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 first quarter was $253.2 million, representing a 21.9% increase versus Q1 of last year and a 3.8% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the first quarter was $236.3 million, an increase of 17.3% year-over-year and a 3.5% increase sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal first quarter was up 11.4% versus Q1 of last year and 3.0% sequentially. Year-over-year, fiscal Q1 revenue improved as a result of reduced COVID-19 headwinds, new client additions, the expansion of existing relationships, and currency movements net of hedging. Sequentially, revenue improvement was driven by broad-based revenue growth and currency movements net of hedging.

Profit in the fiscal first quarter was $26.8 million, as compared to $14.8 million in Q1 of last year and $27.5 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, profit increased as a result of easing pandemic-related pressures, revenue growth driven by new logos and client expansions, currency movements net of hedging, lower amortization of intangibles expense, interest income associated with a tax refund, and a non-recurring tax benefit on liquid mutual funds. These benefits more than offset the impact of wage increases, contractual productivity commitments, the reinstatement of our corporate leave policy, and higher share-based compensation expense. Sequentially, Q1 profit decreased as a result of wage increases, contractual productivity commitments, higher share-based compensation expense, employee hiring in advance of revenue, COVID-related business continuity costs, and the reinstatement of our corporate leave policy. These headwinds were partially offset by increased revenue, reduced SG&A driven by Q4 bonus and incentive amounts, higher interest income associated with a tax refund, a non-recurring tax benefit on liquid mutual funds, and currency movements net of hedging.

Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q1 was $39.0 million, as compared to $26.1 million in Q1 of last year and $36.7 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 costs and associated tax impacts, which are excluded from ANI*.

From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q1 with $311.3 million in cash and investments and $16.8 million of debt. In the first quarter, the company generated $15.3 million in cash from operations and incurred $7.7 million in capital expenditures. WNS also repurchased 1,100,000 ADSs at an average price of $77.31 per ADS, which impacted Q1 cash by $85.0 million. First quarter days sales outstanding were 32 days, as compared to 39 days reported in Q1 of last year and 30 days in the previous quarter.

“We are pleased with our fiscal first quarter financial performance, as the company posted solid revenue growth and healthy margins. Despite challenges related to a spike of COVID-19 cases in India during the quarter, WNS was able to execute well in a difficult environment, protecting the health and safety of our employees and the mission-critical operations of our clients,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’s Chief Executive Officer. “The company continues to see significant opportunities to capitalize on an under-penetrated customer base, a strong new business pipeline, and a robust BPM market driven by demand for digital transformation and improved competitive positioning.”

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on the global economy, our clients’ businesses, and on WNS’s operations, financials, and visibility. Revenue has been pressured by lower client volumes, delays in new business ramps, client concessions, and facility lockdowns which impact service delivery. WNS is actively working to manage our clients’ changing requirements, adapt our service delivery models, ensure data security, and manage costs. In the fiscal first quarter, the company delivered 99% of our clients’ requirements. Going forward, impacts to our financial performance will be a function of how long the COVID-19 pandemic lasts on a global basis, and how long it takes our clients’ businesses to stabilize and recover.

Fiscal 2022 Guidance

WNS is updating guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 as follows:

  • Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $961 million and $1,009 million, up from $868.7 million in fiscal 2021. Guidance assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.38 for the remainder of fiscal 2022.
  • ANI* is expected to range between $158 million and $168 million versus $141.7 million in fiscal 2021. Guidance assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 74.50 for the remainder of fiscal 2022.
  • Based on a diluted share count of 51.2 million shares, the company expects fiscal 2022 adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS to be in the range of $3.09 to $3.28 versus $2.72 in fiscal 2021.

“The company has updated our forecast for fiscal 2022 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Sanjay Puria, WNS’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the full year reflects growth in revenue less repair payments* of 11% to 16%, or 8% to 14% on a constant currency* basis. We currently have 95% visibility to the midpoint of the range, consistent with July guidance in previous years. For the year, we expect capital expenditures of up to $35 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 14, 2021.

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 14, 2021.

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 expense 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 expense 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. 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) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’s financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue, profit and earnings per ADS 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 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 ADS) to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS, respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that we do not believe is reasonable.

(1) The company applies GAAP methodologies in computing the tax impact on its non-GAAP ANI adjustments (including amortization of intangible assets 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.
