Michael Jamieson, MAM Software Group President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "During the quarter we continued the execution of our technology roadmap and strategy, which includes the management of multiple large scale-implementations for our customers. We remain focused on developing this next-generation automotive platform that we expect to leverage across the broader market to drive future new business."

"Simultaneously, our cloud-based business model continues to resonate with customers and now accounts for 53% of total revenue. Growth in this part of our business is very important as it drives our recurring revenue, which represents the overwhelming majority of our business at 81% of the total," continued Jamieson. "Organic revenue growth of just over 8% was again offset by a significant foreign currency impact from our U.K. business. Taking everything into account, we are pleased with the progress made during the quarter."

Revenue was $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 versus $7.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of $257,000, or 3.4%.

On a constant currency basis, total revenues would have been $8.2 million, or an increase of 8.1% over the same period last year.
Recurring revenue for the quarter was $6.4 million, or 81% of total revenue, an increase of $520,000 or 8.9%, over $5.9 million, or 76% of total revenue for the third quarter last year. Sequentially, recurring revenue increased $77,000, or 1.2%, compared to $6.3 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2016. The increase was due to the transition to Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
- Total Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue for the quarter was $1.8 million, an increase of $498,000, or 38.7%, year-over-year and an increase of $82,000, or 4.8%, sequentially when compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2016. The increase in the SaaS revenue was primarily attributable to a 25.3% increase in Autowork Online (SaaS) revenue for the quarter to $1.1 million, and a 67.2% increase in Autopart Online (SaaS) revenue for the quarter to $690,000.
- Total Data as a Service (DaaS) revenue for the quarter was $2.4 million, an increase of $36,000, or 1.5%, year over year and a decrease of $17,000, or -0.7%, sequentially when compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2016.

Gross profit for the quarter was $4.4 million, or 55% of total revenue, an increase of $62,000 compared to $4.3 million, or 56% of total revenue, for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margin, as a percent of total revenue, was primarily the result of the shift in the business mix to the SaaS model since there are additional APOL infrastructure costs, partly offset by an increase in higher margin special project revenue primarily related to customization work in the U.S.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased by $173,000 to $3.5 million, an increase of 5.2% as compared to the $3.4 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of higher general and administrative expenses primarily due to costs associated with changes within the accounting and finance organization and expenses from Origin, which was partially offset by a decrease in sales and marketing expenses.

Operating income for the quarter decreased by $111,000, or 12%, to $855,000, as compared to $966,000, for the same period last year.

Other expense for the quarter of $104,000 was the result of increased interest expense on borrowings used to fund a public tender offer completed in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 and compares to $4,000 for the same period last year.

Net income for the quarter decreased by $125,000, or 17%, to $596,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $721,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.

Year-to-Date Highlights

Total revenue was $23.8 million, an increase of 0.3% compared to $23.7 million in the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, total revenue would have been $24.8 million, or an increase of 5% over the same period last year.

Year-to-Date Financial Results:

Revenue was $23.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 versus $23.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of $75,000 or 0.3%.

On a constant currency basis, revenue was up 5% over the same period last year.
Recurring revenue for the nine months was $18.9 million, or 80% of total revenue, an increase of $1.2 million, or 7.3%, over $17.7 million, or 74% of total revenue for the same period last year.
- Total Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue for the nine months was $5 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 41.9%, year-over-year and an increase of $1.8 million, or 55%, sequentially. The increase in the SaaS revenue was primarily attributable to a 27% increase in Autowork Online (SaaS) revenue for the nine months to $3.1 million, and a 76% increase in Autopart Online (SaaS) revenue for the nine months to $1.9 million.
- Total Data as a Service (DaaS) revenue for the nine months was $7.3 million, an increase of $92,000, or 1.3%, year over year.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $13.1 million, or 55% of total revenue, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to $13.9 million, or 58% of total revenue, for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margins was primarily the result of the shift in the business mix to the SaaS model since there are additional APOL infrastructure costs and an increase in professional service staff to support growth.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $555,000 to $10.4 million, a decrease of 5%, as compared to the $11.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease was partially the result of lower sales and marketing due to lower headcount in the U.S. and lower commissions and staff incentives in the U.K. The decrease was also partially the result of lower general and administrative expenses due to adjustments to management incentive plan, reductions from realignment of the MAM NA management structure, and strategic goal incentives, partially offset by costs associated with changes within the accounting and finance organization in fiscal 2016 and expenses from Origin.

Operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $269,000, or 9.2%, to $2.6 million as compared to $2.9 million for the same period last year.

Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $59,000 was the result of a $217,000 gain from the settlement of liabilities with certain vendors which was partially offset by $158,000 of interest expense on borrowings used to fund a tender offer completed in the second fiscal quarter of 2016, and compares to other expense of $9,000 for the same period last year.

Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $91,000, or 4%, to $2.2 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.

Balance Sheet and Other Financial Highlights

The Company finished the quarter with $1.6 million in cash after capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs of $2.1 million and utilizing $4.5 million of cash to fund a portion of the repurchase of 2,000,000 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $15.0 million in a public tender offering during the second fiscal quarter of 2016.

Business Outlook

The Company's expectations for Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2016 remain in the range of $5.0 million to $5.2 million, but the expectations are dependent on certain key assumptions, including closing certain deals in the pipeline and foreign currency exchange rates.
