WNS Holdings has reported its fiscal 2025 third quarter results with revenue of $333.0 million, showing a 2.1% year-over-year increase. The company's profit reached $48.6 million, up from $41.5 million in Q3 last year, with diluted earnings per share of $1.07.

Revenue less repair payments was $319.1 million, up 1.0% year-over-year. Growth was driven by new client additions and existing relationship expansions, but faced headwinds from the loss of a large Healthcare client and reduced online travel volumes. The company added 7 new clients and expanded 52 existing relationships.

WNS has revised its fiscal 2025 guidance, now expecting revenue less repair payments between $1,255-$1,271 million, representing a -2% to -1% change from fiscal 2024. Adjusted Net Income is projected to be between $205-$209 million, with adjusted diluted earnings per share forecasted at $4.46-$4.55.

WNS Holdings ha riportato i risultati del terzo trimestre fiscale 2025 con ricavi di 333,0 milioni di dollari, mostrando un aumento del 2,1% rispetto all’anno precedente. Il profitto dell'azienda ha raggiunto 48,6 milioni di dollari, in crescita rispetto ai 41,5 milioni di dollari del terzo trimestre dell'anno scorso, con un utile per azione diluito di 1,07 dollari.

Il fatturato al netto dei pagamenti per riparazioni è stato di 319,1 milioni di dollari, in aumento dell'1,0% rispetto all’anno precedente. La crescita è stata guidata dall'acquisizione di nuovi clienti e dall'espansione di relazioni esistenti, ma ha affrontato difficoltà a causa della perdita di un importante cliente nel settore sanitario e della riduzione dei volumi di viaggio online. L'azienda ha acquisito 7 nuovi clienti e ampliato 52 relazioni esistenti.

WNS ha rivisto le sue previsioni fiscali per il 2025, ora aspettandosi ricavi al netto dei pagamenti per riparazioni compresi tra 1.255-1.271 milioni di dollari, rappresentando un cambiamento dal -2% al -1% rispetto al 2024 fiscale. Si prevede che il reddito netto rettificato sia compreso tra 205-209 milioni di dollari, con un utile per azione diluito rettificato previsto tra 4,46-4,55 dollari.

WNS Holdings ha informado sus resultados del tercer trimestre fiscal 2025 con ingresos de 333,0 millones de dólares, mostrando un aumento del 2,1% interanual. Las ganancias de la compañía alcanzaron 48,6 millones de dólares, en comparación con los 41,5 millones de dólares en el tercer trimestre del año pasado, con ganancias diluidas por acción de 1,07 dólares.

Los ingresos menos los pagos por reparaciones fueron de 319,1 millones de dólares, un aumento del 1,0% interanual. El crecimiento fue impulsado por nuevas incorporaciones de clientes y expansiones de relaciones existentes, pero se enfrentó a desafíos por la pérdida de un importante cliente en el sector de la salud y la reducción de los volúmenes de viajes en línea. La compañía agregó 7 nuevos clientes y expandió 52 relaciones existentes.

WNS ha revisado su guía fiscal para 2025, ahora esperando ingresos menos pagos por reparaciones entre 1.255-1.271 millones de dólares, lo que representa un cambio del -2% al -1% respecto al fiscal 2024. Se proyecta que el ingreso neto ajustado esté entre 205-209 millones de dólares, con ganancias diluidas por acción ajustadas proyectadas entre 4,46-4,55 dólares.

WNS Holdings 는 2025 회계연도 3분기 실적을 발표했으며, 수익은 3억 3,300만 달러로 전년 대비 2.1% 증가했습니다. 회사의 이익은 4,860만 달러에 달하며, 지난해 3분기 4,150만 달러에서 증가했으며, 희석된 주당순이익은 1.07달러입니다.

수익에서 수리 비용을 제외한 수익은 3억 1,910만 달러로 전년 대비 1.0% 증가했습니다. 성장은 새로운 고객 유치 및 기존 관계 확장에 의해 주도되었으나, 대형 의료 고객의 손실과 온라인 여행량 감소로 인해 어려움이 있었습니다. 회사는 7명의 신규 고객을 추가하고 52개의 기존 관계를 확장했습니다.

