NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact Limited (NYSE: G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering digital transformation, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

"Our second quarter performance saw Global Client revenue return to double-digit growth earlier than we anticipated. Driven by accelerated momentum in Transformation Services, particularly in Analytics, and the strength of our Intelligent Operations business, we exceeded our expectations on the top line, bottom line, and cash flow," said "Tiger" Tyagarajan, Genpact's president and CEO.  "Our strategic investments in services such as supply chain, sales & commercial, and financial crimes & risk are proving to be extremely relevant for our clients, opening many new opportunities to create value in areas beyond just cost and productivity." 

Key Financial Results – Second Quarter 2021

  • Total revenue was $988 million, up 10% year-over-year (7% on a constant currency basis)1.
  • Revenue from Global Clients was $893 million, up 14%2 year-over-year (11% on a constant currency basis)1,2 representing 90% of total revenue, including $10 million of revenue from certain GE-divested businesses that is now included in Global Client revenue. Excluding the revenue from such GE-divested businesses, revenue from Global Clients increased 13% year over year (10% on a constant currency basis)1.
  • Revenue from GE was $95 million, down 19% year-over-year, representing 10% of total revenue. This excludes $10 million of revenue from certain GE-divested businesses that is now included as Global Client revenue. If the revenue from these GE-divested businesses had been counted as GE revenue in the second quarter of 2021, revenue from GE would have decreased 10% year-over-year.
  • Net income was $103 million, up 65% year-over-year, with a corresponding margin of 10.4%.
  • Income from operations was $137 million, up 52% year-over-year, with a corresponding margin of 13.9%. Adjusted income from operations was $177 million, up 22% year-over-year, with a corresponding margin of 17.9%.4
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.53, up 66% year-over-year, and adjusted diluted earnings per share3 was $0.66, up 27% year-over-year.
  • Cash generated from operations was $161 million, compared to $192 million during the second quarter of 2020.

Full Year 2021 Outlook

Genpact now expects:

  • Total revenue for the full year of $3.96 to $4.0 billion, up 7.0% to 8.0%, or 5.5% to 6.5% on a constant currency basis,1 increased from the prior full-year outlook of $3.93 to $3.99 billion, up 6.0% to 7.5%, or 5.0% to 6.5% on a constant currency basis.1
  • Global Client revenue growth in the range of 10.5% to 11.5%, or 9% to 10% on a constant currency basis,1 increased from the prior outlook of 9.0% to 11.0%, or 8.0% to 10.0% on a constant currency basis.1
  • Adjusted income from operations margin5 of approximately 16.5%, increased from the prior outlook of approximately 16.0%.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS6 of $2.36 to $2.39, increased from the prior outlook of $2.27 to $2.30.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Adjusted income from operations;
  • Adjusted income from operations margin;
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share; and
  • Revenue growth 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 recorded 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 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, since April 2016 Genpact's management has excluded 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. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the second quarter of 2020 the Company initiated several restructuring measures.  In connection with the restructuring, the Company recorded non-recurring charges related to the following: i) right-of-use lease assets and other assets related to certain abandoned leased office properties in the second quarter of 2020, and ii) employee severance costs related to a focused reduction in Genpact's workforce in the second quarter of 2020.  Genpact's management believes that excluding such charges provides useful information to both management and investors regarding the Company's financial performance and underlying business trends. Additionally, in its calculations of non-GAAP financial measures, Genpact's management has adjusted foreign exchange gains and losses, interest income and expense and income tax expenses from GAAP net income, and other income and expenses, and certain gains, losses and impairment charges attributable to equity-method investments from GAAP income from operations, because management believes that the Company's results after taking into account these adjustments more accurately reflect the Company's ongoing operations. In its calculations of adjusted diluted earnings per share, Genpact's management adds back adjusted stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses and restructuring expenses and the related tax impact of such adjustments from GAAP diluted earnings per share. 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 compared to prior fiscal periods, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the Company's true business performance. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is 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 revenue growth 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, income from operations margin, net income and net income margin calculated in accordance with GAAP is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain recurring costs and certain other charges, namely stock-based compensation expense and amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets. 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 non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021:
