JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, today reported operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

"We delivered solid Q3 results, highlighted by accelerated profitability gains and record revenue, in line with the midpoint of our guidance after currency adjustments. Sales momentum was healthy as we focused on delivering value in our strategic domains of cloud, digital modernization, 5G and fiber monetization, network automation and Generative AI. Notably, customer demand for Amdocs' cloud solutions remains especially strong, highlighted by the significant 5-year cloud deal we previously announced with AT&T, as well as newly signed agreements to support the cloud migration journeys of TELUS in Canada and Vodafone Ziggo in Netherlands. I am also happy to announce that a leading global operator has chosen to integrate Amdocs' Gen AI, telco-specific amAIz platform in its business operations. I believe this important award in partnership with NVIDIA demonstrates our commitment to innovation and the unique role Amdocs can play as one of the leading Gen AI technology enablers in the telecommunications industry today," said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

"The ongoing implementation of automation, AI and Gen AI, and other sophisticated tools continues to drive cost and efficiency benefits across our business, the cumulative effects of which translated to accelerated profitability gains in Q3. Our managed services offering is resonating in the market, highlighted by record quarterly revenue in Q3 and significant multi-year agreements to support the cloud migration journeys of AT&T, Telus and Vodafone Ziggo. Demonstrating our confidence in Amdocs' unique business model, and the future success of the company, we also increased our pace of buyback activity in Q3, repurchasing approximately $169 million of Amdocs shares," said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer & chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer concluded, "We continue to see a healthy pipeline of opportunities within our strategic growth domains, and our market win rate remains high as we leverage our pedigree for innovation and technology, market-leading portfolio, best-in-class execution and highly talented people. Nonetheless, we continue to operate in a challenging industry demand environment which is yet to improve. We are reiterating the midpoint of our constant currency⁽¹⁾ revenue growth expectations in fiscal 2024, which includes another year of double-digit growth in cloud. Moreover, our profitability gains are on-track with our targets, and we are positioned to deliver double-digit expected total shareholder returns⁽³⁾ for the fourth year running."

However, we note that market dynamics continue to shift rapidly and we cannot predict all possible outcomes, including those resulting from certain geopolitical events, the current inflationary environment, global or regional events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the prevailing level of macro-economic, business and operational uncertainty, which have created, and continue to create, a significant amount of uncertainty, or from current and potential customer consolidation or their other strategic corporate activities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ basis, 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, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth. These other 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;

• restructuring and unusual charges or benefits;

• 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. 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⁽²⁾, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ basis, 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, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited 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, restructuring and unusual charges or benefits, 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.