WNS는 2025 회계연도 가이던스를 수정하였으며, 현재 수리 비용을 제외한 수익이 12억 5,500만~12억 7,100만 달러가 될 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 이는 2024 회계연도 대비 -2%에서 -1%의 변동을 나타냅니다. 조정된 순이익은 2억 5,000만~2억 6,000만 달러로 예상되며, 조정된 희석 주당순이익은 4.46~4.55달러로 예상됩니다.

WNS Holdings a publié ses résultats du troisième trimestre fiscal 2025, avec un chiffre d'affaires de 333,0 millions de dollars, affichant une augmentation de 2,1 % par rapport à l’année précédente. Le bénéfice de l'entreprise a atteint 48,6 millions de dollars, contre 41,5 millions de dollars au troisième trimestre de l'année dernière, avec un bénéfice dilué par action de 1,07 dollar.

Le chiffre d'affaires, après déduction des paiements de réparations, a été de 319,1 millions de dollars, en hausse de 1,0 % par rapport à l’année précédente. La croissance a été principalement due à l'ajout de nouveaux clients et à l'expansion de relations existantes, mais a été freinée par la perte d'un important client du secteur de la santé et la réduction des volumes de voyage en ligne. L'entreprise a ajouté 7 nouveaux clients et élargi 52 relations existantes.

WNS a révisé ses prévisions fiscales pour 2025, s'attendant désormais à des revenus sans les paiements de réparation compris entre 1.255-1.271 millions de dollars, représentant un changement de -2 % à -1 % par rapport à l'exercice 2024. Le revenu net ajusté est prévu entre 205-209 millions de dollars, avec un bénéfice dilué par action ajusté prévu entre 4,46-4,55 dollars.

WNS Holdings hat die Ergebnisse des dritten Quartals 2025 bekannt gegeben, mit einem Umsatz von 333,0 Millionen USD, was einem Anstieg von 2,1 % im Vergleich zum Vorjahr entspricht. Der Gewinn des Unternehmens erreichte 48,6 Millionen USD, ein Anstieg von 41,5 Millionen USD im dritten Quartal des Vorjahres, mit einem verwässerten Gewinn pro Aktie von 1,07 USD.

Der Umsatz abzüglich Reparaturzahlungen belief sich auf 319,1 Millionen USD, was einem Anstieg von 1,0 % im Vergleich zum Vorjahr entspricht. Das Wachstum wurde durch die Akquise neuer Kunden und die Erweiterung bestehender Beziehungen vorangetrieben, sah sich jedoch Herausforderungen durch den Verlust eines großen Kunden im Gesundheitswesen und die sinkenden Online-Reisevolumina gegenüber. Das Unternehmen gewann 7 neue Kunden und erweiterte 52 bestehende Beziehungen.

WNS hat seine Prognose für das Geschäftsjahr 2025 überarbeitet und erwartet nun Einnahmen abzüglich Reparaturzahlungen in einer Spanne von 1.255-1.271 Millionen USD, was einem Rückgang von -2% bis -1% im Vergleich zum Geschäftsjahr 2024 entspricht. Das bereinigte Nettoergebnis wird zwischen 205-209 Millionen USD prognostiziert, während der bereinigte verwässerte Gewinn pro Aktie auf 4,46-4,55 USD geschätzt wird.

Negative
  • Loss of a large Healthcare client impacting revenue

  • Reduction in discretionary project work

Insights

WNS's Q3 FY2025 results present a complex picture of resilience amid headwinds. Revenue grew 2.1% YoY to $333.0 million, while GAAP profit increased to $48.6 million from $41.5 million last year. However, the adjusted metrics reveal underlying pressures - ANI declined to $47.0 million from $58.5 million YoY.

Several key operational metrics deserve attention:

  • Impressive client metrics with 7 new additions and 52 relationship expansions, demonstrating strong market position
  • Exceptional working capital management with DSO at 34 days (down from 38 days QoQ)
  • Robust cash generation of $88.7 million from operations
  • Healthy deleveraging with $58.4 million debt repayment

The revised guidance indicates near-term challenges, with revenue growth expected to be slightly negative for FY2025. This reflects ongoing pressures from:

  • Loss of a major healthcare client
  • Reduced volumes in online travel
  • Pullback in discretionary project spending

However, WNS's strategic positioning remains strong. The company's focus on domain-led process automation and GenAI investments should support long-term competitiveness. The healthy pipeline of large transformational deals could potentially accelerate growth in coming quarters.

