Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, was $6.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared with $10.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Cash provided by operations for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $12.9 million, compared with $14.7 million for the prior-year fourth quarter. Cash collections for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, were $53.2 million, compared with cash collections of $56.2 million for the prior-year fourth quarter.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $204.7 million, compared with total revenues of $200.9 million for the prior year. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $32.9 million, or $2.94 per diluted share, compared with $32.7 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013.
