Westborough, MA — (January 26, 2011) — Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ: VRTU), a global information technology (IT) services company that provides IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing services through an enhanced global delivery model, today reported financial results for the third quarter fiscal year 2011, ended December 31, 2010.

 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results

 

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $55.6 million, an increase of 33% year-over-year and 6% sequentially.  On a constant currency basis (1), third quarter fiscal 2011 revenue increased 34% year-over-year and 5% sequentially.

 

Virtusa reported income from operations of $5.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase compared to $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, and an increase compared to $4.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased to $4.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, and $3.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.   Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 included $0.5 million of foreign currency transaction losses.

 

Virtusa ended the third quarter of fiscal 2011 with $103.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments (2).  The Company generated cash from operations of $8.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are pleased with third quarter performance which was driven by broad based growth.  We are enthusiastic about the increasing investment in areas such as cloud, social and mobile computing.   This is necessitating programs to rationalize IT applications, accelerate time to market and improve the consumer experience.  Our expertise positions us well to partner with our clients and lead them through this transformation.”

 



 

Ranjan Kalia, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We are pleased with our revenue growth and our ability to further optimize our operations, resulting in operating margin expansion both sequentially and year-over-year.”  Mr. Kalia continued, “Our current guidance calls for another quarter of strong sequential revenue increase and robust full fiscal year 2011 growth.”

 

Financial Outlook

 

Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:

 

·                  Fourth quarter fiscal 2011 revenue is expected to be in the range of $57.3 to $59.3 million, with diluted EPS of $0.19 to $0.23.

 

·                  Fiscal year 2011 revenue is expected to be in the range of $217 to $219 million, with diluted EPS of $0.64 to $0.68.

 

The Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011 diluted EPS estimates assume an average share count of approximately 25.1 million and 24.7 million, respectively (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards), and assume a stock price of $17.12 per share, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on January 25, 2011.  Deviations from this stock price may cause actual EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

(1)           To determine year-over-year constant currency revenue for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2011, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. pound sterling was converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate in effect for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of 1.63 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended December 31, 2010 of 1.58 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling.  To determine sequential revenue change in constant currency for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2011, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. pounds sterling was converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of 1.55 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended December 31, 2010 of 1.58 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling.

(2)           The Company considers the measure of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments to be a more meaningful indicator of the Company’s overall liquidity.  All of the Company’s investments, other than certain auction-rate securities, are classified as available-for-sale, including the Company’s long-term investments which consist of fixed income securities, including government agency bonds and municipal and corporate bonds, which meet the credit rating and diversification requirements of the Company’s investment policy as approved by the Company’s audit committee and board of directors.

 

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined by Regulation G by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Virtusa presents constant currency revenue 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) above for further detail).  Virtusa also presents a reconciliation of its cash, cash equivalents, short term and long term investments which it believes provides insight into its cash position and overall liquidity (see footnote (2) above for further detail).   While Virtusa’s management believes that these non-GAAP revenue measures and cash reconciliation presentations are useful in evaluating Virtusa’s revenue and cash position and overall liquidity, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
