NOTE: To better reflect the manner in which these revenue streams are generated and assessed by management, beginning in the first quarter of 2014, Tucows reclassified its revenue streams into Domain Services and Network Access Services.  Domain Services includes Wholesale OpenSRS (Domain Service and Value Added Services), Retail (Hover) and Portfolio.  Network Access Services includes Ting.

Mr. Noss said, “We continue to see steady performance from our Domains Services business.  Notably, Wholesale Domains gross margin for the second quarter was up 11% from a year ago on similar volumes due to our shifting sales mix to higher margin services. Retail delivered yet another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth in excess of 20%.”Net revenue for the second quarter of 2014 increased 14% to $35.6 million from $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2013.

Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $1.3 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with $0.6 million, or $0.06 per share, for the second quarter of 2013. Included in net income for the second quarter of 2014 was a write-off of $0.3 million related to indefinite life intangible assets, the result of the Company’s assessment, under its normal portfolio review process, that certain domains acquired in June 2006 not be renewed. In addition, net income for the second quarter of the prior year included the benefit of a $0.5 million Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit from the Ontario government.
