FY Q3 2012 Financial Results
Revenue for the fiscal third quarter 2012 was $14.8 million, increasing 5% both sequentially and over the same year-ago quarter. The improvement was primarily due to increases in revenue from software upgrades and support.
Recurring revenue for the trailing 12 months increased to 49% of revenue from 41% in the same year-ago period. The improvement was due to increased sales and renewals of customer support services, software subscriptions and term licenses.
Gross margin for the fiscal third quarter 2012 increased to 71% from 61% in the same year-ago quarter. EBITDA (i.e., earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation) was $2.5 million or 17% of revenue in the fiscal third quarter, compared to a loss of $1.4 million in the year-ago quarter (see discussion about the presentation of EBITDA, a non-IFRS metric, below).
Net income for the fiscal third quarter 2012 totaled $1.7 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, improving from a net loss of $1.9 million or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share in the year-ago quarter. The comparative increase was primarily attributed to disciplined cost management and ongoing improvements in the company?s cost structure.
At June 30, 2012, cash and investments totaled $20.3 million compared to $15.7 million as at September 30, 2011. Net cash was $14.6 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $7.6 million at September 30, 2011.

Management Commentary
?Our fiscal third quarter results demonstrated our ability to grow with our customer base, continue to manage costs and improve operational efficiencies,? said Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee. ?This is particularly evidenced by our EBITDA increasing 60% to $2.5 million over the previous quarter, and especially compared to the year-ago loss. Our sales momentum continues to be encouraging, driving our order backlog to $55.8 million and giving us a clear pathway to profitable growth.
?Our growth has also been driven by mobile networks working to expand in order to handle the increasing number of users and their data usage. Redknee?s award-winning solutions provide a strong value proposition, allowing network operators around the world to differentiate their offerings and manage the complex, dynamic network environments. This has allowed us to secure new multi-million dollar orders in the Americas and Asia Pacific.
?Redknee is well positioned to capitalize on future opportunities as we look to further expand in North America with Tier 1 network operators. We are focused on growing recurring revenue by securing multi-year contracts, with high margins that ultimately result in sustained profitability over the long term.?
