LINCOLN,
Nebraska (November 2, 2010) — National Research Corporation (NASDAQ:NRCI) today

|
·
|
Quarterly
net new contracts of $5.4 million, up 80% from the prior year quarter, set
a new company record;
|
|
·
|

quarter;
|

|
Commenting on the third quarter
results, Michael D. Hays, president and chief executive officer of National
Research Corporation, said, “I’m delighted that net new contracts for the third
quarter set a new company record. In fact, the $9.2 million of net
new contracts signed in the past two quarters exceeds all of
2009. NRC Picker sales performance contributed materially to the
Company’s overall sales record and also helped drive third quarter revenue
growth for that business unit. In the quarter, we experienced
additional traction from our continued heavy investment in Illuminate™, although
the investment contributed to lower net income. As well, on the new
product front, The Governance Institute finalized a new offering which will
launch in the fourth quarter. Integration of OCS, which we acquired
in the third quarter, is going well and is adding meaningful depth in leadership
and technology.”
Revenue for the quarter ended September
30, 2010, was $16.0 million, compared to $13.5 million for the same quarter in
2009. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, was $2.1
million, or $.32 per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.0 million for the
third quarter 2009, or $.30 per basic and diluted share.

Revenue for the first nine months of
2010 increased 8% to $47.5 million, compared to $43.9 million for the same
period in 2009. Net income for the first nine months of 2010
increased 11% over the same period in 2009, to $6.9 million, resulting in $1.04
basic and $1.03 diluted earnings per share, also up 11% over the same period in
2009.
The Company also announced that its
Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.19
(nineteen cents) per share payable December 30, 2010, to shareholders of record
as of the close of business on December 3, 2010.
In closing, Patrick E. Beans, chief
financial officer of National Research Corporation, said, “Total contract value
has increased $13.7 million in the past nine months to $75.1 million, up 22%
from year-end 2009, driven by outstanding sales performance and the acquisition
of OCS. Net income for the third quarter was 13% of revenue, up from
12% in second quarter. We anticipate net income back in the 15% plus
range as we monetize investments being made in new products and finalize the
transition of OCS.”
