MicroStrategy Inc. reported its sixth straight quarter of profitability Tuesday as its second-quarter revenues surged past the $40 million mark.
The Vienna, Va.-based business intelligence software companys net income dropped year-over-year, to $2.3 million after coming in at $24.9 million in last years second quarter, when it was boosted by a contract termination with the now defunct Xchange Applications Inc.
Still MicroStrategys sales increased to $43.6 million, up from $36.8 million in the same period last year. License revenues were up as well, from $15 million to $19.6 million. The company added 139 customers in the quarter.
“MicroStrategy has made solid financial and technical progress during the past year,” said MicroStrategy Chairman and CEO Michael Saylor in a statement. “We believe that the current trend toward consolidation in the BI industry is favorable for us, and that we are well positioned for continued market success.”
