N.V. 'Tiger' Tyagarajan, Genpact's president and CEO, said, "In the first quarter of 2014, Genpact delivered growth in revenues, adjusted income from operations, net income and earnings per share. The year is off to a good start as we execute on our growth strategy.  During the quarter, we closed a large, new transformative engagement with an existing client that also adds capabilities in a targeted vertical, consumer packaged goods. More recently, we agreed to acquire Pharmalink Consulting, which will add new domain expertise in the regulatory affairs space of life sciences, and announced a strategic partnership with Oliver Wyman, a global leader in risk consulting, to build and take to market new end-to-end risk solutions for the increasingly regulated financial services vertical."

Revenues from Global Clients grew 7.1% over the first quarter of 2013. Business process management revenues from Global Clients grew by 6.2%, led by growth in the capital markets, consumer packaged goods, life sciences and healthcare verticals. Revenues from Global Clients represented approximately 79.1% of Genpact's total revenues, or $418.0 million, with the remaining 20.9% of revenues, or $110.2 million, coming from GE. GE revenues declined 3.1% from the first quarter of 2013, adjusted for dispositions by GE of businesses that Genpact continues to serve as Global Clients.    

In the 12 months ending March 31, 2014, 81 client relationships each contributed more than $5 million in annual revenue, up from 75 such relationships as of March 31, 2013. This includes client relationships with more than $15 million in annual revenue increasing from 24 to 26, and client relationships with more than $25 million in annual revenue increasing from 12 to 13.

75.3% of Genpact's revenues for the quarter came from business process management services, compared to 76.2% in the first quarter of 2013.  Revenues from IT services accounted for 24.7% of total revenues for the quarter, up from 23.8% in the first quarter of 2013.

Genpact generated approximately $14.2 million of cash from operations in the quarter, compared to $31.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Genpact had approximately $567.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014.  Subsequent to the quarter, on April 8, 2014, we purchased $303 million in value of our common shares, or approximately 17.3 million shares, at a price of $17.50 per share.   

As of March 31, 2014, Genpact had approximately 64,900 employees worldwide, an increase from approximately 60,200 as of March 31, 2013. Genpact's employee attrition rate for the quarter was approximately 22%, measured from the first day of employment, down from 24% for the same period in 2013. Annualized revenue per employee for the quarter was $33,800, compared to $34,500 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  

2014 Outlook

Tyagarajan added, "2014 is a pivotal year for Genpact as we position ourselves for accelerated long-term growth. Our pipeline continues to be healthy, with good inflows of larger, transformative deals, as we continue to invest in client-facing teams and domain experts.  We continue to expect 2014 revenues of $2.22 to $2.26 billion and adjusted income from operations margin in a range of 15.0 – 15.5%.  Our guidance excludes our recent agreement to acquire Pharmalink Consulting, which we expect to close by mid-year."

Reconciliation of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures:

• Adjusted income from operations;
• Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted net income; and
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted diluted earnings per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of Genpact's GAAP financial statements to such non-GAAP financial measures should be carefully evaluated.

Prior to July 2012, Genpact's management used financial statements that excluded significant acquisition related expenses and amortization of related acquired intangibles for its internal management reporting, budgeting and decision making purposes, including comparing Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors. However, considering Genpact's frequent acquisitions of varying scale and size, and the difficulty in predicting expenses relating to acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangibles thereof, since July 2012 Genpact's management uses financial statements that exclude all acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles for its internal management reporting, budgeting and decision making purposes, including comparing Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors.

Additionally, Genpact's management uses financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles at formation in 2004. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation," Genpact's management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the above expenses allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results and those of other companies. Genpact also believes that it is unreasonably difficult to provide its financial outlook in accordance with GAAP for a number of reasons including, without limitation, its inability to predict its stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718, the amortization of intangibles associated with further acquisitions and acquisition related expenses. Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

A limitation of using adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income versus income from operations and net income calculated in accordance with GAAP is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude a recurring cost, namely stock-based compensation. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the GAAP amounts excluded from adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these adjusted financial measures from GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014:
