MARKHAM, ON, June 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX: ENGH) today announced its second quarter (unaudited) financial results for the period ended April 30, 2018.
Second quarter revenue increased to $85.2 million, compared to revenue of $79.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Income from operating activities was $24.7 million compared to $21.9 million in the prior year's second quarter, a 12.8% increase. Net income for the quarter was $15.3 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $9.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the prior year's second quarter, an increase of 70%.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $25.4 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to $22.8 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, last year, with the increase primarily being attributable to contributions from acquisitions.
On a year-to-date basis, revenue was $170.3 million, compared to revenue of $158.4 million in the prior year. Income from operating activities was $49.2 million compared to $44.0 million in the prior year-to-date, an increase of 11.8%.
Operating expenses before special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations were $34.4 million compared to $32.6 million in the prior year's second quarter and include incremental operating costs related to acquisitions. Non-cash amortization charges in the quarter were $7.4 million compared to $7.5 million in the prior year's second quarter and include amortization charges for acquired software and customer relationships from acquired operations. On a year-to-date basis, operating expenses before special charges were $68.2 million, or 40.0% of revenue, compared to $63.9 million, or 40.3% of revenue last year.
The Company generated strong cash flows from operating activities of $21.8 million compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. On a year-to-date basis, cash flows from operating activities were $44.9 million compared to $29.0 million in the prior year, an increase of 54.8%. As a result, Enghouse closed the quarter with $155.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $130.3 million at October 31, 2017. The cash balance was achieved after year-to-date payments of $8.6 million in cash dividends, $9.7 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions concluded in the current fiscal year, and $5.1 million for acquisitions closed in prior periods.
Today, the Board of Directors approved the Company's quarterly dividend of $0.18 per common share, payable on August 31, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2018.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures to assess its operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than GAAP do not have standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as results from operating activities adjusted for depreciation of property, plant and equipment, foreign exchange gains and losses, and special charges for acquisition related restructuring costs. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance as it excludes amortization of software and intangibles (which is an accounting allocation of the cost of software and intangible assets arising on acquisition), any impact of finance and tax related activities, asset depreciation, foreign exchange gains and losses, other income and restructuring costs primarily related to acquisitions.
