Michael Schrader, COO of Top Image Systems, commented, "We continued to deliver double digit organic revenue growth, up 29% year over year, recording non-GAAP operating profit of $0.6 million, and increasing our percentage of recurring revenue in the mix to 34%. Strategically, we experienced solid gains in the U.S and mobile markets, highlighted by a new partner agreement to sell MobiPay, the addition of a new mobile sales manager and a growing pipeline for our overall U.S. operations. Leveraging this momentum, the acquisition of eGistics at the start of the third quarter will serve to accelerate our positioning in the U.S. by tripling our headcount in the Americas to more than 65 employees and by providing direct access for cross-sales of TIS solutions to top U.S. financial institutions. Going forward, eGistics will enable TIS to extend its current solutions and develop new products on the CloudDocs platform. The transaction will also diversify our revenue, as it will make the Americas our largest geography by revenue. This transformative acquisition increases our scale and elevates our recurring revenue product mix to 49% of 2013 pro-forma results."

Mr. Schrader added, "Our continued and reinforced four-prong focus on enhanced cloud capabilities, transition to SaaS, our advanced mobile image processing solutions and a strong sales presence in the U.S. - our primary target growth market – is driving product, sales, marketing and executive recruitment strategies to ensure maximum revenue growth. We aim to increasingly deploy in the U.S. and global markets the most advanced multichannel capture-initiated smart process applications that liberate businesses and consumers by enabling them to easily and rapidly capture and process data anytime, anywhere. Looking ahead, we are excited about integrating eGistics' products and personnel into the TIS family, to accelerate our growth in the U.S. market and to expand our mobile and cloud-based payments portfolio worldwide."
