ST. LOUIS, Aug. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) today reported operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

“Our strong third quarter performance reflects the strategic initiatives we have executed this year to accelerate Amdocs’ long-term growth. Revenue was up 9.4% from a year ago on a pro forma⁽²⁾ constant currency⁽³⁾ basis and was led by a growing scope of activities as our customers accelerate multi-year investments focused around 5G modernization and the cloud. At the operating level, profitability remained above the high-end of our target range as we balanced operational excellence with accelerated R&D investments, and we generated robust free cash flow of which we returned a majority to shareholders through share repurchases and our quarterly dividend program,” said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer continued, “During Q3, we strengthened our European footprint as our customers’ progressed digital modernization initiatives to support improved customer experience, better operating efficiency and multiplay convergence strategies. We entered into a multi-year managed transformation agreement with Three UK, a subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings, that expands the two companies’ collaboration in the business-to-business domain to the consumer sector to provide subscribers with next-generation digital experiences and 5G services. Additionally, Vodafone Group selected Amdocs to provide next-generation inventory and OSS capabilities to support mobile, fixed and cable offerings in Germany, Romania, and Czech Republic, and we expanded our agreement with Vodafone Spain to modernize its CRM systems in readiness for 5G and the cloud era.”

Sheffer concluded, “We enter the fourth fiscal quarter with record 12-month backlog on a pro forma ⁽²⁾ basis, up 10.8% from a year ago. Additionally, we expect to sustain strong sales momentum by monetizing our market-leading offerings which we believe are well-aligned with our customer’s needs for digital modernization, 5G, cloud migration, and next-generation OSS platforms. Overall, we are raising our outlook for earnings per share growth in fiscal 2021 and we remain on track to deliver full year revenue growth acceleration on a proforma basis.”

Revenue

Revenue for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $1,066 million, which was up $17 million as reported from the second fiscal quarter of 2021. Revenue was up 3.9% as reported and up 1.9% in constant currency⁽³⁾ as compared to last year’s third fiscal quarter. On a pro forma basis in constant currency⁽³⁾, revenue was up 9.4% compared to last year. Revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2021 includes a positive impact from foreign currency movements of approximately $3 million relative to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Revenue was above the midpoint of Amdocs’ guidance, and included positive impact from foreign currency movements of approximately $5 million compared to our guidance assumptions. Revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2021 includes record managed services revenue of $651 million, up 7.6% as compared to last year’s third fiscal quarter and equivalent to approximately 61% of total revenue.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

The Company's GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $146.2 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $120.4 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year’s third quarter. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $173.3 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $143.2 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Non-GAAP net income excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisitions related liabilities measured at fair value, equity-based compensation expenses, and other, net of related tax effects, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as well as in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Full Year Fiscal 2021 Outlook

Our fourth fiscal quarter 2021 and full year fiscal 2021 outlook takes into consideration the Company’s current expectations regarding macro and industry specific risks and various uncertainties and certain assumptions that we will discuss on our earnings conference call. However, we note that market dynamics continue to shift rapidly and we cannot predict all possible outcomes, including those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created, and continues 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 and normalized free cash flow, revenue on a constant currency⁽³⁾ 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 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;
• non-recurring and unusual charges or benefits (such as a gain from divestiture of OpenMarket);
• 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. Normalized free cash flow, a measure of our operating performance, is further adjusted to exclude net capital expenditures related to the new campus development, payments for non-recurring and unusual charges (such as capital gains tax in relation to the divestiture of OpenMarket), and payments of acquisition related liabilities. 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 and normalized free cash flow, 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 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, non-recurring 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.
