Q2 FY2022

OUTLOOK:
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022:
Endava expects revenues will be in the range £161.0 million to £163.0 million, representing constant currency revenue growth of between 44.0% and 45.0%. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £0.42 to £0.44 per share.

Full Fiscal Year 2022:
Endava expects revenues will be in the range of £636.0 million to £640.0 million, representing constant currency growth of between 44.0% and 45.0%. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £1.80 to £1.84 per share.

This above guidance for Q3 Fiscal Year 2022 and the Full Fiscal Year 2022 assumes the exchange rates at the end of January (when the exchange rate was 1 British Pound to 1.34 US Dollar and 1.2 Euro).

Endava is not able, at this time, to provide an outlook for IFRS diluted EPS for Q3 FY2022 or FY2022 because of the unreasonable effort of estimating on a forward-looking basis certain items that are excluded from adjusted diluted EPS, including, for example, share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets and foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, the effect of which may be significant. Endava is also not able, at this time, to reconcile to an outlook for revenue growth not at constant currency because of the unreasonable effort of estimating foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, the effect of which may be significant, on a forward-looking basis.

The guidance provided above is forward-looking in nature. Actual results may differ materially. See the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS:
The Company will host a conference call at 8:00 am EST today, February 16, 2022, to review its Q2 FY2022 results.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
To supplement Endava’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow 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, revenue growth at constant currency adjusted for the sale of Endava Technology SRL, also referred to as “the Worldpay Captive” to Worldpay on August 31, 2019, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit for the period, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted 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, 2020 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 and the revenue for the comparable prior period.

Revenue growth at constant currency adjusted for the sale of the Worldpay Captive is revenue growth at constant currency adjusted to exclude the impact of the sale of the Worldpay Captive.

Adjusted profit before tax ("Adjusted PBT") is defined as the Company’s profit before tax adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets and, realised and unrealised foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, all of which are non-cash items. Adjusted PBT margin is Adjusted PBT as a percentage of total revenue.

Adjusted profit for the period is defined as Adjusted PBT together with the tax impact of these adjustments.

Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted profit for the period, divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding - diluted.

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

Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the Company's business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated
