Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 |
(Unaudited in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) |

Founded in 1984, Sangoma Technologies Corporation (“Sangoma” or the “Company”) is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: STC) and NASDAQ (NASDAQ: SANG). The Company was incorporated in Canada, its legal name is Sangoma Technologies Corporation and its primary operating subsidiaries for fiscal 2024 are Sangoma Technologies Inc., Sangoma US Inc., Digium Inc., NetFortris Corporation, Star2Star Communications LLC, VoIP Supply LLC, and VoIP Innovations LLC.
Sangoma is a leading provider of hardware and software components that enable or enhance Internet Protocol Communications Systems for both telecom and datacom applications. Enterprises, small to medium sized businesses (“SMBs”) and telecom operators globally rely on Sangoma’s technology as part of their mission critical infrastructures. The product line includes data and telecom boards for media and signal processing, as well as gateway appliances and software.
The Company is domiciled in Ontario, Canada. The address of the Company’s registered office is 100 Renfrew Dr., Suite 100, Markham, Ontario, L3R 9R6 and the Company operates in multiple jurisdictions.
2. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
These interim financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 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, 2023 (“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 May 8, 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, 2023. 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, 2023.
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 and consideration payable are recorded at fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of:
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, | June 30, |
| 2024 | 2023 |
| $ | $ |
Cash at bank and on hand | 18,389 | | 11,156 | |
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 March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three month periods ended | Nine month periods ended |

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 and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 |
(Unaudited in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) |
During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company received $1,574 (March 31, 2023 - $nil) 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 $4,271 as at March 31, 2024 (June 30, 2023 - $5,845).
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:
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, | June 30, |
| 2024 | 2023 |
| $ | $ |
Trade receivables aging: | | |
0-30 days | 11,574 | | 11,759 | |
31-90 days | 2,629 | | 3,313 | |
Greater than 90 days | 2,625 | | 2,554 | |
| 16,828 | | 17,626 | |
Expected credit loss provision | (1,382) | | (1,566) | |
| 15,446 | | 16,060 | |
The movement in the provision for expected credit losses can be reconciled as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, | June 30, |
| 2024 | 2023 |
| $ | $ |
Expected credit loss provision: | | |
Expected credit loss provision, beginning balance | (1,566) | (2,281) |
Net change in expected credit loss provision during the period | 184 | 715 |
Expected credit loss provision, ending balance | (1,382) | (1,566) |
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 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 March 31, 2024:

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 March 31, 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 $96 (June 30, 2023 - $76) 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. As at March 31, 2024, a change in the interest rate of 1% per annum would have an impact of approximately $701 (March 31, 2023 - $719) per annum in finance costs. The Company also entered an interest rate swap arrangement for its loan facility (Note 15) to manage the exposure to changes in SOFR-rate based interest rate. As described in detail in Note 15, the fair value of the interest rate swaps are a current asset of $879 and non-current asset of $391 on March 31, 2024 (June 30, 2023 - current asset of $1,218 and non-current asset of $768).
5. Capital management
The Company’s objectives in managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s assets, to ensure sufficient liquidity to sustain the viability of the future development of the business via advancement of its significant research and development efforts, to conservatively manage financial risk and to maximize investor, creditor, and market confidence. The Company considers its capital structure to include its shareholders’ equity and operating facilities and loans. Working capital is optimized via stringent cash flow policies surrounding disbursement, foreign currency exchange and investment decision-making. There have been no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period, and apart from the financial covenants as discussed in Note 15, the Company is not subject to any other capital requirements imposed by external parties.

(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 March 31, 2024, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $32,261 (June 30, 2023 – $39,621). The interest rate swap has a weighted average fixed rate of 1.80% (June 30, 2023 – 1.80%) and have been designated as an effective cash flow hedge and therefore qualifies for hedge accounting.
As at March 31, 2024, the fair value of the interest rate swap assets were valued at current of $879 (June 30, 2023 - $1,218) and non-current $391 (June 30, 2023 – $768). The current and non-current derivative assets were recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.
