NORCROSS, Ga., Feb. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoreCard Corporation (NYSE: CCRD) (“CoreCard” or “the Company”), the leading provider of innovative credit technology solutions and processing services to the financial technology and services market, announced today its financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
“CoreCard’s strong performance continued in the fourth quarter and resulted in full year top-line growth of 45%.

Additionally, our full year professional services revenue grew by 18%, while our processing and maintenance revenue grew by 34% compared to full year 2021,” said Leland Strange, CEO of CoreCard Corporation. “The investments we are making in our platform and processing capabilities are showing significant results. 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 full year 2023 services revenue growth of around 10% and total license revenue in the range of $3 million to $7 million. As we said last year, we do not ever expect another license revenue year as good as 2022 and the Company is now focused on building services in future years. 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.”

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. CoreCard considers Adjusted earnings per diluted share (“Adjusted EPS”) as a supplemental measure of the company’s performance that is not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EPS as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the impact of non-operating investment gains or losses. We believe that Adjusted EPS is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period.
Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to net income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the company's liquidity. In addition, other companies may calculate Adjusted EPS differently than CoreCard, which limits its usefulness in comparing CoreCard’s financial results with those of other companies.
The following table shows CoreCard’s GAAP results reconciled to non-GAAP results included in this release:
