MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Majesco, a global provider of core insurance software and consulting services for insurance business transformation, today announced its financial results for the fiscal 2017 second quarter ended September 30, 2016.
“Since the launch of Majesco (NYSE MKT:MJCO) as a public entity on the NYSE MKT in July 2015, Majesco has increased total and organic revenues in every quarter and I am pleased with the second quarter’s 10.1% increase in revenue over the same quarter last year. Profitability is benefitting from this larger scale, as the fiscal 2017 second quarter experienced strong growth in gross margins, which increased 570 basis points from the same period last year, and adjusted EBITDA margin, which increased 530 basis points from the same period last year,” commented Ketan Mehta, CEO and Co-Founder.
“I am particularly excited by our new partnership with IBM. IBM has selected Majesco’s core platform to jointly offer a new cognitive, cloud based platform to help insurance carriers worldwide create new services on IBM Cloud. The integration of IBM Cloud and cognitive capabilities with Majesco’s market leading core systems will allow for new innovative products and services for insurers. We also launched a new partnership in Canada with Symcor Inc. This strategic relationship adds Majesco’s software to Symcor’s cloud and outsourcing capabilities to provide an Insurance as a Service solution, enabling Symcor to expand its solution and service offerings to Canadian Property and Casualty, Life and Annuity and Group insurers. Both of these partnerships along with our Majesco CloudInsurer offering further strengthens Majesco’s leadership position in the fast growing cloud market segment. The cloud revenues as a percentage of total IP centric revenues increased from 18.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 to 25.7% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017,” concluded Mr. Mehta.
Financial Highlights
For the second quarter ended September 30, 2016
- Revenue for the second quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased 10.1% to $31.1 million as compared to $28.2 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. The growth was primarily driven by the expanding relationships with our current P&C customer base.

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the combination of a change in revenue mix, the transition of outsourced services to in house resources and an emphasis on operating efficiencies which is beginning to show results.
- Research and development (R&D) expenses were $4.5 million (14.6% of revenue) during the second quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $4.2 million (15.0% of revenue) during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

- Revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2016 increased 23.8% to $63.6 million as compared to $51.4 million in the corresponding period of last year.

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.
