MARKHAM, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 5, 2013) - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ESL) today announced its unaudited second quarter financial results for the period ended April 30, 2013.
Second quarter revenue was $44.5 million, an increase of 41% over revenue of $31.5 million in the second quarter last year, with incremental revenue coming from acquisitions. Revenue includes hosted and maintenance services contributions of $23.4 million in the quarter, an increase of 46% over last year's revenue of $16.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $10.7 million or $0.40 per diluted share compared to $7.8 million or $0.30 per diluted share in last year's second quarter. Results from operating activities for the quarter were $9.7 million compared to $7.6 million in the prior year's second quarter and include special charges booked on acquisitions of $0.6 million in the quarter. Excluding special charges related to restructuring of acquisitions, results from operating activities would be $10.3 million, an increase of 36% over the prior year. Net income for the second quarter was $4.9 million or $0.19 per diluted share compared to the prior year's second quarter net income of $4.2 million or $0.16 per share. On a year to date basis, revenue was $86.5 million compared to $62.0 million, an increase of 39%. Adjusted EBITDA for the year to date was $20.3 million or $0.77 per diluted share compared to $15.7 million or $0.60 per share.
Operating expenses increased to $22.3 million from $15.7 million in the prior year's second quarter and include incremental operating costs related to acquisitions as well as special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations. Non-cash amortization charges in the quarter were $3.9 million compared to $2.4 million in the prior year's second quarter and include amortization charges for acquired software and customer relationships including operations acquired in the current year.
On March 1, 2013 the Company completed the acquisition of Locus Holdings AS ("Locus") of Norway for a cash purchase price of approximately $12.7 million, subject to certain price adjustments. Locus is a leading supplier of fleet management solutions for the Public Safety and Transport & Logistics (including Security) sectors in the Scandinavian market and has a dominant position in the Norwegian Public Safety sector. Its products are installed in police cars, ambulances, rescue helicopters and fire brigades. Locus's transportation, logistics and M2M products are also well established in these markets.
Enghouse closed the quarter with $80.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $80.1 million at January 31, 2013 and $83.7 million at October 31, 2012. This reflects cash paid in the quarter of approximately $10.2 million on the acquisition of Locus. It also reflects a cash dividend of $1.7 million paid in March 2013. The Company continues to have no long-term debt.
The Board of Directors has approved an eligible quarterly dividend to $0.08 per common share, payable on August 31, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2013.
Enghouse continues to seek further acquisitions to grow its market share.
A conference call to discuss the results will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at 8:45 a.m. EST. To participate, please call 416-849-8296 (PIN 15953109#) in Toronto or North American Toll-Free 1-866-551-3680 (PIN 15953109#).

Non-IFRS Measures
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 results from operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. Therefore, results from operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Results from operating activities are calculated as net income before amortization of acquired software and customer relationships, finance income, finance expenses, other income, and the provision for income taxes. Results from Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as net income before depreciation of property, plant and equipment, amortization of acquired software and customer relationships, finance income, finance expenses, other income, the provision of income tax and special charges for acquisition related restructuring and transaction costs. Management uses results from operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance as they exclude 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, other income and restructuring costs primarily related to acquisitions.
The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income:
