Enghouse Releases Third Quarter Results

MARKHAM, ON, Sept. 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH) today announced its third quarter (unaudited) financial results for the period ended July 31, 2018.

Third quarter revenue increased to $86.7 million, compared to revenue of $82.8 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The revenue increase primarily reflects contributions from acquisitions. Income from operating activities was $26.7 million compared to $22.6 million in the prior year's third quarter, an increase of 18.1%. Net income for the quarter was $16.1 million or $0.58 per diluted share compared to $11.2 million or $0.41 per diluted share in the prior year's third quarter, an increase of 43.6%.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $27.4 million or $1.00 per diluted share, compared to $23.4 million or $0.86 per diluted share last year, with the increase being attributable to contributions from acquisitions and operating cost synergies.

On a year-to-date basis, revenue was $257.0 million compared to revenue of $241.1 million in the prior year, an increase of 6.6%. Income from operating activities was $75.9 million, compared to $66.6 million in the prior year-to-date, an increase of 14.0%. Adjusted EBITDA for the year to date increased 13.1% to $78.1 million or $2.86 per diluted share compared to $69.0 million or $2.53 per diluted share last year. Net income for the year to date was $38.2 million or $1.40 per diluted share compared to $31.9 million or $1.17 per diluted share last year.

Operating expenses before special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations were $34.1 million compared to $35.0 million in the prior year's third quarter and reflect operating cost savings, net of incremental operating costs related to acquisitions. Non-cash amortization charges on acquired software and customer relationships from acquired operations were $7.2 million for the quarter compared to $7.4 million in the prior year's third quarter. On a year-to-date basis, operating expenses before special charges were $102.3 million or 39.8% of revenue compared to $98.9 million or 41.0% of revenue last year.

The Company generated strong cash flows from operating activities of $29.3 million compared to $25.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. On a year-to-date basis, cash flows from operating activities were $74.2 million compared to $54.1 million in the prior year, an increase of 37.1%. As a result, Enghouse closed the quarter with a record $178.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $130.3 million at October 31, 2017. The cash balance was achieved after year-to-date payments of $13.5 million in cash dividends, $9.7 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions concluded in the current fiscal year and $6.9 million for acquisitions closed in prior periods.

Today, the Board of Directors approved the Company's quarterly dividend of $0.18 per common share, payable on November 30, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2018.

A conference call to discuss the results will be held on Friday, September 7, 2018 at 8:45 a.m. EST. To participate, please call +1-416-204-1042 or North American Toll-Free +1-888-504-7961. 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, foreign exchange gains and losses, 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, property plant and equipment depreciation, foreign exchange gains and losses, other income and restructuring costs primarily related to acquisitions.
