Enghouse Releases Second Quarter Results


MARKHAM, ON, June 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH) today announced its second quarter (unaudited) financial results for the period ended April 30, 2019.

Second quarter revenue increased to $89.2 million, compared to revenue of $85.2 million in the second quarter of the prior year. The revenue increase primarily reflects contributions from acquisitions and incremental license revenue in both operating groups. Results from operating activities were $26.6 million compared to $24.7 million in the prior year's second quarter, an increase of 7.9%. Net income for the quarter was $16.5 million or $0.30 per diluted share compared to $15.3 million or $0.28 per diluted share in the prior year's second quarter. 

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $27.2 million or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $25.4 million or $0.46 per diluted share last year, with the increase being attributable to incremental revenue contributions from acquisitions and operating cost synergies.

On a year-to-date basis, revenue was $175.2 million, compared to revenue of $170.3 million in the prior year.  Results from operating activities was $52.4 million compared to $49.2 million in the prior year-to-date, an increase of 6.6%. On a year-to-date basis Adjusted EBITDA was $53.5 million or $0.97 per diluted share compared to $50.7 million or $0.93 per diluted share last year.

Operating expenses before special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations were $35.1 million compared to $34.4 million in the prior year's second quarter and reflect incremental operating costs related to acquisitions, net of operating cost synergies. Non-cash amortization charges on acquired software and customer relationships from acquired operations were $6.9 million for the quarter compared to $7.4 million in the prior year's second quarter. 

The Company generated cash flows from operating activities of $21.6 million compared to $21.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. On a year to date basis, cash flows from operating activities was $45.8 million, an increase of 1.9% compared to the prior year. As a result, Enghouse closed the quarter with $205.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $193.9 million at October 31, 2018. The cash balance was achieved after payments of $9.8 million for cash dividends and $25.6 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions concluded in the current fiscal year and $1.1 million for acquisitions closed in prior years.

Subsequent to quarter end, Enghouse completed the acquisitions of Vidyo, Inc. and Espial Group Inc. The acquisitions extend the Company's product portfolio to include enterprise-class video software solutions to enable customers to more efficiently collaborate and interact, as well as a solution portfolio to help video service providers launch the next generation video offerings for cable, IPTV and App-based IP video services.

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.
