  • Professional services revenue was $6.9 million compared with $7.9 million in Q2 2018 which included $1.0 million of deferred professional services revenue due to termination of a contract and its associated future obligations.
  • Total gross profit margin was 52%, even with 52% in Q2 2018.
  • Operating expenses were $8.7 million, compared to $7.8 million for Q2 2018.
  • Profit from operations was $0.8 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2018.
  • EBITDA was $1.4 million, compared to $2.2 million for Q2 2018.
  • Total contract value bookings amounted to $16.2 million, up 41% compared to $11.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2018.

* Recognized $4.6 million of Canadian federal non-refundable R&D tax credit

The comparison of FY19 Q2 Operating Profit and EBITDA to prior year results is challenging given the impact of (a) $1.0 million of deferred professional services revenue recognized in FY18 Q2 resulting from the contract termination in that prior period and (b) costs related to the acquisition of OrderDynamics and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.2 million recognized in the current period.  That said, we are pleased with FY19 Q2 profitability and will continue to invest in sales and marketing and research and development to take advantage of market opportunity” said Mark J. Bentler, Chief Financial Officer.
