PERFICIENT REPATRIATING OFFSHORE CAPITAL

 
SAINT LOUIS, MO (June 16, 2017) – Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT) (“Perficient”), the leading digital transformation consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced it is repatriating $9.6 million from its subsidiary in China, freeing up that capital to provide more flexibility for growth.

“Our successful and profitable operations in China have allowed us to build cash balances greater than we plan to permanently deploy in the region,” said Paul E. Martin, chief financial officer. “We will use this capital to help further invest and hire domestically, reduce borrowing costs and to help fund mergers and acquisitions. While the transaction creates a one-time tax impact to quarterly and annual GAAP earnings, there is no impact on our quarterly or annual adjusted earnings and we expect the repatriation will provide long-term benefits to the business.”
 
Perficient now expects its second quarter GAAP earnings per share to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.07, and full-year GAAP earnings per share to be in the range of $0.49 to $0.64. The company is reiterating previous adjusted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure: see attached schedule which reconciles to GAAP earnings per share) guidance of $0.29 to $0.31 for the second quarter and $1.17 to $1.31 for the full year.
