ST. LOUIS – January 29, 2014 – Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ: DOX) today reported that for its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013, revenue was $864.0 million, up 2.2% sequentially from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 and up 4.6% as compared to last year’s first fiscal quarter. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $122.6 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $119.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Non-GAAP net income excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition related costs and equity-based compensation expenses of $21.1 million, net of related tax effects, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and excludes such amortization and other acquisition related costs and equity-based compensation expenses of $20.4 million, net of related tax effects, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company’s GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $101.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $99.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year’s first quarter.

“We made a solid start to fiscal 2014, with total revenue, profitability and earnings per share consistent with our expectations. North America was strong as we supported our key customers, including AT&T, in their strategic initiatives as competition amongst carriers becomes increasingly fierce. In Europe, recent wins contributed to year-over-year growth in the region for the first time in five quarters. Finally, in the emerging markets, our first quarter results reflect normal fluctuations of delivery milestones on transformation projects; however, the long-term secular drivers remain favorable and we are strategically well placed to execute against the rich pipeline of opportunity we see ahead of us”, said Eli Gelman, chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Gelman continued, “During the first fiscal quarter, we extended our relationships with customers in Europe, including Telekom Austria for the implementation of a billing modernization project based on Amdocs Turbo Charging. Additionally, our customers continued to recognize the benefits of our managed services model to deliver innovative offerings to their customers in a more cost effective way. Along these lines, we strengthened our partnership with one of Asia Pacific’s leading Pay TV providers by signing a five-year, long-term service engagement. In Europe, we were selected by UK Mobile operator, EE, to deploy our MVNE solution under a managed service contract. We also on-boarded another affiliate of Vodafone Group to the global managed services agreement we signed in fiscal 2013.


Gelman said, “We are also encouraged by our strategic initiatives in radio network optimization. We completed the acquisition of Celcite on January 1, 2014 and the post-merger integration of Actix is underway. Both of these acquired companies secured new customer wins during the first quarter, and we anticipate additional success over the longer term as we realize the benefits and synergies of our integrated network software business under Amdocs.”

Gelman concluded, “We are closely monitoring the many uncertainties in the global business environment, including those resulting from announced and potential consolidation activity amongst North American operators. We currently expect to deliver full year total revenue growth of 5% to 8% in fiscal 2014. This is slightly ahead of our previous outlook as we factor in the timing of M&A deal closings and the performance of recently acquired assets. These include Actix, Celcite and a small IT services provider in Latin America that we acquired late in the first fiscal quarter. Our free cash flow generation remains robust and we remain confident in our ability to return cash to shareholders. Taking all these factors into consideration, we continue to expect non-GAAP earnings per share growth of 6-9% in fiscal 2014.”

Financial Discussion of First Fiscal Quarter Results

Free cash flow was $160 million for the quarter, comprised of cash flow from operations of $187 million less $27 million in net capital expenditures and other.

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 $2.89 billion at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Financial Outlook

Amdocs expects that revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 will be approximately $880-$910 million. Diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for the second fiscal quarter are expected to be $0.75-$0.81, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs and approximately $0.05-$0.06 per share of equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects. Amdocs estimates GAAP diluted earnings per share for the second fiscal quarter will be $0.61-$0.69.


Quarterly Cash Dividend Program

On January 29, 2014, the Board approved the Company’s next quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.155 and set March 31, 2014, as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the dividend, which is payable on April 17, 2014. The increased dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on January 30, 2014.

Conference Call Details

Amdocs will host a conference call on January 29, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Company’s first fiscal quarter results. The call will 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, non-GAAP cost of service, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP income taxes, 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;

 

    equity-based compensation expense; and

 

    tax effects related to the above.

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, non-GAAP cost of service, non-GAAP research


and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP income taxes, 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, equity-based compensation expense 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 service, research and development, selling, general and administrative, operating income, interest and other expense, 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.
