“CoreCard’s strong performance continued in the fourth quarter and resulted in full year top-line growth of 34%, which was at the high end of our upwardly revised expectations,” said Leland Strange, CEO of CoreCard Corporation. "We recognized $1.8 million in license revenue in the quarter, bringing full year license revenue to $5.9 million, an increase of 63% year-over-year. Additionally, our full year professional services revenue grew by 22%, while our processing and maintenance revenue grew by 38% compared to fiscal 2020. The investments we are making in our platform and processing capabilities are already showing significant results. Our new office in Bogotá, Colombia, is gaining traction, and the team we have in place is scaling well. CoreCard is a best-in-class platform that is extremely well positioned to capture the growing demand for next-generation card management platforms by large and complex modern card issuers."

Mr. Strange continued, "Looking ahead, we expect topline growth of 20% to 25% in fiscal 2022, the opportunity ahead of us is sizable, and CoreCard remains a growth business focused on meeting the evolving needs of modern issuers while generating long-term value for our shareholders."
