2. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
These interim financial statements for the three month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024 (“annual financial statements”) prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 6, 2024.
3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and uncertainties
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared using the same basis of presentation, accounting policies and methods of computation as those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024. They were prepared using the same critical estimates and judgments in applying the accounting policies as those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024.
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, consistent with those described in the Company’s annual financial statements and as described in these interim financial statements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered reasonable in the circumstances. The actual amount or values may vary in certain instances from the assumptions and estimates made. Changes will be recorded, with the corresponding effect on profit or loss, when, and if, better information is obtained.

(Unaudited in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) |
4. Financial instruments
The fair values of the cash, trade and other receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair values of operating facility and loans approximate their carrying values due to variable interest loans or fixed rate loan, which represent market rate.
Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of:
| | | | | | | | |
| September 30 | June 30, |
| 2024 | 2024 |
| $ | $ |
Cash at bank and on hand | 16,749 | | 16,231 | |
Cash includes demand deposits with financial institutions and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. As at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 the Company had no demand deposits and cash equivalents.
Interest expense (net) comprises of total interest income and interest expense for financial assets or financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss, and can be summarized as follows:

The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and market risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. Where possible, the Company uses an insurance policy with Export Development Canada (“EDC”) for its trade receivables to manage this risk and minimize any exposure.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 |
(Unaudited in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) |
During the three month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company received $nil (September 30, 2023 - $1,164) cash from the escrow account for the working capital provision related to certain indemnification assets recorded in respect of liabilities assumed on the acquisition of NetFortris. The remaining balance is $2,571 as at September 30, 2024 (June 30, 2024 - $2,571).
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for its trade receivables is summarized as follows with some of the over 90-day receivable not being covered by EDC:
| | | | | | | | |
| September 30 | June 30, |
| 2024 | 2024 |
| $ | $ |
Trade receivables aging: | | |
0-30 days | 11,033 | | 12,229 | |
31-90 days | 1,914 | | 2,995 | |
Greater than 90 days | 2,006 | | 2,170 | |
| 14,953 | | 17,394 | |
Expected credit loss provision | (1,225) | | (1,369) | |
Net trade receivables | 13,728 | | 16,025 | |
The movement in the provision for expected credit losses can be reconciled as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| September 30 | June 30, |
| 2024 | 2024 |
| $ | $ |
Expected credit loss provision: | | |
Expected credit loss provision, beginning balance | (1,369) | (1,566) |
Net change in expected credit loss provision during the period | 144 | 197 |
Expected credit loss provision, ending balance | (1,225) | (1,369) |
The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses as prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables and contract assets. The expected
credit loss provision is based on the Company’s historical collections and loss experience and incorporates forward-looking factors, where appropriate.
Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held with major Canadian and US financial institutions and thus the exposure to credit risk is considered insignificant. Management actively monitors the Company’s exposure to credit risk under its financial instruments, including with respect to trade receivables.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support its normal operating requirements. The Company coordinates and align this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through its capital management process.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 |
(Unaudited in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) |
The Company holds sufficient cash and cash equivalents and working capital, maintained through stringent cash flow management, to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained. The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities of the Company as at September 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| within 12 months | 13-24 months | 25-36 months | >36 months | Total |

| | | | | |
Operating facility and loans | 22,050 | | 20,600 | | 16,225 | | 10,225 | | 69,100 | |
Lease obligations on right of use assets | 2,775 | | 1,902 | | 1,537 | | 5,391 | | 11,605 | |
Other non-current liabilities | — | | — | | — | | 2,286 | | 2,286 | |
| 51,417 | | 22,502 | | 17,762 | | 17,902 | | 109,583 | |
Foreign currency risk
A portion of the Company’s transactions occur in a foreign currency (Canadian Dollars (CAD), Euros (EUR), Great British Pounds (GBP), Indian Rupees (INR), Philippine Peso (PHP), Australian Dollar (AUD), and Columbia Peso (COP) , therefore, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period through its foreign denominated cash, trade receivables, contract assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As at September 30, 2024, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the CAD, EUR, GBP, INR, PHP, AUD and COP currencies against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in an approximate $260 (June 30, 2024 - $46) increase or decrease, respectively, in total comprehensive loss.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations is with its credit facility (Note 15) which bears interest at a floating rate.

