By Crf Health, PRNESunday, February 28, 2010
LANSDALE, Pennsylvania, March 1, 2010 - CRF Health, a leading provider of electronic Patient Reported Outcomes
(ePRO) for the life sciences industry, announced record-setting growth and
earnings for 2009. Client commitments grew by 65% and resulted in
record-setting revenue, earnings and backlog. Sales came from both new and
existing clients and the company continues to gain market share. New products
such as its TrialSlate(R) devices contributed strongly to the growth.
"CRF Health has established a pattern of consistent, reliable growth and
earnings. We are proud to have set a record for earnings for the second year
in a row, especially in this economic environment," said Jeff Payne, chief
financial officer. "Profitability is strong, market share is increasing and
prospects for 2010 are very positive."
Building on 2009's impressive performance, CRF Health plans to continue
investing in workforce and technology to serve the growing ePRO market. In
2008, the company introduced Windows Mobile(R) device technology to its ePRO
solutions offerings. In 2009, the company added a new TrialSlate(R) product
and an updated version of its TrialMax(R) 4.0 ePRO software suite.
"The ePRO market is growing," said Mary Briggs, vice president of global
sales and marketing for CRF Health. "Our recent performance reflects this.
Not only are we experiencing record growth, but we are also seeing tremendous
interest in user group meetings. Our first meeting in 2010 had a 300%
increase in attendance over 2009. Clearly, clients are embracing and engaging
with ePRO technology more than ever before."
