TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellation Software Inc. (TSX:CSU) ("Constellation" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 and declared a $1.00 per share dividend and $20.00 per share special dividend both payable on April 5, 2019 to all common shareholders of record at close of business on March 16, 2019. Constellation invested $603 million in acquisitions during 2018 at rates of return that we believe will be attractive. We are optimistic about our acquisition pace for 2019, but we feel that we have capital in excess of our needs and should return the excess to shareholders. Both dividends have been designated as eligible dividends for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Please note that all dollar amounts referred to in this press release are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
The following press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and our annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018, which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website www.csisoftware.com.

Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $831 million, an increase of 21%, or $143 million, compared to $688 million for the comparable period in 2017. For the 2018 fiscal year total revenues were $3,060 million, an increase of 23%, or $581 million, compared to $2,479 million for the 2017 fiscal year. The increase for both the three and twelve month periods compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily attributable to growth from acquisitions as the Company experienced organic growth of 2% in both periods, 3% and 1% respectively after adjusting for the impact of changes in the valuation of the US dollar against most major currencies in which the Company transacts business. For acquired companies, organic growth is calculated as the difference between actual revenues achieved by each company in the financial period following acquisition compared to the estimated revenues they achieved in the corresponding financial period preceding the date of acquisition by Constellation. The Company adopted IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers” (“IFRS 15”) effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the cumulative effect method. Under the cumulative effect method comparative periods have not been restated; however, the quantitative differences between reported results under IFRS 15 and those that would have been reported under IAS 11 and IAS 18 (“prior IFRS”) have been disclosed in the Company’s financial statements. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 total revenue was $3 million lower and $4 million higher respectively than it would have been under prior IFRS. The organic growth figures included above and below exclude the impact of IFRS 15.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITA increased to $226 million compared to $175 million for the same period in 2017 representing an increase of 29%. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITA increased to $757 million compared to $621 million during the same period in 2017, representing an increase of 22%. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITA was $3 million lower and $4 million higher respectively, than it would have been under prior IFRS. Adjusted EBITA margin was 27% and 25% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 respectively, compared to 25% during the same periods in 2017. Excluding the impact of IFRS 15, Adjusted EBITA margin would still have been 27% and 25% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $179 million compared to net income of $76 million for the same period in 2017. On a per share basis this translated into a net income per diluted share of $8.45 in the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to net income per diluted share of $3.60 for the same period in 2017. For the 2018 fiscal year, net income was $379 million or $17.90 per diluted share compared to $222 million or $10.47 per diluted share for the 2017 fiscal year. Excluding the $63 million bargain purchase gain described below, Net income was $116 million ($5.49 on a diluted per share basis) for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and $317 million ($14.94 on a diluted per share basis) for the 2018 fiscal year.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted net income increased to $187 million from $141 million for the same period in 2017, representing an increase of 33%. Adjusted net income margin was 23% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and 20% for the same period in 2017. For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted net income was $2 million lower than it would have been under prior IFRS (IAS 18). For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted net income increased to $597 million from $463 million during the same period in 2017, representing an increase of 29%. Adjusted net income margin was 20% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and 19% for the same period in 2017. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted net income was $3 million higher than it would have been under prior IFRS (IAS 18). Excluding the impact of the unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss recorded in each of the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, an $8 million financial liability accrual reversal recorded to finance and other income in Q1 2018, and the impacts of IFRS 15, the margins would have been 22% and 19% for the respective periods in 2018, and 20% and 19% for the respective periods in 2017.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2018 Cash flows from operations were $208 million, an increase of 28%, or $46 million, compared to $163 million for the comparable period in 2017. For the 2018 fiscal year Cash flows from operations were $662 million, an increase of 25%, or $134 million, compared to $528 million for 2017.

