Sangoma Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

MARKHAM, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX: STC; Nasdaq: SANG) (“Sangoma” or the “Company”), a trusted leader in delivering cloud-based Communications as a Service solutions for companies of all sizes, today announced its second quarter financial results and unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2024. "During the second quarter we continued to generate strong operating cash flow while reducing debt levels, effectively reaching our fiscal year-end debt target of $55–60 million two quarters ahead of plan," said Charles Salameh, Chief Executive Officer. "Our improved capital structure allows us to take decisive action to accelerate strategic alternatives which will further solidify our position as a highly profitable recurring revenue driven business, and enable faster innovation through both internal development and acquisitions." Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025 Highlights: Total Revenue of $59.1 million declined $1.0 million 1.7% from the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in low margin third-party product resales, while in total, core platform products and services revenue increased sequentially. Gross profit of $40.5 million, or 68.5% of total revenue. Operating expenses1 were $41.3 million, down approximately 7.3% over the same quarter of prior year. Adjusted EBITDA2 of $10.1 million, representing 17.1% of total revenue, a 0.7% improvement over last quarter. Strategic enterprise resource planning ("ERP") spend of $0.6 million in the quarter, bringing Adjusted EBITDA2 for the second quarter to $10.7 million without this investment. Improved churn to below 1.0% Net loss narrowed significantly to $1.9 million compared to $3.2 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities of $11.9 million representing an increase of 29.7% over the same quarter a year ago. Net cash provided by operating activities as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA2 for the second quarter reached 118.1%, representing a significant increase when compared to 87.9% in the same quarter of the prior year and the fourth straight quarter that it exceeded 100%. Effectively reached our debt reduction target of $55 million to $60 million two quarters ahead of schedule, with total debt standing at approximately $60 million at quarter's end. Cash at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $17.1 million, reflecting a strong quarterly progression of operating cash flow, primarily due to increased efficiency initiatives and effective net working capital management. Revised guidance for Fiscal 20253 Sangoma is taking decisive action to advance its core platform strategy by accelerating strategic alternatives with respect to certain low margin non-core product lines including its third-party hardware resale operations. This strategic realignment, while reducing projected revenue in fiscal 2025, should drive substantial improvements in both gross profit margin and Adjusted EBITDA2 margin. As a result of the de-emphasis of certain non-core product lines, Sangoma is lowering its revenue guidance from the range of $250 million to $260 million to $235 million to $240 million, while continuing to maintain an Adjusted EBITDA2 target of at least 17% of revenue. As a result of the updated revenue expectations, the Company now anticipates Adjusted EBITDA2 in the range of $40 million to $42 million, compared to the prior guidance of $42 million to $46 million.

Non-IFRS financial measures are used by management to evaluate the performance of the Company and do not have any meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. Non-IFRS financial measures used herein have been applied on a consistent basis. “Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before income taxes, interest expense (net), share-based compensation, depreciation (including for right-of-use assets), amortization, restructuring and business integration costs, goodwill impairment and change in fair value of consideration payable. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by many investors to compare issuers. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities before taking into consideration how they are financed, taxed, depreciated or amortized. Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow determined in accordance with IFRS. The IFRS measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA presented in our financial statements is net loss. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the periods indicated: Unaudited in US $000 Three month periods ended December 31, Six month periods ended December 31, 2024 2023 Change Change 2024 2023 Change Change $ $ $ % $ $ $ % Net loss (1,881 ) (3,239 ) 1,358 (41.9 )% (3,791 ) (5,683 ) 1,892 (33.3 )% Tax expense (recovery) (274 ) (644 ) 370 (57.5 )% (617 ) (991 ) 374 (37.7 )% Interest expense (net) 1,105 1,795 (690 ) (38.4 )% 2,483 3,457 (974 ) (28.2 )% Share-based compensation 1,038 856 182 21.3 % 1,766 1,518 248 16.3 % Depreciation of property and equipment 1,006 1,050 (44 ) (4.2 )% 2,091 2,123 (32 ) (1.5 )% Depreciation of right-of-use assets 653 731 (78 ) (10.7 )% 1,331 1,490 (159 ) (10.7 )% Amortization of intangibles 8,199 8,362 (163 ) (1.9 )% 16,397 16,723 (326 ) (1.9 )% Restructuring and business integration costs 242 1,335 (1,093 ) (81.9 )% 242 1,491 (1,249 ) (83.8 )% Loss on change in fair value of consideration payable — 202 (202 ) (100.0 )% — 202 (202 ) (100.0 )% Adjusted EBITDA 10,088 10,448 (360 ) (3.4 )% 19,902 20,330 (428 ) (2.1 )% Percentage of revenue 17.1 % 16.8 % 0.3 % 1.7 % 16.7 % 16.2 % 1.0 % 6.2 %
