Management Commentary

"We continue to make progress reorienting our business on recurring revenue versus perpetual license revenue with recurring revenue now representing 33% of revenue for the quarter" said Donovan Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We know that top-line revenue may be impacted in the short term by the changes we are making, but we expect that any short term negative impact will be more than offset by greater visibility to revenue and subscriber base. In the coming months we will be launching an enterprise messaging service to our existing licensed user base of CounterPath branded Bria and X-Lite customers that total more than one million active users. The paid for subscription is already in private beta and we are seeing tremendous interest in the value provided by enabling multiple devices, messaging and managed provisioning to our small business customer base. Additionally, we continued readying and testing a unified communications and collaboration solution for our OEM partner Nokia, targeted at large enterprises. Our recently launched in Beta Salesforce subscription offering enables users to be more productive by aligning real-time data analytics from multiple communication platforms to the Salesforce Application," continued Mr. Jones.

Financial Overview

(All amounts in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") unless otherwise specified - unaudited. Per share figures reflect the impact of a one-for-ten reverse stock split effected at the opening of trading on November 2, 2015 which has been retroactively applied to the figures in this new release and the consolidated financial statements.)

Revenue was $2.7 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2016 compared to $3.0 million for the same quarter last year. Software revenue was $1.3 million compared to $1.7 million for the same quarter last year, and service revenue was $1.3 million compared to $1.4 million for the same quarter last year.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 2016 were $3.2 million compared to $4.3 million for the same quarter last year. Approximately $0.3 million of the $1.1 million decline in operating expenses was related to a weakening Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar as a significant percentage of the Company's operating costs are based in Canadian dollars. Operating expenses for the quarter included a non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million (2015 - $0.2 million).

Sales and marketing expenses were $1.0 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2016 compared to $1.4 million for same quarter last year. For the quarter ended January 31, 2016, research and development expenses were $1.1 million and general and administrative expenses were $0.7 million compared to $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the same quarter last year.

Foreign exchange gain for the three months ended January 31, 2016 was $0.3 million compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2015. The foreign exchange gain represents the gain on account of translation of the intercompany accounts of CounterPath's subsidiary which are maintained in Canadian dollars and transactional gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

The net loss for the quarter ended January 31, 2016 was $0.2 million, or ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million, or ($0.12) per share, for the quarter ended January 31, 2015.
