Re: CRYP increases dividend
This will make for an even more interesting conference call tomorrow morning. CRYP is sitting on a heavy pile of cash, and management apparently believes distributing their cash back to shareholders is a good use of the money. That's not the kind of action I would expect from a small-cap growth company. Could this be a move meant to brace their stock against a slowed/negative earnings growth report?

Re: CRYP increases dividend
What do you think CRYP should be doing with their cash?
Remember, they are basically a software company, taking a piece of the action... essentially they are rolling in money and couldn't possibly spend it all on expansion activities... returning some of the cash horde to their stockholders is better than it sitting in their bank account doing nothing.

Re: CRYP increases dividend
True... Also CRYP already announced their intention to repurchase up to 10% of their shares on the open market. And rewarding investors through dividends is definitely better than a lavish executive reward package. It just seems strange when a supposed small-cap growth stock sees no growth to the point where it makes more sense to distribute its earnings. The management really can't figure out anything more profitable to do with it?

Re: Crytologic (CRYP) Press Relase 3rd Qtr earnings
Wow! CRYP delivered an incredible earnings report today. Earnings were up big both on the casino and poker side. Surprisingly, casino revenue increased faster than poker revenue. Management continued to reiterate their belief that the current market valuations of their stock does not reflect the true value of the company. On the topic of their cash stockpile, management quoted Warren Buffett on the prudent use of the money. Along with established plan for an increased dividend and maximum share repurchasing, management also discussed the possibility of a special dividend as well as the profile for acquisitions of other software developers that specialize in skill games such as mahjong, chess, checkers, backgammon and developing mobile software platforms. Looking forward into 2006, William Hill and UKBetting contracts expire in 2006.
