First Quarter Results
Total revenue was a record $25.1 million in the first quarter of 2012, a 6% sequential increase from $23.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, and a 71% increase from $14.7 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 were $3.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $2.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011, and net earnings of $15,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011.
"We experienced higher than expected demand for our eBook services in the first quarter as platform owners continued to make significant investments in their digital inventories," said Jack Abuhoff, the Company`s Chairman and CEO. "We will continue working to extend our eBook services capabilities to stay at the forefront of this market. We will also continue to invest in IADS where we see significant opportunities for more predictable and even growth. We are pleased that IADS has begun to contribute to revenues from pilot projects this quarter, and are enthusiastic about its progress."
Abuhoff concluded, "Our $25.1 million in revenues during the first quarter exceeded our $21 million forecast because of stronger than expected demand. We anticipate that revenues in the second quarter of 2012 will also exceed $21 million but not to the same extent as in the first quarter."

On February 8, 2012 we noted that INOD was gaining steam at $5.00, partly because of its involvement in the E-Book space:
The GeoTeam is taking a closer look at Innodata Isogen (NASDAQ:INOD) due to their positive financial release yesterday. The stock has a social media slant to it that we do not believe the market is fully aware of yet. With a trailing P/E of about 30, the stock is not cheap, but “social media fever” is taking front stage lately, so we initiated a short-term long position. The company has a growing division that works with publishers to convert books to e-book formats.
After performing a little more DD, per INOD’s website , it looks like the company has a unique relationship with Apple (AAPL)
“no company in our competitive set has more experience with EPUB , the key to device-independent interoperability. In fact, Apple has selected Innodata Isogen as just one of two authorized conversion service providers for its mobile platforms, including the iPhone and iPad ."
The company has not been overly touting this relationship. We will continue to monitor the story to see if the market will do the touting for it.
