technology based IP solutions, is pleased to release its unaudited
financial results for the 9 months of fiscal 2012 ended June 30, 2012.
In the first 9 months of fiscal 2012:
Cash flow from operations improved 22% to $3.8 million ($0.19 per share)
compared to $3.1 million in the first 9 months of fiscal 2011.
EBITDA improved to $3.2 million ($0.16 per share) compared to $3.0
million in the same period of fiscal 2011.
Revenues in the period were $7.2 million, as compared to $7.5 million
last year.
Excluding non-cash items, profit was $3.1 million ($0.15 per share).
Reported profit of $1.7 million was up 6% over the same period in
fiscal 2011.
Dividends paid in the period totalled $3.2M ($0.16 per share), an
increase of 140% over the same period in fiscal 2011.
Cash and short term investments as at June 30, 2012 totalled $14.8
million ($0.75 per share).
Working capital (net of deferred revenue) was $15.5 million or $0.80 per
share.
Combined federal tax attributes at the end of June 2012 were
approximately $7 million.
The board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of 3.5 cents
per share on Sylogist's Common Shares, an increase of 17% over the
previous quarter.�� The dividend will be treated as an eligible dividend
within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The dividend will be paid on September 18, 2012 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on September 7, 2012.
"Results in the first 9 months of fiscal 2012 improved over the previous
year.�� Key financial metrics including cash flow from operations,
EBITDA and profit increased over the same period in fiscal 2011. Moving
into fiscal 2013 we expect a material increase in recurring revenue,
cash flow from operations and EBITDA over 2012 results. This positive
change reflects the implementation of market based pricing that
recognizes the competitive value of our comprehensive solutions,
specifically in education payroll and related services, which few
others can offer. Given the expected increase in cash flow and EBITDA,
the board has increased the quarterly dividend to 3.5 cents per share,
subject to further review concurrent with Q1 2013 reported results,"
stated Jim Wilson, Chairman, President and CEO.
