Our revenue grew by 95%, non-GAAP net income & non-GAPP operating profit both increased 63.0%. We will continue to improve the operational efficiencies of the newly acquired entities and expand the margins, as we have done many times in the past, with other companies, including Sapiens itself.

As a global provider of insurance solutions, with new products, geographical coverage and channels to sell in to, we are very encouraged about our opportunities for growth. We are seeing high demand for our products in North America, and have increased our staff by 30 employees in the last quarter due to demand from customers. Compounding our growth prospects are the market dynamics, insurance companies shifting its information technology (IT) spend to external providers."

Mr. Al Dor continued, "We reiterate our guidance for 2012 to grow revenue in excess of $100 million."
