For the current quarter period, its revenues stood at $256m, up by 7% from $240.2m during the corresponding quarter last year.

During the three month period ended on 31 March 2012, its gross profit rose by 8% to $103.4m from $95.3m in the third quarter of last fiscal year.

For the nine months period ended 31 March 2012, total revenue generated by the firm stood at $760.5m against $717.6m during the first nine months of last fiscal.

The company said that its net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 summed up to $111.7m, or $1.28 per diluted share, versus $100.9m, or $1.17 per diluted share for the same nine month period a year ago.

Jack Henry & Associates CEO Jack Prim said that the company expects an improved spending environment, favorably influenced by improving financial institution balance sheets and fee income that has been less negatively impacted than was expected a year ago.

"In addition to the solid financial performance in the quarter our biennial employee engagement survey showed solid gains across the board, which we believe bodes well for our Customers and our Shareholders," Prim said.

Operating income grew by 12% to $56.5m, or 22% of third quarter revenue, compared to $50.5m, or 21% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

For the third quarter of 2012, the bank systems and services segment revenue was $194.7m, up by 6% from $183.5m in the same quarter last year.