For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024, the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps, net of tax, were a gain of $39 and a loss of $535 (March 31, 2023 – a loss of $357 and a gain of $292) recorded in other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Sangoma Technologies Corporation |
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 |
(Unaudited in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) |
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.
16. Contract liabilities

17. Shareholders' equity
(i)Share capital
The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As at March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares consist of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Shares issued as installment for shares to be issued | | — | 857,143 | — | 2,695,601 |
Shares purchased and cancelled | | — | (29,800) | — | (108,622) |

Outstanding, end of the period | | 33,332,867 | 23,895,511 | 33,332,867 | 23,895,511 |
During the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, a total of 294,500 (March 31, 2023 – nil) shares were issued upon the exercise of Restricted Share Units, and the Company recorded a charge of $1,020 (March 31, 2023 – $nil) from contributed surplus to share capital.
(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 and 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, with respect to the 50% based on 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 three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense in the amount of $764 and $2,282 (March 31, 2023 - $541 and $2,738).

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 nine month period ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 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 March 31, 2024. The MD&A is for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same periods in the previous year. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with Sangoma’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024 and Sangoma’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended June 30, 2023 (“Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“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 May 8, 2024.
NON-IFRS MEASURES
This MD&A contains references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Cash Flow. 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. “Adjusted Cash Flow” means net cash flows from operating activities as defined by IFRS less the capitalized development costs that Sangoma amortized during the period, plus interest expense (net), restructuring and business integration costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Cash Flow are useful supplemental information as they provide 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 each non-IFRS measure is set out on pages 17, and 19 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 remediate material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls, 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, and acts of terrorism and war, hostilities and conflicts, including, but not limited to, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas and the current armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip (and in each case, associated changes in global trade policies and economic sanctions), and the other risk factors described in our most recently filed Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
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.

The value-based communications segment includes small businesses to large enterprises who are looking for all the advantages of cloud-based communications at a fair price. Sangoma’s current Communications as a Service offerings are typically offered with monthly, yearly, or multi-year contracts and include:
Unified Communications as a Service (“UCcaS”)
Trunking as a Service (“TaaS”)
Contact Center as a Service (“CCaaS”)
Communications Platform as a Service (“CPaaS”)
Video Meetings as a Service (“MaaS”)
Collaboration as a Service (“Collab aaS”)
Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS)
Sangoma’s UC solutions are business communication systems (PBX’s with advanced UC features, such as presence/chat, conferencing, mobility, fax, and more) that can be deployed on-premise or hosted in the Cloud, allowing businesses to select the best option for their needs. Unified Communication systems, because of their mobility features such as having the business phone number ring on an app on your smartphone and/or desktop and instant messaging capability, enable remote work and work from home much more efficiently. Sangoma’s Unified Communication solutions fully integrate with our phones, soft clients, and network interoperability products to provide a fully interoperable solution from a single vendor.
Cloud-Based Business Phone Solution
Sangoma offers its customers full-scale cloud-based Unified Communications solutions. With Sangoma, businesses can get contact center, mobility, softphone, call control, and productivity features included for every user at a reasonable price. Sangoma’s hosted phone service delivers the customer experience businesses demand at an affordable price point. Customers can also choose pre-provisioned phones that customers simply plug into their network.
On-Premise Business Phone Solution
Sangoma also offers the more traditional on-premise UC phone system, for businesses still wanting to deploy their business phone system on premise. Whether deployed on a dedicated appliance or in the customer’s virtual environment, Sangoma provides the power and connectivity necessary.
IP Deskphones, Headsets and UC Clients: Sangoma provides desktop and softphone collaboration clients that integrate seamlessly with our UC solution offerings and deliver UC features (presence, contacts, chat, calling, audio and video conferencing, etc.) from a single application, on any device, at any location.
IP Deskphones: Sangoma offers a full line of phones that work with both our cloud and on-premise systems that are perfect for every user type, from casual to call center to managers and executives.
