ST. LOUIS, Aug. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) today reported operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

“We are pleased to report solid Q3 results which included record revenue, stable profitability, healthy free cash flow and our best-ever quarter in managed services. Among the Q3 regional highlights, we announced today that Amdocs is enabling the operation of Comcast’s Xfinity Mobile service under a multi-year managed services agreement, and have been chosen by Charter to support the growth of its Spectrum Mobile business. Over in Europe, we signed an additional multi-year managed services agreement with Sky Italia to support its move into fixed broadband and won a new deal to provide our Amdocs NFV solution for SES, a leading global satellite provider. Meanwhile in Rest of World, we extended our managed service arrangement with Vodafone Idea in India for several more years and signed a significant managed transformation agreement with XL Axiata in Indonesia to automate and digitize their operations,” said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive -officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer continued, “Highlighting our commitment to be the leading independent provider of network services for 5G and the new generation of open cloud networks, we are today excited to announce the acquisition of TTS Wireless. With its field-proven 5G network planning and optimization experience, we believe TTS Wireless will immediately expand our customer footprint at leading American operators. Additionally, we believe TTS Wireless’ highly-skilled network engineering team will enhance Amdocs’ Open 5G portfolio, helping us to execute on our strategy of providing an end-to-end 5G solution that can accelerate and simplify the deployment and monetization of open and smart 5G networks for our customers.

Sheffer concluded, “We are pleased with our operational and financial execution for the fiscal year to date, and we enter our fourth quarter with strong sales momentum as we continue to bring the innovative solutions that our customers need to modernize, automate and digitize their business. Taking everything into consideration, we are on-track to meet our full year targets for constant currency revenue growth and normalized free cash flow. Moreover, we now expect to deliver diluted non-GAAP earnings per share growth in the range of 6.2% to 7.8% for the full fiscal year 2019, the midpoint of which represents an increase of approximately 50 basis points over our previous guidance.”

Revenue

Revenue for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $1,025 million, up $5 million sequentially from the second fiscal quarter of 2019 and up 2.2% as reported and 3.4% in constant currency as compared to last year’s third fiscal quarter. Revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2019 includes a negative impact from foreign currency movements of approximately $3 million relative to the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Revenue was slightly above the midpoint of Amdocs’ guidance, adjusting for the negative impact of approximately $1 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 2019 was $131.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $91.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year’s third quarter. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $163.1 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $147.5 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, in the third 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, other, net of related tax effects, 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 7, 2019, the Board approved the Company’s next quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.285 per share and set September 30, 2019 as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the dividend, which will be payable on October 25, 2019.
• Share Repurchase Activity: Repurchased $89 million of ordinary shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

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 $3.40 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019, up $10 million from the end of the prior quarter.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2019 Outlook

• Revenue of approximately $1,015-$1,055 million, assuming approximately $2 million sequential positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019, and a partial quarter revenue contribution from the acquisition of TTS Wireless which closed earlier this week
• GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $0.81-$0.89. 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 $1.04-$1.10, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisitions related liabilities measured at fair value, and approximately $0.05-$0.07 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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2019

Full Year Fiscal 2019 Outlook

• Expects revenue growth of 2.4%-3.4% year-over-year as reported compared with 1.8%-3.8% year-over-year previously
• Expects revenue growth of 3.6%-4.6% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, the midpoint of which is slightly higher compared with 3.0%-5.0% year-over-year previously
• Full year fiscal 2019 revenue guidance incorporates an expected negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations of about 1.2% year-over-year, consistent with our previous expectation
• Expects GAAP diluted earnings per share growth of roughly 37.0%-41.0% year-over-year compared with 33.0%-41.0% year-over-year previously. The impact of the acquisition of TTS Wireless on GAAP diluted EPS will not be known until after Amdocs completes the purchase price allocation
• Expects non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth of roughly 6.2%-7.8% year-over-year compared with 4.5%-8.5% 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, approximately $0.24-$0.26 per share of equity-based compensation expense and other, 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 2019, and neutral in the first full year after closing thereafter
• Reiterates free cash flow guidance of approximately $500 million, comprised of cash flow from operations, less net capital expenditures and other, and normalized free cash flow of approximately $600 million

Our fourth fiscal quarter 2019 and full year fiscal 2019 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.

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