Business software firm Descartes Systems Group says its second quarter profits rose to $2-million (U.S.) on the back of revenue that was 35 per cent higher than the comparable period.

The Waterloo, Ont.-based company reported Thursday that earnings were worth three cents per share, compared to $800,000 a year ago or two cents per share a year earlier.

The results were positively affected by $100,000 in income tax recoveries.

Revenues grew 35 per cent to $25.2-million from $18.6-million.

"We're on-course strategically and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead for Descartes," said chief executive Art Mesher.

"Our customers and ... partners continue to help us grow . . . and strengthen our position as a leading . . . provider of logistics solutions."

Descartes provides business applications and networks to make it easier for companies to deal with customs filing and the shipping of goods.
