Revenue Details – First Quarter 2017

At the end of each fiscal year, we reclassify revenue related to certain divested GE businesses as Global Client revenue as of the dates of divestiture. Such reclassifications are reflected in the revenue results and growth rates presented below. In addition, to provide a consistent view of the trends underlying our business, we are also presenting below revenue results and growth rates adjusted to assume that all 2016 reclassifications occurred on January 1, 2016.

  • Revenue from Global Clients was $554 million, up 8% year over year (up ~9% on a constant currency basis), representing approximately 89% of total revenues. If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, revenue from Global Clients would have increased 5% year over year (6% on a constant currency basis).
  • Revenue from GE was $69 million, down 28% year over year, representing approximately 11% of total revenues. If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, revenue from GE would have decreased 17% year over year.
  • Total BPO revenue was $511 million, up 5% year over year, representing approximately 82% of total revenues. If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, total BPO revenue would have increased 5% year over year.
  • Global Client BPO revenue was $462 million, up 11% year over year (up ~12% on a constant currency basis). If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, Global Client BPO revenue would have increased 7% year over year (~9% on a constant currency basis).
  • GE BPO revenue was $49 million, down 31% year over year. If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, GE BPO revenue would have decreased 17% year over year.
  • Total IT revenue was $112 million, down 7% year over year, representing approximately 18% of total revenues. If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, total IT revenue would have decreased 7% year over year.
  • Global Client IT revenue was $91 million, down 5% year over year. If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, Global Client IT revenue would have decreased 5% year over year.
  • GE IT revenue was $20 million, down 17% year over year. If all 2016 revenue reclassifications had occurred on January 1, 2016, GE IT revenue would have decreased 17% year over year.

Cash Flow from Operations

  • Cash generated from operations was $31 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to cash used for operations of $10 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Revised 2017 Outlook

  • Total revenue outlook increasing by $20 million from the prior outlook to $2.63 to $2.70 billion reflecting expected revenues from our recent acquisitions (including an assumed adverse foreign exchange impact of $32 million, almost all of which is reflected in Global Client revenue). This represents growth of 2% to 5%, or 4% to 6% on a constant currency basis;
  • Global Client revenue growth improving to 5% to 8%, or 6% to 9% on a constant currency basis;
  • Adjusted income from operations margin6 of approximately 15.7%; and
  • Adjusted diluted EPS7 of $1.53 to $1.57.

Reconciliation of 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 attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted income from operations;
  • Adjusted income from operations margin;
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted diluted earnings per share; and
  • Net revenues on a constant currency basis.

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. Accordingly, 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, amortization of related acquired intangibles, and amortization of acquired intangibles at the company's formation in 2004 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 the amortization of acquired intangibles thereof, since July 2012 Genpact's management has used 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 those of its competitors. For the same reasons, beginning in April 2016, Genpact's management also excludes the impairment of acquired intangible assets from the financial statements it uses for internal management purposes.

Acquisition-related expenses are excluded in the period in which an acquisition is consummated. Genpact's management also uses financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expense. 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 such expenses allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results and those of other companies. Additionally, in its calculations of such non-GAAP financial measures, Genpact's management has adjusted certain gains, losses and impairment charges attributable to equity-method investments and gains or losses attributable to non-controlling interests because management views these interests as part of its ongoing operations. For the purpose of calculating adjusted diluted earnings per share, the combined current and deferred tax effect is determined by multiplying each pre-tax adjustment by the applicable statutory income tax rate.

Genpact's management provides information about revenues on a constant currency basis so that the revenues may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our true business performance. Revenues on a constant currency basis are calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period's foreign currency exchange rates adjusted for hedging gains/losses in such period.

Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of adjusted income from operations, adjusted income from operations margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share and revenues on a constant currency basis, 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 income from operations margin versus income from operations and adjusted income from operations margin calculated in accordance with GAAP is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain recurring costs, namely stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the GAAP amounts excluded from adjusted income from operations and adjusted income from operations margin.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these adjusted financial measures from GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017:
