Recurring revenue was €29.2m in Q2 2015, growing 16% from Q2 2014 and 5% from Q1 2015. Gross profit was €22.5m, up 19% from Q2 2014 and 5% from Q1 2015. Gross margin was in line with Q1 2015 at 77.2%, and up from 75.3% in Q2 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was €8.2m in Q2 2015, up 17% from Q2 2014 and by 8% from Q1 2015. This growth was again achieved despite the adverse headwinds of foreign exchange movements in the quarter amounting to €234k. Capital expenditure supporting revenue growth was higher in the quarter at €9.8m. This contributed to lower proxy cash flow of €(1.6)m in Q2 2015.
“We maintained the strong sales momentum we saw in Q1 2015 through the second quarter and continued to build a solid opportunity pipeline,” said Brady Rafuse, Chief Executive Officer of euNetworks. “Record level new sales and service installations in the quarter ensured MISR growth, putting us in a good position to continue to grow our recurring revenue this year.” “We delivered solid financial results, with double digit growth in recurring revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA versus Q2 2014. This positions the business for further improvement and we move into Q3 with good momentum. We remain confident about the opportunities ahead,” said Rafuse.
