Additionally we continued to improve our adjusted EBITDA for the fourth consecutive quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 455 basis points from 1.27% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to 5.82% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2016. We improved profitability by strengthening our portfolio with higher margin cloud business and improving operational efficiency.

Financial Highlights
For the third quarter ended December 31, 2016
| · | Revenue for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased to $30.0 million as compared to $29.6 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. The moderate 1.3% increase during the quarter was due to a slowdown in the L&A business and the impact to the exchange rate on GBP for the UK business. |
| · | Gross profit was $14.7 million (49.0% of revenue) for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $12.6 million (42.4% of revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The increase in gross profit was due to new projects being delivered at higher margins and improved operating efficiencies. |
| · | Research and development (R&D) expenses were $4.0 million (13.2% of revenue) during the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $4.2 million (14.3% of revenue) during the quarter ended December 31, 2015. |
| · | SG&A expenses were $10.6 million (35.2% of revenue) during the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $10.6 million (35.8% of revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $1.8 million (5.8% of revenue) as compared to a negative $1.1 million (3.7% of revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. |
| · | Net income for the third quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share as compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.03) per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. |
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.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2016
| · | Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 increased 15.6% to $93.6 million as compared to $81.0 million in the corresponding period of last year. The growth was driven by additional revenues from new customers and the addition of the Cover-All business added during this period and expanding relationships with P&C customers. |
| · | Gross profit was $44.9 million (48.0% of revenue) for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $36.0 million (44.5% of revenue) for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the combination of a higher revenue base, higher proportion of cloud business and improved operating efficiencies. |
| · | Research and development (R&D) expenses were $13.0 million (13.9% of revenue) during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $11.6 million (14.4% of revenue) during the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increased expense was in line with the company’s R&D roadmap for both P&C and L&A business. |
| · | SG&A expenses were $31.9 million (34.0% of revenue) during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $27.7 million (34.2% of revenue) for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increased SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was mainly due to investments in our sales & marketing efforts and the addition of the Cover-All business. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $4.5 million (4.8% of revenue) as compared to $0.2 million (0.2% of revenue) for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. |
| · | Net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $0.1 million, or ($0.00) per share, as compared to net loss of $2.0 million, or $(0.06) per share, for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. |
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.

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 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 stock-based compensation.
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.
