Majesco Announces Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter Financial Results
Nine-Month Revenue Up 40.7%
Order Backlog up 16.4% Sequentially
Morristown, NJ – January 25, 2016 - Majesco, a global provider of software, consulting and services for insurance business transformation, today announced its financial results for the fiscal 2016 third quarter ended December 31, 2015.
“The fiscal 2016 third quarter demonstrates our continued success executing our growth oriented business plan, as we announced new wins, successful implementations, expanding customer relationships, enhancements to our partner ecosystem, new talent additions, additional product launches, and new product releases,” commented Ketan Mehta, CEO and Co-Founder. “Third quarter revenue increased 37% versus the same period last year, while we successfully grew backlog by 16% over the fiscal 2016 second quarter, demonstrating Majesco’s growing momentum in the marketplace. I am specifically excited about our momentum with tier 1 carriers and cloud, digital and data businesses.
“In line with our strategic plan, we continued to make aggressive investments in R&D and SG&A during the nine-month period, which increased 68% compared to the same period last year. These investments are creating a foundation for accelerating our growth plans in the next two years.”
Financial Highlights
For the third quarter ended December 31, 2015
| · | Revenue for the third quarter ended December 31, 2015 increased 37.1% to $29.6 million as compared to $21.6 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. On a sequential basis, third quarter revenue increased 5.0% compared to $28.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The growth was primarily driven by favourable momentum in Majesco’s P&C business and new customer wins during the year. |
| · | Gross profit was $12.6 million or 42.4% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $9.6 million or 44.3% of revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The 190 basis point reduction in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in salaries and wages effective October 1, 2015 for certain employees and a one-time additional cost provision on account of statutory bonuses in India. |
| · | Research and development expenses were $4.2 million (14.3% of revenue) during the third quarter ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $2.4 million (10.9% of revenue) during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, largely on account of planned product investments in both the P&C and L&A segments. |
| · | SG&A expenses were $10.6 million (35.8% of revenue) during the third quarter ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $5.1 million (23.6% of revenue) during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The increased SG&A expense for the fiscal 2016 third quarter was primarily due to the higher cost of the Annual Customer Conference held in October 2015 and the on-boarding cost of outsourced staff of Cover-All in India. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter ended December 31, 2015 was a negative of $1.1 million (-3.7% of revenue) as compared to $2.8 million (13.0% of revenue) during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. |
| · | Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $1.1 million, or ($0.03) per share as compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as used in this press release to GAAP are included in the financial section of this press release.

| · | Gross profit was $36.0 million or 44.5% of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $23.4 million or 40.7% of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The 380 basis point improvement in gross margin was primarily due to good revenue momentum in Majesco’s P&C and L&A businesses. |
| · | Research and development expenses were $11.6 million (14.4% of revenue) for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $7.9 million (13.7% of revenue) for the corresponding period last year. |
| · | SG&A expenses were $27.7 million (34.2% of revenue) for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $15.6 million (27.1% of revenue) for the corresponding period last year. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2015 was $0.2 million (0.2% of revenue) as compared to $1.7 million (3.0% of revenue) during the corresponding nine-month period ended December 31, 2014. |
| · | Net loss for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2015 was $2.0 million, or ($0.06) per share as compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share for the corresponding nine-month period ended December 31, 2014. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before one-time non-recurring one-time costs related to the merger with Cover-All Technologies and the listing of the Majesco common stock on the NYSE-MKT in connection with the merger and an one-time provision for reversal of accrued revenue in respect of a project in the India Asia Pacific geography which could potentially be terminated by a client.
The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and are not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing Majesco’s operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than Majesco, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. We compensate for these limitations by relying on U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