(b) Derivative assets and liabilities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate risks. All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position. Upon entering into a hedging arrangement with an intent to apply hedge accounting, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and designates the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge. When the Company determines that a derivative financial instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is effective, the changes in fair value of the instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position and will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.
The interest rate swap arrangement with two banks became effective on January 31, 2020, with a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The notional amount of the swap agreement at inception was $17,400 and decreases in line with the term of the loan facility. Effective March 31, 2022, Sangoma US Inc. entered into a fixed rate swap transaction worth $43,750 over a five year period and terminating on February 28, 2027. As of September 30, 2024, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $27,845 (June 30, 2024 – $27,845). The interest rate swap has a weighted average fixed rate of 1.80% (June 30, 2024 – 1.80%) and have been designated as an effective cash flow hedge and therefore qualifies for hedge accounting.
As at September 30, 2024, the fair value of the interest rate swap assets were valued at current of $483 (June 30, 2024 - $727) and non-current $128 (June 30, 2024 – $320). The current and non-current derivative assets were recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.

The fair value of interest rate swap is determined based on the market conditions and the terms of the interest rate swap agreement using the discounted cash flow methodology. Any differences between the hedged SOFR rate and the fixed rate are recorded as interest expense on the same period that the related interest is recorded for the loan facility based on the SOFR rate.

(ii) Share based payments
On December 13, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which replaces the previous share option plan (the “Legacy Plan”). No further grants will be made under the Legacy Plan.
Under the Plan, the Company may grant participants Options, Performance Share Units (PSUs), Restricted Share Units (RSUs) and Deferred Share Units (DSUs). The PSUs, RSUs and DSUs are redeemable either for one common share or for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of one common share (at the option of the Company and as set out in the participant’s equity award agreement). All PSUs, RSUs and DSUs are accounted for as equity-settled awards.
DSUs generally vest immediately and become redeemable once a director no longer serves on the board of the Company. RSUs vest over a three-year period after the date of grant. The expense is measured based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date.
PSUs vest in full at the end of a three-year period. For PSUs granted prior to fiscal 2024 and in the current fiscal 2025, the final amount is based 50% on market-based performance targets being met and 50% on non-market-based performance targets, with the conversion ratio for vested PSUs being from 0% to 150%. The expense related to the PSUs is measured (i) based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation, for the market-based performance targets, and (ii) based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date using the volume weighted average trading price per share on the TSX during the immediately preceding five trading days for the non-market-based performance targets. For PSUs granted during fiscal 2024, the final amount is based 100% on market-based performance targets.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense in the amount of $728 (September 30, 2023 - $662).

