CSI Holds Annual Meeting of Shareholders

CSI HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Shareholders Elect Two Directors

Expects Improved Results in Fiscal 2018

PADUCAH, Ky. (June 29, 2017) – Computer Services, Inc. (CSI) (OTCQX: CSVI) announced today that shareholders elected two directors and approved the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as independent auditors for fiscal year 2018.

In comments to shareholders, Steven A. Powless, CEO of CSI, stated, “We reported record results in fiscal 2017 marking our 17^th consecutive year of increased revenues, 20^th consecutive year of increased net income and our 45^th consecutive year of increased cash dividends for our shareholders. Our record results benefited from our high rate of customer satisfaction, contract renewals and new accounts opened during the year. 

“Our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 highlighted our continued growth in revenues across all of our business units based on new contracts signed, higher cross-sales and increased transaction volumes,” Powless continued. “Our first quarter also benefited from approximately $5.3 million in early contract termination fees compared with $85,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the effect of early contract termination fees, net revenues increased approximately 6% and net income rose approximately 5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

“We expect continued growth in fiscal 2018 based on our high recurring revenue base with long-term contracts, high renewal rates on customer contracts and our current pipeline of business. Our outlook for the second half of this fiscal year is for revenue and earnings growth to be lower than the first half due to higher early contract termination fees in the third and fourth quarters of last fiscal year compared with possible lower early contract termination fees in the second half of this year. For the full year, we expect total revenues for fiscal 2018 to be higher than the prior fiscal year, notwithstanding the early contract termination fees.

“Our strategy for the future remains focused on customer retention and satisfaction, sales and market expansion, marketing and brand awareness, and product innovation. We believe these strategies will drive our future growth, earnings and returns to our shareholders,” Powless concluded.

At the meeting, shareholders elected the following directors for three-year terms:

• Bruce R. Gall – CEO of Dornoch Management Corporation, and Chairman and CEO of Fed Reporter, Inc.
• Kristin R. Muhlner – President and COO of Framebridge
