* See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the
reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to our
GAAP operating results at the end of this release.
Revenue in the fourth quarter was $159.4 million, representing an 11.7%
increase versus Q4 of last year and a 9.6% increase from the previous
quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the fourth quarter was $154.1
million, an increase of 13.9% year-over-year and 10.2% sequentially.
Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair
payments* in the fiscal fourth quarter grew 19.1% versus Q4 of last year
and 9.9% sequentially. Year-over-year, fiscal Q4 revenue was impacted by
currency movements net of hedging, primarily related to depreciation in
the British pound against the US dollar. This headwind was more than
offset by broad-based revenue growth across key verticals from both new
and existing clients. Year-over-year revenue also increased as a result
of the company’s acquisitions of Value Edge, Denali and HealthHelp.
Sequentially, revenue growth was driven by acquisitions, improved
farming activities, new client wins, and one-time revenue benefits from
project extensions, gain sharing and client transition work.
WNS recorded an operating loss margin in the fourth quarter of (2.0%),
as compared to operating profit margin of 13.2% in Q4 of last year and
14.2% in the previous quarter. In Q4, WNS recorded a non-recurring $21.7
million charge for goodwill impairment relating to the AutoClaims
business. The company believes this impairment charge was necessary
given developments in Q4 including the proposed regulatory changes in
the legal services market which will result in WNS exiting this part of
the business, and the loss of business due to contract reductions and
cancellations in the traditional repair business. On a year-over-year
basis, margin reductions were driven by goodwill impairment,
acquisition-related expenses, the impact of our annual wage increases,
and currency movements net of hedging. These headwinds were partially
offset by a step-down in amortization of intangible asset expense and
increased operating leverage from higher volumes. Sequentially, margins
were pressured by goodwill impairment, acquisition-related expenses,
hiring in advance of large deal ramps, and currency net of hedging which
more than offset benefits from the step-down in amortization of
intangible asset expense and increased operating leverage on higher
volumes.
Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin* was 18.1%, versus 22.0% in Q4
of last year and 21.3% last quarter. On both a year-over-year and
sequential basis, adjusted operating margin* reduced for the same
reasons discussed for GAAP operating margin, with the exception of
impacts relating to goodwill impairment and amortization of intangible
asset expense. The goodwill impairment charge has been excluded from
adjusted operating margin* and adjusted net income (ANI)* as it is
non-recurring in nature.
In the fiscal fourth quarter, WNS recorded a loss of ($5.0) million, as
compared to profits of $15.9 million in Q4 of last year and $18.0
million in the previous quarter. Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q4 was
$24.0 million, up $0.6 million as compared to Q4 of last year and down
$1.2 million from the previous quarter.
From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q4 with $182.2 million in
cash and investments and $116.7 million of debt. In the fourth quarter,
the company generated $30.7 million in cash from operations, had $7.4
million in capital expenditures and spent $117.8 million on
acquisitions. Days sales outstanding were 29 days, as compared to 28
days in Q4 of last year and 30 days reported in the previous quarter.
“Our business continues to perform well, as evidenced by Q4 constant
currency revenue growth of 19.1%, healthy adjusted operating margins and
strong adjusted diluted earnings per share. We also acquired two new
strategic businesses in the fourth quarter, with Denali enhancing our
high-end procurement capabilities, and HealthHelp providing us with a
technology-led, analytics-driven offering in care management,” said
Keshav Murugesh, WNS’ Chief Executive Officer. “Overall, we are pleased
with our fiscal 2017 performance, including constant currency revenue
growth of 15.8%, adjusted operating margins of 19.4% and adjusted
earnings per diluted share of $1.74. WNS also completed three tuck-in
acquisitions and repurchased 2.2 million shares of stock during the year.
