The company reported net income of $30.6 million, or 4 cents per share, in the most recent quarter, up from $6.7 million, or 1 cent per share, in the same quarter last year.
Adjusted earnings per share were 40 cents, higher than the 34 cents that FactSet's survey of analysts had predicted.
According to FactSet, revenue increased by 18% to $898.4 million, barely surpassing Wall Street's prediction of $896.9 million.
European sales rose 20% to $137 million, while U.S. and Canadian sales jumped 16% to $719 million. The world's revenue increased by 38% to $42 million.
