LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Lexmark International, Inc. today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015.
“Lexmark had a good fourth quarter. We more than doubled fourth quarter Enterprise Software non-GAAP operating income margin year to year to 24 percent, and delivered full year MPS revenue growth for the 16th consecutive year,” said Paul Rooke, Lexmark chairman and chief executive officer. “Our Higher Value Solutions now comprise more than 40 percent of Core revenue and grew 26 percent in constant currency.
“We continue to focus on the growth and transformation of the company. In January, we announced Lexmark’s next generation of A4 color lasers and smart MFPs, which are optimized for MPS and business process solutions,” added Rooke. “In fact, these devices are already integrated with Lexmark’s recently announced Kofax Onboarding Agility solution, which automates and streamlines new customer onboarding processes.
“At the same time we are continuing our exploration of strategic alternatives and are very pleased with the progress being made, including the positive interest we are receiving,” Rooke added. “During this process, we remain squarely focused on the execution of our strategy, our commitment to our customers, partners, suppliers and employees and driving value for our shareholders. Last week, we demonstrated our ongoing commitment to rewarding our shareholders with the announcement of our 18th consecutive quarterly dividend.”
