Continued growth in our recurring revenues also contributed to the increase, as recurring revenue reached 72% of total revenue during the quarter. This was a productive quarter, which included the official launch of Manage Online - an innovative, cloud-based shop management system - in a collaboration with ALLDATA LLC."

Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Business Update

Commenting on the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Michael Jamieson, MAM Software Group President and Chief Executive Officer, said:

"During this quarter, we have continued to make progress towards our strategic goals, building on the results achieved in fiscal 2013. We have maintained investment as we transition our business to a cloud solutions provider. This migration, which involves Software as a Service and Data as a Service offerings, has been successful on a variety of levels. We are pleased with the development and performance of our various cloud-based solutions, and we are encouraged by the response from customers. Our customer retention rate for the quarter, at 98%, was consistent with what we've experienced since introducing cloud-based delivery, confirming that our clients are deriving value from the platform. Attracting new customers to our SaaS solutions remains a priority and we're currently able to recoup our customer acquisition costs (CAC) in six months.

"Our launch of Manage Online in a collaboration with ALLDATA LLC is an accomplishment we're proud of. We believe that this relationship with one of the most recognized brand names in the industry will help to further elevate the MAM brand and meaningfully contribute to our company's growth.

"For the balance of the 2014 fiscal year we anticipate further investment in our sales, marketing and professional services departments. The investments we are making in 2014 should contribute to increased growth and profitability in fiscal 2015.

"For the first time in the Company's history, MAM has no debt and a cash position of $5.18 million," said Charles F. Trapp, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Continued strong recurring revenue, solid growth from our newer cloud-based offerings, and careful expense management helped us offset currency fluctuation impacts and deliver another profitable quarter. We continued to generate cash, eliminated our debt, and also invested in certain growth initiatives that we expect to drive the future performance of our company. As we continue to execute on our strategic goals, based on the outlook at the midway point in our fiscal year, we currently anticipate ending our fiscal year with an EBITDA of approximately $5 million for fiscal 2014."

The Company also reiterated that that it currently has $2.69 million left on its previously approved stock buyback program, which it intends to use selectively as circumstances and market conditions warrant. As of January 30, 2014, MAM had 14.48 million shares of common stock outstanding.
