Management Commentary

Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “Deep digital is becoming a significant part of our clients’ transformation agenda in all industries, and Virtusa is incredibly well positioned to capitalize on this multi-year wave. Our years of investment in deepening our industry knowledge and expanding our digital engineering competency are elevating our status as the digital partner of choice for our clients. Virtusa’s differentiated skills and capabilities are the source of our competitive advantage, and we are confident we will continue to play a leadership role in digital and be a market share winner.”

Ranjan Kalia, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We are pleased with our full fiscal year 2019 financial and operating results, including 22% year-over-year revenue growth, 140 basis points of non-GAAP operating margin improvement, and 30% year-over-year non-GAAP EPS growth. Looking ahead, our FY 2020 guidance assumes a slower than previously expected start to the fiscal year, but we are well-positioned to generate double-digit revenue growth, non-GAAP margin accretion of 100 basis points, and strong non-GAAP EPS growth of 27% at the midpoint of our guidance.”

Financial Outlook

Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:

First quarter fiscal 2020 revenue is expected to be in the range of $313.0 to $321.0 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.11 to $0.16. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.37 to $0.43.
Fiscal year 2020 revenue is expected to be in the range of $1,359 to $1,399 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.53 to $1.76. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.58 to $2.82.

In accordance with US GAAP, Virtusa applies the if-converted method to its convertible preferred shares when reporting its fiscal year 2019 and 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.

Fourth 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. Fourth 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.
First and Second quarter fiscal 2020 GAAP EPS guidance was calculated under the assumption that these convertible preferred shares will be anti-dilutive. Thus, in determining first and 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.
Non-GAAP EPS guidance was calculated under the assumption that these convertible preferred shares will be dilutive for the entire fiscal year 2020, which is consistent with non-GAAP fiscal year 2019. 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 first quarter and fiscal year 2020 diluted GAAP EPS estimates are based on average share counts of approximately 31.0 million and 32.7 million, respectively. The Company’s first quarter and fiscal year 2020 diluted Non-GAAP EPS estimates are based on average share counts of approximately 34.0 million and 34.2 million, respectively. GAAP and Non-GAAP average share counts assume a stock price of $53.48, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on May 10, 2019. Deviations from this stock price may cause actual diluted EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Regulation G by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with Virtusa’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Virtusa believes the following financial measures will provide additional insights to measure the operational performance of the business.

Virtusa presents constant currency revenue growth rates to provide insights into, and a framework for assessing, how Virtusa's revenue performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations (see footnote 1).
Virtusa presents a reconciliation of its cash and cash equivalents to total cash, cash equivalents, short term and long term investments which Virtusa believes provides insight into its cash position and overall liquidity (see footnote 2).
Virtusa also presents the following consolidated statements of income (loss) measures that exclude, when applicable, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related charges, restructuring charges, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, impairment of investments, impairment of long-lived assets, non-recurring third party financing costs, the tax impact of dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, the initial impact of our election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for US tax purposes, and the impact from the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (“Tax Act”) to provide further insights into the comparison of Virtusa’s operating results among the periods:
- Non-GAAP income from operations: income from operations, as reported on Virtusa’s consolidated statements of income (loss), excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related charges and restructuring charges.
- Non-GAAP operating margin: non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of reported revenues.
- Non-GAAP net income available to Virtusa common stockholders: net income (loss) available to Virtusa common stockholders, as reported on our consolidated statements of income (loss), excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition related charges, restructuring charges, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, impairment of investments, impairment of long-lived assets, non-recurring third party financing costs, the tax impact of the above items, the initial impact of our election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for US tax purposes, the tax impact of dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, and the impact from the Tax Act.
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share: diluted earnings (loss) per share, as reported on Virtusa’s consolidated statements of income (loss) available to Virtusa common stockholders, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition related charges, restructuring charges, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, impairment of investments, impairment of long-lived assets, non-recurring third party financing costs, the tax impact of the above items, the initial impact of our election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for US tax purposes, the tax impact of dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, and the impact from the Tax Act. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is also subject to dilutive and anti-dilutive requirements of the if-converted method related to our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that could result in a difference between GAAP to non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Footnotes

(1) To determine sequential revenue change in constant currency for the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. Pounds (GBP), Euros, and Swedish Krona (SEK) were converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect for the three months ended December 31, 2018, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2019. To determine year-over-year revenue change in constant currency for the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. Pounds (GBP), Euros, and Swedish Krona (SEK) were converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2018, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

For additional disclosure regarding these and other risks faced by Virtusa, see the disclosure contained in Virtusa's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Virtusa’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
