WNS Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2010 Earnings Updates Guidance for Fiscal 2011

Friday, May 21, 2010
Quarterly and Annual Revenue Increases 24.6% and 11.8% Over the Corresponding Period in the Prior Fiscal Year (as Restated); Quarterly and Annual Revenue Less Repair Payments Increases 1.8% and 1.4% Over the Corresponding Period in the Prior Fiscal Year (as Restated)

NEW YORK, NY and MUMBAI, INDIA, May 21, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global business process outsourcing (BPO) services, today announced results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2010, and updated its guidance on revenue less repair payments and adjusted net income (ANI) (or net income attributable to WNS shareholders excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain/loss attributable to non-controlling interest) for fiscal 2011, due to the increased volatility in exchange rates.

Fiscal Q4 2010

Revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter 2010 of $157.6 million represented an increase of 24.6% over the corresponding quarter in the prior fiscal year, while revenue less repair payments at $96.7 million increased 1.8% over the corresponding quarter in the prior fiscal year. The growth in revenue less repair payments largely resulted from the impact of a stronger British Pound (GBP), and increased transaction volumes from new clients. This growth was offset by transaction volume declines in the travel and insurance industries and the second year pricing terms for the Aviva Global Services (AGS) contract.

Net income for the fiscal fourth quarter 2010 was $1.0 million compared to $2.5 million during the corresponding quarter in the prior fiscal year. The net income in the fiscal fourth quarter was impacted primarily by the stronger Indian Rupee (INR), transaction volume declines in the travel and insurance industries, one-time severance costs of $2.1 million associated with changes in senior management, and lower revenues resulting from the second year pricing terms for the AGS contract. This decline was partially offset by tighter cost management and improved scale benefits.

Adjusted net income was $13.3 million, a decline of 2.6% over the corresponding quarter in the prior year. The primary drivers of this decline were similar to those highlighted in the prior paragraph.

"As I discussed on our April 22 call, we are very focused on our strategic initiatives and expanding our client relationships," said Keshav Murugesh, Group Chief Executive Officer. "We have an active sales pipeline and are developing a more client-centric approach to existing work. Along with opportunities we see in developing new service offerings, we will be well-positioned to achieve long-term growth in our top and bottom lines."

WNS recorded a diluted income per ADS of $0.02 for the fiscal fourth quarter 2010. Adjusted diluted net income per ADS (or diluted income attributable to WNS shareholders per ADS excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and loss attributable to non-controlling interest) was $0.30 for the quarter.

Fiscal Year 2010

For the fiscal year 2010, WNS achieved revenue of $582.5 million, representing an increase of 11.8% over the prior fiscal year. Revenue less repair payments of $390.5 million increased 1.4% over the prior year. The growth in revenue less repair payments was largely a result of increased revenue from new and existing clients. This growth was offset by the decline in the GBP/USD exchange rate.

Net income for the full year ended March 31, 2010 was $3.7 million compared to $8.2 million in the prior fiscal year. The net income decrease was a result of the full year impact from interest and amortization charges from the AGS acquisition, foreign exchange losses, lower revenue resulting from the second year pricing terms of the AGS contract, one-time severance costs of $2.1 million associated with changes in senior management and lower transaction volumes in the travel and insurance spaces. These were partially offset by improved synergies in operations from our acquisitions, tighter cost management, improved scale benefits and lower interest expense during the second half of the year resulting from WNS's debt payments.

However, adjusted net income was $50.7 million, an increase of 8.6% over fiscal 2009.

Net income in fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 2009 included higher amortization and share-based compensation charges. Net income and adjusted net income results also reflected $1 million in one-time costs associated with the unwinding of interest rate swaps from a $15 million prepayment WNS made on its term loan in January 2010.

WNS recorded a diluted income per ADS of $0.08 for the fiscal year 2010. Adjusted diluted net income per ADS was $1.15 for the year.

"We expect to have lower interest expense and aim to improve our operating metrics in fiscal 2011. As such, we should continue to generate a strong amount of cash and maintain our adjusted operating margins," said Alok Misra, Group Chief Financial Officer.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP operating results as also the effects of the financial statement adjustments on WNS's previously reported consolidated financial statements are included at the end of this release.

Restatement of Audited Financial Statements

On April 22, 2010, WNS announced that it had, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that corrections to its prior accounting treatment for referral fees earned from garages and, revenues and costs on completed but unbilled repairs, in its Auto Claims BPO segment (the AutoClaims business) are required.

The financial information included in this press release reflects these accounting changes. WNS will restate its audited financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (as well as selected financial information for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the quarterly information for fiscal 2010 and 2009) to reflect these accounting changes and intends to include the restated financial information in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal 2010. All prior period financial information contained in this press release gives effect to the restatement of WNS consolidated financials.

Based on its evaluation, management has concluded that as of March 31, 2010, WNS's disclosure control and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective due to a material weakness identified in the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's controls over the recognition and accrual of repair payments to garages and the related fees in its Auto Claims BPO segment. In order to remediate the identified material weakness, management intends to augment its existing US GAAP expertise and strengthen its monitoring controls and documentation for the revenue recognition process in the Auto Claims BPO segment.

Fiscal 2011 Guidance

WNS is updating its guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 provided on April 22, 2010 due to the increased volatility in exchange rates:

  • Revenue less repair payments is now expected to be between $353 million and $378 million. This assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.45 for the 2011 fiscal year.
  • Adjusted net income (or net income attributable to WNS shareholders excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain/loss attributable to non-controlling interest) is expected to range between $43 million and $46 million. This assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 46.5 for the 2011 fiscal year.

"When we had provided our initial guidance for Fiscal 2011 on 22 April, the prevailing GBP to USD exchange rate was 1.53 whereas it has dropped to 1.45 in the last few days. Our updated guidance reflects this depreciation of the British Pound on the revenue while the impact on the ANI is partly offset by the depreciation in the Indian Rupee," continued Misra. "While we see these headwinds, the BPO market is ripe with opportunity and WNS is in a solid position to take advantage of the growth opportunities within the space."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures For financial statement reporting purposes, the company has two reportable segments: WNS Global BPO and WNS Auto Claims BPO. In the auto claims segment, which includes WNS Assistance and Chang Limited, WNS provides claims-handling and accident-management services, in which it arranges for automobile repairs through a network of third-party repair centers. In its accident-management services, WNS acts as the principal in dealings with the third-party repair centers and clients.

In order to provide accident-management services, the Company arranges for the repair through a network of repair centers. Repair costs are invoiced to customers. Amounts invoiced to customers for repair costs paid to the automobile repair centers are recognized as revenue. The Company uses revenue less repair payments for "fault" repairs as a primary measure to allocate resources and measure segment performance. Revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated as revenue less payments to repair centers. For "non fault repairs," revenue including repair payments is used as a primary measure. As the Company provides a consolidated suite of accident management services including credit hire and credit repair for its "Non fault" repairs business, the Company believes that measurement of that line of business has to be on a basis that includes repair payments in revenue.

The Company believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP measure in the segmental information provides useful information for investors regarding the segment's financial performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
