"I am very pleased with both top and bottom line results for the full year, the second consecutive year in which we have approximately doubled in size", said Bill Wignall, President and CEO of Sangoma. "Early in fiscal 19, we announced guidance of $100 million in sales and $10 million of EBITDA, figures that seemed ambitious at the time. I'm particularly proud of our growing team at Sangoma because not only did we further increase our guidance part way through this fiscal year, we have now finished 2019 by exceeding even those revised estimates. We had previously stated that we expected in fiscal 2020 to reach 13% of revenue, and while our guidance for that year is contained in our important other press release being issued today, it's gratifying to see us exit fiscal 19 being on track with that metric a quarter early. I'd like to thank everyone at the combined company for their strong commitment during the year and our customers around the globe for the trust they put in Sangoma every day with their mission critical needs."

Gross profit was $66.8 million in fiscal 2019, producing gross margins of over 60% of revenue for the year.

Operating expenses were $59.8 million in 2019, up from fiscal 2018, reflecting the additional expense consistent with higher revenue and following the Digium acquisition early in fiscal 19.

EBITDA was $12.3 million for fiscal 2019, up from $6.8 million in the prior year.

Net income for the year ended June 30, 2019 was $1.5 million, down from fiscal 2018 due to debt service costs, one-time acquisition expenses, and business integrations costs related to the Digium acquisition.

Sangoma continues to manage its balance sheet prudently and finished the fiscal year with a cash balance of $11.7 million, which was further supplemented by the July equity raise. Working capital is $5.3 million and Adjusted cash flow from operations of $13.5 million was well above the $5.9 million in fiscal 2018.

Outlook for fiscal year 2020

Guidance for fiscal 2020 is contained in the other press release being issued today by Sangoma, covering the acquisition which is being announced simultaneously.
