IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CorVel Corporation reported earnings per share of $0.17 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, up 45% from per share earnings of $0.12 for the same quarter of the prior year. December quarter revenues were $63 million, down from $70 million in the December quarter of 2005. Revenues and earnings for the quarter reflected the Company's improving results in its Network Solutions product line. The continuing soft workers' compensation claims market, regulatory compliance expenses and recent hurricane disruptions also impacted results.
Ongoing improvements to CorVel's line of document management and medical review systems, as well as expansions to the Company's PPO's, are improving Network Solutions results. Reduced operating expenses and improving productivity also contributed to improving results.
Regulatory compliance expenses continue to add to corporate overhead; however, branch operations continued to improve productivity. The globalization of labor markets continued to impact the U.S. labor market, extending the period of low claims in the current industry cycle. Regulatory changes in several states are requiring product configuration changes. The Company is a leader in the facilitation of employer compliance with such regional workers' compensation requirements.