Stock Options
Under the Plan (and previously under the Legacy Plan), employees are periodically granted share options to purchase common shares at prices not less than the market price of the common shares on the day prior to the date of grant or the volume weighted average trading price per share on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is determined by the amount the Company’s daily share price fluctuated over a period commensurate with the expected life of the options. During the three month period ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company did not grant any options.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
As used in this Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, all references to the “Company”, “Sangoma”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to Sangoma Technologies Corporation, together with our subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis as constituted on September 30, 2024. The MD&A is for the three month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the previous year. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with Sangoma’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes as at and for the year ended June 30, 2024 (“Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”). All amounts are in thousands of United States dollars except where otherwise indicated.
Additional information about us, including copies of our continuous disclosure materials, is available on our website at www.sangoma.com, through the EDGAR website at www.sec.gov or through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.
This MD&A is dated as of November 6, 2024.
NON-IFRS MEASURES
This MD&A contains references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA. Non-IFRS financial measures are used by management to evaluate the performance of the Company and do not have any meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. Non-IFRS financial measures used herein have been applied on a consistent basis. “Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before income taxes, interest expense (net), share-based compensation, depreciation (including for right-of-use assets), amortization, restructuring and business integration costs, goodwill impairment and change in fair value of consideration payable. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by many investors to compare issuers. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities before taking into consideration how they are financed, taxed, depreciated or amortized. Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures, such as those presented herein, should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow determined in accordance with IFRS. The reconciliation of the closest IFRS measure to the non-IFRS measure is set out on pages 13 herein.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the future success of our business, development strategies and future opportunities. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to management’s guidance on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, statements relating to expected inventory levels, statements relating to future lease and interest payments, , statements concerning estimates of expected expenditures, statements relating to expected future production and cash flows, and other statements which are not historical facts.
When used in this document, the words such as “could”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “potential”, “should” and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements.
Although Sangoma believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date that the statements are made, and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other events contemplated by the forward-looking statements will not occur. Although Sangoma believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct as these expectations are inherently subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Some of the risks and other factors which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with changes in exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and other currencies (in particular the United States’ (“US”) dollar), changes in technology, changes in the business climate, changes to macroeconomic conditions, including (i) inflationary pressures and potential recessionary conditions, as well as actions taken by central banks and regulators across the world in an attempt to reduce, curtail and address such pressures and conditions, including any increases in interest rates, and (ii) the effects of adverse developments at financial institutions, including bank failures, that impact general sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks, and the resulting impact on the stability of the global financial markets at large, risks related to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and any resurgence thereof, our ability to identify and effectively remediate material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls, our current level of indebtedness and the ability to incur additional indebtedness in the near- and long-term; changes in the regulatory environment, the imposition of tariffs, the decline in the importance of the PSTN (as hereinafter defined), impairment of goodwill and new competitive pressures, political disturbances, geopolitical instability and tensions, or terrorist attacks, and associated changes in global trade policies and economic sanctions, including, but not limited to, in connection with (x) the ongoing conflict in Ukraine (the “Russo-Ukraine War”) and (y) any impact, effect, damage, destruction and/or bodily harm directly or indirectly relating to the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East, and technological changes impacting the development of our products and implementation of our business needs, including with respect to automation and the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and the other risk factors described in our most recently filed Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Sangoma undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions should change except as required by law.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Operational
Sangoma is a trusted leader in developing technology platforms for essential business communications. Customers include companies in the SMB, mid-market and enterprise spaces looking for all the advantages of cloud-based communications at a fair price. Sangoma offers a wide range of products to complement its services, delivering high-quality solutions through a global network of partners and distributors.
Sangoma has always been operated and managed as a single economic entity. There is one management team that directs the activities of all aspects of the Company and it is managed globally by our executive team. As a result, we believe that we have one reporting segment, being the consolidated Company. Over time, this may change as the Company grows and when this occurs, we will reflect the change in our reporting practice.
Revenue
Sangoma generates revenue from both Services and Products. Our Services revenue is generated primarily from customers entering recurring revenue agreements for services such as our UCaaS platforms and MSP services. Product revenues are comprised of the sale of products and services that generate non-recurring revenue, including our UC on-prem platform and hardware.
Innovation
Sangoma is committed to advancing its AI capabilities by investing in and developing its proprietary AI platform and collaborating with leading third-party AI platforms.
By building on top of our existing CPaaS offerings and leveraging the low code/no code Studio workflow engine, we are delivering innovative Voice AI and Knowledge AI (RAG) Agent solutions that seamlessly integrate with our existing Cloud, Hybrid, and Prem products and services.
This approach ensures that our partners and customers benefit from both our in-house expertise and the broader AI ecosystem, enhancing their operations with cutting-edge, AI-driven services and insights.
Sales and marketing
Over the past year, Sangoma has undergone a transformation in its go-to-market strategy. We’ve embarked on a brand revitalization program with a strong focus on our digital properties, including new company positioning and refined messaging that reflects who we are as a company.

Additionally, we have forged robust partnerships with key Technology Services Distributors (TSDs) like Telarus, Avant, App Direct, Intelisys, Jenne, and ScanSource to grow our business nationwide through the channel.
Sales
Sangoma utilizes a 100% channel-driven 'go to market' strategy, collaborating with diverse partners and market influencers. Our network includes individual agents, large technology service distributors (TSDs),
and both national and regional distributors. Our customers span from mid-market enterprises needing distributed solutions to smaller SMBs that rely on our partners for digital infrastructure strategies.

