Q4-F2014 and F2014 Financial Review
Q4-F2014 Sales Contracts were $30.7 million, up 18% from $26.2 million in Q4-F2013. Sales Contract growth in Q4-F2014 reflected strength in the corporate and healthcare segment. F2014 Sales Contracts were $97.3 million, up 10% from $88.3 million in F2013.

Invoiced sales to commercial customers increased 20% in Q4-F2014 compared to Q4-F2013, and increased 12% for the fiscal year. Commercial Sales Contracts for Absolute's Theft Management products⁽⁵⁾  were $18.9 million in Q4-F2014, representing an increase of 13% from $16.8 million in Q4-F2013. F2014 Commercial Sales Contracts for theft management products were $58.4 million, up 11% from $52.8 million in F2013.

Q4-F2014 Commercial Sales Contracts from Absolute's Device Management and Data Security products⁽⁶⁾  were $11.1 million, up 35% from $8.2 million in Q4-F2013. For F2014, Commercial Sales Contracts from device management and data security products were $34.0 million, up 15% from $29.6 million in F2013. Growth in this category during the quarter was primarily driven by strong sales of Computrace Data Protect.

International commercial Sales Contracts were $3.0 million in Q4-F2014 (10% of total Sales Contracts), up 8% from $2.7 million in Q4-F2013 (11% of total Sales Contracts). F2014 International Sales Contracts were $13.3 million (14% of total Sales Contracts), up 23% from $10.8 million (12% of total Sales Contracts) for F2013.

Revenue in Q4-F2014 was $23.3 million, a 6% increase from $22.0 million in Q4-F2013. Indicative of the Company's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model, revenue primarily represents the amortization of deferred revenue balances from recurring term license sales. F2014 revenue was $91.0 million, a 9% increase from $83.2 million in F2013.

Adjusted Operating Expenses⁽³⁾ for Q4-F2014 were $19.1 million, up 2% from $18.8 million in Q4-F2013. The change reflected higher sales and marketing expenditures, which were offset by a higher Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental Development investment tax credit which effectively reduced research and development expenditures for the period. F2014 Adjusted Operating Expenses were $74.7 million, up 5% from $71.4 million in F2013.

Absolute generated Adjusted EBITDA⁽⁴⁾ of $4.3 million in Q4-F2014, up 34% from $3.2 million in Q4-F2013. F2014 Adjusted EBITDA was $16.3 million, up 39% from $11.7 million in F2013.

Absolute recorded net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share, in Q4-F2014, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share, in Q4-F2013. F2014 net income was $3.6 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share, in F2013.

Cash from operating activities was $1.9 million for Q4-F2014, down 38% from $3.2 million in Q4-F2013.  F2014 cash from operating activities was $15.5 million, down 12% from $17.5 million in F2013. F2014 Cash from operating activities reflects the payment of $1.4 million of post-retirement benefits made during Q3-F2014 and an additional $0.4 million made during Q4-F2014.

At June 30, 2014, Absolute had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $73.6 million compared to $62.9 million at June 30, 2013.

Quarterly Dividend
Given the Company's strong financial position, the Board of Directors has approved a change in the Company's dividend policy. The quarterly dividend will increase from $0.06 to $0.07 per common share.  This increase is expected to be implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  There is no change to the current $0.06 per share dividend scheduled to be paid on August 28, 2014 to those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2014.

Corporate Outlook
Management remains confident in Absolute's market opportunity. For F2015, management expects Sales Contracts and cash from operating activities to increase over F2014 levels.

Non-IFRS Measures and Definitions
Throughout this press release, we refer to a number of measures which we believe are meaningful in the assessment of the Company's performance. All these metrics are non-standard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and are unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Readers are cautioned that the disclosure of these items is meant to add to, and not replace, the discussion of financial results or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS.  For a discussion of the purpose of these non-IFRS measures, please refer to the Company's Fiscal 2014 MD&A on SEDAR at www.SEDAR.com.

These measures, as well as their method of calculation or reconciliation to IFRS measures, are as follows:

1) Sales Contracts
See the "Subscription Business Model" section of the MD&A for a detailed discussion of why we believe Sales Contracts (also known as "bookings") provide a meaningful performance metric.  Sales Contracts are included in deferred revenue (see Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), and result from invoiced sales of our products and services.

2) Basic and diluted Cash from Operating Activities per share
As a result of the nature of our revenues (please refer to "Subscription Business Model" in the MD&A), we use Cash from Operating Activities as a measure of profitability. Accordingly, we believe that Cash from Operating Activities per share is a meaningful indicator of profitability per share. Cash from Operating Activities per share is calculated by dividing Cash from Operating Activities by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period (basic), or the fully diluted number of shares using the treasury stock method (diluted).

3) Adjusted Operating Expenses
A number of significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses are reported in our Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses.  Management believes that analyzing these expenses exclusive of these non-cash or non-recurring items provides a useful measure of the cash invested in the operations of its business. The items excluded in the determination of Adjusted Operating Expenses are share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of property and equipment, and restructuring charges and certain post-retirement benefits. For a description of the reasons these items are adjusted, please refer to the Fiscal 2014 MD&A.

4) Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes that analyzing operating results exclusive of significant non-cash items provides a useful measure of the Company's performance. The term Adjusted EBITDA refers to earnings before deducting interest and investment gains (losses), income taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, foreign exchange gain or loss, share-based compensation, and restructuring charges and post-retirement benefits.  The non-cash items excluded in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA include share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, amortization of property and equipment, and restructuring charges and certain post-retirement benefits.

5) Theft Management products
Management defines the Company's theft management product line as Computrace products that include an investigations and recovery services component.

6) Device Management and Data Security products
Management defines the Company's device management and data security product line as Absolute Manage and Absolute Service products, as well as Computrace products that do not include an investigations and recovery services component (for example, Absolute Track and Computrace Data Protection).
