Constellation Software reports US$152M Q4 profit, acquisitions help lift revenue
Constellation Software Inc. reported a fourth-quarter profit of US$152 million, up from $124 million a year earlier, as acquisitions helped its revenue grow.
The company, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, says the profit amounted to US$7.19 per diluted share for the quarter ended Dec. 31.
The result compared with a profit of US$5.86 per diluted share in the last three months of 2021.
Revenue totalled US$1.85 billion, up from US$1.38 billion a year earlier.
