Acquisition of InsPro Technologies a U.S. based life and annuity software provider

Majesco MJCO, a global provider of cloud insurance software solutions for insurance business transformation, today announced solid financial results for the fiscal 2020 third quarter that ended December 31, 2019.

"Our third quarter financial results reinforce the continuing momentum of our cloud subscription product focus", said Adam Elster, Majesco's CEO. "Our product business now represents more than 40% of our total revenue. The number of cloud customers continues to grow with accelerating project go-lives, as our customers are benefitting from dramatically reduced project implementation timelines. These trends clearly demonstrate Majesco's ability to rapidly deliver time-to-value to our customers while providing a modern platform for insurers to innovate new products and business models. This is the foundation for our long-term growth as we acquire, adopt and expand customers."

"We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of InsPro Technologies, further demonstrating our product focus in the Life and Annuity market. InsPro has strong relationships with top tier customers, an experienced team, and a strong technology footprint. In addition, this acquisition expands our partnership with Capgemini as their existing TPA business is based on this platform," concluded Mr. Elster.

Industry veteran, John Heidelberger, InsPro Technologies' Customer Delivery Leader said, "We are delighted to join the Majesco family. We looked long and hard for a partner that shared our view of the digital future for group and individual insurance lines. As a former insurance industry CIO and long-term practitioner, I'm confident our policy processing experience coupled with Majesco's significant investments in digital solutions will allow us to offer our combined customer base a wider selection of solutions while providing even greater opportunities for our committed team."

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 reversal of accrual for contingent liability and mergers and acquisitions expenses.

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.
