WNS Announces Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Earnings,

Revises Full Year Guidance

NEW YORK, LONDON, MUMBAI; January 18, 2024 — WNS (Holdings) Limited (WNS) (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, today announced results for the fiscal 2024 third quarter ended December 31, 2023.

 

 

Highlights – Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter:

 

GAAP Financials

•  Revenue of $326.2 million, up 6.3% from $306.9 million in Q3 of last year and down 2.3% from $333.9 million last quarter

•  Profit of $39.6 million, compared to $34.7 million in Q3 of last year and $57.8 million last quarter

•  Diluted earnings per share of $0.81, compared to $0.69 in Q3 of last year and $1.16 last quarter

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures* 

•  Revenue less repair payments of $315.9 million, up 7.8% from $292.9 million in Q3 of last year and down 2.8% from $325.0 million last quarter

•  Adjusted Net Income (ANI) of $58.2 million, compared to $50.6 million in Q3 of last year and $54.1 million last quarter

•  Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.18, compared to $1.01 in Q3 of last year and $1.09 last quarter

 

Other Metrics

•  Added 8 new clients in the quarter, expanded 32 existing relationships

•  Days sales outstanding (DSO) at 35 days

•  Global headcount of 60,652 as of December 31, 2023

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 third quarter was $326.2 million, representing a 6.3% increase versus Q3 of last year and a 2.3% decrease from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the third quarter was $315.9 million, an increase of 7.8% year-over-year and 2.8% decline sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal third quarter was up 5.9% versus Q3 of last year and down 2.3% sequentially. Year-over-year, Q3 revenue improved as a result of new client additions, the expansion of existing relationships, fiscal 2023 acquisitions, and favorable currency movements. These benefits were partially offset by the ramp-down of a large HealthCare process, the offshore delivery transition of a large internet client, and volume reductions with certain clients. Sequentially, headwinds from the offshore delivery transition of a large internet client, volume reductions with certain clients, and unfavorable currency movements more than offset growth driven by demand for cost-reduction focused initiatives.

Profit in the fiscal third quarter was $39.6 million, as compared to $34.7 million in Q3 of last year and $57.8 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, profit increased as a result of revenue growth, improved productivity, a one-time tax benefit of $9.5 million resulting from the reversal of a deferred tax liability on intangibles, and favorable impacts from currency movements. These benefits were partially offset by increases in wages, return-to-office costs, amortization of intangibles, and net interest expense. Sequentially, Q3 profit decreased as a result of Q2 benefits received from the reversal of a provision for contingent acquisition consideration, higher SG&A expenses driven by Q2 provision reversals for performance incentives and bad debt, and lower revenue. These headwinds were partially offset by the $9.5 million one-time tax benefit and lower net interest expense.

Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q3 was $58.2 million, as compared to $50.6 million in Q3 of last year and $54.1 million in the previous quarter. Explanations for the ANI* movements on a year-over-year and sequential basis are the same as described for GAAP profit above with the exception of amortization of intangible expenses, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related items, and associated tax impacts which are excluded from ANI*.

From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q3 with $260.4 million in cash and investments and $177.4 million in debt. In Q3, the company generated $73.7 million in cash from operations, incurred $10.3 million in capital expenditures, and repaid $20.2 million in debt. WNS also repurchased 1,000,000 ADSs at an average price of $58.13, impacting Q3 cash by $58.1 million. Third quarter days sales outstanding were 35 days, as compared to 34 days reported in Q3 of last year and 35 days in the previous quarter.

“In the fiscal third quarter, WNS’ grew our year-over-year constant currency revenue less repair payments* by 6% and expanded adjusted diluted earnings per share* by 18%,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’ Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the weak macro, the company continues to expect solid financial performance in fiscal 2024 with the midpoint of our guidance reflecting double-digit top line* growth and industry-leading adjusted operating margin*. WNS is aggressively investing for the future and is making steady progress in our ability to design, build, and run solutions leveraging cutting-edge technologies including AI and Generative AI. We remain committed to driving strong operational and financial execution, and generating long-term, sustainable business value for all of our stakeholders.”

WNS Adds New York, London Global Headquarters

WNS formally announced today that the company has added global headquarters locations in both New York and London. The addition of these headquarters to the Mumbai location supports the company’s decentralization of senior leadership and decision-making as highlighted by our organizational structure change announced in April, 2023. These new headquarters also reflect the evolution of the company over the past 25 years including the geographic diversification of the company’s revenue mix and delivery footprint.

