MARKHAM, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 8, 2017) - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH) today announced its second quarter (unaudited) financial results for the period ended April 30, 2017.
Second quarter revenue was $79.5 million, an increase of 1.3% over revenue of $78.5 million in the second quarter last year. On a year to date basis, revenue was $158.4 million compared to $152.9 million last year, an increase of 3.6%. The revenue increase primarily reflects incremental revenue contributions from acquisitions but is mitigated by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange compared to last year which negatively impacted revenue by an estimated $3.3 million in the quarter and $8.0 million year to date. Hosted and maintenance services revenue was $39.9 million in the quarter, an increase of 4.2% over the same period last year and includes the estimated negative impact of foreign exchange of $1.65 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $20.5 million ($0.75 per diluted share) compared to $19.3 million ($0.71 per diluted share) in last year's second quarter and includes the net negative impact of $2.1 million related to foreign exchange losses compared to last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the year to date was $43.6 million ($1.60 per diluted share) compared to $38.4 million ($1.41 per diluted share) last year, an increase of 13.6%. This includes the net negative impact of $4.4 million related to foreign exchange losses on a year to date basis compared to last year, which would have resulted in a 26.7% increase compared to the prior year excluding foreign exchange losses.
Net income for the quarter was $9.0 million ($0.33 per diluted share) compared to the prior year's second quarter net income of $8.5 million ($0.31 per diluted share). Results from operating activities for the quarter were $19.5 million compared to $18.1 million in the prior year's second quarter, an increase of 7.5% over the prior year.
Operating expenses before special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations were $35.0 million compared to $35.2 million in the prior year's second quarter and include incremental operating costs related to acquired operations, net of the favourable impact of foreign exchange. Non-cash amortization charges in the quarter were $7.5 million compared to $7.0 million in the prior year's second quarter and include amortization charges for acquired software and customer relationships from acquired operations. On a year to date basis operating expenses before special charges were $65.9 million compared to $67.6 million and include incremental operating costs related to acquired operations, net of the favourable impact of foreign exchange compared to last year.
Enghouse generated cash flows from operations of $18.4 million in the quarter and closed the quarter with $87.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $85.9 million at October 31, 2016. The cash balance was achieved after year-to-date payments comprised of $16.2 million (net of cash acquired and holdbacks) for Tollgrade Communications Inc. (acquired April 12, 2017), $1.7 million to partially settle loans inherited from the Presence Technology, S.L. acquisition (completed October 28, 2016), $0.4 million for prior period acquisitions, and $7.5 million in dividends paid.
The Board of Directors has approved an eligible quarterly dividend of $0.16 per common share, payable on August 31, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2017.
Enghouse remains committed to its acquisition strategy and continues to seek accretive acquisitions.

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, 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, other income and restructuring costs primarily related to acquisitions.
