The increased net loss is in large part due to specific, non-cash elements, namely $9.2 million in contingent consideration relating to the acquisition of Datum Consulting, LLC and its international affiliates ("Datum") (the "Datum Acquisition") and an impairment of property and equipment and right-of use assets of $3.7 million.

•Adjusted Net Earnings(2) increased $1.9 million, or 81.3%, to $4.1 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same quarter last year. This translated into Adjusted Net Earnings per Share of $0.04, compared to $0.02 for the same quarter last year.

•Adjusted net earnings increased $4.1 million, or 39.2%, to $14.7 million, compared to $10.6 million last year. This translated into Adjusted Net Earnings per Share of $0.16, compared to $0.12 last year.

•Net cash from operating activities was $28.9 million, representing an increase of $27.0 million, or 1,461.2%, from $1.9 million last year.

•Fiscal 2023 Bookings reached $525.4 million, which translated into a Book-to-Bill ratio of 1.01. The book-to-bill ratio would be 1.15 if revenues from the two long-term contracts signed as part of an acquisition in the first quarter of last year were excluded.

•DSO(1) as at March 31, 2023 was 54 days, an improvement from 66 days as at March 31, 2022.

Quote by Paul Raymond, President and CEO, Alithya:

“Alithya is closing out another strong year in fiscal 2023. The team achieved another quarter of revenues and Adjusted EBITDA growth. Our performance continues to improve towards the realization of the milestones of our strategic plan. We have passed the half-billion milestone in terms of annual revenues, and our repeat clients represented over 80 percent of our business in Q4, demonstrating our growing position as a trusted advisor in their digital transformation journey. We have also added 32 new clients in the quarter, bringing our fiscal 2023 total to 144.

This strong base and new clients have enabled us to deliver both sequential and strong year-over-year performance in revenues, gross margin as a percentage of revenues, and Adjusted EBITDA. As we continue to closely monitor global economic factors and potential short-term variations across our markets, we stay focused on our long-term plan of building a trusted, global, digital transformation advisory firm in a disciplined way.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Revenues

Revenues amounted to $136.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of which 80.6% was generated from clients which we had in the same quarter last year, and including $11.9 million from Vitalyst, LLC ("Vitalyst") (the "Vitalyst Acquisition") and Datum, following their acquisitions by the Company on January 31, 2022 and July 1, 2022, respectively, representing an increase of $16.2 million, or 13.5%, from $120.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. On a sequential basis, revenues also increased by $5.4 million, or 4.2%, from $130.8 million for the third quarter of this year.

Revenues in Canada increased by $5.7 million, or 7.5%, to $81.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $75.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in revenues was due to organic growth in all areas.

U.S. revenues increased by $8.9 million, or 22.0%, to $49.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $40.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due primarily to increased revenues of $6.1 million from the acquisitions of Vitalyst, which contributed an additional month of revenues in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year, and Datum's U.S. business, and organic growth in all areas. The increased revenues include a favorable US$ exchange rate impact of $3.1 million between the two periods.

International revenues increased by $1.7 million, or 41.8%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to revenues of $0.9 million from the acquisition of Datum's international business and organic growth in activity levels. The increased revenues include a favorable foreign exchange rate impact of $0.1 million between the two periods.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased by $9.6 million, or 31.0%, to $40.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $31.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 29.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 25.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In Canada, gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased, compared to the same quarter last year, due to increased revenues from permanent employees relative to subcontractors and higher margin offerings. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues also increased on a sequential basis, mainly due to increased revenues from permanent employees relative to subcontractors compared to the third quarter of this year.

In the U.S., gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased, compared to the same quarter last year, as a result of a positive margin impact from the acquisition of Datum's U.S. business, higher average revenue per employee, improved project performance in other areas of the business, and a favorable US$ exchange rate impact between the two periods. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues also increased on a sequential basis, mainly due to improved project performance in certain areas of the business, compared to the third quarter of this year.

International gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the same quarter last year, mainly as a result of inflationary pressures on salary costs and more non-billable hours.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $9.8 million, or 37.3%, from $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, amounted to 26.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 21.8% for the same period last year, driven mostly by the higher historical selling, general and administrative expense percentage of Vitalyst, a $2.8 million impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, as part of Alithya's ongoing review of its real estate strategy following the integration of acquisitions and changes in working conditions in order to reduce the Company's footprint, realize synergies and improve the cost structure of the combined business, and an unfavorable US$ exchange rate impact of $0.9 million, partially offset by reductions in other expense categories.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $4.5 million, or 73.0%, from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As explained above, increased gross margin and the contribution from the acquisition of Datum were partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 5.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $20.0 million, representing an increase of $12.7 million, from $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increased loss was driven by increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including an impairment charge of $2.8 million on property and equipment and right-of-use assets, increased business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, including contingent consideration of $9.2 million related to the Datum Acquisition and an impairment charge of $0.9 million on property and equipment and right-of-use assets, increased depreciation and amortization, increased net financial expenses, and decreased income tax recovery, partially offset by increased gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. On a per share basis, this translated into a basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.21 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $0.08 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Adjusted Net Earnings

Adjusted Net Earnings amounted to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $1.9 million, or 81.3%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As explained above, increased gross margin and the contribution from the acquisition of Datum were partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses, increased depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, increased net financial expenses, and decreased income tax recovery. This translated into Adjusted Net Earnings per Share of $0.04 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash from operating activities was $4.4 million, representing an increase of $8.1 million, from $3.7 million of cash used for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted primarily from the net loss of $20.0 million, plus

picture1.jpg

$28.0 million of non-cash adjustments to the net loss, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, contingent consideration, impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, net financial expenses, and share-based compensation, partially offset by deferred taxes, and $3.6 million in unfavorable changes in non-cash working capital items. In comparison, the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted primarily from the net loss of $7.3 million, plus $6.1 million of non-cash adjustments to the net loss, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, net financial expenses, and share-based compensation, partially offset by deferred taxes and other items, and $2.5 million in unfavorable changes in non-cash working capital items.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 29.0% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, from 26.5% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, despite annual salary increases which came into effect in the first quarter of this year and the non-recurrence of the forgiveness of the $4.6 million in Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans recorded to cost of revenues in the first quarter of last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, amounted to 24.2% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 22.6% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 driven mostly by the higher historical selling, general and administrative expense percentage of Vitalyst, a $2.8 million impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, as discussed above,and an unfavorable US$ exchange rate impact of $2.7 million, partially offset by reductions in other expense categories.