Sangoma’s product line includes entry-level, mid-range, and executive-level phones. All models include HD Voice and plug-and-play deployment. Sangoma’s range of IP phones are customized to seamlessly integrate with all of our UC Systems and provide zero touch installation, simplified system management, and instant access to a wide range of features.
Headsets: Sangoma also offers headsets that either work in conjunction with the desktop phones (by plugging into the phone) or work in conjunction to our desktop soft client (by plugging directly into the computer). These headsets enable roaming of up to 325 feet from the phone or desk computer.
UC Clients and Softphones: Unified Communication Clients (or softphones) are used to make or receive phone calls with your business phone number and can be used as your main phone or as an extension of your desk phone. They are available as an app on your smartphone or computer. These UC clients have enabled employees to work remote seamlessly by enabling phone calls to customers and other employees as if they were in a physical office. Sangoma offers UC clients with all of our Unified Communication / Business phone system product lines.
Trunking as a Service (TaaS)
SIP trunks deliver Internet-based telephony services to businesses using their existing internet connection, eliminating the need for separate traditional PSTN or digital telecom connections. SIP trunking is fast becoming the technology of choice to interconnect an IP PBX system to a telephone company. The main drivers are cost efficiencies (over fixed lines such as ISDN or analog lines from incumbent telcos) and end-to-end UC features/transparency. Cost efficiencies are realized because SIP trunking uses already-available broadband connections at customer premises. Sangoma offers both retail and wholesale SIP Trunking which allows our customers to choose the service that best meets their needs. Either service offers DIDs and number porting.
Retail SIP Trunking
Retail SIP trunking offers predictable monthly expenses with pricing based per trunk. SIPStation, Sangoma’s retail SIP trunking service, is seamlessly integrated into our various UC platforms, making it easy to get up and running. It also includes an integrated fax service option, enabling a business to send and receive faxes from a web interface or from a local fax machine. Typically, small to mid-sized businesses and enterprises would utilize this type of service.
Wholesale SIP Trunking
Sangoma’s wholesale SIP trunking offer is now available following the acquisition of VoIP Innovations. Pricing for wholesale SIP trunking is usage-based but with a larger monthly minimum commitment. This
includes origination, termination, SMS/MMS, e911, and fraud mitigation. Typically, very large businesses or service providers who resell SIP trunks would utilize this type of service.
Fax as a Service
Faxing remains an important communications tool, yet VoIP networks are sometimes unable to send faxes reliably because fax standards are based on very specific timing that can be interrupted in VoIP systems, especially where there is substantial latency. Sangoma’s FoIP service, FaxStation, is a hosted service to remedy this problem, available with our TaaS. It features a telecom appliance with up to four analog connections for fax machines and operates in concert with Sangoma’s fax server data center to encrypt and package the fax communication to make it fail-safe. This is particularly useful for small businesses that rely on fax communications but also for industries with challenging network conditions, such as mining, oil rigs, and ship-to-shore over satellite.
Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS)
Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) is our cloud-based contact center, or customer experience, offering. It provides robust contact center capabilities running in various ways: either standalone, in conjunction with our other cloud services (such as UCaaS), or integrated “inside” our UCaaS product in a simplified version. This latter solution is intended for ‘departmental’ type usage, by companies that are not pure-play contact centers, but that might have a department such as customer service or technical support that operate inside that company almost like a mini contact center.
Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS)
Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) allows developers to easily build services and applications using real-time communication features, such as voice, video, chat, and SMS, via the cloud. Our platform enables Sangoma, our integrator/developer partners, and advanced customers to build new communications services based on voice, rest APIs, WebRTC, and SMS. When running an application on a CPaaS platform, performance is critical. To ensure peak performance, Sangoma offers its own SIP trunking service, providing optimized connectivity in addition to easy access to phone numbers. Sangoma also sells a series of ‘applications’ (or Apps) based upon our CPaaS product that customers can purchase.
