Management
Thank you, Pat, for the introduction, and good morning everyone. It's a please to have this opportunity to speak with you today. I am thrilled to be joining Asure's leadership team as such an exciting time in the company's development. Asure's solid financial and operational momentum, strategic acquisitions, industry-leading service offering, and an overall market reach have ideally positioned us for success well into the future. Now, turning to our financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. Our revenue increased 65% to a record $15.5 million from $9.4 million in Q3 of last year. The increase was driven by a 97% increase in cloud revenue, 48% increase in hardware revenue, 29% increase professional services revenue, and a 9% increase in maintenance and support revenue. This was offset by a 21% decline in on-premise software license revenue compared to Q3 of last year. Our current revenue as a percentage of total revenue improved to 80%, from 74% in the third quarter of last year. Our gross margin for the third quarter was $12.1 million or 78.1% of total revenue. This was an improvement from gross margin of $7.4 million or 78.5% of total revenue in Q3 of last year. Now looking at our profitability metrics, EBITDA excluding one-time items totaled $4 million, an increase of 73% from $2.3 million we reported in Q3 of last year. Our GAAP net loss totaled $1.3 million or negative $0.10 per share. This compared to net income of $315,000 or $0.05 per share in Q3 of 2016. Excluding one-time items, our non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $301,000 or $0.02 per share. This compares to net income excluding one-time items of $680,000 or $0.10 per share, Q3 of last year. Our non-GAAP net income totaled 1.9 million or $0.15 per share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million or $0.22 per share in Q3 of 2016. Now turning to our backlog, which we define as sales bookings that have not yet turned into revenue or deferred revenue including both repetitive and non-repetitive product lines; for repetitive product, one year's value is included in backlog. Our backlog totaled 20.2 million, a 12% increase compared to the prior quarter and a 48% increase from Q3 of 2016. We continue to expect many of our enterprise clients to move through the implementation process this year which will result in conversion from backlog to reported revenue growth. Shifting gears to our balance sheet, at quarter end we had 27.5 million in cash and cash equivalent and 76 million in long-term debt. Finally, our deferred revenue at quarter end totaled 13.5 million, which was up from 9.7 million in Q3 of last year. That concludes my prepared remark. And so, I'll now turn the call back over to Pat. Pat?
