QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 9, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF), the communications industry's test, monitoring and analytics experts, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2019.
"I am pleased EXFO significantly improved its profitability in fiscal 2019 and surpassed its annual target with adjusted EBITDA of US$25.6 million, while achieving solid growth in sales, bookings and cash flows from operations," said Philippe Morin, EXFO's Chief Executive Officer. "We also fully integrated our transformative acquisition of Astellia to create disruptive solutions that will support our growth objectives."
"Based on sound operational discipline, we completed our restructuring plan, bolstered efficiency and maintained our proven innovation capabilities. Overall, I am confident we have assembled the key building blocks to generate long-term growth supported by a highly differentiated offering for fiber, 5G mobility and network virtualization."
Fiscal 2019 Highlights
- Sales growth. Total sales increased 6.4% to US$286.9 million in fiscal 2019. Service Assurance, Systems and Services (SASS) sales improved 16.2% largely due to a full-year contribution from the Astellia acquisition and multi-million-dollar contract win for EXFO's network topology and automation solution. Test and Measurement (T&M) sales were up 3.7% year-over-year. Annual sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Americas, and Asia-Pacific regions increased 9.5%, 6.3% and 1.6%, respectively, in 2019. EXFO's largest customer accounted for 6.9% of sales in 2019, while the company's top-three customers represented 18.1%.
- Bookings growth. Total bookings increased $11.2% year-over-year to US$297.8 million in 2019 for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04. SASS bookings grew 21.0% due in part to four monitoring orders related to 5G deployments, while T&M bookings improved 8.4% year‑over-year.
- Profitability. IFRS net loss was reduced by 79.8% to US$2.5 million in fiscal 2019 from US$12.3 million in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA, which surpassed the company's annual profitability target, surged 48.8% to US$25.6 million in 2019 from US$17.2 million in 2018. Cash flows from operations improved 20.0% to US$17.2 million in 2019 from US$14.4 million in 2018.
- Innovation. EXFO released several game-changing solutions in fiscal 2019 to accelerate its customers' network transformations. The company introduced the industry's first optical fiber multimeter, creating a new testing category that greatly simplifies, accelerates and automates the task of frontline technicians while maximizing quality of fiber links. EXFO expanded its 400G test leadership with a new module featuring an Open Transceiver System that enables compatibility between current and future high-speed transceivers with EXFO's field and lab test platforms. EXFO released an automated fiber inspection tool for testing polarity, continuity and connector cleanliness on multifiber cables.
Business Outlook
EXFO forecasts sales between US$70 million and US$75 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
IFRS net loss is expected to range between US$0.01 and US$0.05 per share in the first quarter of 2020. IFRS net loss includes US$0.04 per share in after-tax amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation costs.
This guidance, which is a forward-looking statement, was established by management based on existing backlog as of the date of this news release, seasonality, expected bookings for the quarter, as well as exchange rates as of the day of this news release.
For fiscal 2020, EXFO is targeting adjusted EBITDA of US$33 million based on the newly adopted International Financial Reporting Standard 16 for leases (IFRS 16). Note the positive impact of IFRS 16 on adjusted EBITDA for 2020 is projected to be approximately US$4 million.
This adjusted EBITDA target is a forward-looking statement. In addition, as it excludes items that pertain to future events that are not currently estimable with a reasonable degree of accuracy, such as foreign exchange gain or loss and income taxes, no corresponding IFRS measure has been provided.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Words such as may, expect, believe, plan, anticipate, intend, could, estimate, continue, or similar expressions or the negative of such expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events and circumstances are considered forward-looking statements. They are not guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements due to various factors including, but not limited to, macroeconomic uncertainty, including trade wars; our ability to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire; capital spending and network deployment levels in the telecommunications industry (including our ability to quickly adapt cost structures to anticipated levels of business and our ability to manage inventory levels with market demand); future economic, competitive, financial and market conditions; consolidation in the global telecommunications test, service assurance and analytics solutions markets and increased competition among vendors; capacity to adapt our future product offering to future technological changes; limited visibility with regard to the timing and nature of customer orders; delay in revenue recognition due to longer sales cycles for complex systems involving customers' acceptance; fluctuating exchange rates; concentration of sales; timely release and market acceptance of our new products and other upcoming products; our ability to successfully expand international operations and to conduct business internationally; and the retention of key technical and management personnel. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments and risks, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Other risk factors that may affect our future performance and operations are detailed in our Annual Report, on Form 20-F, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian securities commissions. We believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to us, but we cannot assure you that the expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this document. Unless required by law or applicable regulations, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any of them to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this document.
*Non-IFRS Measures
EXFO provides non-IFRS measures (gross margin before depreciation and amortization and adjusted EBITDA) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. Gross margin before depreciation and amortization represents sales, less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) attributable to the parent interest before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation costs, restructuring charges, acquisition-related deferred revenue fair value adjustment, change in fair value of cash contingent consideration, and foreign exchange gain or loss.
These non-IFRS measures eliminate the effect on IFRS results of non-cash statement of earnings elements, restructuring charges, as well as elements subject to significant volatility such as foreign exchange gain or loss. EXFO uses these measures for evaluating historical and prospective financial performance, as well as performance relative to competitors. These non-IFRS measures are also used by financial analysts that evaluate and compare the company's performance against that of competitors and industry players in the sector.
Finally, these measures help EXFO plan and forecast future periods as well as make operational and strategic decisions. EXFO believes that providing this information to investors, in addition to the IFRS measures, allows them to see the company's results through the eyes of management, and to better understand historical and future financial performance. More importantly, it enables the comparison of EXFO's performance on a relatively similar basis against that of other public and private companies in the industry worldwide.
The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