Through the Pinnacle Channel Partner Program, we offer extensive support to our partners, enabling them to deliver Sangoma's essential communication platform solutions to their end users. This support includes formal lead registration, training, quoting assistance, co-marketing efforts, and competitive commission structures and incentives.
Marketing
Sangoma's marketing goals are seamlessly aligned with its business objectives, which focus on driving revenue growth and delivering value to stakeholders. We also recognize the importance of increased brand visibility, recognition, and trust within the channel partner community and among end users.
Four key pillars anchor our marketing transformation: brand development and perception, channel marketing and enablement, lead generation, and fostering a culture of innovation and process efficiency.
For brand development, Sangoma has clarified its position as a leader in the communications industry, known for developing essential communication platforms with in-house software for all UC deployment types. This is complemented by offerings such as SIP trunking, hardware, managed services, and managed security.
Channel marketing and enablement are crucial for Sangoma, as we are dedicated to supporting our channel partners and distributors. Our multichannel strategy includes large and small events, webinars, trainings, online advertising, email marketing, public relations, promotional programs, and discounts.
In lead generation, our goal is to deliver more qualified leads to our partners, utilizing both outbound and inbound strategies. These are multichannel efforts targeting our Ideal Customer Profile with key messages about our solutions. Tactics include email, calls, content marketing, online advertising, social media, and public relations.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three month periods ended September 30 | | | | |
| 2024 | 2023 | Change | Change | | | | | | | |
| $ | $ | $ | % | | | | | | | |
Service revenues | 49,693 | 51,156 | (1,463) | (2.86)% | | | | | | | |
Percent of total revenues | 83% | 81% | 1.45% | 1.79% | | | | | | | |
Product revenues | 10,457 | 11,872 | (1,415) | (11.92)% | | | | | | | |
Percent of total revenues | 17% | 19% | (1.62)% | (8.50)% | | | | | | | |
Total revenues | 60,150 | 63,028 | (2,878) | (4.57)% | | | | | | | |
Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 ended September 30, 2024 were $60,150, down 4.57% from $63,028 in the comparable first quarter of fiscal 2024. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in revenue is spread almost equally between Services and Product revenue. Product revenue declined in response to the global economic uncertainty, combined with the impact of Hurricane Helene at the end of the quarter which saw the fulfillment of approximately $629 of orders move from the first quarter to the second quarter. Services revenue was down 2.86% from the same quarter of the prior year and 0.46% from the immediately preceding quarter as result of a slight increase in churn combined with longer sales cycle amid the launch of the Company’s new Go-To-Market strategy. Service revenue represented 83% of total revenue this quarter, up from 81% in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the decrease in Product revenue.

| $ | $ | $ | % | | | | |
Cost of sales | 18,969 | 19,000 | (31) | (0.16)% | | | | |

Gross margin | 68% | 70% | (2)% | (2.86)% | | | | |
The cost of sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $18,969 compared to $19,000 in the comparable first quarter of fiscal 2024, driven primarily by the decrease in Product revenues.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 was $41,181, down 6.47% from the $44,028 realized in the same quarter ended September 30, 2023. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was approximately 68% of revenue which was 2% lower from 70% in the same quarter last year driven by the decrease in both the Service and Product revenues. Services/Product revenue mix was 83%/17% as compared to 81%/19% in the prior year period.
Expenses
Costs are allocated to four categories as follow:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three month periods ended September 30 | |
| 2024 | 2023 | Change | Change | | | | |

Amortization of intangible assets | 8,198 | | 8,361 | | (163) | | (1.95)% | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expense was $12,556 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down from the $16,517 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2024, at approximately 21% of revenue compared to 26% the same quarter a year ago. The decrease was from the reorganization and merging of sales teams to better provide unified solutions, along with other cost savings initiatives undertaken by the Company in the latter part of
the second quarter of fiscal 2024 while the Company reviewed its Go-To-Market strategy and corresponding marketing efforts. As the Company continues to roll out its new Go-To-Market strategy, we anticipate this expense will increase slightly, as reflected in the Company’s guidance for Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA.
Research and development
A portion of the Company’s R&D costs are capitalized each period and amortized on a straight-line basis over three years (see the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, available at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov).
The engineering expenses incurred, and the development costs amortized during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $11,342. This was up from the $9,315 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2024, mostly as a result of higher amortization on the capitalization of labor costs on development projects, higher staffing costs and a renewed focus on product innovations and initiatives. For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any significant projects that have not yet generated revenue, nor did it have any products or services that are not fully developed, and which are material to the Company.
General and administration
Starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company removed amortization of intangible assets from the general and administration expense to give a more accurate view of the Company’s hard costs.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, general and administration expenses were $9,960 at approximately 17% of revenue, down from the $10,808 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2024, but representing approximately the same percent of revenue. The decrease is due to the reorganization and other cost savings initiatives undertaken by the Company in the latter part of the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $8,198 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease from the $8,361 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2024.

