Transax International Limited TNSX), a network solutions company for healthcare providers and health insurance companies, today reported continued revenue and transaction growth for the first quarter of 2006.
During the first quarter of 2006, Transax expects to announce it has processed a record 1.85 million transactions, compared to 1.3 million for the first quarter of 2005. As a result of continued installations during the quarter, the company executed a record 700,000 transactions during March 2006. The Company anticipates recording net revenues of approximately $1.0 million, compared to net revenues of $640,408 for the same period in 2005, representing an approximate 55% increase.
The Company currently has 5,500 solutions operational in Brazil. During the quarter it replaced many legacy solutions amongst our client network, resulting in 65% of transactions now coming from Point of Sales (POS) installations. Five medical laboratories were newly integrated with the Company's solutions this quarter in Brazil. During March 2006 the Company undertook a record 150,000 real-time medical laboratory transactions on behalf of its clients.
Stephen Walters, President & CEO of Transax, commented, "During the first quarter we continued to rollout previously announced contracts which resulted in a significant increase in transaction volume. We are currently processing approximately 700,000 transactions per month, up over 50% from the same period last year. At this rate, we now expect to process over 2 million transactions during the second quarter of 2006." Mr. Walters continued, "Our net revenues for the quarter were up sharply from last year as well and we are confident this trend will continue throughout the year."
Additionally, during the quarter, the Company signed a new client for its MedLink Solution in Brazil and commenced a strategic partnership with Brazil's largest Medical Practice Management Solution to integrate the Company's MedLink technology. Both of these initiatives are expected to become revenue generating during the second half of 2006.
