Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed below to our GAAP operating results are included at the end of this release. See also “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Revenue in the second quarter was $186.5 million, representing a 24.6% increase versus Q2 of last year and a 3.6% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the second quarter was $182.3 million, an increase of 26.9% year-over-year and 4.0% sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal second quarter grew 25.3% versus Q2 of last year and 3.0% sequentially. Year-over-year, fiscal Q2 revenue growth was driven by our acquisitions of HealthHelp and Denali, which closed in March 2017 and January 2017 respectively, healthy organic revenue growth across key verticals and services, and favorability from currency and hedging. Sequentially, revenue growth was the result of solid performance with both new and existing clients, and favorable currency movements net of hedging.

 

*  See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to our GAAP operating results at the end of this release.
  Includes 1,282 apprentices employed under the India government scheme, National Employability Enhancement Mission, pursuant to which apprentices undergo a three to 24 month apprenticeship to enhance their employability. There is no guarantee of employment with WNS following the completion of the apprenticeship. Our previously reported global headcount does not include apprentices.

Operating margin in the second quarter was 10.8%, as compared to 10.2% in Q2 of last year and 11.0% in the previous quarter. On a year-over-year basis, margin improvement was driven by a step-down in amortization of intangible asset expense, hedging gains net of currency movements, improved seat utilization, and increased operating leverage from higher volumes. These benefits more than offset headwinds from higher share-based compensation expense, the impact of our annual wage increases, and lower productivity. Sequentially, margins decreased due to higher share-based compensation expense. This headwind was largely offset by improved productivity, currency movements net of hedging, and higher Q2 volume.

Second quarter adjusted operating margin* was 18.5%, versus 19.8% in Q2 of last year and 17.1% last quarter. On a year-over-year basis, adjusted operating margin* reduced primarily due to the impact of our annual wage increases and lower productivity. These reductions were partially offset by hedging gains net of currency movements, improved seat utilization, and increased operating leverage from higher volumes. Sequentially, adjusted operating margin* increased as a result of improved productivity, currency movements net of hedging, and operating leverage on higher volumes.

Profit in the fiscal second quarter was $18.9 million, as compared to $12.6 million in Q2 of last year and $16.7 million in the previous quarter. Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q2 was $27.7 million, up $5.7 million as compared to Q2 of last year and up $4.1 million from the previous quarter. In addition to the explanations discussed above, fiscal second quarter profit and adjusted net income* increased by $1.7 million sequentially as a result of a non-recurring tax benefit in Q2 resulting from a corporate legal entity restructuring.

From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q2 with $183.8 million in cash and investments and $103.0 million of debt. In the second quarter, the company generated $44.0 million in cash from operations, and had $11.5 million in capital expenditures. WNS repurchased 879,539 ADSs, impacting cash by $30.0 million dollars, and made scheduled debt payments of $14.1 million. Days sales outstanding were 30 days, the same as reported in Q2 of last year and in the previous quarter.

“WNS continues to perform well in a healthy business environment, posting revenue less repair payments* in fiscal Q2 of $182.3 million. Growth was once again broad-based across key verticals and services, and represents a year-over-year constant currency* increase of more than 25%,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’s Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that the company has positioned itself well in the BPM space, with a strategy centered on deep domain expertise and complemented by strong capabilities in the areas of automation, analytics, and end-to-end digital solutions. WNS continues to receive positive feedback on our approach from clients, prospects, and influencers, and we remain focused on delivering enhanced business value for all of our key stakeholders.”

Fiscal 2018 Guidance

WNS is updating guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 as follows:

 

    Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $705 million and $727 million, up from $578.4 million in fiscal 2017. This assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.31 for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

 

    ANI* is expected to range between $101 million and $108 million versus $92.2 million in fiscal 2017. This assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 65.0 for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

 

    Based on a diluted share count of 52.3 million shares, the company expects adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS to be in the range of $1.93 to $2.06 versus $1.74 in fiscal 2017.

“The company has updated our forecast for fiscal 2018 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Sanjay Puria, WNS’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our revised guidance for the year reflects growth in revenue less repair payments* of 22% to 26%, or 21% to 24% on a constant currency* basis. We currently have 98% visibility to the midpoint of the range.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information in this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe more accurately reflect our core operating performance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to our GAAP operating results are included below. A more detailed discussion of our GAAP results is contained in “Part I – Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on June 29, 2017.

For financial statement reporting purposes, WNS has two reportable segments: WNS Global BPM and WNS Auto Claims BPM. Revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a) revenue less (b) in the auto claims business, payments to repair centers for “fault” repair cases where WNS acts as the principal in its dealings with the third party repair centers and its clients. WNS believes that revenue less repair payments for “fault” repairs reflects more accurately the value addition of the business process management services that it directly provides to its clients. For more details, please see the discussion in “Part I – Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on June 29, 2017.

Constant currency revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure. We present constant currency revenue less repair payments so that revenue less repair payments may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance. Constant currency revenue less repair payments is presented by recalculating prior period’s revenue less repair payments denominated in currencies other than in US dollars using the foreign exchange rate used for the latest period, without taking into account the impact of hedging gains/losses. Our non-US dollar denominated revenues include, but are not limited to, revenues denominated in pound sterling, South African rand, Australian dollar and Euro.

WNS also presents (1) adjusted operating margin, which refers to adjusted operating profit (calculated as operating profit / (loss) excluding share-based expense and amortization of intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, and (2) ANI, which is calculated as profit excluding share-based expense and amortization of intangible assets and including the tax effect thereon, and other non-GAAP financial measures included in this release as supplemental measures of its performance. WNS presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they assist investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are non-recurring in nature and those it believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, it uses these non-GAAP financial measures (i) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’s financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue, profit and earnings per ADS without unreasonable efforts for a number of reasons, including our inability to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the payments to repair centers, our future share-based compensation expense under IFRS 2 (Share Based payments), amortization of intangibles associated with future acquisitions and currency fluctuations. As a result, any attempt to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking GAAP financial measures (revenue, profit, earnings per ADS) to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (revenue less repair payments* and constant currency revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that we do not believe is reasonable.

(1)  The company applies GAAP methodologies in computing the tax impact on its non-GAAP ANI adjustments (including amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expense). The company’s non-GAAP tax expense is generally higher than its GAAP tax expense if the income subject to taxes is higher considering the effect of the items excluded from GAAP profit to arrive at non-GAAP profit.