The balance sheet remains solid with $231.5 million in cash/investments versus $199.6 million in debt. This financial flexibility, combined with strong cash generation, positions WNS well to navigate current headwinds while investing in growth initiatives.

NEW YORK & LONDON & MUMBAI, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WNS (Holdings) Limited (WNS) (NYSE: WNS), a digital-led business transformation and services partner, today announced results for the fiscal 2025 third quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Highlights – Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter:

GAAP Financials

  • Revenue of $333.0 million, up 2.1% from $326.2 million in Q3 of last year and up 3.2% from $322.6 million last quarter
  • Profit of $48.6 million, compared to $41.5 million in Q3 of last year and $41.8 million last quarter
  • Diluted earnings per share of $1.07, compared to $0.85 in Q3 of last year and $0.92 last quarter

Non-GAAP Financial Measures*

  • Revenue less repair payments of $319.1 million, up 1.0% from $315.9 million in Q3 of last year and up 2.7% from $310.7 million last quarter
  • Adjusted Net Income (ANI) of $47.0 million, compared to $58.5 million in Q3 of last year and $51.5 million last quarter
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.04, compared to $1.19 in Q3 of last year and $1.13 last quarter

Other Metrics

  • Added 7 new clients in the quarter, expanded 52 existing relationships
  • Days sales outstanding (DSO) at 34 days
  • Global headcount of 63,390 as of December 31, 2024

As announced previously, beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2025, WNS transitioned from reporting to the SEC on the forms available to foreign private issuers and preparing its financial statements in accordance with IFRS to voluntarily reporting on US domestic issuer forms and preparing its financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. On July 9, 2024, WNS furnished a report on Form 8-K with the SEC containing a supplementary financial information package comprising its unaudited quarterly financial results for each of the quarters in fiscal 2024 and for full year fiscal 2024 and 2023 prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The supplementary financial information package sets forth the key impact on our quarterly financial statements for each of the quarters in fiscal 2024 and for full year fiscal 2024 and 2023 as a result of our transition to US GAAP. The comparative financial information in this release for the previous fiscal periods are also under US GAAP.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed below to our GAAP operating results are included at the end of this release. See also “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Revenue in the third quarter was $333.0 million, representing a 2.1% increase versus Q3 of last year and an increase of 3.2% from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the third quarter was $319.1 million, increasing 1.0% year-over-year and 2.7% sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal third quarter was flat versus Q3 of last year and up 3.2% sequentially. Year-over-year, Q3 revenue growth driven by new client additions, the expansions of existing relationships, and favorable currency movements more than offset headwinds from the loss of a large Healthcare client, lower volumes in the online travel segment, and reductions in discretionary project work. Sequentially, broad-based revenue growth was partially offset by online travel volume reductions and unfavorable currency movements.

Profit in the fiscal third quarter was $48.6 million, as compared to $41.5 million in Q3 of last year and $41.8 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, profit increased as a result of a $13.7 million reversal of contingent consideration relating to our acquisition of The Smart Cube, reductions in share-based compensation and amortization of intangibles, and favorable currency movements. These benefits were partially offset by $9.5 million of non-recurring tax benefits in Q3 of fiscal 2024 and higher net interest expense. Sequentially, Q3 profit increased as a result of a net increase in contingent consideration reversals, higher revenue, and operating margin expansion. These benefits were partially offset by a one-time tax benefit in Q2 from the reversal of a deferred tax liability on intangibles.

Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q3 was $47.0 million, as compared to $58.5 million in Q3 of last year and $51.5 million in the previous quarter. Explanations for the ANI* movements on a year-over-year and sequential basis are the same as described for GAAP profit above with the exception of amortization of intangible expenses, share-based compensation expense, impairment of intangible assets, costs associated with ADS program termination and transition to voluntarily reporting on US domestic issuer forms, acquisition-related items, and associated tax impacts which are excluded from ANI*.

From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q3 with $231.5 million in cash and investments and $199.6 million in debt. In the quarter, the company generated $88.7 million in cash from operations, incurred $12.1 million in capital expenditures, and repaid $58.4 million in debt. Third quarter days sales outstanding were 34 days, as compared to 35 days reported in Q3 of last year and 38 days in the previous quarter.

