ST. LOUIS – November 4, 2009 – Amdocs Limited (NYSE: DOX) today reported that for its fiscal fourth quarter ended September 30, 2009, revenue was $707.4 million, a decrease of 14.3% from last year’s fourth quarter and up 2.5% sequentially. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $109.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $117.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP net income excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets and equity-based compensation expenses of $23.4 million, net of related tax effects, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and excludes such amortization, equity-based compensation expenses and restructuring charges of $34.5 million, net of related tax effects, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company’s GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $85.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted

 


 

share, compared to GAAP net income of $82.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the prior year’s fourth quarter.
“After experiencing a challenging fiscal year, we are pleased that our fourth quarter results demonstrated stronger-than-expected performance across our four key financial metrics: revenue, profitability, earnings and free cash flow. We believe this reflects positively on the value of Amdocs’ market leading offerings and strategic position against the backdrop of steadying economic conditions. While indicators are still mixed across our market and the global economy, we are cautiously optimistic that our business is stabilizing to slightly improving, as reflected in our fiscal first quarter guidance for 2010,” said Dov Baharav, chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.
Baharav continued, “Reflecting on our relative successes in 2009, we experienced rising interest and strong signings in managed services which we believe addresses the communications industry’s need to streamline cost structures, while concurrently offering the option to modernize systems. Additionally, we performed very well in cable and satellite in a tough economy, and we validated our market position by establishing and expanding important relationships with leading operators. We expect these two growth drivers – managed services and cable and satellite – to continue to perform well and provide a strong foundation for our results again in 2010. On the other hand, our project-oriented activities contracted in 2009 as they naturally reacted more sharply to deteriorating economic conditions. We believe, in aggregate, our project-oriented revenue is showing early signs of stabilization; however, decision cycles remain extended and results may still vary quarter to quarter in individual product areas and geographies.”
Baharav concluded, “Lastly, we believe we have made the right investments to drive our future long-term growth. Over the course of the recession, we have deepened our relationships with key customers, led the industry in R&D investment, and continued to streamline our cost structure. As a result, we truly believe we are emerging from the global economic crisis in a stronger competitive position than we entered.”

 


 

Free cash flow was $166 million for the quarter, comprised of cash flow from operations of $184 million less approximately $18 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 $2.385 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
Financial Outlook
Amdocs expects that revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 will be approximately $705-$725 million. Diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter are expected to be $0.51-$0.55, excluding acquisition-related costs and approximately $0.04-$0.05 per share of equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects. Amdocs estimates GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter will be $0.38-$0.44.
Fiscal Year 2009 Results
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, revenue decreased by 9.5% to $2.863 billion. Fiscal 2009 net income on a non-GAAP basis was $438.9 million, or $2.12 per diluted share (excluding acquisition-related costs, which include amortization of purchased intangible assets and in-process research and development write-off, and excluding restructuring charges and equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, of $112.7 million), compared to non-GAAP net income of $499.6 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, in fiscal 2008 (excluding acquisition-related costs, which include amortization of purchased intangible assets and in-process research and development write-off, and excluding restructuring charges and equity-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, of $120.7 million). The Company’s GAAP net income in fiscal 2009 was $326.2 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $378.9 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, in fiscal 2008.
Amdocs will host a conference call on November 4, 2009 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Company’s fourth 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 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;
 
    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 operating margin, 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, 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.
