CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec. 14, 2015) -

THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Sylogist Ltd. ("Sylogist" or the "Company") - (TSX VENTURE:SYZ), a provider of enterprise information management solutions to public and private sector customers, is pleased to provide an operational update, following the completion of its latest fiscal year (September 30, 2015).

The Company's audited annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of same are expected to be released by early January, 2016.

In addition, and based on its performance to date and outlook into 2016 and beyond, Sylogist is pleased to announce that its Board has declared a special dividend of 10.0 cents per share on Sylogist's Common Shares to shareholders of record on December 23, 2015, which is payable on December 30, 2015. This special dividend will be treated as an eligible dividend pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada).

"Performance in our fiscal 2015 and the first quarter of fiscal 2016 (December 31, 2015) is very promising and reflective of the strength of our business model. On a financial basis, our acquisitions over the past few years are showing two to three year cash pay-backs. These acquired businesses, now integrated into our management and operations, are also demonstrating strategic value creation as evidenced by organic growth. This organic growth is a result of market focus and integration of our intellectual property across business units. More than 60 new agreements have been signed in our public sector business over the past 6 months, while our NGO base is expanding with larger customers, including the recent signing of a $2 Million 5 site pilot project leading to a potential, additional 20 to 30 site roll-out with associated long term recurring revenues. Functional enhancements to our human capital management/payroll products have been positively received, producing our fastest area of revenue growth through new customer additions.

Since commencing our normal course issuer bid in May, 2015, we have bought over one million shares for cancellation at an average price under $6.80/share. As our financial performance in terms of revenue growth, EBITDA margins and cash flow are industry leading, we intend to continue these shares purchases as long as our relative company value remains a fraction of our peers.

Sylogist is in a strong position, with industry leading metrics, including high growth, recurring revenue and operating margins, a solid balance sheet and substantial cash assets to build out its platform, both organically and through acquisitions. Operations have been fully integrated and are benefitting significantly from our stable of solid technology products capable of being deployed across our multiple verticals, and into new markets. It is timely to reward our shareholders, with a special dividend, for their commitment and continued faith in the vision of what Sylogist is capable of becoming," stated Jim Wilson, President & CEO of Sylogist.
