Esker Q1 2011 Sales Activity

Madison, WI – April 20, 2011 

A first quarter well in line with 2010

Esker Q1 2011 sales revenue increased 13% based on fixed and current exchange rates over a particularly strong Q1 2010 (+12%). This solid performance, despite long sales cycles, is a result of an increased demand for document process automation solutions (+18%). The Q1 2011 results are a continuation of a successful 2010 with solid performance of Esker legacy products (Host Access and Fax) complemented by the strong growth of new solutions.

The continued rise in cloud-based solutions

Esker on-demand solutions (FlyDoc and Esker on Demand) continue to progress rapidly (+37%) with Esker cloudbased solutions representing 49% of sales revenue, almost half the company’s activity in this first quarter. Esker is one of the first software vendors to have succeeded with the migration to cloud computing, due to the company’s strategic development plans in place since 2005.

A profitable first quarter

Strong sales coupled with operational cost control allowed Esker to generate positive operating results, up from Q1 2010. As of March 30, 2011, company cash reached 8.9 million Euros, compared with 8.2 million Euros for the quarter ending March 30, 2010.

Positive outlook for 2011

With sales revenues achieving close to 70% of sales, and improved economic conditions, Esker should experience a 10% growth in 2011 over 2010. Progressing sales revenue combined with stringent cost controls will enable the company to continue to generate positive operational results.