Video Meetings as a Service (MaaS)
Sangoma Meet is our video meetings, cloud-based service accessible from any device, be it desktop or mobile. It enables file sharing on screen so collaboration with co-workers is enhanced, integrates seamlessly with your calendar, and enables PSTN phone calls. Sangoma Meet is available in free and chargeable tiers.
Collaboration as a Service (Collab aaS)
Collaboration as a Service (Collab aaS) is Sangoma’s cloud-based offering for enabling people to work together more productively. This service is called TeamHub. It allows users to interact using any of the various forms of communications, including chatting, calling, and video. TeamHub integrates Sangoma’s softphone client software applications (desktop and mobile) and is designed to allow communications to start in one mode (such as chat), and move through different modes very elegantly, in effect ‘upgrading’
that mode of communications to a voice call in real time, and/or upgrading that voice call to a video meeting.
MSP Portfolio
Sangoma’s cloud-based Managed Service Provider (“MSP”) offerings deliver mission critical communication services that businesses need and complement our full line of Communications as a Service solutions. The MSP product line is built upon a tightly integrated, enterprise grade, and end-to-end managed network, which is all supported by an expert 24/7 network engineering team. The current MSP offering includes three primary services:
Managed Security: Sangoma provides a cloud-based service, sometimes called Unified Threat Management (“UTM”), whereby the customers network, including voice and data traffic, are secured by intrusion prevention and detection capabilities. The network security service helps protect customers against attacks and data losses from spam, viruses, ransomware, botnets, etc.
Managed SD-WAN: Sangoma offers a cloud-based software-defined approach to managing a customers wide area network. The SD-WAN service enables network redundancy through the ability to manage multiple internet connections from multiple providers, which is seen as one seamless connection for the customer. If one connection fails, the customer does not lose connectivity and has uninterrupted uptime. The service also provides traffic shaping whereby certain types of traffic can be given priority or forced in priority.
Managed Access: Sangoma also provides a robust broadband connectivity solution, including network monitoring, analytics, backup, and a fully PCI-compliant offering for payment card and credit card transactions. Additionally, our Managed Access solution integrates with Managed Security and Managed SD-WAN services, delivering unique capabilities such as secure, end-to-end peering connections to critical destinations (such as Public Cloud sites like AWS and Azure) and Quality of Service commitments.
Network Interconnection Products
In addition to the CaaS and MSP offerings described above, Sangoma also offers network interconnection products. These products connect different types of networks together, such as VoIP networks to PSTN networks, or VoIP networks to mobile networks or different types of VoIP networks.
Session Border Controllers (SBCs)
Anytime two VoIP networks interconnect, issues of security and interoperability arise. SBCs can manage these issues, including provider-to-provider connections, provider-to-enterprise connections, and enterprise-to-enterprise connections. Sangoma’s SBCs are available as hardware appliances, as software-only solutions running on a virtual machine in hosted environments, or as a hybrid of both. The hybrid solution is unique to Sangoma and provides all the flexibility expected from virtual machine capability coupled with the scalability that is found in hardware-based solutions. Sangoma’s SBCs have broad interoperability certifications.
VoIP Gateways
VoIP gateways are needed any time voice traffic moves from a VoIP network to a traditional PSTN telephone network. As the traffic traverses these networks, there are issues that need to be resolved regarding both the media (the sound of the caller’s voice) and the signaling (the method used to control the media traveling over that connection).
In a service provider or carrier network, much larger gateways perform these same tasks. In addition, there are signaling protocols that are only used when carrier networks communicate with other carrier networks that are not included in the enterprise product line.
All Sangoma’s gateways have broad interoperability certifications.
PSTN Interface and Media Processing Boards
Sangoma’s complete line of boards connect and interface to the PSTN. Even though IP networks are growing and quickly becoming the standard, the PSTN still exists, and new communication solutions often need to connect to the PSTN. These boards are primarily used by communications solution developers in PC/Server based telecommunications systems that connect to the PSTN. They perform a very similar task to VoIP gateways, but are installed inside the server rather than being stand-alone devices. By providing customers with the option of using a PSTN interface board or a VoIP gateway, Sangoma maximizes flexibility based on installation requirements, particularly when space and power are at a premium. They may also be used in harsh conditions that require ruggedized servers.
