Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Recurring cloud, maintenance and subscription revenue increased 47% year-over-year to $10.1 million during Q2 2020, including 13% organic SaaS growth.
  • Annual Recurring Revenuei reached $40.5 million at the end of Q2 2020 compared to $27.6 million at the end of Q2 2019. This increase reflects the Company's ongoing focus on the transition to a SaaS revenue and business model which should result in ongoing value creation for shareholders.
  • Total revenue was $26.0 million, higher by 43% or $7.8 million over $18.2 million reported for Q2 2019.
  • Adjusted EBITDAi was $3.7 million, or 14% of revenue, in Q2 2020 compared to $1.7 million, or 9% of revenue in Q2 2019.
  • SaaS subscription bookingsi of $2.4 million were added in Q2 2020 compared to $0.1 million in Q2 2019.
  • Professional services revenue was $10.2 million, 47% higher than $6.9 million in Q2 2019.
  • Proprietary products revenue decreased 30% to $1.7 million compared to Q2 2019 primarily due to a decrease in proprietary software license revenue as the business continues to transition to SaaS licensing. Perpetual license bookings declined to $1.4 million from $2.1 million for the same period last year.
  • Higher service margins increased total gross profit to $13.1 million for Q2 2020, up 37% from $9.5 million in Q2 2019.
  • Gross margin was 50% compared to 52% in the prior year, with the slight decline due to lower license revenue from the organic business resulting from the shift to SaaS bookings as well as a higher mix of lower margin hardware due to the PCSYS acquisition.
  • Operating expenses increased by $2.2 million to $10.8 million, a 25% increase compared to $8.7 million reported in Q2 fiscal 2019.
  • Profit from operations was $2.2 million, compared to a profit of $0.8 million in Q2 2019. Recurring revenue generated by increasing cloud, maintenance, and subscription licensing allows the company to derive higher revenue from stable operations. As our SaaS bookings increase, profit from operations should build predictably over time with fewer quarterly swings.
  • Net Profit in Q2 2020 was $1.4 million or $0.11 per share compared to profit of $0.6 million or $0.05 per share for the same period in fiscal 2019.
  • Total backlogi at October 31, 2019 was $87.0 million, up sequentially from $76.4 million at July 31, 2019.
  • Total contract value bookingsi increased by 72% to $27.9 million in Q2 2020, up from $16.2 million in Q2 2019. During Q2 2020, the Company signed 10 new accounts with a total contract value of $15.6 million compared to 6 new accounts with a total contract value of $1.3 million signed in Q2 2019.

"This was an exciting quarter.  The strong results for second quarter fiscal 2020 reflect our successful ongoing transition to SaaS licensing," said Peter Brereton, president and CEO of Tecsys Inc. "We are experiencing strong demand across all lines of business and our recent acquisitions have proven to be effective contributors to growth and earnings. Our healthcare solutions continue to perform well as we added another new hospital network (IDN) during the quarter.

We are particularly pleased with the SaaS bookings during the quarter.  We booked $2.35 million of SaaS annual recurring revenue during the second quarter of which $1.5 million was organic.  Under the old model, the organic component would have added approximately $3.0 million to revenue and $2.7 million to earnings, whereas, under the new SaaS model, this all drives future stable revenue growth.  On the ecommerce front, our Distributed Order Management platform processed more than $60 million worth of orders during the Black Friday period on behalf of our clients, up from $40 million last year.  We also held the largest user conference in our history towards the end of September with attendees and partners from a wide range of industry sectors."

Mark Bentler, chief financial officer of Tecsys Inc., added, "As we continue to transition our revenue base to a higher-quality, stable, recurring SaaS licensing model, we are pleased that the operating leverage that we planned for is beginning to be reflected in our results. We also note that our strong Q2 2020 financial results were impacted positively by both of our two recent acquisitions, OrderDynamics and PCSYS."
