- Total number of cloud customers is now 54.
- Total recurring revenue was at $45.8 million (32.8% of total revenue) for the year ended March 31, 2019, up 38.8% as compared to $33.0 million (26.8% of total revenue) for the year ended March 31, 2018.
- Majesco's 12-month order backlog as of March 31, 2019 was $96.9 million, up 13.5% from $85.4 million on December 31, 2018.
- We added 19 new clients organically for the year ended March 31, 2019.
Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results
- Revenue was $36.9 million, compared to $32.9 million for the same period last fiscal year. The 11.9% increase in revenue was driven by footprint expansion in existing accounts, new logos, and the acquisition of Exaxe.
- Gross profit was $17.9 million (48.5% of revenue), compared to $15.4 million (46.9% of revenue) for same period last fiscal year. The 160-basis point increase in gross profit margin was driven by a higher margin mix of revenue.
- Research and development (R&D) expenses were $5.0 million (13.5% of revenue), compared to $4.6 million (13.9% of revenue) for the same period last fiscal year. Investments in R&D were focused on Majesco's product roadmap to support next generation insurance solutions and digital offerings.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $10.5 million (28.5% of revenue), compared to $10.0 million (30.4% of revenue) for the same period last fiscal year. The reduction in SG&A as a percent of revenue reflects improved operating leverage.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million (12.0% of revenue), compared to $2.9 million (8.8% of revenue) for the same period last fiscal year.
- Net income was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share as compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period last fiscal year. Net income was significantly higher due to increases in revenue and profitability.
Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Highlights
- Revenue for fiscal 2019 was $139.9 million, compared to $123.0 million last fiscal year. The 13.7% increase in revenue was driven by expansion within existing accounts, new logos, and the acquisition of Exaxe.
- Gross profit was $68.5 million (49.0% of revenue) for fiscal 2019, compared to $55.9 million (45.4% of revenue) last fiscal year. The 360 basis point increase in gross profit margin was driven by a higher margin mix of revenue.
- R&D expenses were $19.3 million (13.8% of revenue) for fiscal 2019, compared to $17.3 million (14.0% of revenue) last fiscal year.
- SG&A expenses were $39.1 million (28.0% of revenue) for fiscal 2019, compared to $41.0 million (33.4% of revenue) last fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A was driven by improved control of G&A expenses and higher operating efficiencies.
- Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2019 was $17.2 million (12.3% of revenue), compared to $5.7 million (4.6% of revenue) last fiscal year.
-
Net income for fiscal 2019 was $6.9 million or $0.18 per diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million or $(0.14) per share
last fiscal 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 stock-based compensation, a
one-time reversal of accrual for contingent liability and one-time
transaction costs related to the Exaxe acquisition.
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 as supplemental.