“In the fiscal third quarter, WNS was able to re-accelerate sequential revenue growth, expand adjusted operating margin, and generate strong cash flow. Top line growth was driven by broad-based demand for domain-led process automation and cost reduction, including new logo additions and the expansion of existing client relationships,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’ Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to make solid progress moving large transformational opportunities through the pipeline, and are focused on closing these large deals to help accelerate revenue growth. In addition, WNS remains committed to our ongoing investments in domain expertise, data and analytics, and technology-enabled offerings leveraging AI and GenAI to ensure our ability to deliver long-term sustainable value to all of our stakeholders.”

Fiscal 2025 Guidance

WNS is updating guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, as follows:

  • Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $1,255 million and $1,271 million, as compared to $1,284.3 million in fiscal 2024. Guidance assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.25 for the remainder of fiscal 2025.
  • ANI* is expected to range between $205 million and $209 million versus $218.0 million in fiscal 2024. Guidance assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 85.5 for the remainder of fiscal 2025.
  • Based on a diluted share count of 45.9 million shares, the company expects fiscal 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share* to be in the range of $4.46 to $4.55 versus $4.42 in fiscal 2024.

“The company has updated our forecast for fiscal 2025 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Arijit Sen, WNS’ Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the full year reflects revenue less repair payments* of -2% to -1% on a reported* basis, and -3% to -1% on a constant currency* basis as compared to fiscal 2024. ANI guidance includes a one-time benefit in Q4 of $12.2 million relating to a facility asset sale in India. For the year, we currently expect capital expenditures to be up to $60 million.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information in this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe more accurately reflect our core operating performance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to our GAAP operating results are included below. A more detailed discussion of our GAAP results is contained in “Part I –Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024.

Revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a) revenue less (b) in our BFSI segment, payments to repair centers for “fault” repair cases where WNS acts as the principal in its dealings with the third party repair centers and its clients. WNS believes that revenue less repair payments for “fault” repairs reflects more accurately the value addition of the business process management services that it directly provides to its clients. For more details, please see the discussion in “Part I – Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024.

Constant currency revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure. We present constant currency revenue less repair payments so that revenue less repair payments may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance. Constant currency revenue less repair payments is presented by recalculating prior period’s revenue less repair payments denominated in currencies other than in US dollars using the foreign exchange rate used for the latest period, without taking into account the impact of hedging gains/losses. Our non-US dollar denominated revenues include, but are not limited to, revenues denominated in pound sterling, South African rand, Australian dollar and Euro.

WNS also presents or discusses (1) adjusted operating margin, which refers to adjusted operating profit (calculated as operating profit / (loss) excluding goodwill & intangible impairment, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits, costs related to the exchange of ADSs to ordinary shares, costs related to change to US GAAP reporting and voluntarily filing on US domestic issuer forms with SEC and amortization of intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, (2) ANI, which is calculated as profit excluding goodwill & intangible impairment, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits, costs related to the termination of ADS program and listing of ordinary shares, costs related to the transition to voluntarily reporting on US domestic issuer forms and amortization of intangible assets and including the tax effect thereon, (3) Adjusted net income margin, which refers to ANI as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, and other non-GAAP financial measures included in this release as supplemental measures of its performance.

Acquisition-related expenses or benefits consists of transaction costs, integration expenses, employment-linked earn-out as part of deferred consideration and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration including the impact of present value thereon. WNS presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they assist investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are non-recurring in nature and those it believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, it uses these non-GAAP financial measures (i) to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and (ii) (with certain adjustments) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation. WNS is excluding acquisition-related expenses as described above with effect from fiscal 2023 second quarter.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’ financial results prepared in accordance with US-GAAP.

The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue, profit and earnings per share without unreasonable efforts for a number of reasons, including our inability to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the payments to repair centers, our future share-based compensation expense under US-GAAP (Share Based payments), amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related expenses or benefits associated with future acquisitions, goodwill impairment and currency fluctuations. As a result, any attempt to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking GAAP financial measures (revenue, profit, earnings per share) to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted earnings per share*, respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that we do not believe is reasonable.

(1) Acquisition related expenses / (benefits) includes reversal of contingent consideration related to acquisition of OptiBuy in September 2024 and Smart Cube in December 2024.

 

(2) The company applies GAAP methodologies in computing the tax impact on its non-GAAP ANI adjustments (including amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses and share-based compensation expense). The company’s non-GAAP tax expense is generally higher than its GAAP tax expense if the income subject to taxes is higher considering the effect of the items excluded from GAAP profit to arrive at non-GAAP profit.
