Enghouse Releases Second Quarter Results Highlighting Significant Internal Revenue Growth

Canada NewsWire

MARKHAM, ON, June 4, 2020 /CNW/ - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH) today announced its second quarter (unaudited) financial results for the period ended April 30, 2020.  All of the financial information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Key financial and operational highlights for the three months ended April 30, 2020 (compared to the three months ended April 30, 2019) are as follows:

  • Revenue grew 58.0% to $140.9 million;

  • Results from operating activities increased 73.8% to $46.3 million;

  • Net income increased 63.8% to $27.1 million or $0.49 per diluted share;

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 81.3% to $49.3 million;

  • Cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in working capital increased 72.5% to $50.0 million;

  • Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $168.1 million, an increase from $150.3 million at October 31, 2019 despite making payments of $12.1 million for dividends and $48.2 million for acquisitions;

  • The Company has no long-term debt other than a nominal amount that is non-interest bearing;

In the quarter, the Company experienced growth from both internal sources and from the acquisitions of Vidyo and Espial (both acquired in Q3/2019) and Dialogic (acquired in Q1/2020). Internal growth includes the expansion of the acquired businesses, particularly Vidyo and Dialogic, since acquisition.

To date, COVID-19 has had an overall positive financial impact on Enghouse as sales of solutions that support remote work, including working from home, increased to meet heightened demand. Sales of Vidyo, our remote conferencing and telehealth/financial services video platform, and our remote computing solutions were particularly strong this quarter. Although the overall impact to revenues so far has been positive, sales of hardware, professional services and certain business units have been tempered as a result of procurement delays, deferral of on-site installations and customers postponing upgrades and implementations.

While the pandemic continues to have a significant impact on the economy, our team has reacted quickly and successfully transitioned to a remote work environment. We are pleased that our team has remained safe, productive and is continuing to deliver high quality results. Critical to this success has been our previous investment in upgrading our financial systems combined with the internal deployment of Enghouse products such as Vidyo that support remote work.

During the quarter we substantially completed the integration of Dialogic, which was EBITDA positive as expected following acquisition on December 31, 2019. Dialogic was accretive to both earnings and margins  due to a significant perpetual license deal recognized in the quarter, which allowed the customer to respond to increased demand resulting from COVID-19.

Quarterly Dividend:
Today, the Board of Directors approved the Company's eligible quarterly dividend of $0.135 per common share, payable on August 31, 2020 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2020.

About Enghouse

Enghouse is a Canadian publicly traded company (TSX:ENGH) that provides enterprise software solutions focusing on remote work, visual computing and communications for next generation software defined networks. The Company's two-pronged growth strategy focuses on internal growth and acquisitions, which, to date, have been funded through operating cash flows. The Company is well capitalized, has nominal long-term debt and is organized around two business segments: the Interactive Management Group and the Asset Management Group. Further information about Enghouse may be obtained from the Company's website at www.enghouse.com.

Conference Call and Webcast

A conference call to discuss the results will be held on Friday, June 5, 2020 at 8:45 a.m. EST. To participate, please call +1-647-792-1278 or North American Toll-Free +1-888-504-7961. Confirmation code: 7403087. A webcast is also available at: https://www.enghouse.com/investors.php

The Company uses non-IFRS measures to assess its operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS 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 based on results from operating activities adjusted for depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, 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, asset depreciation, foreign exchange gains and losses, other income and restructuring costs primarily related to acquisitions.
