Mitel Reports First Quarter Results
OTTAWA, May 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitel® (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW), a global leader in business communications, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Financial Highlights from Continuing Operations
1 – 2017 pro forma results assume Mitel and ShoreTel had combined on January 1, 2017. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of results that actually would have occurred had the combination occurred on such date.
The Company reported that On-Site Products and Services revenues were down 8% in constant currency during the March 2018 quarter and are contracting faster than previously expected. Pro forma overall revenues in constant currency declined 3% versus the prior year quarter.
The Company reported Cloud Recurring revenues that were largely in-line with management’s expectations, but noted that Cloud Recurring bookings declined compared to the prior year quarter.
Favorable foreign exchange rates were a significant contributor to Q1 revenue and earnings, but were partially offset by accelerating market decline for On-Site Products and Services combined with slower than expected integration progress in the Company’s combined UCaaS business.
Business Highlights
Conference Call Information
Subsequent to the announcement issued on April 24, 2018 that Mitel has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Searchlight Capital Partners, the company will not hold the previously scheduled conference call to discuss its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. Questions about the results reported in this release can be directed into the company’s investor relations department. Contact information is provided at the end of this release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
This press release includes references to non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS (earnings per share) or non-GAAP net income per common share and Constant Currency. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assist management and investors in understanding our past financial performance and prospects for the future, including changes in our operating results, trends and marketplace performance. Non-GAAP measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Please see the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure attached to this release.
