Overall for fiscal 2014, bookings increased 3.0% to US$240.4 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04 from US$233.5 million in 2013.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, IFRS net earnings amounted to US$1.2 million, or US$0.02 per diluted share, including US$1.1 million in after-tax amortization of intangible assets, US$0.4 million in stock-based compensation costs and a foreign exchange loss of US$0.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA** totaled US$5.8 million, or 9.6% of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to US$7.3 million, or 11.5% of sales, in the third quarter of 2014 and US$7.1 million, or 11.6% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to US$14.4 million, or 6.2% of sales, in fiscal 2014 compared to US$17.3 million, or 7.2% of sales in 2013.

Cash and short-term investments increased by US$9.6 million to US$59.8 million in fiscal 2014, despite US$7.9 million in additions to capital assets, including the asset acquisitions of ByteSphere and Aito Technologies.

“After a challenging first quarter, EXFO delivered bookings growth of 6% to 10% year-over-year in each of the last three quarters to close fiscal 2014 with a bookings increase of 3% and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04 compared to 0.96 in a more difficult 2013,” said Germain Lamonde, EXFO’s Chairman, President and CEO. “This bookings trend demonstrates we have passed an inflection point on the strength of several new products and solutions that are starting to have a consistent market impact. EXFO has significantly transformed itself in 2014 by bringing to market end-to-end solutions related to key challenges faced by fixed and mobile network operators such as increasing network capacity, assuring quality of experience, enhancing productivity, or introducing new strategic technologies like VoLTE, NFV and SDN.”

“Given our continued flow of innovative solutions, recent contract wins with tier-1 wireless operators and two strategic technology acquisitions, I am confident our bookings momentum will persist and allow EXFO to deliver revenue and earnings growth,” Mr. Lamonde added. “Based on cost savings of US$6 million in 2014, we are also entering 2015 with strong earnings leverage as reflected in the second half of 2014 in which we increased sales and bookings 3.2% and 6.9% year-over-year while generating adjusted EBITDA of US$13.1 million, or 10.6% of sales. With impending sales growth and continued cost controls, our 15% adjusted EBITDA margin target is clearly achievable in a not-too-distant future.”

NON-IFRS MEASURES
 
EXFO provides non-IFRS measures (gross margin before depreciation and amortization* and adjusted EBITDA**) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. The company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the company to plan and forecast future periods as well as to make operational and strategic decisions. EXFO believes that providing this information, in addition to IFRS measures, allows investors to see the company’s results through the eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance.
 
The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
 
*
Gross margin before depreciation and amortization represents sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization.
 
**
