Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported decrease in revenue by 4.7% and the organic revenue decline of 4.5% for DXC Technology indicates a contraction in the company's business activities. However, the increase in net income from $61 million to $140 million, representing a growth from 1.7% to 4.1% as a percentage of sales, is a positive indicator of improved profitability. This could be attributed to the company's effective cost management and gains from asset sales. The book-to-bill ratio below 1x for both the quarter and the trailing twelve months suggests a potential future revenue decline as bookings lag behind revenues.

The share buyback program, resulting in a 5.8% reduction of shares outstanding for the quarter and over 30% in the past three years, is a strategic move to enhance shareholder value. However, it's important to monitor if these repurchases are at the expense of necessary capital investments which could impact long-term growth. The free cash flow of $585 million is robust, providing the company with liquidity to fund operations, strategic initiatives, or return capital to shareholders.

The downward revision of full-year guidance, particularly in organic revenue growth and adjusted EBIT margin, may concern investors about the company's growth prospects and operational efficiency. It's crucial to assess whether these revised projections are due to external market conditions or company-specific challenges.

Market Research Analyst

DXC Technology's performance in the Global Business Services (GBS) and Global Infrastructure Services (GIS) segments provides insights into the company's market positioning. The slight organic growth in GBS suggests resilience in Analytics & Engineering and Insurance offerings, which could indicate a competitive edge in these areas. Conversely, the decline in GIS revenue, particularly in Cloud Infrastructure & ITO and Modern Workplace, may reflect market saturation or a lag in adapting to evolving customer needs.

The segment profit margins show a mixed picture, with GBS experiencing a decline, which may be due to increased competition or investment in growth initiatives, while GIS marginally improved, potentially through cost optimization. The book-to-bill ratios for both segments, especially the lower 0.73x in GIS, should be closely watched as they could signal future revenue performance and market demand.

Understanding the dynamics of the offerings, such as the steady performance in Applications and slight decreases in Cloud Infrastructure & ITO, is essential for stakeholders to gauge the company's adaptability to technological trends and customer preferences.

Economist

The foreign exchange impact on revenues and the mention of the pension income benefit indicate that macroeconomic factors, such as currency fluctuations, play a role in the company's financial performance. The guidance provided includes assumptions on exchange rates, which suggests that DXC's international operations are exposed to currency risks. The company's ability to manage these risks could have significant implications for its profitability and competitive position in the global market.

The capital allocation strategy, particularly the emphasis on share buybacks and maintaining free cash flow guidance, reflects a balance between returning value to shareholders and preserving financial flexibility. In the context of a global economy that may face headwinds from inflation and interest rate adjustments, the company's financial discipline and cash flow generation will be critical for sustaining operations and pursuing growth opportunities.

• Revenues of $3.40 billion, down 4.7% as compared to prior year, and down 4.5% on an organic basis
• Diluted earnings per share was $0.81 vs. $0.25 in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.87 vs. $0.95 in the prior year quarter
• Q3 FY24 operating cash flow of $706 million, less capital expenditures of $121 million, results in $585 million of free cash flow
• Book-to-bill ratio of 0.99x and trailing twelve-month book-to-bill of 0.93x
• Returned $252 million to shareholders through share buyback in Q3 FY24, reducing DXC shares outstanding by 5.8%. In the past three years, DXC has repurchased over 30% of its outstanding shares

Financial Highlights - Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024

Revenue was $3.40 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, down 4.7% as compared to prior year period, and down 4.5% on an organic basis. Third quarter organic revenue growth came in at the midpoint of DXC's guidance range.

Net income was $140 million, or 4.1% of sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to $61 million, or 1.7% of sales, in the prior year quarter. Net income was higher due to increased gains on the sale of businesses, lower depreciation and amortization and lower restructuring costs. EBIT was $234 million or 6.9% of sales. Net income and EBIT in the quarter included the following items: amortization of acquired intangible assets of $88 million, restructuring costs of $36 million, net gains on dispositions of $104 million, merger related indemnification charges of $2 million, and transaction, separation, and integration costs of $2 million. Excluding these items, adjusted EBIT was $258 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 7.6% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, above the Company’s guidance range. Adjusted EBIT was $51 million below the prior year quarter, mainly driven by $18 million lower non-cash pension income, $9 million expense related to executive separation costs, and lower gains on asset sales of $14 million ($14 million gain on asset sales in Q3 FY24 vs. $28 million in Q3 FY23).

Diluted earnings per share was $0.81 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.87 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 11 million shares of common stock for a total of $252 million. DXC has retired over 30% of its shares outstanding since the start of fiscal year 2022.

