Enghouse Releases Fourth Quarter and Year End Results
MARKHAM, ON, Dec. 13, 2018 /CNW/ - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH) today announced its fourth quarter (unaudited) and year-end financial results for the period ended October 31, 2018.
Revenue increased to $342.8 million for the fiscal year, compared to revenue of $325.4 million in the previous fiscal year, resulting in another record year for the Company. Revenue includes $176.4 million from hosted and maintenance services, an increase of 6.4%.
Operating expenses were $136.2 million for the fiscal year compared to $134.4 million in the prior fiscal year as savings related to operating cost synergies offset incremental costs related to acquired operations. Results from operating activities were $103.2 million compared to $90.6 million last year, a 14% increase.
Net income for the fiscal year was $57.7 million or $2.11 per diluted share compared to $50.8 million or $1.87 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year was $106.0 million or $3.88 per diluted share compared to $94.0 million or $3.45 per diluted share last year, an increase of 12.8%.
Fourth quarter revenue was $85.8 million, an increase of 1.9% over revenue of $84.2 million in the fourth quarter last year. Operating expenses were $33.6 million compared to $34.9 million in the prior year's fourth quarter, and include incremental operating costs related to acquisitions. Non-cash amortization charges related to acquired software and customer relationships in the quarter were $6.4 million compared to $7.0 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. Results from operating activities for the quarter were $27.3 million compared to $24.0 million in the prior year's fourth quarter, an increase of 14.0%.
Net income before tax for the quarter was $22.3 million compared to $19.9 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. Income tax expense was $2.7 million in the current quarter versus an income tax expense of $1.0 million recorded in the comparative quarter last year. As a result, net income for the quarter was $19.6 million or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to the prior year's fourth quarter net income of $18.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $27.9 million or $1.02 per diluted share compared to $25.0 million or $0.92 per diluted share in last year's fourth quarter.
Enghouse generated cash flows from operations of $24.0 million in the quarter compared to $29.1 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. Cash flows generated from operations for the fiscal year were $98.3 million compared to $83.2 million in the prior fiscal year, an increase of 18.0%. Enghouse closed the year with a record $193.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $130.3 million at October 31, 2017. The cash balance was achieved after payment of $16.8 million for acquisitions (net of cash acquired) and $18.4 million for dividends.
Shortly after year-end, Enghouse acquired Telexis Solutions B.V. and Telexis B.V. of the Netherlands and Capana Sweden AB. The acquisitions will expand the suite of solutions and geographic reach of the Company's Asset Management Group in the coming year.
Today, the Board of Directors approved an eligible quarterly dividend of $0.18 per common share, payable on February 28, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 14, 2019.

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.
