http://www.barchart.com/headlines/story.php?id=7677822 announces best-ever quarterly and annual fiscal year results for revenues and earnings. The Company recorded Q4FY12 revenues of $176,052, the strongest quarterly revenues in corporate history (despite Management's estimate that revenues were diminished by more than $5,000 due to the effects of the hurricane in the quarter) and an increase of 16% over the $151,297 recorded in Q4FY11 (estimated by Management to be about 19% without the effects of the Hurricane). Net income before taxes in Q4FY12 totaled $22,966; an increase of 22% compared with net income before taxes of $18,854 in Q4FY11. Net income after tax for Q4FY12 totaled $12,889 or $.46 per share as compared with $10,476 or $.37 per share in the corresponding quarter in FY11. While the Company posted very strong results, Management believes that its earnings per share would have been approximately $.06 higher, or $.52 per share, absent the effect of Hurricane Sandy in late October. Gross profits on revenues for the current quarter were $87,245 resulting in a margin for gross profit on revenues of 50%, versus the $74,913 reported for the prior fiscal year fourth quarter, also resulting in a margin of 50%. Revenue per patient for Q4FY12 was $85.83, an increase of 4% from the $82.35 reported for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The number of patients served increased 12% to 2,039 (estimated 15% and 2,100 without the Hurricane effect) in the current quarter from the prior year fourth quarter total of 1,822. Esoteric business for the Company was 61% of revenues for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year and Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was at 80 days.