Interest expense (net)
Net interest expense was $1,378 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down from the $1,662 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The saving on the interest expense was primarily driven by the quarterly repayments of the term loans and the repayment of approximately 69% of the revolving credit facility.
Restructuring and business integration costs
The restructuring cost was $nil for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down from the $156 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2024.
Net loss
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1,910 ($0.06 loss per share fully diluted), compared to a net loss of $2,444 ($0.07 loss per share fully diluted) for the equivalent quarter of the prior year.

Sales and Net Loss by Quarter
Revenue for the quarter has declined slightly over the comparative periods as the Company’s transforms it’s go-to-market-strategy, during which time there the Company expected a lag in revenue. Over the measurement period, the Product business continues to decline as a result of a continued hold on Capex spending by customers due to macro global economic conditions and uncertainty, along with the effects of Hurricane Helene that were felt at the end of the quarter. There was also a decline in the Service revenues, however, Services revenue continues to account for the majority of our revenue at 83% of total revenue this quarter, and combined with operational efficiencies and cost saving initiatives are having a positive impact on Adjusted EBITDA margin, which increased from 15.68% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to 16.32% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2024, Sangoma had current assets of $54,338 and current liabilities of $59,890, compared with $57,109 and $60,104 at June 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease in current assets is mainly due to the collection of trade and other receivables, sale of inventories and cash used towards the repayment of the revolving debt facility, while the decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to the payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Cash of $16,749 on September 30, 2024 was 3.19% higher than the $16,231 on June 30, 2024. The Company used a portion of its cash to continue servicing the debts, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and a repayment of $4,300 on the revolving credit facility in the first quarter, in line with its capital allocation strategy to accelerate the reduction in its debt level throughout Fiscal 2025.
Trade receivables of $13,728 on September 30, 2024, were lower than the $16,025 on June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower sales and the tightening of credit policies and increased focus on collection efforts.
Inventories were $13,788 on September 30, 2024, $980 lower than the $14,768 at June 30, 2024 as the Company continues to focus on selling existing inventories first while managing new purchases.
The Company’s net cash flows from operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $12,127, and $7,849 in first quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of approximately 55% from the same quarter in the prior year. The substantial increase was primarily due to fiscal 2024 cost control initiatives and effective net working capital management.
Net cash provided by operating activities as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was 124%, representing a significant increase as compared to 79% in same quarter in fiscal 2024.
Credit Facility
On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) in favour of its subsidiaries, Sangoma Technologies Inc. and Sangoma US Inc. (the “Borrowers”) with inter alia The Toronto-Dominion Bank and The Bank of Montreal, as lenders (the “Lenders”).

On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to reflect certain administrative amendments and to amend the amount of the Term 3 Facility quarterly principal installments.
On October 19, 2022 and January 31, 2023 the Company drew down $3,000 and $2,300 from the revolving credit facility, respectively and were fully repaid on June 28, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, these amounts were fully repaid.

On April 23, 2023 the Company, as was originally intended on closing of the NetFortris acquisition, drew down $8,600 from the revolving credit facility primarily to fund the earn-out owing to the sellers pursuant to the stock purchase agreement dated March 28, 2022 (the “NetFortris Purchase Agreement”). On September 26, 2024 a total of $4,300 was repaid and as of September 30, 2024, the amount of $4,300 remains outstanding.
On June 4, 2024, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to reflect certain administrative amendments.
Under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its lenders, the Company must satisfy certain financial covenants, principally in respect of total funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes
and amortization, and debt service coverage ratio. As at September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its Credit Agreement.

