Management Commentary
"Several financial metrics were strong during the quarter," said David Karp, CEO. "While overall revenue grew, our recurring revenue reached a record level of $1.5 million during the quarter, or 56% of total revenue owing to our continuing effort to move our licensing model to recurring revenue. Our billings reached $3 million, which included the renewal of two significant annual contracts by longtime customers in the call center vertical. At the same time, we have been gradually reducing our costs over the last year, without significantly impacting our ability to maintain and grow revenue. As a result, our operating expenses declined by 25% from the same quarter in previous year. Next quarter we expect to see our cash operating costs to be at their lowest level in the last two fiscal years.
Our sales focus will continue to be on growing recurring revenue. In that regard, after the quarter, we introduced Bria Solo, a subscription offering to replace our Bria 5 softphone solution. Bria Solo is also available with fewer features as a free version that replaces our flagship X-Lite softphone. Bria Solo is intended for single softphone users and is a pathway to Bria Teams and Bria Enterprise. Unlike X-Lite, Bria Solo introduces a feature-rich Bria trial experience that is expected to enable CounterPath to improve conversions from free-to-paid, better monetizing our extensive X-Lite user base. Together, Bria Solo and Bria Teams offer compelling unified communication solutions to the underserved small and medium sized enterprise market."

This news release contains "forward-looking statements". Statements in this news release which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, outlook, expectations or intentions regarding the future, including the statements (1) at the same time, we have been gradually reducing our costs over the last year, without significantly impacting our ability to maintain and grow revenue; (2) next quarter the Company expects to see its cash operating costs to be at their lowest level in the last two fiscal years; and (3) unlike X-Lite, Bria Solo introduces a feature-rich Bria trial experience that is expected to enable CounterPath to improve conversions from free-to-paid, better monetizing our extensive X-Lite user base. It is important to note that actual outcomes and the Company's actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.
