69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) has announced solid growth for the three months and year ended 30 November 2013, with revenue up 14.7 per cent in the fourth quarter and 5.0 per cent for the year.

The company says increasing service revenue contributed to improved profitability and stability of cash flows, while its China XPCT investment contributed strong earnings in the fourth quarter and the year. Revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 rose 14.7 per cent to US$12.6 million compared to US$11.0 million for the same period last year. For the year ended 30 November 30 revenue was US$43.6 million compared to US$41.6 million in 2012.
 
"After a slow start to the year, business in the majority of our geographic markets recovered strongly, resulting in three consecutive quarters of solid revenue growth in 2013, improved profit margins, and increased net earnings," commented Terry Bergan, president and CEO. "Our North and Latin American operations led our growth with 11.3% and 31.8% increases in revenue, respectively. We are also pleased to see a very solid and increased contribution from our 50 per cent equity interest in our Chinese operation XPCT for the year."

Bergan continued: "Looking ahead, we believe our growth and improved profitability will continue, driven by strengthening demand for our product offerings in the majority of our markets, and we look for another year of solid performance in 2014."
