Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:QSII) announced today the results of operations for its fiscal 2011 third quarter ended December 31, 2010.

“We are very pleased with the Company's third quarter performance. Our entire organization has worked very hard preparing for the first year of incentives provided under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The team is ready to witness the fruits of their labor”

The Company reported record net revenues of $91.9 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter, an increase of 23 percent from the $75.0 million reported in the same period a year ago. The Company reported net income of $17.5 million, up 33 percent versus net income of $13.2 million for the comparable period last year. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.60 in the fiscal 2011 third quarter; rising 33 percent when compared with $0.46 fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Quality Systems, Inc. also announced that the Company's Board of Directors increased the cash dividend by five cents ($0.05), or 17 percent, to Thirty-Five Cents ($0.35) per share on the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, payable to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2011, with an anticipated distribution date of April 5, 2011. The $0.35 per share cash dividend is pursuant to the Company's current policy to pay a regular quarterly dividend on the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to further Board review and approval, and establishment of record and distribution dates by the Board prior to the declaration and payment of each such quarterly dividend.

"We are very pleased with the Company's third quarter performance. Our entire organization has worked very hard preparing for the first year of incentives provided under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The team is ready to witness the fruits of their labor," noted Steven T. Plochocki, Quality Systems' chief executive officer.

"As we said for the past 22 months since the bill was first introduced, there were levels of uncertainty and speculation, but once certification was announced in October 2010 and the regulations for Stage 1 Meaningful Use were finalized, the path became very clear. We are in a very positive position to take advantage of the benefits stemming from the first year of the stimulus incentives. Additionally, the Board's declaration to increase our quarterly dividend is indicative of the Company's strength in the marketplace and optimism about the future. We remain very encouraged by the industry opportunity before us, and confident in the certified electronic health solutions we bring to the physician, dental and hospital marketplaces," Plochocki concluded.
