ST. LOUIS, Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) today reported operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

“Our fiscal Q3 was our first full quarter operating under the global conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering which I am proud of the company’s performance. Revenue exceeded the midpoint of our guidance and included healthy year-over-year growth in North America and another record quarter in managed services. Our operating execution was especially noteworthy this quarter as we delivered a significant number of live deployments, maintained stable profitability and generated robust free cash flow. Additionally, the pace of deal signings accelerated during Q3 and included an agreement to support Bell Canada’s cloud-native strategy, an enterprise digital transformation project in the Philippines and our first-ever modernization award at Three UK,” said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer continued, “As part of our strategy to accelerate the pace of taking the communications industry to the cloud, we recently announced an agreement to acquire Openet, a leading provider of 5G charging, policy and cloud technologies whose customers include several of the world’s top 10 largest service providers. Openet’s technologies naturally complement our own portfolio of 5G solutions, the combination of which will greatly strengthen our leading technology position in the market. Moreover, we are excited by the opportunity to bring Openet to our global customer base of more than 350 service providers, helping them to further succeed in the wave of 5G advancements around cloud, edge compute, IoT and new customer experiences. Overall, we believe Openet represents the right acquisition at the right time in the industry and we look forward to welcoming their innovative team of software professionals to Amdocs upon closing later in Q4.”

Sheffer concluded, “Our 12-month backlog increased quarter-on-quarter and year-over-year in Q3. This supports a stronger fourth quarter revenue outlook than we previously forecasted, the midpoint of which includes the resumption of growth on a sequential basis. We are on-track to generate normalized free cash flow of $500 million in fiscal 2020, which is slightly better than the original guidance we provided at the beginning of the year. Moreover, we see an attractive and increasing pipeline of opportunity ahead, which we believe can sustain future long-term growth as we leverage our market-leading product offerings, track-record of execution, and pedigree for innovation. To add a final important point, I would like to recognize our global base of talented employees to whom we are thankful for the extraordinary professionalism and commitment they have shown during the global pandemic.”

Revenue

Revenue for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $1,026 million, down $22 million sequentially from the second fiscal quarter of 2020 and up 0.1% as reported and 1.0% in constant currency as compared to last year’s third fiscal quarter. Revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2020 includes a negative impact from foreign currency movements of approximately $3 million relative to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Revenue was above the midpoint of Amdocs’ guidance, also after adjusting for the positive impact of approximately $5 million of foreign currency movements relative to guidance.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

The Company's GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was $120.4 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $131.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year’s third quarter. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $143.2 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $163.1 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. 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 2020 and in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. 

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 August 5, 2020, the Board approved the Company’s next quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.3275 per share and set September 30, 2020 as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the dividend, which will be payable on October 23, 2020.
• Share Repurchase Activity: Repurchased $60 million of ordinary shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

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 $3.48 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, up $20 million from the end of the prior quarter and up 2.4% as compared to last year’s third fiscal quarter.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Outlook

• Revenue of approximately $1,015-$1,055 million, assuming approximately $4 million sequential positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Fourth quarter fiscal 2020 guidance does not incorporate revenue from the announced acquisition of Openet as the transaction has not yet closed
• GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $0.95-$1.03. The impact of the announced acquisition of Openet on GAAP diluted EPS will not be known until after Amdocs completes the purchase price allocation
• Non-GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $1.16-$1.22, 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 announced acquisition of Openet on Amdocs’ non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be neutral in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020

Full Year Fiscal 2020 Outlook

• Revenue growth of 1.1%-2.1% year-over-year on a reported basis as compared with (0.5%) -2.5% year-over-year previously
• Revenue growth of 1.6%-2.6% year-over-year on a constant currency basis as compared with 0.5%-3.5% year-over-year previously
• Full year fiscal 2020 revenue guidance incorporates just over 1% of growth from the acquisition of TTS Wireless, and a negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations of approximately 0.5% as compared with an 1% negative impact year-over-year previously, but does not incorporate revenue from the announced acquisition of Openet as the transaction has not yet closed
• GAAP diluted earnings per share growth of roughly 5.0%-7.5% year-over-year as compared with 4.0%-10.0% year-over-year previously. The impact of the announced acquisition of Openet 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 1.6%-3.0% year-over-year as compared with 0.0%-4.0% year-over-year previously, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisitions related liabilities measured at fair value, and approximately $0.25-$0.27 per share of equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects. The impact of the announced acquisition of Openet on Amdocs’ non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be neutral in the full fiscal years 2020 and 2021, and accretive thereafter
• Expects free cash flow of approximately $420 million as compared with $400 million previously disclosed, comprised of cash flow from operations, less net capital expenditures and other
• Reiterates normalized free cash flow of approximately $500 million; normalized free cash flow excludes capital expenditure of up to $70 million related to the new campus development in Israel, and other items, as compared with capital expenditure of up to $90 million previously disclosed

Our fourth fiscal quarter 2020 and full year fiscal 2020 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, Amdocs notes market dynamics continue to shift rapidly and that it cannot predict all possible outcomes, including those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created a significant amount of uncertainty, and from T-Mobile’s recently completed merger with Sprint, or from other current and potential customer consolidation activity.

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. 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 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. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Selected Financial Metrics from GAAP to Non-GAAP tables below.
