NIC to Postpone its First Quarter 2005 Earnings Announcement and Investor Conference Call

OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2005--NIC Inc. (Nasdaq:EGOV) today announced that it will postpone its first quarter 2005 earnings announcement and conference call in order to allow additional time for the Company to address a change in management approach in its California Secretary of State software and services engagement.
"Following an internal assessment of our California Secretary of State contract earlier this week, we are making changes to the management structure of this project," said Jeff Fraser, NIC's Chief Executive Officer. "We are currently reviewing the financial impact of these changes and will proceed with our first quarter earnings announcement once a final decision has been reached." Components of the portal financial statements are not subject to change and indicate healthy growth in the first quarter. Portal revenues for the first quarter were a record $13.7 million, a 12 percent increase over the prior year quarter. On a same state basis, portal revenues grew 16 percent in the first quarter. NIC's online income tax filings, criminal background checks, and hunting and fishing licenses performed well in the first quarter, helping same state revenues from non-driver record exchange (non-DMV) services to rise 39 percent. During the same period, same state DMV revenues grew 10 percent over first quarter 2004.
