Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with $208.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments (2).Cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Share Repurchase Program

Virtusa’s board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $30 million over the next 12 months. Repurchases will be financed primarily through the Company’s existing credit facility as well as cash on hand. Virtusa is authorized to repurchase shares in open market purchases as well as in privately negotiated transactions from time to time in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time and will depend upon market conditions and other factors.

Management Commentary

Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “Our fiscal first quarter results were in line with our expectations. Looking to the remainder of fiscal 2020, a near-term reduction in spend at one of our European banking clients, and increased currency headwinds are impacting our guidance. Notwithstanding this one client, with whom we maintain a strong partnership and anticipate resumed growth in fiscal Q4 2020, our strategy remains on track, demand is robust, and our client portfolio is as strong as it has ever been. Deep digital transformation continues to be a significant part of our clients’ agenda in all industries. This long-term trend fits squarely with our core competency, hence we are excited about the opportunities ahead.”

Mr. Canekeratne continued, “Our new share repurchase plan demonstrates our confidence in our business model and our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders. We have ample financial flexibility to opportunistically repurchase our stock, while also continuing to invest in our growth.”

Ranjan Kalia, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We delivered first quarter fiscal 2020 revenue and EPS results above the midpoint of our guidance. Our full fiscal year 2020 revenue guidance is impacted by reduced spending at one of our European banking clients, as well as increased FX headwinds primarily from a weaker Pound. Notwithstanding this one client, the rest of our business continues to grow in line with our prior expectations on a constant currency basis.”

Financial Outlook

Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:

  • Second quarter fiscal 2020 revenue is expected to be in the range of $323 to $331 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.22 to $0.28. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.49 to $0.55.
  • Fiscal year 2020 revenue is expected to be in the range of $1,326 to $1,354 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.39 to $1.59. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.45 to $2.65.

In accordance with US GAAP, Virtusa applies the if-converted method to its convertible preferred shares when reporting its fiscal year 2020 results. The if-converted method is used to calculate the share impact of convertible securities. Under this method, only when the convertible securities are considered dilutive are they then included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding in reported results and full year guidance.

  • First quarter GAAP EPS was calculated by including the impact of dividends and accretion on the convertible preferred shares in net income available to common stockholders and excluding the impact of the convertible preferred shares from the weighted average shares outstanding as these shares were anti-dilutive on a GAAP basis. First quarter non-GAAP EPS was calculated by excluding the impact of dividends and accretion on the convertible preferred shares from net income available to common stockholders and including the impact of the convertible preferred shares in the weighted average shares outstanding as these shares were dilutive on a non-GAAP basis.
  • Second quarter fiscal 2020 GAAP EPS guidance was calculated under the assumption that these convertible preferred shares will be anti-dilutive. Thus, in determining second quarter fiscal 2020 GAAP EPS guidance, dividends and accretion on the convertible preferred shares are deducted from net income available to common stockholders and the convertible preferred shares have been excluded from weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Third and Fourth quarter fiscal 2020 GAAP EPS guidance was calculated under the assumption that these convertible preferred shares will be dilutive. Thus, in determining third and fourth quarter fiscal 2020 GAAP EPS guidance, dividends and accretion on the convertible preferred shares are excluded from net income available to common stockholders and the impact of the convertible preferred shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Fiscal 2020 non-GAAP EPS guidance was calculated under the assumption that these convertible preferred shares will be dilutive for the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2020. Thus, in determining full fiscal year 2020 non-GAAP EPS guidance, dividends and accretion on the convertible preferred shares are excluded from net income available to common stockholders and the impact of the convertible preferred shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding.

The Company’s second quarter and fiscal year 2020 diluted GAAP EPS estimates are based on average share counts of approximately 31.0 million and 32.6 million, respectively. The Company’s second quarter and fiscal year 2020 diluted Non-GAAP EPS estimates are based on average share counts of approximately 34.0 million and 34.1 million, respectively. GAAP and Non-GAAP average share counts assume a stock price of $45.10, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on August 2, 2019.