Open-Source Software Products
Asterisk and FreePBX
Sangoma is the primary developer and sponsor of the Asterisk project, the world’s most widely used open-source communications software, and the FreePBX project, the world’s most widely used open-source PBX software.
Sangoma also offers revenue-generating products and services, beyond the open-source Asterisk or FreePBX software, to users of these open-source software projects. The types of products and services Sangoma offers includes software add-ons to Asterisk or FreePBX, IP phones, SIP trunking, cloud-based fax, training, technical support, maintenance, PSTN cards, VoIP gateways, session border controllers, and commercial/hardened versions of the PBX/UC software.
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Operational
Sangoma is a trusted leader in delivering cloud-based CaaS and MSP solutions for businesses of all sizes. Customers include companies from small/medium businesses (SMB’s) right up to large enterprises who are looking for all the advantages of cloud-based communications and managed network services at a fair price. In addition to those cloud-based Services, Sangoma also has a broad suite of Products to complement its Services.
Enterprises, SMBs and carriers in over 150 countries rely on Sangoma’s technology as part of their mission-critical infrastructures. Through a worldwide network of distribution partners, Sangoma delivers high-quality services and products, some of which carry the industry’s first lifetime warranty.
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. Product revenues are comprised of the sale of products and services that generate non-recurring revenue.
Innovation
As a technology company, Sangoma is continuously working on a large number of projects across its broad portfolio of existing products and services. While the Company has introduced several new additions to its portfolio over the last few years, the majority of the Company’s investment in Research and Development (“R&D”) is dedicated to sustaining, improving on and enhancing its broad portfolio of existing products and services. Sangoma believes that innovation is essential to a technology company’s future. The Company also believes that R&D investment is necessary in order to address the needs of the Company’s wide-ranging group of customers (which include business of all sizes including service providers, enterprises, small-medium sized businesses, and original equipment manufacturers) in over 150 countries, to keep pace with technology developments in the cloud communications industry, to meaningfully compete in that industry, and to achieve and maintain market acceptance.
The Company focuses on creating and introducing products to the market as soon as commercially practical and, thereafter, focuses on enhancements to further improve its products. Such product introductions enable the Company to validate product acceptance to some degree, and to get products to market efficiently to start generating revenue. Furthermore, the Company focuses on keeping its product development costs for new projects under control in a number of ways, including by reusing its existing code base where applicable and by leveraging open-source software.
Sangoma continues to invest in R&D to develop new products and to improve existing offerings with spending on R&D increasing each year.
Sales and marketing
R&D is important, but without Sales and Marketing, customers can be too unaware of the advancements that Sangoma has made in innovation. So, Sangoma continues to increase its investment in both Sales and in Marketing, to promote awareness of the Company, to communicate the critical shift from single products to full solutions to cloud, and to drive customer acquisition.
Sales
Sangoma uses a dual sales path ‘go to market’ approach: direct sales to some of our largest customers and indirect distribution to most of our other clients.
•Direct Sales is typically used for selling to ‘service providers’, OEMs and large enterprise type businesses.
Service Providers is a broad category of customers that included telcos, ISPs, ITSPs, wireless/mobile operators, MSPs, UCaaS operators, etc. These types of organizations are customers and potential customers for Sangoma.
OEM partners are companies that ‘design in’ Sangoma products as a component of their solutions. OEM customers tend to be committed participants in their given markets and have longer-term focus. It is important to reach these potential customers in the early days of any project to secure ‘design wins’ and to have sales and marketing programs that will ensure close collaboration during product and sales development cycles.