GUIDANCE
First Quarter Achievements against Guidance
On September 18, 2024, the Company provided guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 for revenue in the range of $61.0 million to $62.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9.0 million to $10.0 million.
The Company’s actual first quarter fiscal 2025 revenue was $60.2 million, just below the guidance range due mainly to the effects of Hurricane Helene, which pushed the fulfillment of approximately $629 of product orders into the second quarter. Actual Adjusted EBITDA was $9.8 million, coming in at the high end of guidance.
Fiscal 2025 Guidance
The Company is re-affirming the guidance for the fiscal 2025 that it provided on September 18, 2024. The Company expects revenue in the range of $250 million to $260 million and Adjusted EBITDA from $42 million to $46 million,
Our guidance is based on the Company’s assessment of many material assumptions, including:
•The Company’s ability to manage current supply chain constraints, including our ability to secure electronic components and parts, manufacturers being able to deliver ongoing quantities of finished
products on schedule, no further material increases in cost for electronic components, and no significant delay or material increases in cost for shipping
•The successful transformation of the Company’s go-to-market strategy
•The revenue trends the Company experienced in fiscal 2025 to-date, the trends we expect going forward in fiscal 2025, the impact of our transformation of our go-to-market strategy and the impact of growing economic headwinds globally
•The continuing effects of recent macro factors such as inflation, interest rates, recessions, invasions or declarations of war
•There being continuing growth in the global UCaaS and cloud communications markets more generally
•There being continuing demand and subscriber growth for our Services and continuing demand as anticipated for our Products
•The impact of changes in global exchange rates on the demand for the Company’s Products and Services
•The ability of the Company’s customers to continue their business operations without any material impact on their requirements for the Company’s Products and Services
•The Company’s forecasted revenue from its internal sales teams and via channel partners will meet current expectations, which is based on certain management assumptions, including continuing demand for the Company’s products and services, no material delays in receipt of products from its contract manufacturers, no further material increase to the Company’s manufacturing, labour or shipping costs
•That the Company is able to attract and retain the employees needed to maintain the current momentum
•The timely execution of our ERP implementation in line with our forecasted budget

