Majesco Announces Fiscal 2017 Third Quarter Financial Results
Majesco, a global provider of core insurance software and consulting
services for insurance business transformation, today announced its
financial results for the fiscal 2017 third quarter ended December 31,
2016.
"Our revenue grew 1.3% during the fiscal 2017 third quarter which
increases our year to date revenue growth to 15.6%. Additionally we
continued to improve our adjusted EBITDA for the fourth consecutive
quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 455 basis points from 1.27% of
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to 5.82% of revenue
for the three months ended December 31, 2016. We improved profitability
by strengthening our portfolio with higher margin cloud business and
improving operational efficiency. The proportion of the cloud business
increased by 28% from $14.3 million to $18.3 million on a year to date
basis," commented Ketan Mehta, CEO and Co-Founder.
"We believe our growth opportunity for cloud based solutions is
significant and is across all tiers and types of insurance carriers.
Majesco's compelling cloud offering and track record of successfully
delivering speed to value and business model transformation positions
the company to lead this trend. We continue to invest in our cloud based
solution and I am pleased that we expanded our customer relationships
with two customers for software in the cloud this quarter," concluded
Mr. Mehta.
Financial Highlights
For the third quarter ended December 31, 2016
-
Revenue for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased to
$30.0 million as compared to $29.6 million in the corresponding
quarter of last year. The moderate 1.3% increase during the quarter
was due to a slowdown in the L&A business and the impact to the
exchange rate on GBP for the UK business.
-
Gross profit was $14.7 million (49.0% of revenue) for the third
quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $12.6 million (42.4% of
revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The increase in
gross profit was due to new projects being delivered at higher margins
and improved operating efficiencies.
-
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $4.0 million (13.2% of
revenue) during the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 as compared
to $4.2 million (14.3% of revenue) during the quarter ended December
31, 2015.
-
SG&A expenses were $10.6 million (35.2% of revenue) during the third
quarter ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $10.6 million (35.8% of
revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
-
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $1.8
million (5.8% of revenue) as compared to a negative $1.1 million (3.7%
of revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
-
Net income for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $0.2
million, or $0.01 per share as compared to a net loss of $1.1 million,
or $(0.03) per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation
tables of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as used in this press release to
GAAP are included in the financial section of this press release.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2016
-
Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 increased 15.6% to
$93.6 million as compared to $81.0 million in the corresponding period
of last year. The growth was driven by additional revenues from new
customers and the addition of the Cover-All business added during this
period and expanding relationships with P&C customers.
-
Gross profit was $44.9 million (48.0% of revenue) for the nine months
ended December 31, 2016, compared to $36.0 million (44.5% of revenue)
for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in gross
margin was primarily due to the combination of a higher revenue base,
higher proportion of cloud business and improved operating
efficiencies.
-
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $13.0 million (13.9% of
revenue) during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to
$11.6 million (14.4% of revenue) during the nine months ended December
31, 2015. The increased expense was in line with the company's R&D
roadmap for both P&C and L&A business.
-
SG&A expenses were $31.9 million (34.0% of revenue) during the nine
months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $27.7 million (34.2% of
revenue) for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increased
SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended
December 31, 2016 was mainly due to investments in our sales &
marketing efforts and the addition of the Cover-All business.
-
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $4.5
million (4.8% of revenue) as compared to $0.2 million (0.2% of
revenue) for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.
-
Net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $0.1 million,
or ($0.00) per share, as compared to net loss of $2.0 million, or
$(0.06) per share, for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation
tables of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as used in this press release to
GAAP are included in the financial section of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use EBITDA as a supplemental
measure of operating performance. We define EBITDA as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA
because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial
performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before one-time
non-recurring costs related to the merger with Cover-All Technologies
and the listing of the Majesco common stock on the NYSE-MKT in
connection with the merger, and stock-based compensation.
The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and are not a
measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity
presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have
limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing Majesco's
operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted
EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other
consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. Among other things, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our
actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures
differently than Majesco, limiting their usefulness as comparative
tools. We compensate for these limitations by relying on U.S. GAAP
results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
