Westborough, MA — (May 9, 2012) Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ: VRTU), a global IT services company that offers a broad range of information technology services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing services, today reported consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and  fiscal year 2012, ended March 31, 2012.

 

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2012 Consolidated Financial Results

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $74.2 million, an increase of 3% sequentially and 27% year-over-year in reported currency.  On a constant currency basis,(1) fourth quarter revenue increased 3% sequentially and 28% year-over-year.

 

Virtusa reported income from operations of $7.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase compared to $6.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, and an increase compared to $5.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $5.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, an increase compared to $5.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, and an increase compared to $5.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Fiscal Year 2012 Consolidated Financial Results

 

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, revenue increased 27% both in reported as well as in constant currency, to a record $277.8 million, compared to $218.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

 

Virtusa reported income from operations of $23.9 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase compared to $17.8 million for fiscal year 2011.

 



 

Net income for fiscal year 2012 was $20.0 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, an increase compared to $16.2 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for fiscal 2011.

 

The Company ended fiscal 2012 with $85.4 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments.(2)  Cash generated from operations was $20.9 million for fiscal year 2012.

 

Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We had a solid fourth quarter capping off a strong year.  We have made great strides in building a sustainable growth platform by diversifying our client base, further strengthening our business consulting teams, deepening our industry expertise and expanding our solutions offerings.  The result was broad-based growth across industries and geographies and the best client foundation in our history from which to drive future revenue growth.”

 

Ranjan Kalia, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our focus on growing the top line while realizing operating efficiencies enabled us to significantly increase operating margins as we moved throughout the fiscal year.”  Mr. Kalia added, “Our 2013 full year fiscal guidance reflects the continuation of these efforts as we intend to drive market leading revenue growth while expanding the bottom line at a faster rate.”

 

In addition, Virtusa’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $15 million of the Company’s common stock over the next twelve months. Share repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act of 1934. While the board of directors has approved the share purchasing guidelines, the timing of repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be purchased will be determined by the Company’s management, at its discretion, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. The program will be funded using the Company’s cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time.  The Company’s fiscal year 2013 current financial guidance does not consider any potential impact from the share repurchase program.

 

Financial Outlook

 

Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:

 

·                  First quarter fiscal 2013 revenue is expected to be in the range of $75.0 to $77.0 million, with diluted EPS of $0.20 to $0.24.

 

·                  Fiscal year 2013 revenue is expected to be in the range of $314.0 to $330.0 million, with diluted EPS of $0.95 to $1.11.

 

The Company’s first quarter and fiscal year 2013 diluted EPS estimates assume an average share count of approximately 25.5 million and 25.7 million respectively, (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards) and assume a stock price of $13.37, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on May 8, 2012.  Deviations from this stock price

 



 

may cause actual EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Footnotes and Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

(1) To determine year-over-year constant currency revenue for the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. pound sterling was converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of 1.61 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of 1.58 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling. To determine sequential revenue change in constant currency for the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. pounds sterling was converted into U.S. dollars at the

 



 

average exchange rate in effect for the three months ended December 31, 2011 of 1.57 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of 1.58 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling.

 

(2) The Company considers the measure of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments to be a more meaningful indicator of the Company’s overall liquidity. All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale, including the Company’s long-term investments which consist of fixed income securities, including government agency bonds and municipal and corporate bonds, which meet the credit rating and diversification requirements of the Company’s investment policy as approved by the Company’s audit committee and board of directors.

 

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined by Regulation G by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Virtusa presents constant currency revenue to provide insights into, and a framework for assessing, how Virtusa’s revenue performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations (see footnote (1) above for further detail). Virtusa also presents a reconciliation of its cash, cash equivalents, short term and long term investments which it believes provides insight into its cash position and overall liquidity (see footnote (2) above for further detail). While Virtusa’s management believes that these non-GAAP revenue measures and cash reconciliation presentations are useful in evaluating Virtusa’s revenue and cash position and overall liquidity, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
