NEW YORK; June 28, 2012 — Accenture (NYSE: ACN) reported financial results in line with its guided range for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, ended May 31, 2012. Net revenues were $7.2 billion, an increase of 6 percent in U.S. dollars and 9 percent in local currency over the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $1.03, an increase of $0.10 over the same period last year, driven principally by higher revenue and operating results.
Operating income was $1.06 billion, an increase of 12 percent over the same period last year, and operating margin was 14.8 percent, compared with 14.1 percent for the same period last year.
New bookings for the quarter were $7.29 billion, with consulting bookings of $4.05 billion and outsourcing bookings of $3.24 billion.
Pierre Nanterme, Accenture’s chief executive officer, said, “We are pleased with our third-quarter performance. Our revenue growth in local currency was broad-based across all five operating groups and all three geographic regions, with particularly strong growth in outsourcing revenues. Quarterly new bookings of $7.3 billion took us to $23 billion for the first three quarters of the year, positioning us very well to achieve our annual outlook. Our balance sheet remains very strong, with a cash balance of $5.6 billion.
“While we continue to monitor the global economic environment, our highly diversified portfolio of business continues to position us well to drive profitable growth and deliver value to our clients and shareholders.”
Financial Review
Revenues before reimbursements (“net revenues”) for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 were $7.2 billion, compared with $6.7 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 6 percent in U.S. dollars and 9 percent in local currency.
▪ | Consulting net revenues for the quarter were $4.0 billion, consistent in U.S. dollars and an increase of 3 percent in local currency compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2011. |
▪ | Outsourcing net revenues were $3.2 billion, an increase of 16 percent in U.S. dollars and 19 percent in local currency over the third quarter of fiscal 2011. |
Diluted EPS for the quarter were $1.03, compared with $0.93 for the third quarter last year, an increase of $0.10, or 11 percent. The $0.10 increase in EPS reflects:
▪ | $0.10 from higher revenue and operating results; and |
▪ | $0.02 from a lower share count; |
partially offset by:
▪ | $0.02 from a higher effective tax rate. |
Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net revenues) for the quarter was 33.1 percent, compared with 34.4 percent for the third quarter last year. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter were $1.31 billion, or 18.3 percent of net revenues, compared with $1.36 billion, or 20.2 percent of net revenues, for the third quarter last year.

The company’s effective tax rate for the quarter was 28.5 percent, compared with 27.0 percent for the third quarter last year. The higher rate in the third quarter this year was primarily due to a net increase in reserves and a change in the geographic mix of income.

Returning Cash to Shareholders
Accenture continues to return cash to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases.
Dividend
On May 15, 2012, a semi-annual cash dividend of 67.5 cents per share was paid on Accenture plc Class A ordinary shares to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 13, 2012, and on Accenture SCA Class I common shares to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 10, 2012.
Combined with the semi-annual cash dividend of 67.5 cents per share paid on Nov. 15, 2011, this brings the total dividend payments for the fiscal year to $1.35 per share, for total cash dividend payments of $951 million.
Share Repurchase Activity
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, Accenture repurchased or redeemed 10.7 million shares, including 9.8 million shares repurchased in the open market, for a total of $653 million. This brings Accenture’s total share repurchases and redemptions for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 to 24.7 million shares, including 19.7 million shares repurchased in the open market, for a total of approximately $1.4 billion.
Accenture’s total remaining share repurchase authority at May 31, 2012 was approximately $4.8 billion.
At May 31, 2012, Accenture had approximately 697 million total shares outstanding, including 639 million Accenture plc Class A ordinary shares and 58 million Accenture SCA Class I common shares and Accenture Canada Holdings Inc. exchangeable shares.
Business Outlook
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2012
Accenture expects net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 to be in the range of $6.60 billion to $6.85 billion. This range assumes a foreign-exchange impact of negative 7 percent compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
Full Fiscal Year 2012
Accenture’s business outlook for the full 2012 fiscal year now assumes a foreign-exchange impact of negative 2 percent compared with fiscal 2011; its previous outlook for full-year foreign-exchange impact was negative 1 percent.
For fiscal 2012, the company continues to expect revenue growth to be in the range of 10 percent to 12 percent in local currency.