A typical API is the user interface for Windows that allows programmers to write programs for Windows that use all its built-in utilities. APIs do not depend on revealing source code, in general. They are usually well documented and include sample programs that make development easy.
Codec
In the telephony context a codec is a mechanism of digitally encoding voice. On the PSTN a voice channel takes up 64kbps in a codec standard called G.711. Cell phones use a codec called GSM that compresses the voice further so that a GSM call consumes about 24kbps. Other compressed codecs are used in VoIP to conserve bandwidth. These include standards such as G.729, G.723. Most audio codecs are lossy, in that some of the voice quality is degraded by the compression. On the other hand, as bandwidth becomes cheaper, VoIP allows one to use other codecs that in fact use more bandwidth than the PSTN, the so-called broadband codecs that have DVD-like voice quality.
Digital telephony
In the modern PSTN only the “last mile” line to the customer is still analog, all other internal parts of the network are digital. Digital in this case means that at the central office the analog signal from the subscriber’s telephone is sampled digitally, converting the line voltages to a series of numbers that can be easily transmitted error free over long distances. See T1, E1 below.
DID
Direct Inward Dialing (“DID”) is a virtual phone number that uses the existing phone lines to route incoming calls. Callers can connect to a phone extension directly without an operator. This offers convenience for both employees and callers alike. DID offers a cost saving on its own and is less expensive when purchased with a SIP trunk.
Gateway
In the telephony context this is typically a separate unit with its own case and power supply that provides VoIP-to-PSTN services for a VoIP network. Almost all gateway devices use SIP interfaces to the VoIP system over Ethernet and have analog or digital telephony interfaces that connect to the PSTN. VoIP gateways are available from many manufacturers including Audiocodes, Cisco, Grandstream, Patton Electronics and many others.
ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network (“ISDN”) is a set of communications standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data, and other network services over the traditional circuits of the public switched telephone network. Of the many variations of ISDN, Sangoma supports BRI (Basic Rate Interface) which is essentially an all-digital replacement for ordinary analog lines and PRI (Primary Rate Interface) which is used over T1 and E1 lines. BRI is very popular outside of North America. PRI is used worldwide.
IoT
Internet of Things (“IoT”) refers to a system of interrelated, internet-connected objects that are able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without human intervention.
IP
The Internet Protocol (“IP”) is the primary protocol in the internet layer of the Internet protocol suite, and delivers data packets from the source host to the destination host solely based on the IP address.
ISP
Internet Service Provider
ITSP
Internet Telephony Service Provider who offer telecommunications service including voice over internet type connections.
IVR
Interactive Voice Response: IVR systems use the phone to navigate a menu, for example those used by banks to allow access to customer’s account information. IVR systems have typically been driven by dial tones as the buttons on your phone are pressed, but increasingly they are using voice recognition for navigation.
Open Source
Open Source software is distributed free subject to certain conditions. Open Source licenses usually stipulate that source code must always be distributed or made available, and any improvements in the code have to be donated back to the community. It is possible to have dual licensing: Open Source to the community and also a closed, commercial license of the same or similar software.
NetBorder
This is the trade name of a Sangoma SIP to PSTN gateway product. It includes several other functions in addition to the PSTN gateway function. The mass marketed version is known as NetBorder Express or NBE.
PBX
Private branch exchange. A PBX is a premised basis device to deliver calls from the PSTN or VOIP network to phones in a single or multiple locations.
PSTN
Public Switched Telephone Network: This is the standard telephone network that has been in operation for many decades. A telephone or FAX or PBX or other telephony device is generally connected to an analog line at a wall plug, which is connected by “last mile” cabling to the central office. The analog signal from the device is converted to a digital signal at the Telco central office and is multiplexed, 24 simultaneous voice channels per line (in North America) onto a T1 for onward transmission. At the other end of the line the digital channel is reconverted to analog for transmission over the “last mile” to the receiving phone or other device.
SBC
A Session Border Controller (“SBC”) is a device deployed in Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) networks to exert control over the signaling and usually also the media streams involved in setting up, conducting, and tearing down telephone calls or other interactive media communications. SBCs are deployed as demarcation points between enterprises and service providers and between service provider networks.
SD-WAN
A Software-defined Wide Area Network (“SD-WAN”) uses software to control and manage connectivity across a customers wide area network. While traditional wide area networks rely on physical routers to connect remote users, this centralized software solution can help customers monitor their performance of the network and manage traffic.
Signaling
Call setup and tear down is remarkably complicated, involving such things as responding to the different tones as well as generating them, caller identification, and handling the different features like hook-flash and voicemail properly. There are different signaling mechanisms for different types of circuits. Analog circuits use tones such as out-of-order, busy, ringing as well as the dialing tones. T1 lines often use a data protocol called ISDN PRI, where packets of control data are exchanged on a separate data channel. ISDN PRI is a simplification of the general signaling protocol used internally by the telecommunications networks known as SS7. In all cases, signaling must be exactly compatible with what the Telco expects, so interoperability and standards are important.
SIP
Session Initiation Protocol: SIP is the emerging standard signaling protocol for VoIP, though it has much broader applications. SIP is responsible for setting up and teardown of two party and multiparty calls, as well as a host of management features. To a great and increasing extent, VoIP calls are SIP based. The term SIP Trunk is used to describe the provision of a SIP line to an end customer.
T1, E1
A T1 line is a circuit that simultaneously carries 24 digital telephone calls. At higher densities, 28 T1s are aggregated into a T3 line carrying 672 calls. Larger offices can also connect to the central office via T1 directly, so as to have only one circuit for up to
