Net earnings before income taxes for the third quarter increased 136% to $159,954 compared to net earnings before income taxes of $67,860 in the same quarter in 2014. The increase in earnings is mostly a result of the Company having written off $80,000 of its share of loss from investments in associates accounted for using the equity method in Q3 2014 compared to $8,000 in Q3 2015.
Company-defined adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $336,000 for the third quarter, compared to an EBITDA of $307,000 for the same quarter in 2014.
"We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the third quarter, particularly the strong growth in recurring revenue from software licensing and user fees. Based on the growth in sales in 2015, and the acquisition of Statopex, we expect to finish FY 2015 with revenue growth in excess of 15% over FY 2014," said Cameron Watt, President & Chief Executive Officer.
"We expect revenues to accelerate in FY 2016 and exceed 20% year over year growth. Given this positive growth outlook, in September 2015 we accelerated spending in marketing and product development and will continue to ramp up spending throughout the remainder of the year and into 2016. We also remain focused on continuing to deliver profits, positive EBITDA, and maintaining a strong balance sheet. Our strategy of effectively investing our resources around recurring revenue products is the key to accelerating and sustaining our future growth and delivering value for our shareholders", said Watt.
