Enghouse Releases First Quarter Results

MARKHAM, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 03/09/16 — Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX: ESL) today announced its first quarter (unaudited) financial results for the period ended January 31, 2016.

First quarter revenue increased by 18.0% to $74.4 million, compared to revenue of $63.0 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Increased revenue in the quarter reflects incremental revenue from acquisitions and the favourable impact of foreign exchange. Income from operating activities was $17.8 million compared to $15.6 million in prior year–s first quarter, an increase of 14.6%. Net income for the quarter was $8.5 million or $0.31 per diluted share compared to $2.5 million or $0.09 per diluted share in the prior year–s first quarter, which reflected the final settlement of a litigation matter. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $19.1 million or $0.70 per diluted share compared to $16.2 million or $0.60 per diluted share last year, an increase of 17.8%.

Operating expenses before special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations were $32.4 million compared to $27.6 million in the prior year–s first quarter and reflect incremental operating costs related to acquisitions and the negative impact of foreign exchange. Non-cash amortization charges in the quarter were $6.8 million compared to $5.4 million in the prior year–s first quarter and include amortization charges for acquired software and customer relationships from acquired operations. Operating expenses in the quarter also include $11.4 million or 15.3% of revenue in research and development related expenses compared to $9.9 million or 15.7% in prior year–s first quarter. The Company–s continued investment in research and development was recently recognized with two product awards from industry analysts.

Enghouse closed the quarter with $80.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $98.4 million at October 31, 2015. The cash balance was achieved after payment of $26.0 million (net of cash acquired) for CTI Group (Holdings) Inc., acquired on December 7, 2015 and cash dividends of $3.2 million. The Company continues to have no long-term debt.

The Board of Directors also approved a 17% increase in its eligible quarterly dividend to $0.14 per common share, payable on May 31, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2016. Enghouse has now increased its dividend in each of the past eight years.

On March 4, 2016, Enghouse announced the acquisition of CellVision AS (“CellVision”). CellVision expands the Asset Management Group–s footprint in the Nordic region and extends its product offerings aimed at the telecommunications service provider market. Enghouse continues to seek acquisitions that will augment its operations in the networks, transportation and call center markets and further diversify its revenue stream.

A conference call to discuss the results will be held on Thursday March 10, 2016 at 8:45 a.m. EST. To participate, please call 416-640-5946 or North American Toll-Free 1-866-233-4585. No PIN required.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures to assess its operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than GAAP do not have standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as results from operating activities adjusted for depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and special charges for acquisition related restructuring costs. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance as it excludes amortization of software and intangibles (which is an accounting allocation of the cost of software and intangible assets arising on acquisition), any impact of finance and tax related activities, asset depreciation, other income and restructuring costs primarily related to acquisitions.
