Real profits, shared. One of the most rewarding things about running a profitable business is rewarding others with a share of the profits. For years we've had a profit share system in place where we take 10% of our annual profits and distribute them to our employees based on their tenure. For years we've been knocked by the valley/VC crew for not offering equity. We think we offer something better: Real cash, every year, directly to our employees, when we show a profit. And given that we've been profitable for 25 years, it's not a maybe-one-day-dream, it's been an annual reality. Never a guarantee, but far more reliable than equity that runs at the whim of a public or illiquid private market, rounds of dilution, preferred vs. common, etc. And this year, I'm especially proud to say that we've been able to distribute 6-figure profit shares to 20 employees. That's over a third of our company, including folks in customer service, design, programming, ops/SIP, HR. The rest who were eligible received 5-digit shares, with a few employees new to the pool earning 4-digit shares. Real cash people can spend today on real things today. Not fantasy maybe money later. Last year was an especially great year for us. Both on the revenue side and cost side. We saw a double-digit boost on the top line, and cut our costs significantly at the same time. The result: more money to our profit-share eligible employees. And a lot of it. Independent, self-funded, profitable, 25-years and running. We wouldn't have it any other way.
