Brian R. Balbirnie, Chief Executive Officer of Issuer Direct Corporation, commented,
"We are pleased with our overall performance for our first quarter, which exceeded our estimates in almost every metric. Both our disclosure reporting and stock transfer businesses preformed remarkably well -- not only in revenue contributions but also in margins and new client acquisitions. We are excited about our second quarter start and what is ahead for us in fiscal 2013."
Wes Pollard, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "The overall 77% increase in revenue is primarily due to growth in compliance and reporting revenue, which generated 76% gross margins in the first quarter of 2013, and an improvement in transfer agent revenues, which generate 83% gross margins during that same period. Because of the large number of compliance and reporting clients that we have under annual contracts, we believe our revenue from this segment will continue to be much more predictable in the future. The improvement in transfer agent revenue was primarily due to significant business from corporate action engagements earned in the quarter. Historically, corporate action services are tied to a transaction that results in a project-based engagement, therefore the timing and predictability of this type of revenue becomes difficult to forecast. However, we do anticipate that corporate actions will be a continuing source of revenue in the future, especially as we raise our client count, the volume of these transactions will also go up."
Mr. Balbirnie further stated, "During the quarter we built critical mass, delivering higher revenue, increased profits, and increased overall margins, demonstrating the earnings power of this highly efficient, recurring revenue, cloud-based model. Now our plan is to exploit this model by driving incremental top line revenue, accelerating our profitability by maintaining high margins. As the only single-source provider of cloud based disclosure management solutions, we are focused on both organic growth and also continue to evaluate potential acquisitions of complementary businesses that fit our long term business strategy."

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. In the calculation of these measures, the Company generally excludes certain items such as amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and unusual, non-recurring gains and charges. The Company believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in the Company's operating expenditures and continuing operations.
