Monica Eisinger, President and CEO, commented: “Once again we continue to execute our trend of improved results, by growing both revenues and operating income. Over the last three quarters we have improved operating margins from 12, to 15 and 17 percent respectively. We believe that this accelerates our plan to reach over 20% operating margins in the long term. Our second quarter results reflect mainly our customers’ confidence in our solutions and the focused sales efforts in Europe. The IP infrastructure acceptance and our reputation of providing stable, scalable and easy-to-implement solutions for mediation, provisioning and billing for this space help us expand our revenue. In order to address future needs of both existing customers and new opportunities and in order to better support our growing customer base, we continue to enhance both our product offering and our work force. We are in a continuous process of increasing our employee force that is expected to reach over 250 people by the end of the year. MIND is a reputable niche player in a huge space, the billing world, and we expect to persevere in gaining market share.”
