Robin added, “The year-to-date operating cash flows till 30^th June 2012 were the highest for any comparable period in our history. Strategically, the quarter was one of the busiest with the acquisition of a number of companies and a minority investment in another company. We added new business lines and made significant product extensions to our core capabilities in the US and Internationally. As we integrate these acquisitions tightly, we expect increased synergies coming out in terms of improved margins for the Company.”

“Our sustained strong operating cash flows enabled Ebix to return capital to shareholders during the quarter with $9.4 million of shares repurchases, and a $1.8 million quarterly cash dividend, Ebix SVP and CFO Robert Kerris said. “Furthermore, during the quarter the Company continued to invest in the growth of the business with $46.7 million of accretive business acquisitions and strategic investments, and $402 thousand of capital expenditures.” Our balance sheet remains strong with aggregate cash, cash equivalents, and short-term cash deposit investments of $26.8 million as of June 30, 2012, and working capital of $11.2 million. With our combined aggregated cash reserves and the available financing capacity from our $100 million syndicated bank-financing facility, the Company presently has access to approximately $49.0 million of readily available cash resources. Our accounts receivable DSO stood at 57 days as of June 30, 2012, continuing an improving trend as this reflects a reduction of 7 days from year-end 2011, and 14 days from a year earlier at June 30, 2011.”
