Q2 FY2019  


OUTLOOK:

For Q3 FY2019:
We expect revenues will be in the range £71.0m to £72.0m, representing constant currency growth of between 20% and 21%. We expect adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of 16.0p to 17.0p per share.

Full Fiscal Year 2019:
We expect revenues will be in the range £284.0m to £286.0m, representing constant currency growth of between 29% and 30%. We expect adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of 69.0p to 72.0p per share.

Endava is not able, at this time, to provide an outlook for IFRS diluted EPS for Q3 FY2019 or FY2019 because of the unreasonable effort of estimating certain items that are excluded from adjusted diluted EPS, including, for example, share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets, foreign currency exchange (gains) losses, the effect of which may be significant.

CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS:
The Company will host a conference call at 8:00 am EST today to review the second quarter 2019 results. To participate in Endava’s second quarter 2019 earnings conference call, please dial in at least five minutes prior to the scheduled start time (877) 683-6368 or (647) 689-5450 for international participants, Conference ID 5350136.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
To supplement Endava’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses non-IFRS measures of certain components of financial performance. These measures include: revenue growth rate at constant currency, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit for the period and free cash flow.

Revenue growth rate at constant currency is calculated by translating revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into British Pounds using the comparable foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period. For example, the average rates in effect for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 and the revenue for the comparable prior period.

Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as the Company's profit for the period adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets, realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses, fair value adjustment of contingent consideration, initial public offering expenses incurred and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness expenses incurred (all of which are non-cash other than realized foreign currency exchange gains and losses, initial public offering and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness expenses) and the tax impact of these adjustments, divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding - diluted.

Q2 FY2019  


Adjusted profit before tax is defined as the Company’s profit for the period adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses, fair value adjustment of contingent consideration, initial public offering expenses incurred and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness expenses incurred (all of which are non-cash other than realized foreign currency exchange gains and losses, initial public offering and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness expenses).

Adjusted profit for the period is defined as the Company's profit for the period adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets, realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses, fair value adjustment of contingent consideration, initial public offering expenses incurred and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness expenses incurred (all of which are non-cash other than realized foreign currency exchange gains and losses, initial public offering and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness expenses).

Free cash flow is the Company’s net cash from/(used in) operating activities, plus grants received, less net purchases of non-current (tangible and intangible) assets.

In order for Endava’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the Company has shown a reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS financial measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the Company's business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the Company's business and evaluating its performance. Endava believes the presentation of its non-IFRS financial measures enhances an investor’s overall understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS, and its non-IFRS measures may be different from non-IFRS measures used by other companies.
