Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, were $53.3 million, compared with total revenues of $46.8 million for the prior-year third quarter. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, increased 29% to $9.4 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared with $7.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Cash provided by operations for the third quarter of 2014 was $11.6 million, compared with $7.5 million for the prior-year third quarter. Cash collections for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, were $52.4 million, compared with cash collections of $44.2 million for the prior-year third quarter.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $158.5 million, compared with total revenues of $149.6 million for the prior-year period. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, increased 15% to $26.2 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, compared with $22.7 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The backlog total excludes amounts related to systems installed during 2012 under contracts for which a portion of the consideration was to be received and revenue recognized in subsequent periods upon hospitals successfully achieving meaningful use designation. Although the related system installations were substantially completed during 2012, and no additional such contracts have been offered since 2012, the total remaining accumulated unrecognized revenue related to such contracts as of September 30, 2014, was approximately $1.4 million.

The Company believes free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and uses this measure as an indication of the financial resources of the Company and its ability to generate cash.
