MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Cover-All Technologies Inc. (NYSE MKT: COVR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

"I am very pleased with how 2015 has begun, driven by strong growth in services revenue with improved gross margin during the 2015 first quarter and the recent signing of three new customer contracts. The new contracts for license, maintenance and professional services of Cover-All Policy, Bureau products and Business Intelligence products to three insurance carriers are not reflected in our financials of the 2015 first quarter because they each signed in May," said Manish Shah, CEO and President of Cover-All. "We are thrilled to have several customers launch our products into their operations recently. We continue to work with our customers to help them with their implementation needs and have started additional projects, which have resulted in strengthening demand for our professional services."

"Revenue from professional and support services represented 96.5% of total 2015 first quarter revenues compared to 84.5% last year, and the gross margin from professional and support services increased to 41.4% in the 2015 first quarter from 36.5% last year. This helped us maintain our overall gross margin and profitability during the quarter, even without the meaningful license revenues that we had in the 2014 first quarter."

Mr. Shah concluded, "Going forward, momentum in our business is building as a result of our innovative and modern P/C insurance technology solutions, 100% success rate of implementations, improving financial results, and our proposed merger with Majesco. Closing new customer contracts is important and helps us generate license revenues, improve profitability and sustain the next wave of strong support and professional services revenue. These developments give us even more cause for excitement for our proposed merger with Majesco and combining these two growing organizations."

Statements in this press release, other than statements of historical information, are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ materially from expected results. Those risks include, among others, risks associated with increased competition, customer decisions, the successful completion of continuing development of new products, the successful negotiations, execution and implementation of anticipated new software contracts, the successful implementation of our acquisition strategies and our ability to complete or integrate acquisitions, the successful addition of personnel in the marketing and technical areas, our ability to complete development and sell and license our products at prices which result in sufficient revenues to realize profits and other business factors beyond the Company's control.

*ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In evaluating its business, Cover-All considers and uses EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.

The term EBITDA is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider 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 does not reflect the Company's actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than Cover-All, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. Cover-All compensates for these limitations by relying on its U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.
