JERSEY CITY, NJ November 12, 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 September 30, 2024.
Fiscal 2024 was another important year in our journey as we continued to serve many of the worlds largest communication service providers with the innovation they need to accelerate their journey to the cloud, enhance customer experience, monetize next generation networks, and to digitalize and automate their mission critical operations. We delivered strong double-digit growth in cloud, achieved a record year in managed services, and accelerated our profitability, all within the backdrop of a challenging industry demand environment. The year closed with strong sales momentum which included a significant award to deploy our next-gen monetization platform for a major US customer, and new cloud migration deals with Vodafone Italy and NTT Infranet in Japan. Additionally, we have continued to enhance our generative AI platform, amAIz, with new capabilities that leverage NVIDIA AI to deliver immersive customer experiences with real-time interaction and visualization, said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.
Consistent with our full year guidance, we delivered accelerated profitability improvement in fiscal 2024 as we focused on operational excellence and the benefits of automation and artificial intelligence to drive internal efficiency. We continue to invest in our strategic priorities, while at the same time optimizing the portfolio of products, services, and business activities. Thus, in fiscal 2025, we are phasing out several low-margin, non-core business activities that are becoming commoditized and hold little potential for long-term value addition or profitability enhancement. We believe these actions will reinforce our level of business visibility, including a higher share of revenue from long-term managed services engagements. This move is also expected to sharpen our focus on higher-margin strategic priorities like cloud, monetization platforms and Gen AI where we are well placed to lead the communications industry through our commitment to innovation, said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer & chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.
Sheffer concluded, We enter fiscal 2025 as an industry leader with a unique competitive position, strong 12-month backlog visibility, and a high win rate. Moreover, we believe Amdocs is well positioned to monetize a healthy pipeline of market opportunities while navigating a continuously challenging demand environment. Adjusting for the phase out of several low-margin, non-core business activities, we expect pro forma(2) revenue growth of between 1% to 4.5% in constant currency(1) in fiscal 2025, as well as another year of double-digit growth in cloud. We also anticipate significantly higher operating profitability and robust earnings to cash conversion, underpinning the delivery of double-digit expected total shareholder returns(3) for the fifth consecutive year, including our dividend yield.

The forward looking statements regarding our first fiscal quarter 2025 and full year fiscal 2025 guidance take into consideration the Companys current expectations regarding macro and industry specific risks and various uncertainties and certain assumptions that we will discuss on our earnings conference call. 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, 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(5), 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.

Exhibit 99.2 Amdocs Limited NASDAQ: DOX Fiscal Q4 2024 Earnings Presentation November 12, 2024 Shuky Sheffer President & CEO Tamar Rapaport-Dagim CFO & COO
The information contained herein in this presentation or delivered or to be delivered to you during this presentation does not constitute an offer, expressed or implied, or a recommendation to do any transaction in Amdocs Limited securities or in any securities of its affiliates or subsidiaries. This presentation and the comments made by members of Amdocs management in conjunction with it can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website, and, as always, a copy of today’s prepared remarks will also be posted immediately following the conclusion of this call. This presentation includes information that constitutes forward- looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about Amdocs’ growth and business results in future quarters and years. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be obtained or that any deviations will not be material. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause future results to differ from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to, the effects of general macroeconomic conditions, prevailing level of macroeconomic, business and operational uncertainty, including as a result of geopolitical events or other regional events, as well as the current inflationary environment, and the effects of these conditions on the Company’s customers’ businesses and levels of business activity, including the effect of the current economic uncertainty and industry pressure on the spending decisions of the Company’s customers. Amdocs’ ability to grow in the business markets that it serves, Amdocs’ ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, adverse effects of market competition, rapid technological shifts that may render the Company’s products and services obsolete, potential loss of a major customer, our ability to develop long-term relationships with our customers, our ability to successfully and effectively implement artificial intelligence and Generative AI in the Company’s offerings and operations, and risks associated with operating businesses in the international market. Amdocs may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future; however, Amdocs specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These and other risks are discussed at greater length in Amdocs’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, filed on December 13, 2023, and our Form 6-K furnished for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 on February 20, 2024, the second quarter of fiscal 2024 on May 20, 2024, and for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 on August 19, 2024. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited, and non-GAAP earnings per share. Free cash flow equals cash generated by operating activities less net capital expenditures and other. While in prior years Amdocs used 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 non-recurring and unusual charges (such as capital gains tax to be paid in relation to the divestiture of OpenMarket), and payments of acquisition related liabilities, Amdocs is no longer reporting normalized free cash flow. Normalized free cash flow is not comparable to free cash flow. 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. Please refer to the appendix for a reconciliation of these metrics to the most comparable GAAP provision. This presentation also includes pro forma metrics which exclude the financial impact of OpenMarket (divested on December 31, 2020) from fiscal year 2021. Please also review the information contained in Amdocs’ press release dated November 12, 2024 with respect to earnings for fiscal Q4 2024. The press release contains additional information regarding Amdocs’ outlook for fiscal year 2025 and certain non-GAAP metrics and their reconciliations.
