Revenue in the first quarter was $326.5 million, representing a 10.5% increase versus Q1 of last year and a 3.7% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the first quarter was $317.5 million, an increase of 15.5% year-over-year and 4.1% sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal first quarter was up 17.5% versus Q1 of last year and 3.6% sequentially. Year-over-year, fiscal Q1 revenue improved as a result of our new client additions, the expansion of existing relationships, and our fiscal 2023 acquisitions, which more than offset the ramp-down of a large HealthCare process and unfavorable currency movements. Sequentially, growth driven by broad-based revenue momentum and favorable currency movements was partially offset by contractual productivity commitments to certain clients.
 
Profit in the fiscal first quarter was $30.1 million, as compared to $33.1 million in Q1 of last year and $36.4 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, profit decreased as a result of wage increases, increased return-to-office costs, higher share-based compensation expense, and increased costs associated with our acquisitions including amortization of intangibles, interest expense, and other acquisition-related expenses. These headwinds more than offset revenue growth and favorable impacts from currency movements. Sequentially, Q1 profit decreased as a result of wage increases, return-to-office costs, higher share-based compensation expense, and one-time benefits in Q4 from tax and interest income. These headwinds were partially offset by revenue growth and favorable currency impacts.
 
Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q1 was $50.6 million, as compared to $45.9 million in Q1 of last year and $52.4 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 expense, acquisition-related expenses, and associated tax impacts which are excluded from ANI.
 
From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q1 with $242.6 million in cash and investments and $206.2 million in debt. Included in this debt amount is $40.2 million borrowed for general corporate purposes against our line of credit during the quarter. In Q1, the company generated $19.5 million in cash from operations, incurred $17.8 million in capital expenditures, and repaid $10.6 million in long-term debt. WNS also repurchased 1,100,000 ADSs at an average price of $77.84, impacting Q1 cash by $85.6 million. First quarter days sales outstanding were 34 days, as compared to 29 days reported in Q1 of last year and 32 days in the previous quarter.
 
“In the fiscal first quarter, WNS continued to deliver healthy financial results and position our business for long-term success,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’ Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the challenging macro environment, WNS grew constant currency revenue less repair payments
by more than 17% and maintained our industry-leading adjusted operating margins*. Our updated guidance and visibility demonstrate the healthy and resilient nature of our business, and we believe WNS remains well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our clients. This includes ongoing technology and automation advancements such as AI and Generative AI. The company remains focused on investing in domain, technology, and talent, driving strong operational and financial execution, and delivering long-term sustainable value for all of our stakeholders.”

Fiscal 2024 Guidance

WNS is updating guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, as follows:
 

  • Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $1,296 million and $1,354 million, up from $1,162.0 million in fiscal 2023. Guidance assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.27 for the remainder of fiscal 2024.
  • ANI* is expected to range between $211 million and $223 million versus $196.1 million in fiscal 2023. Guidance assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 82.0 for the remainder of fiscal 2024.
  • Based on a diluted share count of 50.1 million shares, the company expects fiscal 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share* to be in the range of $4.21 to $4.45 versus $3.86 in fiscal 2023.

“The company has updated our forecast for fiscal 2024 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Sanjay Puria, WNS’ Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the full year reflects growth in revenue less repair payments* of 12% to 17% on a reported basis, or 11% to 16% constant currency*. This includes an estimated 3% inorganic growth related to our fiscal 2023 acquisitions. We currently have 92% visibility to the midpoint of the revenue range. For the year, we expect capital expenditures of up to $60 million.”

WNS Segment Reporting

Effective April 1, 2023, WNS has adopted a new organizational structure featuring four strategic business units (“SBUs”), each headed by a chief business officer (“CBO”). Under the new organizational structure, WNS has combined our existing verticals into the four SBUs (as set out below). The new organizational structure is expected to help drive improved outcomes for our global clients and enable our company to better drive business synergies, enhance scalability, generate operating leverage, and create organizational depth. To align with this new structure, WNS has changed our segments for financial statement reporting purposes. Reportable segments are as follows:
 
1. TSLU (comprising of Travel, Shipping/Logistics and Utilities verticals)
2. MRHP (comprising of Manufacturing/Retail/Consumer, Hi-tech/Professional Services and Procurement verticals)
3. HCLS (comprising of Healthcare vertical, which we have renamed as our Healthcare/Life Sciences vertical)
4. BFSI (comprising of Banking/Financial Services and Insurance verticals)
 
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 16, 2023.
 
Revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a) revenue less (b) in our BFSI segment, 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 16, 2023.
 
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 compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits 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 compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses or benefits 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 short term) and other non-GAAP financial measures included in this release as supplemental measures of its performance. Acquisition-related expenses or benefits consists of transaction costs, integration expenses, employment-linked earn-out as part of deferred consideration and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration including the impact of present value thereon. 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) to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and (ii) (with certain adjustments) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation. WNS is excluding acquisition-related expenses as described above with effect from fiscal 2023 second quarter.
 
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’ financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS.
 
The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue, profit and earnings per share 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 and acquisition-related expenses or benefits 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 share) to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted earnings per share*, respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that we do not believe is reasonable.