Enterprise customers are the classic ‘larger’ companies who buy products or services for their own use. This type of customer has similar ‘use cases’ to a SMB type customer but is large enough that some prefer to do business directly with Sangoma, the Company often wants a direct relationship with them as well, and they are buying enough for Sangoma to cost effectively service them directly.
•Indirect Sales: In most cases, Sangoma uses the indirect or channel model. We value the ‘multiplier effect’ of a channel model (i.e., one of our salespeople sells to dozens of partners who sell to hundreds/thousands of customers), the more ‘local nature’ of a channel partner who is often based quite near to their end customers, and the more cost-effective structure of indirect distribution in a typical sales cycle. In such cases, Sangoma utilizes this indirect distribution model to reach the full breadth of customers, often based upon a two-tier Channel model:
The ‘upper tier’ of the indirect model is typically made up of Distributors or Master Agents, who normally sell not to the end customer, but to the ‘second tier’ of the channel. Master Agents are now sometimes called Technology Service Brokers or Telecom Solution Distributors. This upper tier of the channel tends to be larger organizations and cover broader geographic regions.
The ‘second tier’ of the indirect model is normally made up of Resellers and Agents. Distributors typically sell to resellers, and Master Agents typically sell to Agents. The Resellers and Agents then sell to end users (with some performing other ancillary services such as installation and/or support).
The second tier tend to be smaller organizations (though not always) and are usually more ‘local’ in nature.
Sangoma has parts of its sales team that focus on Direct customers, whereas the majority focuses on the Channel. In the Channel, partners require frequent attention to keep Sangoma ‘on their mind’ in a crowded product marketplace. Therefore, a portion of the Channel sales team services the distributors and master agents as the upper tier of the channel, while a different part of the team focuses on the resellers/agents. Finally, Sangoma has professional sales teams across all our key geographic regions as well.
Marketing
Sangoma also continues to increase its efforts in marketing. The Company has assembled corporate marketing programs with two key objectives in mind:
•to promote the Sangoma brand and positioning, which included conveying the message about the Company’s full solutions and its Cloud-First approach.
•leads generation as one of the front-end steps in customer acquisition.
Sangoma is now using various marketing techniques typical of technology firms to accomplish those two objectives. This includes participation in tradeshows, speaking at selected industry events, attending specialized seminars run by Sangoma’s distribution channel and other partners, investing in electronic marketing strategies (e.g., web presence, social media and blogging, online advertising, search engine campaigns, etc.), conducting lead generation campaigns via email/social media/etc., webinars, creating thought leadership pieces, PR, etc.
In addition to the overall corporate messaging, in support of the above two objectives, Sangoma has developed a comprehensive set of channel promotion programs, aimed at the Company’s indirect partners described above, both distributors/master agents as well as resellers/agents. The Company seeks to attract new channel partners and to grow the business with existing partners. Sangoma has implemented several incentive programs to reward its channel partners for performance and behaviours that Sangoma believes will grow revenues.

Services revenue decreased by 0.4% to $50,354 compared to $50,543. Product revenue decreased by 13% to $10,692 compared to $12,221. Services revenue represented 82% of total revenue this quarter, up from 81% in the same quarter of the prior year, and consistent with our strategic objective. Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased by 3% to $61,046 compared to $62,764 in the equivalent period of the prior year.
For the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, Services revenue increased $3,915 or 3% compared to the same period a year ago. Services revenue represents 82%, up 3% from the 79% for the same period a year ago. During the same period, the Company saw softer Product sales, with related revenue down $6,415 or 16%. Product revenue represented 18% of total revenues compared to 21% a year ago, as a result of our strategic direction to focus our go-to-market on Services, and the effects of the current geopolitical and global economics conditions.

Gross margin | 70% | 71% | (1)% | (1)% | 70% | 69% | 1% | 1% |
The cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased by 2% to $18,046 compared to $18,340 in the equivalent period of the prior year, and decreased by 5% to $55,336 for the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 as compared to $58,300 in the equivalent period of the prior year. The period over period decrease in cost of sales was driven primarily by the associated decrease in Product revenue.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $43,000, down 3% from the $44,424 realized in the equivalent quarter of the prior year and was $131,014 for the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, up 0.4% from the $130,550 realized in the equivalent period of the prior year.
Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was in line with expectations at 70% of revenue, down 1% from the 71% in the equivalent period of the prior year. Gross margin for the first three quarters of
fiscal 2024 was 70% of revenue, up 1% from the 69% in the equivalent period of the prior year. Generally, Service revenues have higher margin than Product revenues.
Expenses
Costs are allocated to four categories as follow:

| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expense was $13,653 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, down from the $14,990 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2023, at approximately 22% of revenue compared to 24%. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, it was $44,822, down from the $46,251 in the equivalent period of the prior year. 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. As we continue to transform our go-to-market strategy, we may see corressponding increases in our sales and marketing expense in fiscal 2025.
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, 2023, available at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov).
The research and development expenses incurred, and the development costs amortized during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $10,189 up from the $9,497 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2023, at approximately 17% of revenue compared to 15%. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, it was $29,509, up from the $28,153 in the equivalent period of the prior year, at approximately 16% of revenue compared to 15% a year ago. The increase was mainly due to higher amortization of development costs, resulting from the capitalization of those costs relating to new Products and Services.
For the quarter ended March 31, 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, therefore no impairment was assessed on any projects.
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. For the quarter, general and administration expenses was $10,652, up slightly from the $10,309 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2023, at approximately 17% of revenue compared to 16%. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, it was $32,978, up from the $31,901 in the equivalent period of the prior year, at approximately 18% of revenue compared to 17% . This increase in the Company’s general and administration spending is primarily a result of our implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system that will improve our business systems architecture, enabling the Company for future organic and inorganic growth.
Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $8,251 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, down from the $8,572 incurred in the same quarter of fiscal 2023. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, it was $24,974, down from the $25,727 in the equivalent period of the prior year.

Sales and Net Loss by Quarter
As expected, 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 will be a lag in revenue. The decline was also a result of the Product business which continues to decline slightly as a result of a continued hold on Capex spending by customers due to macro global economic conditions and uncertainty. However, Services revenue continues to account for the majority of our revenue at 82% of total revenue this quarter, and we are seeing continued quarter over quarter improvement of Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2024 due to increased operational efficiencies as evidenced by our fiscal 2024 cost savings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2024, Sangoma had current assets of $61,599 and current liabilities of $59,303, compared with $61,896 and $63,464 at June 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in current assets is mainly due to the collection of trade and other receivables and inventories, while the decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to the payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities including the $2,096 full and final payment for the consideration payable.
The Company ended the third quarter with $18,389 of cash compared to $11,156 at June 30, 2023. The Company used a portion of its cash to continue servicing the debts, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Trade receivables of $15,446 on March 31, 2024, were lower than the $16,060 on June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the tightening of credit policies and increased focus on collection efforts.
Inventories were $16,175 on March 31, 2024, $1,795 lower than the $17,970 at June 30, 2023 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 quarter were $15,506, up considerably from $7,008 in the same period last year, primarily due to fiscal 2024 cost savings initiatives and effective net working capital management. The Company generated $15,709 of Adjusted Cash Flow from operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, almost doubled compared to $8,859 in the same quarter last year. The reconciliation of net cash flows from operating activities to Adjusted Cash Flow for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 are shown in the table below.

There are no existing or anticipated defaults or arrears on lease payments or interest payments and Sangoma is in full compliance with all debt covenants. Management of the Company believes that the current working capital and expected funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the operating and planned capital expenditures of the Company for the foreseeable future.
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”). Under the terms of the Original Credit Agreement, the Lenders provided the Borrowers with a term loan facility to refinance the Company’s existing credit facilities and to fund part of the purchase of Voip Innovation Acquisition.
On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement to allow the Company to fund part of the StarBlue Acquisition.