DXC does not provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures that it discusses as part of its guidance because certain significant information required for such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts or at all, including, most notably, the impact of significant non-recurring items.

(including its successors and permitted assigns, “Perspecta”), which was acquired by Peraton in May 2021 For a written description of these factors, see the section titled “Risk Factors” in DXC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and any updating information in subsequent SEC filings, including DXC’s upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2023.

No assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in any forward-looking statement can or will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements which speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statement or to report any events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by law.

About Non-GAAP Measures

In an effort to provide investors with supplemental financial information, in addition to the preliminary and unaudited financial information presented on a GAAP basis, we have also disclosed in this press release preliminary non-GAAP information including: earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), EBIT margin, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, non-GAAP diluted EPS, organic revenues, organic revenue growth, free cash flow, and non-GAAP tax rate.

We believe EBIT, EBIT margin, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, and non-GAAP diluted EPS provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance after excluding certain categories of expenses.

One category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, and non-GAAP diluted EPS, incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, may result in a significant difference in period over period amortization expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude amortization of certain acquired intangible assets as these non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although DXC management excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets primarily customer-related intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and support revenue generation. Any future transactions may result in a change to the acquired intangible asset balances and associated amortization expense.

Another category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, and non-GAAP diluted EPS, impairment losses, may result in a significant difference in period-over-period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts, reflect generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and are not expected to occur frequently. Further assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management’s control.

We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars and the effects of acquisitions and divestitures in the periods presented. See below for a description of the methodology we use to present organic revenues.

Selected references are made to revenue growth on an “organic basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during all periods presented. Organic revenue growth is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in GAAP revenues attributed to organic growth by the GAAP revenues reported in the prior comparable period. Organic revenue is calculated as constant currency revenue excluding the impact of mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions until the one-year anniversary of the transaction and excluding revenues of divestitures during the reporting period. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

Free cash flow represents cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is utilized by our management, investors, and analysts to evaluate cash available to pay debt, repurchase shares, and provide further investment in the business.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies.

Segment Profit

We define segment profit as segment revenues less costs of services, segment selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and other income (excluding the movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges). The Company does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses managed at the corporate level. These unallocated costs generally include certain corporate function costs, stock-based compensation expense, pension and other post-retirement benefits (“OPEB”) actuarial and settlement gains and losses, restructuring costs, transaction, separation and integration-related costs, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP adjustments include:

• Restructuring costs – includes costs, net of reversals, related to workforce and real estate optimization and other similar charges.
• Transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs – includes costs related to integration, separation, planning, financing and advisory fees and other similar charges associated with mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures, and dispositions and other similar transactions incurred within one year of such transactions closing, except for costs associated with related disputes, which may arise more than one year after closing.
• Amortization of acquired intangible assets – includes amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations.
• Pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses – pension and OPEB actuarial mark to market adjustments and settlement gains and losses.
• Merger related indemnification - in fiscal 2024, primarily represents the Company’s current estimate of potential liability to HPE for a tax related indemnification; and in fiscal 2023, represents the Company’s then current estimate of potential liability to HPE for indemnification on the Forsyth v. HP Inc. and HPE litigation, and the Company’s final liability to HPE on the Oracle v. HPE litigation. These obligations are related to the HPES merger.
• SEC Matter - represents the Company’s liability related to a previously disclosed investigation into its historical determination and disclosure of certain “transaction, separation, and integration-related costs” as part of the Company’s non-GAAP adjustments.
• Gains and losses on dispositions – gains and losses related to dispositions of businesses, strategic assets and interests in less than wholly-owned entities.⁽¹⁾
• Arbitration loss - reflects a loss arising from an arbitration decision in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
• Impairment losses – non-cash charges associated with the permanent reduction in the value of the Company’s assets (e.g., impairment of goodwill and other long-term assets including fixed assets and impairments to deferred tax assets for discrete changes in valuation allowances). Future discrete reversals of valuation allowances are likewise excluded.⁽²⁾
• Tax adjustments – discrete tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets, adjustments for changes in tax legislation and the impact of merger and divestitures. Income tax expense of all other (non-discrete) non-GAAP adjustments is based on the difference in the GAAP annual effective tax rate (AETR) and overall non-GAAP provision (consistent with the GAAP methodology).

	(1)		During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company sold insignificant businesses and a strategic investment and made adjustments to estimated amounts from prior years’ dispositions that resulted in a net gain of $132 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, the Company sold insignificant businesses that resulted in a net loss of $12 million.
	(2)		Impairment losses on dispositions for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 include $5 million of charges associated with certain strategic investments accounted for within Other income, net. Impairment losses on dispositions for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 included $4 million of Net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net of tax.
