Enghouse Releases First Quarter Results

MARKHAM, ON, March 7, 2019
MARKHAM, ON, March 7, 2019 /CNW/ - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH) today announced its first quarter (unaudited) and financial results for the period ended January 31, 2019.
First quarter revenue increased to $86.0 million, compared to revenue of $85.1 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The revenue increase primarily reflects contributions from acquisitions, which were offset by a decline in license revenue in the Interactive Management Group. Income from operating activities was $25.8 million compared to $24.5 million in the prior year's first quarter, an increase of 5.2%. Net income for the quarter was $15.0 million or $0.27 per diluted share compared to $6.8 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the prior year's first quarter. Last year's first quarter included a one-time charge of U.S. $6.2 million to reflect the impact of United States Tax Reform.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $26.3 million or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $25.3 million or $0.46 per diluted share last year, with the increase being attributable to contributions from acquisitions and operating cost synergies.
Operating expenses before special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations were $33.0 million compared to $33.9 million in the prior year's first 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 $7.1 million for the quarter compared to $7.2 million in the prior year's first quarter.
The Company generated cash flows from operating activities of $24.2 million compared to $23.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, a 4.5% increase. As a result, Enghouse closed the quarter with $190.5 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 $4.9 million for cash dividends and $22.4 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions concluded in the current fiscal year and $1.1 million for acquisitions closed in prior years.
On December 21, 2018, the Company declared a stock dividend payable on the basis of one common share for each common share held as at January 22, 2019, which was paid on January 25, 2019. This dividend doubled the number of shares outstanding to 54,638,024 as at January 31, 2019 and effectively achieved a two-for-one stock split. Today, the Board of Directors approved a 22% increase to the Company's eligible quarterly dividend from $0.09 per common share to $0.11 per common share, payable on May 31, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2019. Enghouse has now increased its dividend in each of the past eleven years, by over 10% each year.

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.