24 calls. T1 is standard in North America and Japan while E1 is the standard in the rest of the world. E1 carries 30 channels of digitized voice per line.
TDM
Time Division Multiplexing (“TDM”) is used in circuit switched networks to increase the number of calls carried simultaneously on any one circuit and formed the basis for the digital telephony networks.
TSD
A Technology Services Distributor (TSD) is a company that connects technology vendors and selling partners, and provides technology service solutions to IT sales agents. TSDs are also known as "master agents" or "telecom agents or brokers". TSDs play a key role in the technology advisory channel, and offer many benefits, including: quick access to solutions, generating sales volume, collecting commissions, industry experience and business solutions, enablement training, and marketing activities.
Unified Communications
Unified communications is a concept in which voice, email, messaging, video, and any other type of communication are all considered forms of data that can be combined, manipulated, and used in intelligent applications seamlessly.
VoIP
Voice over IP is the transfer of voice traffic over the Internet Protocol. IP is used universally for all networking, including local area networks and private networks, not just the Internet. VoIP is not necessarily voice over the Internet, but voice over general data networks.
NEWS RELEASE
SANGOMA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2025 RESULTS
Net Cash provided by operating activities increased 55% year-over-year with 124% of Adjusted EBITDA being converted to operating cash flow
MARKHAM, ONTARIO, November 6, 2024 – Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX: STC; Nasdaq: SANG) (“Sangoma” or the “Company”), a trusted leader in delivering cloud-based Communications as a Service solutions for companies of all sizes, today announced its first quarter financial results and unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Unaudited in US $000 | Q1 FY2025 | Q1 FY2024 | Change | Q4 FY2024 | Change | | | |
Revenue | $60,150 | $63,028 | (5)% | $60,934 | (1)% | | | |
Gross profit | $41,181 | $44,028 | (6)% | $41,807 | (1)% | | | |
Operating expenses1 | $42,056 | $45,001 | (7)% | $41,600 | 1% | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net loss | $(1,910) | $(2,444) | | $(1,708) | | | | |
Net loss per share (fully diluted) | $(0.06) | $(0.07) | | $(0.05) | | | | |
Adjusted EBITDA2 | $9,814 | $9,882 | (1)% | $11,110 | (12)% | | | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $12,127 | $7,849 | 55% | $11,703 | 4% | | | |
Net cash provided by operating activities as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA2 | 124% | 79% | 56% | 105% | 17% | | | |
Total Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $60.2 million, just below the guided range of $61.0 to $62.0 million, while Adjusted EBITDA2 came in at $9.8 million, on the high end of the guided range of $9.0 to $10.0 million. The Company's first-quarter results were impacted by a delay in orders that had been expected at the close of the quarter, primarily due to the disruption caused by Hurricane Helene, which affected both our customers and our operations, given the Company's significant employee presence at our Sarasota, Florida office. The revenue from these orders was approximately $0.63 million and are expected to fully ship in the second quarter.
The Company's balance sheet remains strong as we continue to improve, finishing the first quarter of fiscal 2025 with net cash provided by operating activities ("operating cash flow") of $12.1 million representing an increase of 55% over the prior year quarter. The Company finished the quarter with a cash balance of $16.7 million, reflecting a strong quarterly progression of operating cash flow, primarily due to ongoing cost savings initiatives and effective net working capital management.
Net cash provided by operating activities as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA2 for the first quarter reached 124%, representing a significant increase when compared to 79% in the same quarter of the prior year and the third straight quarter that it exceeded 100%.
Operating expenses1 were $42.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down approximately 7% over the first quarter of 2024.
"We are pleased with the growth of our sales pipeline and average deal sizes, thanks to our new go-to-market initiatives, and we remain on track to meet our fiscal guidance for the year," said Charles Salameh, Chief Executive Officer. "Meanwhile, our business profitability remains strong, with robust growth in operating cash flow during the first quarter. This has led to continued deleveraging of the balance sheet, giving us greater capital flexibility for the future."
Sangoma executed a debt repayment on the revolving credit facility of $4.3 million in the quarter, bringing total debt repayments for the quarter to $8.7 million, marking the second of a series of planned payments aimed at reducing Sangoma’s debt to $55 million to $60 million by the end of fiscal 2025 as outlined in our capital allocation strategy. Sangoma continues to remain comfortably within its debt covenants.
Net loss was $1.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, while Adjusted EBITDA2 remained strong at $9.8 million for the quarter, representing 16% of total revenue. The Company continues to successfully self-fund its transformation and in this quarter spent a total of $0.2 million relating to its strategic enterprise resource planning ("ERP") initiative. Without this investment, Adjusted EBITDA2 for the first quarter would be $10.0 million.
Outlook for Fiscal 20253
The Company is re-affirming guidance for fiscal 2025. Sangoma expects revenue in the range of $250 million to $260 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 from $42 million to $46 million.
Conference call
Sangoma will host a conference call on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at 5:30 pm ET to discuss these results. The dial-in number for the call is 1-800-806-5484 (International +1-416-340-2217) and the participant passcode is 8503464#.

Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measure
This press release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure. Non-IFRS financial measures are used by management to evaluate the performance of the Company and do not have any meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. Non-IFRS financial measures used herein have been applied on a consistent basis. “Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before income taxes, interest expense (net), share-based compensation, depreciation (including for right-of-use assets), amortization, restructuring and business integration costs, goodwill impairment and change in fair value of consideration payable. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by many investors to compare issuers. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities before taking into consideration how they are financed, taxed, depreciated or amortized. Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow determined in accordance with IFRS. The IFRS measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA presented in our financial statements is net loss.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the periods indicated:
