NEW YORK & MUMBAI, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WNS (Holdings) Limited (WNS) (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, today announced results for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2023.

GAAP Financials
Non-GAAP Financial Measures*

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 fourth quarter was $314.9 million, representing a 5.4% increase versus Q4 of last year and a 2.6% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the fourth quarter was $305.0 million, an increase of 10.9% year-over-year and 4.1% sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal fourth quarter was up 15.6% versus Q4 of last year and 2.5% sequentially. Year-over-year, fiscal Q4 revenue improved as a result of our new client additions, the expansion of existing relationships, our acquisitions of Vuram, OptiBuy, and The Smart Cube, and increased travel volume which more than offset the ramp-down of a large HealthCare process and unfavorable currency movements. Sequentially, growth driven by broad-based revenue momentum, our acquisitions of OptiBuy and The Smart Cube, and favorable currency movements was partially offset by the ramp-down of a large HealthCare process discussed above.
Profit in the fiscal fourth quarter was $36.4 million, as compared to $38.9 million in Q4 of last year and $34.7 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, profit decreased as a result of wage increases, increased return-to-office costs, currency movements impacting monetary assets and liabilities, higher share-based compensation expense, and increased costs associated with our acquisitions of Vuram, OptiBuy, and The Smart Cube including amortization of intangibles, interest expense, and other acquisition-related expenses. These headwinds more than offset favorable impacts from revenue growth, improved productivity, and a lower effective tax rate. Sequentially, Q4 profit increased as a result of revenue growth, improved productivity, one-time tax and interest income benefits, and lower acquisition-related expenses. These benefits were partially offset by wage increases, return-to-office costs, currency impacts on monetary assets and liabilities, and increased amortization of intangibles associated with our recent acquisitions.
Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q4 was $52.4 million, as compared to $48.3 million in Q4 of last year and $50.6 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 expenses, and associated tax impacts which are excluded from ANI*.
From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q4 with $304.9 million in cash and investments and $173.4 million in debt. In the fourth quarter, the company generated $84.3 million in cash from operations, incurred $14.7 million in capital expenditures, and repaid $8.0 million in long-term debt. Fourth quarter days sales outstanding were 32 days, as compared to 30 days reported in Q4 of last year and 34 days in the previous quarter.
“In the fiscal fourth quarter, WNS once again delivered solid financial performance despite the weak macro environment,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’ Chief Executive Officer. “For the fiscal 2023 full year, the company grew constant currency revenue less repair payments* by 19% and expanded our adjusted diluted earnings* per share by 13%. We enter fiscal 2024 with healthy demand for our services, strong revenue momentum, a resilient business model, and differentiated positioning in the BPM space. The company remains focused on investing for the future, driving strong operational and financial execution, and delivering long-term sustainable value for all of our stakeholders.”
Fiscal 2024 Guidance
WNS is providing guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, as follows:
- Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $1,290 million and $1,348 million, up from $1,162.0 million in fiscal 2023. Guidance assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.24 versus 1.21 in fiscal 2023.
- ANI* is expected to range between $209 million and $221 million versus $196.1 million in fiscal 2023. Guidance assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 82.0 versus 80.3 in fiscal 2023.
- Based on a diluted share count of 50.7 million shares, the company expects fiscal 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share* to be in the range of $4.12 to $4.36 versus $3.86 in fiscal 2023.
“The company has provided our initial 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 11% to 16% on both a reported and constant currency* basis, with 88% visibility to the midpoint of the range. This includes an estimated 3% inorganic growth related to our acquisitions of Vuram, OptiBuy and The Smart Cube. For the year, we expect capital expenditures of 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 17, 2022.
For financial statement reporting purposes, WNS has two reportable segments: WNS Global BPM and WNS Auto Claims BPM. Revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a) revenue less (b) in the auto claims business, 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 17, 2022.
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 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.

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. |
