TORONTO, October 27, 2015 /CNW/ - DH Corporation (TSX:DH) ("D+H" or the
"Company"), a leading provider of technology solutions to domestic and
global financial institutions, today reported its financial results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
"Our results for the third quarter were in line with our expectations
and we are pleased with the operational progress in all of our business
segments, demonstrating the strength of our solutions," said D+H Chief
Executive Officer Gerrard Schmid. "During the quarter we saw continued
sales momentum in Global Transaction Banking Solutions and strong sales
results in our Lending & Integrated Core segment, which along with a
major contract win in our Collateral Management Solutions with the auto
finance division of a large Canadian bank, are building positive
organic growth and future revenues. Also in the third quarter, we
announced the global rebranding of our recent Fundtech acquisition as
Global Transaction Banking Solutions (GTBS) within D+H."

D+H Addresses Misleading Short Seller Report
The Company also announced that it has become aware of a report issued
by a hedge fund which the Company believes to be engaged in short
selling of its shares and which includes numerous assertions regarding
the Company's growth prospects and past performance, including that of
its GTBS Segment.
This report contains numerous inaccurate, unsubstantiated and misleading
statements, assertions and speculations. D+H recommends that investors
review its public filings as providing accurate information regarding
the Company and its performance, and not to rely on this report which
contains misrepresentations and which may have purposes other than
giving investors accurate information and impartial analysis. D+H
intends to vigorously defend itself against these false assertions and
self-interested attacks.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
On January 14, 2015, the Company announced the adoption of a Dividend
Reinvestment Plan which became effective in the first quarter of 2015.
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan participation rate for the third quarter
of 2015 was approximately 29% of outstanding D+H shares. The dividend
declared by D+H in the third quarter of 2015, as described in the
"Dividend" section of this press release below, will also be eligible
for the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
At this time, the Company intends to have these common shares issued
from treasury at a 4% discount to the weighted average trading price of
the common shares on the TSX during the five trading days immediately
preceding the dividend payment date. The 4% discount will remain in
effect for all cash dividends that may be declared, if any, by the
Company's Board of Directors until otherwise announced. To participate
in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, eligible shareholders should refer
to plan information on the D+H website at dh.com. Eligible
shareholders who have not previously registered must register on or
before December 17, 2015, the dividend record date, to participate in
the program for the dividend payable on December 31, 2015.

financial measures, including Adjusted revenues, EBITDA, EBITDA margin,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted
net income per share, and Debt to EBITDA ratio. See "Non-IFRS
financial measures and key performance indicators" in D+H's MD&A for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 for a more complete
description of these terms and for reconciliations to their most
directly comparable IFRS measures, where applicable. Any non-IFRS
financial measures should be considered in context with the IFRS
financial statement presentation and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for IFRS revenues, net income or cash
flows. Furthermore, D+H's financial measures may be calculated
differently from similarly titled financial measures of other
companies.
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains certain statements that constitute
forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities
laws ("forward-looking statements"). Statements concerning D+H's
objectives, goals, strategies, priorities, intentions, plans, beliefs,
expectations and estimates, and the business, operations, financial
performance and condition of D+H are forward-looking statements. The
words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "may",
"will", "would", "could", "should", "continue", "goal", "objective",
and similar expressions and the negative of such expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
Risks related to forward-looking statements include, among other things,
increased pricing pressures and competition which could lead to loss of
contracts or reduced margins; the Company's ability to deliver products
and services in line with the changes in the United States of America

repayments; as well as general market conditions, including economic,

looking statements also include the ability of the Corporation to
achieve the expected benefits of the acquisition of Fundtech, including
(i) further broadening and diversifying the Corporation's client base
and operational capabilities; (ii) accelerating the Corporation's
global expansion strategy with meaningful exposure to markets outside
North America; (iii) diversifying the Corporation's business in terms
of product offerings; (iv) broadening the Corporation's sources of
long-term recurring revenues; (v) benefits from an accretion and cash
flow perspective (each of which may be impacted by the realization and
timing of any potential synergies and the operating performance of the
Corporation and the GTBS segment); (vi) enhanced revenue generation
through cross-selling opportunities; and (vii) high free cash flow
conversion rate, which the Corporation expects will enable, along with
the Company's Canadian and Lending and Integrated Core operating cash
flows, deleveraging, support dividend payments and fund investment for
future growth.
