On a GAAP basis, loss came in at 27 cents versus 18 cents in comparable quarter prior year and was within the company’s guidance range of loss of 30 cents to 26 cents per share.

The company reported revenues of $654.3 million, a 10.2% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. The robust performance during the quarter was primarily driven by increased volume arising from new contracts, higher revenues from existing contracts, lower operating expenses and fuel costs offset by increased compensation and insurance expense.

Shutterfly’s fourth quarter earnings of 88 cents per share were well ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 70 cents, driven primarily by better-than-expected growth in revenue.

The company has performed well in both its segments, AMR and EmCare. We expect the growth momentum to continue with increased volume from new contracts, suitable acquisitions, better penetration in existing markets and operational efficiencies. We believe the industry dynamics are currently quite favorable for the company since the outsourcing of emergency services is increasingly encouraged by government agencies and healthcare facilities, allowing them to reduce costs without compromising on quality. Given these factors, we upgrade the stock to Outperform. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>
