Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 ended September 30, 2010 were a disappointing $2.51 million as compared with $3.12 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of 19%. This decline in revenue was dominated by the North American market where sales decreased 45% versus the same quarter last year. North America generally (and the United States specifically) have experienced more dramatic and longer lasting effects of the world recession, and Sangoma's sales into these markets have suffered as a result. Further, Sangoma's tight control over marketing and sales activity for the past year or so during the downturn, and a lack of or delay in new product launches, has also had a pronounced effect. Sangoma is taking immediate action in an attempt to correct this issue with a well-considered series of new activities in these areas, under new leadership. Sales outside of North America grew by 28% over the same quarter last year, due primarily to efforts to add/motivate/incent new channel partners and because some of these international markets have recovered more quickly from the recession. While the company believes second quarter revenue may show improvement over the first quarter of fiscal 2011, it is unclear if the quarter ended September 30, 2010 may be reflective of future results. Sangoma will closely monitor the corrective action described above, but does not issue guidance because the size and timing of future orders are uncertain.
Gross margins and operating expenses were fairly consistent with the run-rate from recent quarters. EBITDA for the quarter was $0.53 million as compared to $1.18 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of 55%.
On September 30, 2010 Sangoma had working capital of $10.66 million, as compared to $10.92 million on September 30, 2010. Working capital on September 30, 2010 included $7.61 million in cash and equivalents.
