St. Louis, MO - January 18, 2006 - Amdocs Limited (NYSE: DOX) today reported
that for the first quarter ended December 31, 2005, revenue was $587.0 million,
an increase of 25.0% from last year's first quarter. Excluding
acquisition-related costs and equity-based
compensation expense, net of related tax effects, of $14.7 million, net income
was $90.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to net income, excluding
$3.0 million of acquisition-related costs net of related tax effects, of $72.4
million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The
Company's net income was $75.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to
net income of $69.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2005. Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations less net
capital expenditures and principal payments on capital leases, was $69.3 million
in the quarter.
Dov Baharav, Chief Executive Officer of Amdocs Management Limited, said, "We
continue to execute according to plan as shown by our very good financial
performance and the new business we signed during the quarter. Many of this
quarter's sales highlight the fact that service providers are looking for an
integrated, best-of-suite offering that allows them to leverage their existing
investments with Amdocs as they expand their system capabilities in order to
cope with consolidation and industry convergence. Service providers are also
looking for solutions to support rapid introduction of new, IP-based and bundled
services, while reducing total cost of ownership. Our leading product offering
combined with our track record of delivery in complex projects makes us the
vendor of choice as we demonstrated with our nine significant new wins this
quarter."
"We expect that the continuation of the industry dynamics that contributed to
our success in 2005 will also drive our performance in 2006. We are the leading
provider to our market and our unique ability to address these needs combined
with our top-tier customer base gives us confidence that 2006 will be an
exceptional year for Amdocs," continued Baharav.
The Amdocs wins in the first quarter span lines of business and geographies.
They include an expansion of Amdocs activities at a major North American
wireless carrier as this carrier consolidates systems across markets. In Europe,
Amdocs will support an existing customer as this customer expands its
MVNO-related activities. In the directory business, Amdocs is building on its
long-term relationships with AT&T and BellSouth to help YELLOWPAGES.COM
efficiently manage customer data and digital content, as well as to automate all
online advertising workflow activities. The Company is also in the initial
stages of a large project to provide software and managed services to a wireless
customer in Europe.
On January 17, 2006, Sprint Nextel announced that it has reached a preliminary
agreement with Amdocs to provide a single platform to support Sprint Nextel's
more than 46 million wireless subscribers. Said Baharav, "We are delighted that
Sprint Nextel has reconfirmed Amdocs as a strategic partner and we look forward
to a long and mutually rewarding relationship with Sprint Nextel."
In the first quarter of fiscal 2006 Amdocs adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment, which requires
the expensing of equity-based compensation. Equity-based compensation expense
was $9.7 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the first quarter.
Financial Outlook
Amdocs expects that revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 ending March
31, 2006, will be approximately $600 million. Diluted earnings per share for the
quarter are expected to be $0.42, excluding acquisition-related costs, net of
related tax effects, and the impact of approximately $0.04-$0.05 per share of
equity-based compensation expense. Diluted GAAP EPS is expected to be
approximately $0.35-$0.36.
Updated fiscal 2006 guidance: Expected revenue of approximately $2.42-$2.47
billion and diluted EPS of $1.68-$1.72, excluding acquisition-related costs, net
of related tax effects, and approximately $0.16-$0.19 per share of equity-based
compensation expense. Diluted GAAP EPS is expected to be approximately
$1.40-$1.47.
