"We are very pleased with our results this quarter," commented Bill Wood, President and CEO of Sylogist. "After a year plus of headwinds from COVID-19, and again from the Omicron variant surge in Q1 and early Q2, we turned a corner in the back half of the 2nd quarter and drove material organic growth. Notably, our organic revenue growth rate rose significantly in Q2, reaching neutral after a number of negative quarters, as projects ramped up and nearly $3 million in additional bookings were signed. We maintained strong profitability, with a 30% EBITDA margin in the quarter, all pointing to our results tracking to plan.

"Based on the positive activity we're seeing, including within our three recent acquisitions, strategic initiatives taking hold, a sizeable and growing backlog, and an aligned, expanded and motivated team in place, we see acceleration continuing and a sight line to organic growth in the high single digits through fiscal 2022, while maintaining the Rule of 40 posture, as we expected."
