PRESS RELEASE
Majesco Announces Fiscal 2017 First Quarter Financial Results
First Quarter Revenue up 40.5% Year on Year
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Improved to 3.1% over the Previous Quarter
Morristown, NJ – August 2, 2016 - Majesco,a global provider of core insurance software, consulting and services for insurance business transformation, today announced its financial results for the fiscal 2017 first quarter ended June 30, 2016.
“I am pleased with our continued growth momentum demonstrated by the 40.5% increase in revenue over the same quarter last year, which represents the fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth. As expected, profitability improved sequentially as we scale our business and we delivered positive adjusted EBITDA margins during the quarter,” commented Ketan Mehta, CEO and Co-Founder.
“I am particularly excited by the June 2016 launch of our CloudInsurer platform, which provides an out-of-the-box repeatable, scalable cloud platform for all insurers. Recent industry research has indicated that Cloud is at an inflection point, where more carriers are selecting cloud based or hosted solutions as compared to on-premise solutions. I expect our cloud platform will become an important driver for new deals in the future.”

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 one-time non-recurring one-time costs related to the merger with Cover-All Technologies and the listing of
the Majesco common stock on the NYSE-MKT in connection with the merger and stock-based compensation.
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 supplementally.
