Amdocs Reports Record Quarterly Revenue of $774 Million, Exceeding Guidance ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs Limited (NYSE: DOX) today reported that for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, revenue was $774.3 million, an increase of 9.6% from last year's second quarter. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $126.6 million, or $0.58 per diluted share (excluding acquisition-related costs, which include amortization of purchased intangible assets, and excluding equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, of $26.8 million), compared to non-GAAP net income of $114.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 (excluding acquisition-related costs, which include amortization of purchased intangible assets, in-process research and development write-off and other, and excluding restructuring charges and equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, of $27.3 million). The Company's GAAP net income was $99.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $87.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Free cash flow for the quarter was $63.1 million, comprised of cash flow from operations of $97.3 million less $34.2 million in net capital expenditures and other. "We are pleased to report that we have exceeded our plans for this quarter and for the first half of fiscal 2008," said Dov Baharav, chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited. "Our strong results are driven by an expansion of our managed services business and by expanding our implementations of mission-critical systems in both developed and emerging markets. We recognize that there is uncertainty in the market as economic conditions have become more challenging and we believe that our forecasts for the second half of this fiscal year take this into account. Our customers recognize that Amdocs systems including our new CES 7.5 offering can help them to increase revenue and reduce costs; the result for Amdocs is greater customer commitments and a strong pipeline of potential business. We continue to see demand for projects supporting new initiatives as well as from projects focused more on cost savings, including managed services opportunities, and we look forward to continued growth in the second half of fiscal 2008." In the second quarter Amdocs had numerous wins across lines of business and geographies. The Company continued to show progress in the operational support systems (OSS) area by winning a strategic deal with a large North American service provider. In Europe, Amdocs signed an important CRM deal with a large wireless carrier to help them improve their customer experience. The Company had several wins with wireless carriers including a consulting engagement to help a service provider introduce new, innovative offerings. Amdocs won several new deals in emerging markets based on the Amdocs Compact Convergence Suite. Amdocs is continuing to expand and strengthen its position in the broadband cable and satellite market with several wins and a recent acquisition. In addition to the wins noted above, a large broadband cable operator in North America has chosen Amdocs to provide self-service capabilities including an eBill presentment and payment solution. The Company also won service projects related to requirements scoping, which can be the initial phase of system transformation. Shortly after the end of the quarter, Amdocs announced the acquisition of Jacobs Rimell in order to expand its capabilities in OSS for broadband. Financial Outlook Amdocs expects that revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 will be approximately $790-$805 million. Diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter are expected to be $0.59-$0.61, excluding acquisition-related costs and approximately $0.06-$0.07 per share of equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects. Diluted GAAP EPS is expected to be approximately $0.45-$0.48, without taking into account potential purchase price adjustments relating to the acquisition of Jacobs Rimell in April 2008. Updated fiscal 2008 guidance: Expected revenue of approximately $3.09-$3.15 billion and diluted non-GAAP EPS of $2.31-$2.37, excluding acquisition-related costs and approximately $0.21-$0.24 per share of equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects. Diluted GAAP EPS is expected to be approximately $1.81-$1.90, without taking into account potential purchase price adjustments relating to the acquisition of Jacobs Rimell in April 2008. Amdocs will host a conference call on April 17, 2008 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Company's second quarter results. The call will be carried live on the Internet via http://www.investorcalendar.com/ and the Amdocs website, http://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 income taxes and non-GAAP net income. These non-GAAP measures exclude the following items: -- amortization of purchased intangible assets; -- in-process research and development write-off and other, -- restructuring charges -- 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 income taxes and non-GAAP net income, 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, in-process research and development write-off and other, restructuring charges, 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 non-cash expenses in reviewing its results and those of its competitors, because the amounts of the expenses between companies can vary greatly depending on the assumptions used by an individual company in determining the amounts of the expenses. 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, 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.