“Entering fiscal 2018, we are excited about WNS’ strategic positioning
and business momentum. Our clients’ businesses are becoming increasingly
complex and competitive, necessitating changes to how they approach
their respective markets. WNS is helping clients deal with business
disruption by delivering the right combination of domain expertise,

Fiscal 2018 Guidance
WNS is providing guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 as
follows:
-
Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $680 million
and $713 million, up from $578.4 million in fiscal 2017. This assumes
an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.25 in fiscal 2018 versus 1.31
in fiscal 2017.
-
ANI* is expected to range between $97 million and $105 million versus
$92.2 million in fiscal 2017. This assumes an average USD to INR
exchange rate of 64.5 in fiscal 2018 versus 67.1 in fiscal 2017.
-
Based on a diluted share count of 51.5 million shares, the company
expects adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS to be in the range of $1.88
to $2.04 versus $1.74 in fiscal 2017.
“The company has provided our initial forecast for fiscal 2018 based on
current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Sanjay Puria, WNS’s
Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the year reflects growth in
revenue less repair payments* of 18% to 23%, or 19% to 25% on a constant
currency* basis. Consistent with our guidance methodology in previous
years, we enter fiscal 2018 with 90% visibility to the midpoint of the
range. For the year, we expect capital expenditures to be in the range
of $28 million to $30 million.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information in this release includes certain non-GAAP
financial measures that we believe more accurately reflect our core
operating performance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial
measures to our GAAP operating results are included below. A more
detailed discussion of our GAAP results is contained in “Part I –Item 5.
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our annual report on
Form 20-F to be filed with the SEC in due course.
For financial statement reporting purposes, WNS has two reportable
segments: WNS Global BPM and WNS Auto Claims BPM. Revenue less repair
payments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a)
revenue less (b) in the auto claims business, payments to repair centers
for “fault” repair cases where WNS acts as the principal in its dealings
with the third party repair centers and its clients. WNS believes that
revenue less repair payments for “fault” repairs reflects more
accurately the value addition of the business process management
services that it directly provides to its clients. For more details,
please see the discussion in “Part I – Item 5. Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects – Overview” in our annual report on Form 20-F to be
filed with the SEC in due course.
Constant currency revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial
measure. We present constant currency revenue less repair payments so
that revenue less repair payments may be viewed without the impact of
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating
period-to-period comparisons of business performance. Constant currency
revenue less repair payments is presented by recalculating prior
period’s revenue less repair payments denominated in currencies other
than in US dollars using the foreign exchange rate used for the latest
period, without taking into account the impact of hedging gains/losses.
Our non-US dollar denominated revenues include, but are not limited to,
revenues denominated in pound sterling, South African rand, Australian
dollar and euro.
WNS also presents (1) adjusted operating margin, which refers to
adjusted operating profit (calculated as operating profit / (loss)
excluding goodwill impairment, share-based expense and amortization of
intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, and
(2) ANI, which is calculated as profit excluding goodwill impairment,
share-based expense and amortization of intangible assets and including
the tax effect thereon, and other non-GAAP financial measures included
in this release as supplemental measures of its performance. WNS
presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they
assist investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods
on a consistent basis by excluding items that are non-recurring in
nature and those it believes are not indicative of its core operating
performance. In addition, it uses these non-GAAP financial measures (i)
as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining
incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of its
business strategies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’s financial
results prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue,
profit and earnings per ADS without unreasonable efforts for a number of
reasons, including our inability to predict with a reasonable degree of
certainty the payments to repair centers, our future share-based
compensation expense under IFRS 2 (Share Based payments), amortization
of intangibles associated with future acquisitions, goodwill impairment
and currency fluctuations. As a result, any attempt to provide a
reconciliation of the forward-looking GAAP financial measures (revenue,
profit, earnings per ADS) to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial
measures (revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted
earnings* per ADS respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that
we do not believe is reasonable.

intangible assets and share-based compensation expense). The company’s
non-GAAP tax expense is generally higher than its GAAP tax expense if
the income subject to taxes is higher considering the effect of the
items excluded from GAAP profit to arrive at non-GAAP profit.
* Goodwill being non-tax deductible, there is no impact on tax thereon
