DST Earned $48.7 Million in 2Q09, a 2% Decline

DST Systems reported second quarter profits of $48.7 million, a 2% dip from the $49.9 million it earned in the second quarter of 2008.

Revenues decreased 5.2% to $404.5 million, primarily due to a $13.6 million decline in output solutions and a $6.8 million decline in financial services. DST said this was due to decreased demand for items mailed, images produced and data processing support. However, total mutual fund shareholder accounts serviced increase 1.3%, or 1.5 million accounts, to a total of 118.9 million accounts.
