WNS Announces Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Earnings,

Revises Full Year Guidance

NEW YORK, LONDON, MUMBAI; January 23, 2025 — WNS (Holdings) Limited (WNS) (NYSE: WNS), a digital-led business transformation and services partner, today announced results for the fiscal 2025 third quarter ended December 31, 2024.

 

 

Highlights – Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter:

 

GAAP Financials

•  Revenue of $333.0 million, up 2.1% from $326.2 million in Q3 of last year and up 3.2% from $322.6 million last quarter

•  Profit of $48.6 million, compared to $41.5 million in Q3 of last year and $41.8 million last quarter

•  Diluted earnings per share of $1.07, compared to $0.85 in Q3 of last year and $0.92 last quarter

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures* 

•  Revenue less repair payments of $319.1 million, up 1.0% from $315.9 million in Q3 of last year and up 2.7% from $310.7 million last quarter

•  Adjusted Net Income (ANI) of $47.0 million, compared to $58.5 million in Q3 of last year and $51.5 million last quarter

•  Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.04, compared to $1.19 in Q3 of last year and $1.13 last quarter

 

Other Metrics

•  Added 7 new clients in the quarter, expanded 52 existing relationships

•  Days sales outstanding (DSO) at 34 days

•  Global headcount of 63,390 as of December 31, 2024

As announced previously, beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2025, WNS transitioned from reporting to the SEC on the forms available to foreign private issuers and preparing its financial statements in accordance with IFRS to voluntarily reporting on US domestic issuer forms and preparing its financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. On July 9, 2024, WNS furnished a report on Form 8-K with the SEC containing a supplementary financial information package comprising its unaudited quarterly financial results for each of the quarters in fiscal 2024 and for full year fiscal 2024 and 2023 prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The supplementary financial information package sets forth the key impact on our quarterly financial statements for each of the quarters in fiscal 2024 and for full year fiscal 2024 and 2023 as a result of our transition to US GAAP. The comparative financial information in this release for the previous fiscal periods are also under US GAAP.

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 $333.0 million, representing a 2.1% increase versus Q3 of last year and an increase of 3.2% from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the third quarter was $319.1 million, increasing 1.0% year-over-year and 2.7% sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal third quarter was flat versus Q3 of last year and up 3.2% sequentially. Year-over-year, Q3 revenue growth driven by new client additions, the expansions of existing relationships, and favorable currency movements more than offset headwinds from the loss of a large Healthcare client, lower volumes in the online travel segment, and reductions in discretionary project work. Sequentially, broad-based revenue growth was partially offset by online travel volume reductions and unfavorable currency movements.

Profit in the fiscal third quarter was $48.6 million, as compared to $41.5 million in Q3 of last year and $41.8 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, profit increased as a result of a $13.7 million reversal of contingent consideration relating to our acquisition of The Smart Cube, reductions in share-based compensation and amortization of intangibles, and favorable currency movements. These benefits were partially offset by $9.5 million of non-recurring tax benefits in Q3 of fiscal 2024 and higher net interest expense. Sequentially, Q3 profit increased as a result of a net increase in contingent consideration reversals, higher revenue, and operating margin expansion. These benefits were partially offset by a one-time tax benefit in Q2 from the reversal of a deferred tax liability on intangibles.

Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q3 was $47.0 million, as compared to $58.5 million in Q3 of last year and $51.5 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, impairment of intangible assets, costs associated with ADS program termination and transition to voluntarily reporting on US domestic issuer forms, acquisition-related items, and associated tax impacts which are excluded from ANI*.

From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q3 with $231.5 million in cash and investments and $199.6 million in debt. In the quarter, the company generated $88.7 million in cash from operations, incurred $12.1 million in capital expenditures, and repaid $58.4 million in debt. Third quarter days sales outstanding were 34 days, as compared to 35 days reported in Q3 of last year and 38 days in the previous quarter.

“In the fiscal third quarter, WNS was able to re-accelerate sequential revenue growth, expand adjusted operating margin, and generate strong cash flow. Top line growth was driven by broad-based demand for domain-led process automation and cost reduction, including new logo additions and the expansion of existing client relationships,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’ Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to make solid progress moving large transformational opportunities through the pipeline, and are focused on closing these large deals to help accelerate revenue growth. In addition, WNS remains committed to our ongoing investments in domain expertise, data and analytics, and technology-enabled offerings leveraging AI and GenAI to ensure our ability to deliver long-term sustainable value to all of our stakeholders.”

Fiscal 2025 Guidance

WNS is updating guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, as follows:

 

   

Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $1,255 million and $1,271 million, as compared to $1,284.3 million in fiscal 2024. Guidance assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.25 for the remainder of fiscal 2025.

 

   

ANI* is expected to range between $205 million and $209 million versus $218.0 million in fiscal 2024. Guidance assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 85.5 for the remainder of fiscal 2025.

 

   

Based on a diluted share count of 45.9 million shares, the company expects fiscal 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share* to be in the range of $4.46 to $4.55 versus $4.42 in fiscal 2024.

“The company has updated our forecast for fiscal 2025 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Arijit Sen, WNS’ Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the full year reflects revenue less repair payments* of -2% to -1% on a reported* basis, and -3% to -1% on a constant currency* basis as compared to fiscal 2024. ANI guidance includes a one-time benefit in Q4 of $12.2 million relating to a facility asset sale in India. For the year, we currently expect capital expenditures to be up to $60 million.”

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 10, 2024.

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 10, 2024.

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 & intangible impairment, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits, costs related to the exchange of ADSs to ordinary shares, costs related to change to US GAAP reporting and voluntarily filing on US domestic issuer forms with SEC and amortization of intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, (2) ANI, which is calculated as profit excluding goodwill & intangible impairment, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits, costs related to the termination of ADS program and listing of ordinary shares, costs related to the transition to voluntarily reporting on US domestic issuer forms 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, 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 US-GAAP.

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 US-GAAP (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 OptiBuy in September 2024 and Smart Cube in December 2024.

 

(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.
