ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 2009--
For the third time in four years, Cass Information Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CASS) was named to Forbes Magazine’s list of the “Best
200 Small Companies.” Ranked 124 in the 2009 list, Cass’ previous
rankings were 104 in 2008 and 170 in 2006.
Staying power distinguishes Cass from the 71 companies on last year's
list whose subsequent performance eliminated them from the 2009 rankings.
According to Forbes, “Rankings are based on earnings growth,
sales growth and return on equity in the past 12 months and over five
years. We also compared the stock performance of each company with that
of its peers.” To be eligible, companies must be publicly traded and
produce annual revenue between $5 million and $750 million.
Cass serves Fortune 1,000 organizations with outsourced expense
management solutions for “complex payables” such as invoices for
utilities, telecom and logistical expenses. Complex payables are
characterized by invoices with high complexity, error rates and content
value. Cass provides value by lowering costs through improved invoice
process efficiencies and effective audit controls as well as by
converting raw data from invoices to actionable business intelligence.
