Thursday, May 2, 1:06 PM The SEC's probe of Ebix's (EBIX -5.6%) accounting has been "upgraded to a formal investigation," Bloomberg reports. That has led shares of the insurance software firm to tumble to $19.44, 2.8% below Goldman's $20/share buyout price. Bloomberg originally reported of an SEC probe back in Nov.; CEO Robin Raina responded by calling the report "inaccurate and misleading." SA contributor Gotham City Research has been quite critical of Ebix's accounting (also to Raina's displeasure). 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 1, 9:49 AM Goldman Sachs (GS) apparently sees accounting issues at Ebix (EBIX +4.8%) a bit differently than Gotham City Research as an affiliate of the bank inks a deal to buy the company for $20/share in cash. (PR) 3 Comments [Financials, Tech, M&A, Breaking News]
Thursday, March 14, 9:26 AM Ebix (EBIX) +14.2% following its mixed Q4 results. The fact shares were well below Oct./Nov. levels led to lowered expectations. Gross margin was 80.7%, +50 bps Y/Y. Opex +22%, nearly even with revenue growth. $3.2M worth of shares were repurchased, and more repurchases are expected in Q1, leading to a slight reduction in share count. No revenue/EPS guidance in the PR. CC at 11AM ET (webcast). (PR) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]

Friday, February 22, 11:15 AM Ebix (EBIX -9.4%) responds to SA contributor Gotham City Research's claims of improper accounting with a terse PR that calls Gotham's assertions "unsubstantiated," and insists Ebix's financial reporting "complies with all SEC reporting requirements."

Thursday, February 21, 9:29 AM Ebix (EBIX) -2.7% after SA contributor Gotham City Research accuses the insurance software maker of a long list of accounting misdeeds. Among other things, Gotham City notes the existence of a $65.8M related party loan by Ebix's Singapore unit, claims Ebix's Australian revenue (as disclosed in Australian filings) is a fraction of what's claimed in SEC filings, and estimates 20%-40% of accounts receivable "seem of dubious quality." The SEC has already launched a probe of Ebix's accounting. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, November 8, 2012, 2:40 PM Ebix (EBIX -3.7%) is lower following its Q3 report, even though the insurance software firm beat estimates and raised its quarterly dividend by 50% to $0.075/share. The company now sports a yield of 1.7%. A slight Q/Q drop in deferred revenue to $18.05M might not be going over well, given revenue rose 13% Q/Q.
