IDX Systems post double-digit gains in 3Q

Growth in its Carecast and Imagecast products powered IDX Systems Corp. to greater revenues in the third quarter.

 Revenues increased to $101.4 million, compared with $88.9 million in the third quarter of 2002. Net income for the third quarter 2003 was $10.3 million, compared with $4.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

 For the nine-month period, revenues rose to $292.2 million, up from $254.8 million in the same period in 2002. Net income advanced to $46.3 million, compared with $11.1 million in the year-ago period.

 Revenues for all periods presented reflect the elimination of IDX's medical transcription services business operated through its former, wholly owned subsidiary, EDiX Corp, which was divested in June.
