Net income for the 2006 fiscal year was $10.2 million with EPS of $0.56, up from 2005 fiscal year net income of $2.1 million and EPS of $0.13.

"We had a strong fourth quarter to finish out an exceptional year," said Interactive Intelligence CEO, Dr. Donald E. Brown. "Our expanded sales and marketing activities paid off as the number of new customers and the average dollar value of initial contracts increased compared to the prior year. Our cash position and balance sheet strengthened significantly during the year. We also believe that we have increased our product leadership position during the year with major feature enhancements to our unified communications software suite, a new media server, and the addition of a new workforce management module.
"We continue to invest in the long-term success of the company. Looking forward to this year, we expect to continue our rapid revenue growth of 25 percent or more compared to 2006. We are committed to continued improvement of our operating earnings and believe that we have the proper expense disciplines and staffing plans in place. We improved our operating margin from 3.8 percent in 2005 to 6.0 percent in 2006, including stock option expense of $2.1 million, or 2.6 percent of revenue. We expect 2007 operating income to be at least 7 percent of revenues, including stock option expense," Brown concluded.
