revenues should be transactional throughout 2005 as we swap the occasional portal software development project for recurring revenue opportunities."
