Over the last few years, we have been building Amdocs to support the next wave of growth, executing on our strategy of delivering market-leading innovation that is well aligned with the industry’s need for digital modernization, 5G monetization, journey to the cloud and network automation. We are at an exciting inflection point in our business as fiscal year 2021 revenue growth accelerated to 7.0% on a pro forma(2) constant currency(3) basis. We ended the year on a strong note, setting us up to continue to capture momentum as we enter fiscal year 2022. To that end, we are thrilled that AT&T has selected us for next-gen cloud operations of its business support systems evolution (BSSe) under a long-term agreement, on top of choosing our cloud-native products for the BSSe program earlier this year. We believe this reflects our relentless dedication to driving customer success across cloud journeys for the world’s leading communications service providers,” said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

“Amdocs continues to lead the industry with innovative platforms and exceptional delivery, as demonstrated by a record number of production milestones we achieved for our customers in Q4 and for the full 2021 fiscal year. Moreover, we delivered improved profitability in fiscal 2021 and achieved our best-ever level of cash collections. As a result, we delivered record normalized free cash flow generation of $869 million for fiscal 2021 and returned a similar amount to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly cash dividend payments,” said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer & chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer concluded, “As we look ahead to fiscal year 2022, we believe we are in the early innings of a multi-year 5G and cloud-driven investment and transformation cycle. We see a rich pipeline of opportunity across the communications industry to enable our customers to create amazing experiences for consumers and enterprises. We believe our advantaged competitive position, growing customer relationships, highly skilled talent and disruptive innovation approach will further extend our lead in the market. Tying it altogether, we expect to deliver accelerated revenue growth of roughly 8%(5) in fiscal 2022.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow and normalized free cash flow, revenue on a constant currency(3) basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth. These other non-GAAP measures exclude the following items:         

  • amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs;
  • changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value;
  • non-recurring and unusual charges or benefits (such as a gain from divestiture of OpenMarket);
  • equity-based compensation expense;
  • other; and
  • tax effects related to the above.

Free cash flow equals cash generated by operating activities less net capital expenditures and other. Normalized free cash flow, a measure of our operating performance, is further adjusted to exclude net capital expenditures related to the new campus development, payments for non-recurring and unusual charges (such as capital gains tax in relation to the divestiture of OpenMarket), and payments of acquisition related liabilities. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Amdocs believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Amdocs’ results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Amdocs’ results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Amdocs believes that the presentation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other financial measures, including free cash flow and normalized free cash flow, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the net amount of cash generated by its business operations after taking into account capital spending required to maintain or expand the business.

For its internal budgeting process and in monitoring the results of the business, Amdocs’ management uses financial statements that do not include amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value, non-recurring and unusual charges or benefits, equity-based compensation expense, other and related tax effects. Amdocs’ management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Amdocs. In addition, Amdocs believes that significant groups of investors exclude these items in reviewing its results and those of its competitors, because the amounts of the items between companies can vary greatly depending on the assumptions used by an individual company in determining the amounts of the items.

Amdocs further believes that, where the adjustments used in calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are based on specific, identified amounts that impact different line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income (including cost of revenue, research and development, selling, general and administrative, operating income, interest and other expenses, net, income taxes and net income), it is useful to investors to understand how these specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income are affected by these adjustments. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Selected Financial Metrics from GAAP to Non-GAAP tables below.
