That helped the company overcome the tumbling Russian ruble and a still-troubled business in Norway. In this week's earnings webcast CEO Thomas Honoré said the year ended December 31 was  "Overall 2015 was a very good year for Columbus, with record results for the third year in a row." Net income was about $10.2 million, an increase of 32.7 percent over 2014. That included a currency gain of roughly $259,000, compared to a currency loss of about $332,000 the prior year. Revenue reached around $170 million, up 28 percent from 2014. BMI was the single biggest factor in the M&A action. Honoré said the company had added nearly 200 employees—BMI alone had 125. Revenue from the United States, which includes the separate Columbus U.S., was about $59.3 million, a rise of 161.3 percent. Dragging down results was revenue from the Norway subsidiary which fell 42.2 percent to approximately $8.6 million. Russia revenue dropped 20.7 percent to roughly $11 million, mostly from the shaky Russian currency.