The company has updated and narrowed its range for diluted EPS for fiscal 2012 to $3.80 to $3.84 from its previously guided range of $3.82 to $3.90. The update is primarily due to the company’s revised foreign-exchange assumption, which reduced the range by approximately $0.04.
Accenture continues to expect operating margin for the full fiscal year to be in the range of 13.7 percent to 13.9 percent, an expansion of 10 to 30 basis points.
The company now expects operating cash flow to be $3.55 billion to $3.85 billion and property and equipment additions to be $350 million and continues to expect free cash flow to be in the range of $3.2 billion to $3.5 billion. The company continues to expect its annual effective tax rate to be in the range of 27 percent to 28 percent.
Accenture expects new bookings for the full fiscal year to be toward the upper end of its previously guided range of $28 billion to $31 billion.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein, statements in this news release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These include, without limitation, risks that: the company’s results of operations could be adversely affected by volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions and the effects of these conditions on the company’s clients’ businesses and levels of business activity; the company’s business depends on generating and maintaining ongoing, profitable client demand for the company’s services and solutions, and a significant reduction in such demand could materially affect the company’s results of operations; if the company is unable to keep its supply of skills and resources in balance with client demand around the world and attract and retain professionals with strong leadership skills, the company’s business, the utilization rate of the company’s professionals and the company’s results of operations may be materially adversely affected; the consulting and outsourcing markets are highly competitive, and the company might not be able to compete effectively; the company’s results of operations (including its net revenues and operating income) and the value of balance-sheet items originally denominated in other currencies could be materially adversely affected by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or changes to existing currencies; the company could have liability or the company’s reputation could be damaged if the company fails to protect client and company data or information systems as obligated by law or contract or if the company’s information systems are breached; the company’s Global Delivery Network is increasingly concentrated in India and the Philippines, which may expose it to operational risks; as a result of the company’s geographically diverse operations and its growth strategy to continue geographic expansion, the company is more susceptible to certain risks; the company’s results of operations could materially suffer if the company is not able to obtain sufficient pricing to enable it to meet its profitability expectations; if the company’s pricing estimates do not accurately anticipate the cost, risk and complexity of the company performing its work or third parties upon which it relies do not meet their commitments, then the company’s contracts could have delivery inefficiencies and be unprofitable; the company’s work with government clients exposes the company to additional risks inherent in the government contracting environment, including risks related to governmental budget and debt constraints; the company’s business could be materially adversely affected if it incurs legal liability in connection with providing its services and solutions; the company’s results of operations and ability to grow could be materially negatively affected if the company cannot adapt and expand its services and solutions in response to ongoing changes in technology and offerings by new entrants; outsourcing services subject the company to different operational risks than its consulting and systems integration services; the company’s services or solutions could infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others or the company might lose its ability to utilize the intellectual property of others; the company has only a limited ability to protect its intellectual property rights, which are important to the company’s success; the company’s ability to attract and retain business and employees may depend on its reputation in the marketplace; the company’s alliance relationships may not be successful or may change, which could adversely affect the company’s results of operations; the company may not be successful at identifying, acquiring or integrating other businesses; the company’s profitability could suffer if its cost-management strategies are unsuccessful, and the company may not be able to improve its profitability through improvements to cost-management to the degree it has done in the past; many of the company’s contracts include performance payments that link some of its fees to the attainment of performance or business targets and/or require the company to meet specific service levels, which could increase the variability of the company’s revenues and impact its margins; changes in the company’s level of taxes, and audits, investigations and tax proceedings, or changes in the company’s treatment as an Irish company, could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial condition; if the company is unable to manage the organizational challenges associated with its size, the company might be unable to achieve its business objectives; if the company is unable to collect its receivables or unbilled services, the company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected; the company’s share price and results of
operations could fluctuate and be difficult to predict; the company’s results of operations and share price could be adversely affected if it is unable to maintain effective internal controls; the company may be subject to criticism and negative publicity related to its incorporation in Ireland; as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed under the “Risk Factors” heading in Accenture plc’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Statements in this news release speak only as of the date they were made, and Accenture undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements made in this news release or to conform such statements to actual results or changes in Accenture’s expectations.
