Majesco Announces Strong Fourth Quarter Product Revenue and Full Year Fiscal 2020 Results


Majesco (NASDAQ: MJCO), a global provider of cloud insurance platform software, today announced strong financial results for the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2020.

"We are living in unique times; times none of us have experienced before, and our number one priority is to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and the communities in which we operate", stated Adam Elster, Majesco's CEO "We were an early adopter of the ?work from home' transition, and all Majesco's global employees have been operating remotely since March 16th. We have successfully managed all customer expectations, while ensuring our business continuity, seamless focus and commitment to projects and services."

"Fiscal 2020 was a record year for Majesco, demonstrating the success of our cloud product-based strategy. Companies of all sizes are turning to Majesco to partner with us on their digital transformation journey. I am more excited than ever about the opportunity ahead, the future of Majesco and the insurance industry. Our relentless focus on delivering innovation and customer success has fuelled our growth and solidified our leadership."

"While it may be premature and difficult to predict the business impact due to the unprecedented environment caused by the COVID-19 crisis, we believe customers are likely to shift focus and investment, and move to cloud and digital experience platforms, automation, efficiency and modernization."

"We remain confident in our strategy, committed to its execution and believe we have the right platform in place to handle the near-term challenges associated with COVID-19, while continuing to pursue long-term growth opportunities."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we consider and use EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, a reversal of accrual for contingent liability and mergers and acquisitions expenses.

The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and are not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing Majesco's operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than Majesco, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. We compensate for these limitations by relying on U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental.
