October 29, 2015

IT solutions and staffing provider Ciber Inc. (NYSE: CBR) reported third-quarter revenue fell 9% to $192.6 million. Revenue fell 1% on a constant currency basis at the Greenwood Village, Colo.-based firm. Fluctuations in European currencies versus the US dollar continue to impact Ciber’s 2015 results.

North America revenue rose 4% year over year; however, revenue in Ciber’s international division fell 21% year over year, down 6% in constant currency, mainly due to a decline in the UK.
