Sangoma Reports Third Quarter 2010-2011 Results

MARKHAM, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 18, 2011) - Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC), a leading provider of hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications Systems for both voice and data, today announced highlights of its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 ended March 31, 2011 were $3.12 million. This compares with sales of $2.98 million during the Corporation's immediately preceding second quarter of fiscal 2011, a 5% increase with growth in both North America and the rest of the world. Sales of $3.12 million were not materially different from the $3.13 million in the same quarter last year, ended March 31, 2010.

Sangoma is continuing to increase its investment in new marketing and sales initiatives, and the Corporation is pleased to have a second consecutive quarter of revenue growth despite a further weakening of the US dollar in which most of the Corporation's sales are denominated. While the third quarter improvement is very positive, it will be a few more quarters before a longer term trend can be identified.

Gross margins for the quarter were 73%, 4% below the Corporation's immediately preceding second quarter of fiscal 2011, and 2% lower than those of the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This is a return to the more typical mix of orders between hardware and software after an unusually attractive mix in the second quarter. Expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $1.81 million, 2% lower than those of fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2010, and 11% higher than those of the comparable quarter last year. The change year over year is mainly due to the increase in development cost amortization following the ramp in spending late in fiscal 2010 and to increased Sales and Marketing investment for the expected benefit of higher sales in future quarters. Net income was $0.35 million ($0.011 per share fully diluted) compared to net income of $0.34 million last quarter and $0.42 million ($0.014 per share fully diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $0.97 million, up slightly from the $0.95 million last quarter, and 5% below the same quarter one year ago.

On March 31, 2011 Sangoma had working capital of $11.23 million, as compared to $10.00 million on March 31, 2010. Working capital on March 31, 2011 included $7.66 million in cash and equivalents.

President and CEO, Bill Wignall, and CFO, David Moore will host a conference call on Friday May 20, 2011 at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time to discuss the quarter's results. The dial-in number for the call is 1-800-319-4610 (International 1-604-638-5340). Investors are requested to dial in 5 to 10 minutes before the scheduled start time and ask to join the Sangoma call.
