(Nasdaq: EGOV) today announced net income of $2.8 million and earnings per share of four cents on total revenues of $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Operating income was $4.5 million for the quarter. In second quarter 2006, the company reported net income of $3.2 million and earnings per share of five cents on total revenues of $18.8 million. Quarterly portal revenues were a record $20.6 million, a 16 percent increase over second quarter 2006. On a same-state basis, portal revenues grew 14 percent in the second quarter, compared to a nine percent increase during the same period a year ago. NIC's vehicle registration, online income tax payment and hunting and fishing license services performed well in the second quarter, helping same-state, transaction-based revenues from non-driver record exchange (non-DMV) applications rise 37 percent. DMV revenues grew 10 percent on a same-state basis in the second quarter, up from two percent growth during the same period last year. "Today's report is a product of our specialization," said Jeff Fraser, chief executive officer of NIC. "No other organization can match the depth or breadth of NIC's experience in eGovernment. Our eGovernment focus attracts new partners, like Arizona, because they know we will deliver exceptional value to state agencies as well as the citizens and businesses they serve. NIC's eGovernment experience and focus also delivers the kind of numbers we reported today and expect to report in the future." In the second quarter, NIC's portals launched a record 110 new non-DMV revenue-generating services. The company also has an all-time high of 170 applications in the development pipeline. Reflecting NIC's ongoing investment in long-term growth, selling and administrative expenses rose to $5.4 million in the current quarter compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. As a percentage of portal revenue, selling and administrative expenses were 26 percent in the current quarter, up from 20 percent in the second quarter of 2006. "Our strategic growth investments are already starting to pay off," said Harry Herington, president of NIC. "Our sales pipeline is the best we've had in the history of the company, and the progress our portals are making is driving our success on non-DMV revenue." NIC estimates the cost of these initiatives will be $4 million to $6 million in 2007. NIC ended the second quarter with approximately $43.2 million in cash and investments, up $10.2 million from March 31, 2007. As announced earlier this year, the company declared a $0.75 per-share special dividend in the first quarter that it paid to shareholders on February 20, 2007. NIC paid the $46.7 million dividend from its short-term investments and cash reserves. Operating Highlights The company announced recently that it had finalized a contract with the state of Arizona, bringing the total number of state partners to 20 and increasing the population served to 67 million. "We're grateful for the vote of confidence given us by Arizona," said Fraser. "We look forward to developing outstanding eGovernment solutions for the state and its citizens and businesses for years to come." 2007 Outlook For full-year 2007, NIC's updated projections reflect strong performance in the first two quarters, normal seasonality in the second half of the year and a partial year of start-up costs from the Arizona contract. The company projects: total revenues of $82.5 million to $83.8 million, portal revenues of $79.5 million to $80.5 million, software and services revenues of $3.0 million to $3.3 million, operating income between $12.7 million and $13.2 million and net income between $8.1 million and $8.6 million. The company's projections do not include any new, unsigned portal contracts. "Our portal business continues its strong performance," said Steve Kovzan, NIC's vice president of financial operations. "Portal gross margins should range from 45 to 47 percent in 2007, with selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of portal revenues remaining in the 28 to 29 percent range we projected earlier this year, as we continue to invest in our long-term growth initiatives."
