Cloud revenues up 66% from first quarter FY18 and represent 36% of total revenues

Morristown, NJ – July 26, 2018 – Majesco (NYSE: MJCO), a global provider of core insurance platform software and consulting services for insurance business transformation, today announced its financial results for the fiscal 2019 first quarter ended June 30, 2018.
“First quarter financial results were strong across the board as we achieved record quarterly revenues and significant growth in profitability,” stated Ketan Mehta, Majesco’s CEO and Co-Founder. “The first quarter reflects the fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth as a result of the successful strategic shift in our business model towards the cloud. Cloud revenues represented 36.3% of first quarter revenues, compared to 26.3% for the same period last year, while cloud subscription revenues have grown 28.8% and represent 9.8% of total revenue, compared to 9.1% of total revenue in the same quarter last year. Profitability strengthened as a result of overall revenue growth, driven by higher-margin cloud-based solutions. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percent of revenues was 10.3% during the fiscal 2019 first quarter, a 1,177 basis points improvement from the same quarter last year and 150 basis points higher than the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter.
“We believe that delivering Speed to Value remains our key differentiator for both greenfield and incumbent insurers. We had multiple examples of rapid implementation by our clients including less than 90 day Go Live for a Tier 1 Greenfield business for our billing solution. During the quarter we added one new client and three clients deepened their relationships with the company. We announced the official launch and market availability of Majesco Digital1st Insurance, an innovative next-generation digital and microservices platform. This is a cloud based multi-tenant solution delivering digital capabilities to the carriers in rapid implantation mode compared to traditional solutions. Overall, I am pleased with the start to fiscal 2019 and the positive momentum underway at Majesco.” concluded Mr. Mehta.

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.
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.
