   “The third quarter of fiscal 2017 showed strong additional sales from our base accounts in healthcare along with two new contracts added by our complex distribution team,” TECSYS President and CEO Peter Brereton said of the results. “This momentum drove an 11 percent increase in revenue, which our continued discipline on operating expenses allowed us to leverage into earnings growth and a 45 percent increase in EBITDA.

We were also successful in winning another government sector project, this time in the UK,” he added.
