IBEX Limited (“ibex”), a leading global provider in business
process outsourcing and end-to-end customer engagement technology
solutions, today announced financial results for its second quarter
ended December 31, 2022.
“We delivered on a tremendous second quarter of
fiscal year 2023. Driven by our strategic decision to aggressively
expand capacity in our high margin regions and exit a low margin
tenured client, our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin both
soared to record levels this past quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin
is up 450 basis points to 18%, and adjusted EBITDA is up 40% to
$25.1 million,” said Bob Dechant, CEO of ibex. “Additionally,
revenue continues to grow, fueled by an enviable client list
comprised of both elite blue-chip and leading new economy clients.
Despite trying market conditions, our powerful New Logo sales
engine continues to deliver outstanding results. Looking ahead, I
am very excited about the trajectory of our business.”
Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023
HighlightsBusiness Highlights
- Won 4 new logos across key
verticals in the quarter for a total of 7 new logos this fiscal
year.
- Capacity utilization increased to
62% at December 31, 2022 from 49% at June 30, 2022 enabling
significant margin improvement.
- The FinTech & HealthTech
verticals continued to increase significantly to 27.9% of total
revenue in the second quarter, compared to 22.3% of total revenue
in the prior year quarter.
Revenue
- Revenue increased 5.5% to $139.4 million, compared to $132.2
million in the prior year quarter.
- Excluding a legacy client we exited in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2022, revenue increased 12.6% over the prior year
quarter.
- Revenue related to our BPO 2.0 clients grew 16.9% compared to
the prior year quarter and now represents 77.3% of our quarterly
revenue.
Net Income
- Net income and net income margin
decreased to $1.9 million and 1.3%, respectively, compared to $8.5
million and 6.4%, respectively, in the prior year quarter. The
decrease was primarily the result of the revaluation of share
warrants driven by the improvement in the stock price.
- Non-GAAP adjusted net income
increased to $11.7 million, compared to $5.2 million in the prior
year quarter. Non-GAAP adjusted net income margin increased to
8.4%, compared to 3.9% in the prior year quarter (see Exhibit 1 for
reconciliation).
Adjusted EBITDA
- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased
to $25.1 million, compared to $17.8 million in the prior year
quarter (see Exhibit 2 for reconciliation).
- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin
increased to 18.0%, compared to 13.5% in the prior year quarter
(see Exhibit 2 for reconciliation).
Earnings Per Share
- IFRS fully diluted earnings per share was $0.10, compared to
$0.45 in the prior year quarter.
- Non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per share increased to
$0.62, compared to $0.27 in the prior year quarter (see Exhibit 1
for reconciliation).
Cash flow and balance sheet
-
Cash flow from operations increased to $8.3 million, compared to
$3.4 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to stronger
operating results partially offset by an increased use of working
capital.
- Capex was $7.9 million compared to
$11.8 million in the prior year quarter, as we continue to utilize
capacity built in the two prior fiscal years.
- Free cash flow for the second
quarter increased to $0.3 million, compared to ($8.4) million in
the prior year quarter.
- Cash and cash equivalents were
$38.1 million and availability on our revolving credit facilities
of $71.1 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to cash and cash
equivalents of $48.8 million and availability on our revolving
credit facilities of $50.5 million as of June 30, 2022.
- Total borrowings were $4.5 million
as of December 31, 2022, compared to total borrowings of $15.0
million as of June 30, 2022.
- DSOs were 61 days, down 1 day
compared to the prior year quarter, and up 2 days
sequentially.
Raising Fiscal Year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA
Guidance
- Fiscal year adjusted EBITDA of $82
million to $84 million with midpoint margin of 15.1%, up from $77
million to $79 million and a midpoint margin of 14.2%
previously.
Reaffirming Fiscal Year 2023 Revenue and
Capex Guidance
- Fiscal year 2023 organic revenue
between $545 million and $555 million with midpoint growth of 11.4%
versus fiscal year 2022.
- Fiscal year 2023 capex of $18
million to $22 million.
Foreign private issuer statusAs
of December 31, 2022, the last business day of our second fiscal
quarter, we determined that we will no longer qualify as a foreign
private issuer. Effective July 1, 2023, we will be required to file
periodic reports on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC and to
comply with other rules as required. Our annual report for the year
ending June 30, 2023 will be filed as a domestic issuer on Form
10-K and presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP), with such
change being applied retrospectively.
Conference Call and Webcast
InformationIBEX Limited will host a conference call and
live webcast to discuss its second quarter of fiscal year 2023
financial results at 4:30 p.m. eastern time today, February 15,
2023. The conference e-call may be accessed by registering

