Dolan Media, the parent company of a number of business newspapers, reported fourth-quarter profits that rose 10 percent due to help from the economic turmoil, which drives its foreclosure information business.
“Dolan’s two divisions, business information and professional services, both brought in revenue for the quarter. In the business information division — the side that publishes nearly 60 business and legal newspapers — public notice revenue grew by 8.6 percent for the quarter to $10.1 million, with much of that growth coming from the acquisition of The Mecklenburg Times in Charlotte, N.C.
“Circulation revenue fell 5.3 percent to $3.2 million, the result of decreased bulk renewals of publications at several law firms.
“On the professional services side of the company, which provides specialized services to the legal profession, revenue grew 105 percent to $37 million for the quarter. Dolan subsidiary American Processing Company LLC, a leading provider of mortgage default processing services in the country, provided a boost to the company with $19.5 million in revenues.”
