TORONTO, Feb. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Optiva Inc. (TSX: OPT) (the "Company"), an innovative software provider of mission-critical, cloud-native, monetization solutions to leading communication service providers (CSPs) globally, released its financial results today for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Financial Highlights

(In thousands of US dollars, except per share information)

 

Optiva Inc.

For the three-month periods
ended December 31,

2018

2017

Revenues

$27,617

$34,400

Net income (loss)

$538

$(64,454)

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share

$0.10

($12.32)

Cash used in operating activities

($1,917)

($16,786)

"In Q1, we focused on the execution of our Strategic Plan," said Danielle Royston, CEO of Optiva. "Our Customer Success program continues to progress, and planned R&D investment of $100 million is now resulting in our first customer deployment on the public cloud. Our collaboration with Google Cloud Platform has led to the innovation and cloud-native transformation of our products, equipping Optiva to bring public cloud to telcos in 2019 and offer customers game-changing competitive and cost advantages."

First Quarter 2019 Results

  • Revenues declined by $6.8 million relative to the first quarter of fiscal 2018 due to a reduction in orders from customers, loss of certain customers and lower third party revenue. The Company adopted IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective October 1, 2018 on a prospective basis.

  • The Company's costs of revenue and operating expenses declined by $70.7 million relative to the first quarter of fiscal 2018 mainly due to lower restructuring costs, research and development costs, and lower cost of revenue.

  • First quarter 2019 research and development expenses included $3.2 million of investment in cloud innovation. In 2018, the Company invested $14.0 million in cloud innovation, bringing the total to $17.2 million so far. We expect to invest up to another $82.8 million in cloud innovation over the next two to three fiscal years.

  • The net income for the quarter is $0.5M compared to a loss of $64.5 million last year mainly due to a decrease in operating expenditures this quarter and the restructuring expense of $47.0 million incurred in the comparative quarter of fiscal 2018.

  • The Company consumed $1.9 million in cash from operating activities in the first quarter ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to payments associated with restructuring.

Business Highlights

  • The Customer Success metric is showing improvement for the period July to December, increasing to the high 30s and up from 33%.

  • Migrated Optiva Wholesale Billing Solution for a Tier 1 telecom service provider in Australia to the public cloud and on Google Cloud Platform.

  • Deployed a new mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) platform for a Tier 1 telecom provider in Latin America.

  • Launched Optiva Charging Engine for postpaid, multi-play and converged product offerings for Middle East telecom leader.