Financial InformationThis
announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute
an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting
Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.” The financial
information in this press release has not been audited.
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe
present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they
and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors,
securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental
measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures
internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to
manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying
historical performance, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide a more accurate depiction of the performance of
the business by encompassing only relevant and manageable events,
enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future.
The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures of other companies, have limitations as
analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under
IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or
liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB and should not be
considered as alternatives to operating profit or net income or as
alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing
activities for the period, or any other performance measures,
derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other
generally accepted accounting principles.
ibex is not providing a quantitative
reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to the
most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to
predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain
significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include,
but are not limited to, non-recurring expenses, fair value
adjustments, and share-based compensation expense. These items are
uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material
impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.
About ibexibex helps the
world’s preeminent brands more effectively engage their customers
with services ranging from customer support, technical support,
inbound/outbound sales, business intelligence and analytics,
digital demand generation, and CX surveys and feedback
analytics.
Forward Looking StatementsIn
addition to historical information, this release contains
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
“believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential,” or
the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
our future financial and operating performance, including our
outlook and guidance, and our strategies, priorities and business
plans. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not
materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. Factors that could impact our
actual results include: the effects of cyberattacks on our
information technology systems; our ability to attract new business
and retain key clients; our ability to enter into multi-year
contracts with our clients at appropriate rates; the potential for
our clients or potential clients to consolidate; our clients
deciding to enter into or further expand their insourcing
activities; our ability to manage portions of our business that
have long sales cycles and long implementation cycles that require
significant resources and working capital; our ability to manage
our international operations, particularly in the Philippines,
Jamaica, Pakistan and Nicaragua; our ability to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy,
data protection and information security; our ability to manage the
inelasticity of our labor costs relative to short-term movements in
client demand; our ability to realize the anticipated strategic and
financial benefits of our relationship with Amazon; our ability to
recruit, engage, motivate, manage and retain our global workforce;
our ability to anticipate, develop and implement information
technology solutions that keep pace with evolving industry
standards and changing client demands; our ability to maintain and
enhance our reputation and brand; developments relating to
COVID-19; and other factors discussed under the heading “Risk
Factors” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2022 and any
other risk factors we include in subsequent reports on Form 6-K.
Because of these uncertainties, you should not make any investment
decisions based on our estimates and forward-looking statements.
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly
update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date
of this press release whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

LimitedReconciliation of IFRS Financial Measures
to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EXHIBIT 1: Adjusted net income and adjusted fully
diluted earnings per share
We define “adjusted net income” as net income
before the effect of the following items: non-recurring expenses
(including severance expense, litigation and settlement expenses,
costs related to COVID-19, and listing costs, as applicable),
amortization of warrant asset, foreign currency translation gains
or losses, fair value measurement of share warrants, share-based
payments, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets and/or lease
terminations, and impairment of intangibles, as applicable, net of
the tax impact of such adjustments. The following table provides a
reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income for the periods
presented:

calculated using the effective tax rate in the relevant
jurisdictions.
EXHIBIT 2: EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDAWe define “EBITDA” as net income before the effect
of the following items: finance expenses (including finance expense
related to right-of-use lease liabilities), income tax (benefit) /
expense, and depreciation and amortization (including depreciation
of right-of-use assets). We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA
before the effect of the following items: non-recurring expenses
(including severance expense, litigation and settlement expenses,
costs related to COVID-19, and listing costs, as applicable),
amortization of warrant asset, foreign currency translation gains
or losses, fair value measurement of share warrants, share-based
payments, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets and/or lease
terminations, and impairment of intangibles, as applicable. The

(1) Excluded from free cash flow are the
principal portion of right-of-use lease payments of $3,566 and
$3,411 for the quarter ended and $7,042 and $6,426 for the six
months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We believe
it is useful to consider these payments when analyzing free cash
flow as these amounts directly relate to revenue generating assets
used in operations.
