The company said Kintera revenue of $16.1 million for the nine months pushed results up by 4 percent. Without that added money, Blackbaud's nine-month income would have dipped by 3 percent. Even with the inclusion of Kintera, third-quarter revenue was off by 1 percent from the corresponding period a year earlier. As with many software companies, Blackbaud saw license sales drop while maintenance revenue rose. Income from new licenses dropped to $5.9 million for the most recently ended quarter, down 27 percent from $8.1 million a year ago. The fall off in service revenue was less, declining 4.3 percent to $22.8 million from $27.1 million. Maintenance revenue, however, rose to $29.8 million, up 9 percent from $27.4 million a year earlier. Subscription revenue climbed even more steeply, reaching $19.2 million, an increase of 24 percent from $15.5 million.
