Quarterly profit rose to $8.9 million, or 43 cents per share, from $3.4 million in the same period last year.

Revenue rose 18 percent to $242.5 million from $205 million last year.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial predicted a profit of 40 cents per share on revenue of $232.1 million.

The company said growth was broad based and all geographic regions were above plan. (AP)