Fiscal 2024 Guidance

WNS is updating guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, as follows:

 

   

Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $1,270 million and $1,292 million, up from $1,162.0 million in fiscal 2023. Guidance assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.27 for the remainder of fiscal 2024.

 

   

ANI* is expected to range between $212 million and $218 million versus $196.1 million in fiscal 2023. Guidance assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 83.3 for the remainder of fiscal 2024.

 

   

Based on a diluted share count of 49.6 million shares, the company expects fiscal 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share* to be in the range of $4.27 to $4.39 versus $3.86 in fiscal 2023.

“The company has updated our forecast for fiscal 2024 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Sanjay Puria, WNS’ Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the full year reflects growth in revenue less repair payments* of 9% to 11% on both a reported* and constant currency* basis. The guidance includes expected healthy demand for core process automation and cost-reduction based solutions, and ongoing softness in transaction volumes from certain clients and discretionary project-based revenues. We currently have over 99% visibility to the midpoint of the revenue range. For the year, we continue to expect capital expenditures of up to $60 million.”

WNS Board Approves ADS to Share Exchange, Reporting Change

The WNS Board has granted approval for the company to move forward with plans to terminate its ADS program, exchange outstanding ADSs for its ordinary shares, and apply for the ordinary shares to be listed on the NYSE. WNS intends to complete this exercise prior to the end of fiscal Q1’25. In addition, the Board has granted approval for the company to shift from reporting on the forms available to foreign private issuers (FPIs) and filing our financial statements with the SEC under IFRS to voluntarily file on US domestic issuer forms and file our financial statements under US GAAP. WNS intends to complete this change prior to the end of fiscal Q2’25. The company believes these actions are in the long-term best interest of all WNS stakeholders and will improve the company’s ability to compete for capital, reduce share price volatility, and enhance governance.

WNS will host a conference call on January 18, 2024, at 8:00 am (Eastern) to discuss the company’s quarterly results.

WNS Segment Reporting

Effective April 1, 2023, WNS has adopted a new organizational structure featuring four strategic business units (“SBUs”), each headed by a chief business officer (“CBO”). Under the new organizational structure, WNS has combined our existing verticals into the four SBUs (as set out below). The new organizational structure is expected to help drive improved outcomes for our global clients and enable our company to better drive business synergies, enhance scalability, generate operating leverage, and create organizational depth. To align with this new structure, WNS has changed our segments for financial statement reporting purposes. Reportable segments are as follows:

1. TSLU (comprising of Travel, Shipping/Logistics and Utilities verticals)

2. MRHP (comprising of Manufacturing/Retail/Consumer, Hi-tech/Professional Services and Procurement verticals)

3. HCLS (comprising of Healthcare vertical, which we have renamed as our Healthcare/Life Sciences vertical)

4. BFSI (comprising of Banking/Financial Services and Insurance verticals)

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 May 16, 2023.

Revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a) revenue less (b) in our BFSI segment, 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 May 16, 2023.

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 or discusses (1) adjusted operating margin, which refers to adjusted operating profit (calculated as operating profit / (loss) excluding goodwill impairment, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits and amortization of intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, (2) ANI, which is calculated as profit excluding goodwill impairment, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits and amortization of intangible assets and including the tax effect thereon, (3) Adjusted net income margin, which refers to ANI as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, (4) net cash, which refers to cash and cash equivalents plus investments less long-term debt (including the current portion and short term) and other non-GAAP financial measures included in this release as supplemental measures of its performance. Acquisition-related expenses or benefits consists of transaction costs, integration expenses, employment-linked earn-out as part of deferred consideration and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration including the impact of present value thereon. 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) to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and (ii) (with certain adjustments) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation. WNS is excluding acquisition-related expenses as described above with effect from fiscal 2023 second quarter.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’ financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue, profit and earnings per share 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 and acquisition-related expenses or benefits associated with future acquisitions, goodwill impairment and currency fluctuations. As a result, any attempt to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking GAAP financial measures (revenue, profit, earnings per share) to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted earnings per share*, respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that we do not believe is reasonable.

Acquisition related expenses / (benefits) includes reversal of contingent consideration related to acquisition of Vuram.

 

(2) 

The company applies GAAP methodologies in computing the tax impact on its non-GAAP ANI adjustments (including amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses 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.
