“We are pleased to deliver yet another quarter of industry-leading revenue growth,” said Arkadiy Dobkin, CEO and President of EPAM Systems. “During this time of significant technological change impacting our clients, we are continuing to prove and enhance our competitive differentiation, in particular our  strong hands-on knowledge of emerging technologies combined with rapidly improving domain expertise, and the sophistication of our global delivery platform.”

Recognition
EPAM was named number 2 on the Forbes’ list of “America’s Best Small Companies: 20 Fast-Growing Tech Stars” released by Forbes on October 9, 2013. Forbes’ annual list of America’s Best Small Public Companies highlights the 100 best-performing public companies with sales below $1 billion ranked according to their stock performance, return on equity, sales growth, and earnings growth over the past year and over five years. Based on the ranking, Forbes sub-divided the listed companies into the fastest growing “tech stars,” where EPAM is the highest ranked Information Technology company. Earlier this year, EPAM was named to Forbes’ list of America’s 25 fastest-growing tech companies underscoring the Company’s status as one of the most rapidly developing software engineering and IT consulting companies in America.
EPAM was positioned in Zinnov’s Global R&D Service Provider Ratings (GSPR) for 2013 as a Leading Consumer Software Service Provider and a Leading Software/ ISV R&D Service Provider in the Consumer and Enterprise Software categories, respectively.
The Everest group recognized EPAM as a “2013 Capital Markets AO Market Star Performer” (registering a strong year-on-year positive movement both on delivery capability and market success), for the second year in row. Only five of out of the 20 assessed providers have received the “star performer” status.
Outlook
“Our business model allows us to maintain stable margins while investing in critical areas of our business, and at same time delivering superior revenue growth,” continued Mr. Dobkin. “Healthy demand in the third quarter of 2013 resulted in broad-based growth across our verticals, geographies, and services, driving revenue and EPS outperformance, which allowed us to raise our guidance early. We are pleased to maintain our recently updated guidance as we continue to see a very positive demand environment.”
Based on current conditions, EPAM reiterates its recently increased full year guidance of expected year-over-year revenue growth in the range of $542 million to $545 million. Non-GAAP net income growth for 2013 is expected to be in the range of 15% to 20% year-over-year, with an effective tax rate of approximately 19%.
For the fourth quarter of 2013, EPAM expects revenues between $144 million and $147 million, representing a growth rate of 15% to 18% over fourth quarter 2012 revenues. Fourth quarter 2013 non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.44 to $0.47 based on an estimated fourth quarter 2013 weighted average of 49.2 million diluted shares.

The company is also included in the top 30 in IAOP’s “The 2013 Global Outsourcing 100” list.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EPAM supplements results reported in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in EPAM’s business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing EPAM’s business and evaluating its performance. Management also believes these measures help investors compare EPAM’s operating performance with its results in prior periods and compare EPAM and similar companies. EPAM anticipates that it will continue to report both GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures in its financial results, including non-GAAP results that exclude stock-based compensation expense, write-off and recovery, amortization of purchased intangible assets, goodwill impairment, legal settlement, foreign exchange gains and losses, and acquisition-related costs. However, because EPAM’s reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated according to GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not necessarily be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures reported by other companies within EPAM’s industry. Consequently, EPAM’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but, rather, should be considered together with its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared according to GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements

Non-GAAP weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 48,720 and 46,501 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 48,120 and 45,803 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share presents non-GAAP net income divided by Non-GAAP weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Non-GAAP weighted average diluted common shares outstanding assumes (i) the 2.9 million shares EPAM sold in its February 2012 initial public offering were outstanding as of January 1, 2012, and (ii) the conversion of the outstanding preferred stock into common stock on an as-converted basis.