On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to allow the Company to fund part of the NetFortris Acquisition. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is comprised of: (i) a $6,000 revolving credit facility, (ii) a $21,750 term credit facility, which was used to partially fund the Voip Innovation Acquisition (iii) a $52,500 term credit facility, which was used to partially fund the StarBlue Acquisition, (iv) a $45,000 term credit facility, which was used to partially fund the NetFortris Acquisition (the “Term 3 Facility”), and (v) a $1,500 swingline credit facility.
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. As of March 31, 2024, these amounts remain outstanding.
On April 6, 2023 the Company entered into a second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to reflect certain administrative amendments and to amend the amount of the revolving credit facility from $6,000 to $20,000 and the amount of the swingline credit facility from $1,500 to $5,000.
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”). As of March 31, 2024, this amount remains outstanding.
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 March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its Credit Agreement.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Analog
Analog telephony is the telephone system that dates back to the original experiments by Alexander Graham Bell. The voice signal is picked up by a microphone and transmitted to the central office. Voice signals from the central office consist of voltages that drive a headset to produce sound. Analog means that the voice pressure signals are represented by voltages levels on the line.
API
Application Program Interface: An API is a purpose-built interface that allows fourth party software to interact with a particular application. 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.
Signalling
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 signalling mechanisms for different types of circuits. Analog circuits use tones such as out-of-order, busy, ringing as well as the dialling 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 signalling protocol used internally by the telecommunications networks known as SS7. In all cases signalling has to be exactly compatible with what the Telco expects, so interoperability and standards are important.
SIP
Session Initiation Protocol: SIP is the emerging standard signalling 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 carries 24 digital telephone calls simultaneously. 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.
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 in a seamless way.
VoIP
Voice over IP: 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.

Sangoma's Services revenue was $50.35 million, representing 82% of total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Products revenue decreased year over year, driven by macroeconomic headwinds and some delayed orders, however is consistent with our strategic objective to shift towards services.
The Company's balance sheet remains very strong as it continues to improve quarter over quarter. The third quarter finished with net cash provided by operating activities ("operating cash flow") of $15.51 million, an increase of 121% from the prior year period, and a cash balance of $18.39 million on March 31, 2024, reflecting a strong quarterly progression of operating cash flow. Cash conversion of operating cash flow to Adjusted EBITDA2 during the second quarter reached 139%, almost two and half times the rate compared to 57% conversion a year ago and 88% from the immediately preceding quarter. Sangoma continues to remain comfortably within its debt covenants.
"We are two quarters into the transformative journey and I am exceptionally pleased and proud of how the Sangoma team is maintaining excellent service for our core customers while bolstering our financial health," stated Charles Salameh, Chief Executive Officer.
"Our initiatives in expanding our go-to-market, reinvigorating our brand and investing in our enterprise architecture program are all tracking to plan. This, along with the continued strengthening of our balance sheet will enhance the strategic options we have to increase the value of our business."
Given the results for the third quarter and the assumptions below, Sangoma is reaffirming and providing further clarity on its guidance for fiscal year 2024. Prior guidance, announced on February 9, 2024, projected revenues ranging between $245 million and $250 million, with Adjusted EBITDA2 expected to fall within $41 million and $44 million. Upon careful evaluation, Sangoma is narrowing its fiscal year 2024 revenue guidance to a range of $246.5 million to $248.5 million and is refining its Adjusted EBITDA2 forecast to be between $41.5 million and $43.5 million.3
Operating expenses1 were $42.75 million for the quarter, slightly down from $43.37 million for the same period last year by about 1%.
Net loss for the third quarter was $1.27 million, while Adjusted EBITDA2 remained strong at $11.16 million or 18% of total revenue, reflecting a 7% increase compared to Q2 of fiscal year 2024.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This press release 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 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 remediate material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls, 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, and acts of terrorism and war, hostilities and conflicts, including, but not limited to, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 (and associated changes in global trade policies and economic sanctions), and the other risk factors described in our most recently filed Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
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 2024 to-date, the trends we expect going forward in fiscal 2024, 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
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:
