ST. LOUIS, Nov. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) today reported operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

“We are pleased to report a strong finish to our fiscal year 2019. Q4 revenue was in line with the midpoint of our guidance on a constant currency basis and was driven by stable trends in North America, solid year-over-year growth in Rest of World and our best quarter in more than a decade in Europe. Profitability was stable and cash collections were healthy as we met key milestones relating to our customer project activity. As such, we exceeded our fiscal 2019 target for normalized free cash flow of $600 million and delivered full year non-GAAP earnings per share growth of 6.9%, which is consistent with the high end of the original guidance range of 3% to 7% that we provided last November,” said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer continued, “Today, we are excited to announce a multi-year agreement that extends our collaboration with AT&T to modernize and upgrade AT&T’s digital business support systems, as 5G and the cloud will lead to new business and consumer applications. In addition to customer experience and digital enablement programs, our alliance with AT&T will be expanded to include activities in strategic areas such as data analytics and security. We are very proud of our deep relationship spanning many decades with AT&T and we look forward to strengthening this relationship as the communications and media industry continues to innovate at an unprecedented pace.”

Sheffer concluded, “We begin fiscal 2020 with record 12-month backlog, which is up roughly 4% from a year ago, and we have further improved our strong visibility in the first quarter with the signing of a large IT transformation project at Vodafone Germany. Overall, we expect to deliver full year non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth of 3.0% to 7.0% in fiscal 2020. Moreover, we plan to further enhance the total return we provide to shareholders by raising our quarterly dividend for the seventh consecutive year, subject to shareholders approval at the annual meeting in January 2020”.

Revenue

Revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $1,030 million, up $5 million sequentially from the third fiscal quarter of 2019 and up 2.8% as reported and 3.6% in constant currency as compared to last year’s fourth fiscal quarter. Revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019 includes a negative impact from foreign currency movements of approximately $3 million relative to the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Revenue was at the midpoint of Amdocs’ guidance, adjusting for the negative impact of approximately $5 million of foreign currency movements relative to guidance.

Revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, was $4.1 billion, up 2.8% from the last fiscal year and within Amdocs’ guidance range for growth of 2.4% to 3.4% year-over-year as reported. Adjusting for the negative impact of foreign currency movements, revenue was up 4.1% from the last fiscal year and within Amdocs’ guidance range for growth of 3.6% to 4.6% year-over-year.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

The Company's GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was $122.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $44.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year’s fourth quarter. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $147.1 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $140.2 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. 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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, and 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 non-recurring charges, net of related tax effects, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

The Company's GAAP net income in fiscal 2019 was $479.4 million, or $3.47 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $354.4 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018. Fiscal 2019 net income on a non-GAAP basis was $595.1 million, or $4.31 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $579.6 million, or $4.03 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018.

For further details of reconciliation of selected financial metrics from GAAP to Non-GAAP, please refer to the tables below.

Returning Cash to Shareholders

  • Quarterly Cash Dividend Program: On November 12, 2019, the Board approved the Company’s next quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.285 per share and set December 31, 2019 as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the dividend, which will be payable on January 24, 2020. The Board also approved a 15% increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend payment to $0.3275 per share, which is anticipated to be first paid in April 2020, provided that the increase is approved by shareholders at the January 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders.
  • Share Repurchase Activity: Repurchased $90 million of ordinary shares during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The board of directors has approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to $800 million of ordinary shares at the company’s discretion; this plan has no expiration date and is in addition to the current authorization, which, as of September 30, 2019, provided for up to $239 million of remaining repurchase authority.

Twelve-month Backlog
Twelve-month backlog, which includes anticipated revenue related to contracts, estimated revenue from managed services contracts, letters of intent, maintenance and estimated on-going support activities, was $3.49 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, up $90 million from the end of the prior quarter.

First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Outlook

  • Revenue of approximately $1,015-$1,055 million, assuming approximately $1 million sequential negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, including a full quarter revenue contribution from the acquisition of TTS Wireless which closed in early August
  • GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $0.79-$0.87. The impact of the acquisition of TTS Wireless on GAAP diluted EPS will not be known until after Amdocs completes the purchase price allocation
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $1.02-$1.08, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisitions related liabilities measured at fair value, and approximately $0.06-$0.08 per share of equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects. The impact of the acquisition of TTS Wireless on Amdocs’ non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be neutral in the first quarter of fiscal 2020

Full Year Fiscal 2020 Outlook

  • Revenue growth of 1.5%-5.5% year-over-year as reported
  • Revenue growth of 2.0%-6.0% year-over-year on a constant currency basis
  • Full year fiscal 2020 revenue guidance incorporates just over 1% of growth from the acquisition of TTS Wireless, and an expected negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations of about 0.5% year-over-year
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share growth of roughly 5.0%-12.0% year-over-year. The impact of the acquisition of TTS Wireless on GAAP diluted EPS will not be known until after Amdocs completes the purchase price allocation
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth of roughly 3.0%-7.0% year-over-year, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisitions related liabilities measured at fair value, and approximately $0.24-$0.32 per share of equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects. The impact of the acquisition of TTS Wireless on Amdocs’ non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be neutral in fiscal year 2020
  • Free cash flow of approximately $350 million, comprised of cash flow from operations, less net capital expenditures and other, and normalized free cash flow of approximately $480 million

Our first fiscal quarter 2020 and full year fiscal 2020 outlook takes into consideration the Company’s expectations regarding macro and industry specific risks and various uncertainties and certain assumptions that we will discuss on our earnings conference call. However, Amdocs notes market dynamics continue to shift rapidly and that it cannot predict all possible outcomes, including those resulting from T-Mobile’s proposed merger with Sprint, or from other current and potential customer consolidation activity.

Conference Call Details
Amdocs will host a conference call on November 12, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 results. To participate, please dial +1 (844) 513-7152, or +1 (508) 637-5600 outside the United States, approximately 15 minutes before the call and enter passcode 7084814. The call will also be carried live on the Internet via the Amdocs website, www.amdocs.com.

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, 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 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;
  • 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, and normalized free cash flow is adjusted to exclude net capital expenditures related to the new campus development, payments for previously expensed restructuring charges, payments for legal dispute settlement, 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, 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.
