Financial Results
Over the first quarter of 2016, Noble Iron recorded revenues of $6.5 million, a 15% or $0.8 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2015. This increase was due to an increase in equipment rental and distribution revenue driven by higher utilization and asset sharing initiatives and the strengthening of the US dollar. Software revenue remained relatively flat on a year over year basis as last year contained a number of one-time revenue gains and the company's new software products currently remain early in the roll-out stage.
