“Our third quarter brought significant changes
to Sangoma. While change can be very difficult at times, I am proud
of our team for remaining focused on delivering excellent results
for our customers and shareholders," said Norm Worthington, Interim
Executive Chairman. “It is an exciting time for Sangoma to continue
to see our team's hard work drive our transition to a more SaaS
focused business. In the third quarter our Services revenue
increased by 2.25% sequentially from the prior quarter, again
equivalent to an annualized organic growth rate of 10%. Services
also represented 81% of our total sales this quarter, up from 80%
last quarter and 69% in the same quarter of last year. And while
our Services business continues to grow and compound, our Product
revenue slightly declined this quarter as it remains impacted by
macro conditions resulting in continued sensitivity to capex
purchases. While our increase in revenue quarter over quarter was
modest we delivered an Adjusted EBITDA2 for the quarter of over
$12.24 million, representing about 20% of revenue and a 16%
increase from last quarter."
Revenue for the fiscal third quarter was $62.76
million, up from $53.37 million in the third quarter last year by
18%, and up by approximately 1% from the immediately preceding
second quarter of fiscal 2023. Services revenue increased
sequentially by over $1 million or by 2.25% from the previous
quarter, representing 81% of total sales. The growth in Services
revenue is the second consecutive quarter supporting an annualized
10% organic growth rate, as was discussed in our second quarter
results.
Gross profit for the quarter was $44.42 million,
up from $37.20 million in the same period last year. Gross margin
at 71% of revenue for the quarter was slightly above the 69% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2023, due at least in part to increased
sales of higher margin offerings such as cloud services. While
gross margin will naturally fluctuate slightly from quarter to
quarter, fiscal third quarter gross margin landed on the higher end
of that expected range.
Operating Expenses1 were $43.37 million for the
quarter compared to $40.14 million in the third quarter of fiscal
year 2022. The year over year increase reflects the added costs
associated with the NetFortris acquisition, a decrease of just
under $1 million from the immediately prior quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was $12.24 million in the third
fiscal quarter of 2023, up from the $10.47 million for the same
period of the prior year, and was approximately 20% of sales. The
increase in Adjusted EBITDA2 in the third quarter also represents a
3% increase as a percentage of revenue when compared to our second
quarter results.
Net loss for the third quarter was $0.69 million
as compared to $6.76 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2022.
Sangoma continues to generate positive Adjusted
Cash Flow2 and maintain a healthy balance sheet, finishing the
quarter with a cash balance of $8.01 million on March 31, 2023 and
remains comfortably within its debt covenants.
As previously disclosed in its press release of
March 29, 2023, Sangoma filed a resale registration statement on
Form F-3 (the "Resale Registration Statement") with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the registration of
12,271,637 of its common shares previously issued or to be issued
pursuant to the terms of that certain stock purchase agreement
previously entered into by Sangoma in connection with the
acquisition of StarBlue Inc. on March 31, 2021 (the "StarBlue
Acquisition"). The Resale Registration Statement was declared
effective by the SEC on April 12, 2023, and the remaining 9,142,856
common shares that were to be issued on a quarterly basis over the
next three years pursuant to the StarBlue Acquisition were all
issued on May 9, 2023.
Outlook for fiscal year
2023Given the results for the first three quarters
of fiscal 2023 and in light of the items below including global
economics, the Company is narrowing its revenue guidance from $250-
$260 million to $250 - $254 million and its Adjusted EBITDA2
guidance from $46 - $49 million to $46 - $48 million.
The above outlook and guidance constitute
forward-looking information and are based on the Company’s
assessment of many material assumptions, including:
- The Company’s ability to manage
current supply chain constraints, including our ability to secure
electronic components and parts, manufacturers being able to
deliver ongoing quantities of finished products on schedule, no
further material increases in cost for electronic components, and
no significant delay or material increases in cost for
shipping
- The revenue trends the Company
experienced in fiscal year 2022 and fiscal 2023 to-date, the trends
we expect going forward in fiscal 2023, and the impact of growing
economic headwinds globally
- The continuing recovery of the
global economy from the impact of COVID-19, including decreased
government restrictions and increased customer demand, all of which
would not be materially negatively affected by more recent macro
factors such as inflation, interest rates, or recessions
- There being continuing growth in
the global UCaaS and cloud communications markets more
generally
- There being continuing demand and
subscriber growth for our Services and continuing demand as
anticipated for our Products
- The impact of changes in global
exchange rates on the demand for the Company’s Products and
Services
- The ability of the Company’s
customers to continue their business operations without any
material impact on their requirements for the Company’s Products
and Services
- The Company’s forecasted revenue
from its internal sales teams and via channel partners will meet
expectations, which is based on certain management assumptions,
including continuing demand for the Company’s products and
services, no material delays in receipt of products from its
contract manufacturers, no further material increase to the
Company’s manufacturing, labour or shipping costs
- There are no additional revenue
reclassifications
- The Company is able to remediate
the material weaknesses identified in its internal control over
financial reporting
- That the Company is able to attract
and retain the employees needed to maintain the current
momentum
