NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--INNODATA ISOGEN, INC. (NASDAQ: INOD), today announced revenue of $17,870,000 for the second quarter of 2008, up 9% from revenue of $16,347,000 in the second quarter of 2007, but down 3% from revenue of $18,400,000 in the first quarter of 2008.

In line with its generalized guidance, the company also reported net income of approximately $36,000 in the second quarter of 2008, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $862,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007.

The company attributed the decrease in year-over-year net income in the second quarter of 2008 to a decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar, which reduced income by approximately $900,000, and continued investment in building out the company’s KPO platform in new service capabilities.

For the first six months of 2008, revenue was $36,270,000, up 25% from revenue of $29,076,000 for the first six months of 2007; and net income of $869,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2008, was up from net income of $219,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2007. Cash and equivalents rose 36% from $11,208,000 on June 30, 2007 to $15,263,000 on June 30, 2008.

The company purchased 430,000 shares of its common stock for $1,367,000 during the second quarter of 2008, and to date this year has purchased 606,000 shares of its common stock for $1,870,000, as part of the $2,000,000 stock buyback program authorized by the company’s board of directors on May 13, 2008.

“We’re pleased with the revenue levels that we’re achieving, the new engagements we’ve announced this quarter, and a solid pipeline of new business,” said Jack Abuhoff, chairman and CEO of Innodata Isogen. “While the new business that we’re closing falls within our target gross margin range, we are now very focused on several initiatives to enhance overall company margins, and particularly margins on projects that started before the first half of 2007 and have been affected by the U.S. dollar depreciation that took place in the second half of 2007.

“Our goal for the second half of 2008 is to maintain our growth momentum, while at the same time driving a series of cost management initiatives that improve profitability.”

Abuhoff said that he expects revenue in the third quarter of this year to increase in the range of 5% to 10% from the second quarter: “For 2008 overall, we continue to target revenue in the range of $76 million to $80 million, an increase of 12% to 18% over 2007 revenue, which in turn represents a 65% increase over 2006 revenue.”

Abuhoff also noted that the company’s recurring revenue increased nearly 16% from $10,946,000 in the second quarter of 2007 to $12,736,000 in the second quarter of 2008, accounting for approximately 71% of all revenue.
