Selling and marketing expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 increased over the prior year quarter due mainly to increased commission expense, but was a consistent percentage of total revenue in both quarters.
The increases in research and development costs are mostly due to increased salaries and personnel costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased compared to the prior quarter due mainly to a gain recognized on the sale of a business, as well as decreased spending on travel, meetings, and litigation. These factors also drove the year-to-date decrease.
Excluding Alogent revenue and costs from fiscal 2016, and deconversion fees from both years, operating income increased 3% for the quarter and increased 7% for the year-to-date period.
Net Income
Third quarter net income totaled $60.0 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $53.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, for an increase in net income of 11% and an increase in diluted earnings per share of 13%.
Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased 10% to $181.1 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, compared to $164.6 million or $2.06 per diluted share in the same period of fiscal 2016.
