I am pleased with our results as the investments we made in our products, sales, marketing and infrastructure, have resulted in 43% increase in revenues, 47% increase in order backlog and 17 new customer wins during the year. In addition, I am particularly encouraged by the 9.1% increase in revenue we achieved on a sequential quarter basis.”
“As we enter the new fiscal year, we are focused on our customer’s implementation success, revenue growth and profitability to achieve our 2018 goal of delivering revenue of $ 200 to $ 225 million and EBIDTA of over 12%-.”
“We continue to gain momentum across mid-market, start-up and tier 1 carriers with our core, digital, data, distribution and cloud businesses and I am excited to share more about our plans for the future at our May 11, 2016 investor day.”
Financial Highlights
For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016
| · | Revenue for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased 48.8% to $32.3 million as compared to $21.7 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. The growth was primarily driven by favourable momentum in Majesco’s P&C and L&A business, new customer wins, expanding customer relationships during the year, and the addition of Cover-All. On a sequential basis, fourth quarter revenue increased 9.1% compared to $29.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. |
| · | Gross profit was $14.4 million (44.7% of revenue) for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $7.1 million (32.5% of revenue) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The 12.2 percentage point increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in revenues, a favorable mix of higher margin business and a 6.5% margin impact in the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the termination by a customer of a project in the India Asia Pacific geography for which a reserve had been taken in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. |
| · | Research and development expenses were $4.6 million (14.3% of revenue) during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $2.5 million (11.4% of revenue) during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, largely on account of planned product investments in both the P&C and L&A segments. |
| · | SG&A expenses were $10.5 million (32.6% of revenue) during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $5.4 million (25.0% of revenue) during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increased SG&A expense for the fiscal 2016 fourth quarter was primarily due to the expansion of Majesco’s global sales and marketing infrastructure and the impact of the merger with Cover-All. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $0.4 million (1.3% of revenue) as compared to $1.3 million (5.8% of revenue) during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. |
| · | Net loss for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $1.5 million, or ($0.04) per share as compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, or ($0.03) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as used in this press release to GAAP are included in the financial section of this press release.

| · | Research and development expenses were $16.3 million (14.4% of revenue) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $10.3 million (13.0% of revenue) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. |
| · | SG&A expenses were $38.2 million (33.7% of revenue) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $21.0 million (26.5% of revenue) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 was $0.6 million (0.5% of revenue) as compared to $3.0 million (3.8% of revenue) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. |
| · | Net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 was $3.6 million or ($0.10) per share as compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or ($0.02) per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. |

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 one-time non-recurring one-time costs related to the merger with Cover-All Technologies and the listing of the Majesco common stock on the NYSE-MKT in connection with the merger and an one-time provision for reversal of accrued revenue in respect of a project in the India Asia Pacific geography which could potentially be terminated by a client.
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.
