Insights

Financial Analyst

The incremental growth in quarterly revenue and the 12-month backlog for Amdocs Limited presents a stable outlook for the company. A modest growth in revenue indicates that Amdocs is consistently adding to its earnings, albeit at a slower pace than might be desired by aggressive investors. The updated fiscal 2024 outlook, with expected revenue growth and GAAP diluted EPS growth, points towards a moderate optimism. However, a revision in the full-year EPS guidance could indicate some internal adjustments or market challenges. The share repurchase activity aligns with a strategy to enhance shareholder value and could be seen as a positive sign of management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value. Retail investors should consider these factors in the context of their investment horizons and risk appetite.

Market Research Analyst

The strategic moves by Amdocs, including cloud migration, 5G monetization and network automation, are in line with current industry trends towards digital transformation. The company's ability to secure a significant 5-year deal with AT&T and the expansion in the international market, demonstrate competitive strength and the potential for long-term customer retention. The company’s focus on innovation and partnerships with industry leaders like Nvidia, Microsoft and AWS indicates a forward-thinking approach. However, the moderate pace of the expected revenue growth suggests that the company might be facing stiff competition or market saturation in certain segments. Retail investors should assess how these strategic initiatives align with emerging market demands and the potential for Amdocs to capitalize on these trends.

Tech Industry Expert

Amdocs’ investment in Gen AI development engagements shows a commitment to keeping up with advanced technological trends. Collaborations with Nvidia, Microsoft and AWS enhance the company’s technological capabilities, offering a potential edge in developing cutting-edge solutions for cloud and digital services. This, combined with record revenue and a focus on operational excellence, positions Amdocs favorably in the tech solutions domain, particularly for communications and media companies. Stakeholders should consider how such technological advancements could influence the company's market position and drive future growth, taking note that such innovation also requires substantial investment and carries execution risk.

JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2024 / Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, today reported operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

"I am pleased to report solid results for the second fiscal quarter, including record revenue, improved profitability, and healthy sales momentum as we delivered the market-leading innovation our customers need to support cloud migration, 5G monetization, digital modernization, and network automation. During Q2, we strengthened our relationships at several North American operators, and expanded our international footprint with several major network and digital modernizations wins, including Colt in the UK, a large Southeast Asian operator, and J:COM in Japan. I am very happy to report that we just signed a significant 5-year deal at AT&T, which expands our activities in the cloud domain, as well as extends our engagement with AT&T in the consumer domain," said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

"Second quarter operating profitability improved significantly on a sequential and year-over-year basis, reflecting our long-term commitment to operational excellence and the ongoing adoption of automation, artificial intelligence, and other sophisticated tools to drive internal efficiency. Among other highlights, we expanded our long-standing managed services relationship with Rogers in Canada to support its recent merger with Shaw under an extended multi-year agreement, and we expanded and extended our multi-year partnership with a major Southeast Asian service provider to include full cloud managed services and operations," said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer & chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer concluded, "We continue to operate within a challenging environment of macro uncertainty and industry pressure. As the preferred technology partner for modernization, we continue to see healthy market demand for Amdocs' innovative products and services around our strategic pillars, supporting double-digit revenue growth in cloud. I am also encouraged by our progress advancing multiple Gen AI development engagements in collaboration with key partners such as Nvidia, Microsoft and AWS, and several flagship customers. Looking to the fiscal second half, we expect sequential revenue growth based on our record 12-month backlog and an attractive pipeline of opportunities, albeit at a more moderate rate than we initially anticipated. Altogether, we now expect constant currency⁽¹⁾ revenue growth of 1.7% to 3.7% year-over-year in fiscal 2024. Moreover, our accelerated profitability improvement is tracking in line with our initial targets, and we are positioned to deliver double-digit expected total shareholder returns⁽³⁾ for the fourth year running."

However, we note that market dynamics continue to shift rapidly and we cannot predict all possible outcomes, including those resulting from certain geopolitical events (including the recent attacks in Israel and evolving conflict), the current inflationary environment, global or regional events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the prevailing level of macro-economic, business and operational uncertainty, which have created, and continue to create, a significant amount of uncertainty, or from current and potential customer consolidation or their other strategic corporate activities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth. These other non-GAAP measures exclude the following items:

• amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs;
• changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value;
• restructuring and unusual charges or benefits;
• equity-based compensation expense;
• other; and
• tax effects related to the above.

Free cash flow equals cash generated by operating activities less net capital expenditures and other. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Amdocs believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Amdocs' results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Amdocs' results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Amdocs believes that the presentation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other financial measures, including free cash flow⁽²⁾, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the net amount of cash generated by its business operations after taking into account capital spending required to maintain or expand the business.

For its internal budgeting process and in monitoring the results of the business, Amdocs' management uses financial statements that do not include amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value, restructuring and unusual charges or benefits, equity-based compensation expense, other and related tax effects. Amdocs' management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Amdocs. In addition, Amdocs believes that significant groups of investors exclude these items in reviewing its results and those of its competitors, because the amounts of the items between companies can vary greatly depending on the assumptions used by an individual company in determining the amounts of the items.

Amdocs further believes that, where the adjustments used in calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are based on specific, identified amounts that impact different line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income (including cost of revenue, research and development, selling, general and administrative, operating income, interest and other expenses, net, income taxes and net income), it is useful to investors to understand how these specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income are affected by these adjustments. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Selected Financial Metrics from GAAP to Non-GAAP tables below.

Amdocs' ability to grow in the business markets that it serves, Amdocs' ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, adverse effects of market competition, rapid technological shifts that may render the Company's products and services obsolete, potential loss of a major customer, our ability to develop long-term relationships with our customers, our ability to successfully and effectively implement artificial intelligence and Generative AI in the Company's offerings and operations, and risks associated with operating businesses in the international market.
