December Processing Results:
Dollars processed (the metric that drives revenue) increased 25% in December compared to the previous month and grew 5% over December 2007. Transactions processed increased 11% from the previous month and 13% from December 2007. It should be noted that December's dollar volume was the highest for any month in 2008 and is the third highest in our history.
Q4 Processing Results:
In dollars processed (the metric that drives revenue), our volume increased 21% from the third quarter. As for transactions processed, our volume grew 20% over the previous quarter and 7% over Q4 2007.
Commenting on the results, Michael R. Long, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Payment Data Systems, said, "We are extremely pleased with these preliminary results. I view it as a validation of our business model and it clearly demonstrates our ability to grow organically. Furthermore, I believe we can also surmise from these results that our targeted marketing strategy has resulted in a customer base that is reasonably insulated from the current overall economic environment."
