Cerner has reported strong revenues for the 2010 second quarter, which ended July 3, with its revenue at $456 million, up 13 percent compared with $403.8 million in the year-ago period. Also, its net earnings saw a double-digit increase over the same period last year.
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, its second quarter 2010 net earnings were $55.5 million compared with second quarter 2009 GAAP net earnings of $43.8 million, according to the Kansas City, Mo.-based company. The net earnings increased despite a jump in total operating expenses--$291.4 million in this year's second quarter versus $270 million in last year's second quarter.
Cerner also reported:
• Second quarter cash collections of $447 million and operating cash flow of $110.2 million.
• A revenue backlog totaling $4.48 billion, up 21 percent versus the year-ago quarter. This is comprised of $3.85 billion of contract backlog and $637 million of support and maintenance backlog.
“Our strong bookings, highlighted by several new client relationships, included demand associated with the healthcare IT provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,” said Neal Patterson, Cerner's chairman, CEO, president and co-founder.