For purposes of calculating organic growth, estimated pre-acquisition revenue from the relevant companies acquired in 2017 and 2018 was added to actual reported revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
Public Sector
For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, total revenue in the public sector reportable segment increased 18%, or $83 million to $556 million, compared to $473 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, total revenue increased by 21%, or $358 million to $2,048 million, compared to $1,689 million for the comparable period in 2017. For purposes of calculating organic growth, estimated pre-acquisition revenues included from the relevant companies acquired in 2017 and 2018 was $84 million and $332 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 total revenue was respectively $3 million lower and $2 million higher than it would have been under prior IFRS. Organic revenue growth was 1% for both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017, and 2% and 0% respectively after adjusting for the impact of changes in the valuation of the US dollar against most major currencies in which the Company transacts business. Organic growth excludes the impact of IFRS 15.
Private Sector
For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, total revenue in the private sector reportable segment increased 28%, or $60 million to $275 million, compared to $215 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, total revenue increased by 28%, or $222 million to $1,013 million, compared to $790 million for the comparable period in 2017. For purposes of calculating organic growth, estimated pre-acquisition revenues included from the relevant companies acquired in 2017 and 2018 was $48 million and $179 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 total revenue was respectively $0.4 million and $1 million higher than it would have been under prior IFRS. Organic revenue growth was 4% for both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017, and 6% and 4% respectively after adjusting for the impact of changes in the valuation of the US dollar against most major currencies in which the Company transacts business. Organic growth excludes the impact of IFRS 15.
Bargain purchase gain
Bargain purchase gains totalling $68 million and $69 million were recorded in the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2018 relating to nine acquisitions made during 2017 and 2018. Of the 2018 amounts $63 million relates to a single acquisition made in the fourth quarter for aggregate cash consideration of $nil. Prior to acquisition the previous owners had begun an extensive restructuring of the business which will need to be completed under Constellation’s ownership. It is therefore expected that the business will generate large cash and operating losses in 2019. For Constellation to ensure a sufficient return on its investment in the turnaround of the business there was a requirement as part of the acquisition for the seller to capitalize the balance sheet on closing with cash in the amount of €47 million (US$53 million). While this cash will be required to fund losses generated by the business in 2019, IFRS does not permit a restructuring accrual to be recorded as part of the opening balance sheet acquisition accounting for the majority of the expected charges. The result is a bargain purchase gain of $63 million being recorded in the Q4 2018 results, and based on current estimates an EBITA loss inclusive of restructuring costs of approximately $46 million that will be recorded in the 2019 results.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements herein may be “forward looking” statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Constellation or the industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. These forward looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and are made as of the date hereof and Constellation assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.
Non-IFRS Measures
The term ‘‘Adjusted EBITA’’ refers to net income before adjusting for finance and other income, bargain purchase gain, finance costs, income taxes, share in net income or loss of equity investees, impairment of non-financial assets, amortization, TSS membership liability revaluation charge, and foreign exchange gain or loss. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration intangible asset amortization and the other items listed above. ‘‘Adjusted EBITA margin’’ refers to the percentage that Adjusted EBITA for any period represents as a portion of total revenue for that period.
‘‘Adjusted net income’’ means net income adjusted for non-cash expenses (income) such as amortization of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, the TSS membership liability revaluation charge, and certain other expenses (income), and excludes the portion of the adjusted net income of Total Specific Solutions (TSS) B.V. (“TSS”) attributable to the minority owners of TSS. The Company believes that Adjusted net income is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration amortization of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, the TSS membership liability revaluation charge, and certain other non-cash expenses (income) incurred or recognized by the Company from time to time, and adjusts for the portion of TSS’ Adjusted net income not attributable to shareholders of Constellation. ‘‘Adjusted net income margin’’ refers to the percentage that Adjusted net income for any period represents as a portion of total revenue for that period.
Adjusted EBITA and Adjusted net income are not recognized measures under IFRS and, accordingly, readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITA and Adjusted net income should not be construed as alternatives to net income determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITA and Adjusted net income may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, Adjusted EBITA and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITA includes 100% of the Adjusted EBITA of TSS.
