Craneware's Chief Executive, Keith Neilson, said of the results: "Added pressures on US hospitals have led to an increased sales and opportunity pipeline for our products as we move into the current financial year.
"In this turbulent, demanding environment, hospitals need financial accuracy, visibility and shared accountability to survive. Fiscal and regulatory drivers are expected to increase in the year ahead as they push for greater transparency and accuracy, and although this creates a challenging ever-evolving marketplace, it ultimately increases the opportunities for Craneware's solutions."
The market was impressed with the numbers: the stock was up 7.6% at 10:08.
