Chennai Flood Impact

Heavy rainfall and the resultant flooding in Chennai, India in December 2015 temporarily affected Virtusa’s regular business operations at its Chennai facility. Operations in Virtusa’s Chennai facility have been fully restored; however, the incident resulted in an unfavorable revenue impact of approximately $(0.8) million in the third fiscal quarter of 2016. In addition, Virtusa incurred approximately $0.4 million of incremental expenses associated with the deployment of its business continuity program. In total, Virtusa’s earnings per share were impacted by approximately $(0.02) in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 due to the effects of the flood.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal 2016 with $201.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments (2).  Virtusa’s fiscal third quarter ending cash balance excludes $20.3 million of restricted cash held in escrow for the mandatory unconditional offer related to the proposed acquisition of a majority interest in Polaris Consulting & Services, Ltd.  Cash flow from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $22.4 million.

Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “I am pleased with our fiscal third quarter performance.  While we faced some unexpected challenges brought on by the Chennai floods, outstanding execution by our local team enabled us to navigate this event with minimal interruption to our critical business operations.  From a demand perspective, corporations are increasingly investing in IT solutions which enable them to run their business more efficiently, secure the business, and grow the business. Virtusa’s value proposition of delivering industry-leading, transformational services and solutions that squarely address these critical business objectives continues to resonate in the market and is enabling us to win market share.”

Ranjan Kalia, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We delivered solid sequential and year-over-year revenue growth in the fiscal third quarter. Our strong quarterly cash flow provides us with increased flexibility to invest in our growth initiatives including in the upcoming Polaris acquisition. Our fiscal fourth quarter guidance reflects sequential revenue growth across all three of our industry verticals, partially offset by greater foreign exchange headwinds, continued pressure on our insurance segment, and a later than previously expected close of the Polaris acquisition.”

Financial Outlook

Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:

·                 Fourth quarter fiscal 2016 revenue is expected to be in the range of $172.0 to $175.0 million, and assumes a later than previously anticipated closing of the Polaris acquisition expected now in late February 2016. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $(0.01) to $0.01. Virtusa management currently expects Polaris to contribute revenue of approximately $20 million and to be approximately ($0.36) dilutive to Virtusa’s GAAP earnings per share, including approximately ($0.20) of dilution from acquisition-related charges. Fourth quarter fiscal 2016 non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.44 to $0.46, including $(0.10) dilution from the Polaris transaction.

·                 Fiscal year 2016 revenue is expected to be in the range of $600.4 to $603.4 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.07 to $1.09. Virtusa management currently expects Polaris to contribute revenue of approximately $20 million and to be approximately ($0.39) dilutive to Virtusa’s GAAP earnings per share, including approximately ($0.23) of dilution from acquisition-related charges. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.96 to $1.98, including $(0.10) dilution from the Polaris transaction.

Virtusa’s current GAAP diluted EPS guidance for the fourth fiscal quarter and the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 estimates Polaris transaction and integration expenses of $8.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

The Company’s fourth quarter diluted EPS estimates an average share count of approximately 30.2 million and fiscal year 2016 diluted EPS estimates an average share count of approximately 30.0 million, (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards) and assume a stock price of $44.95, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on February 4, 2016.  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

(1) To determine year-over-year constant currency revenue for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2016, 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 December 31, 2014 of 1.58 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended December 31, 2015 of 1.51 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling. To determine sequential revenue change in constant currency for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2016, 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 September 30, 2015 of 1.55 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended December 31, 2015 of 1.51 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling.
