- Service revenues were $341.5 million compared to $292.6 million in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $48.9 million, or 16.7%. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 16.2% over the first quarter of 2013.
- GAAP income from operations was $19.8 million, or 5.8% of service revenues, compared to $11.2 million, or 3.8% of service revenues, in the first quarter of 2013.
- Non-GAAP income from operations increased 29% to $34.2 million, or 10.0% of service revenues, compared to $26.4 million, or 9.0% of service revenues, in the first quarter of 2013.
- GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.09, compared to $0.04 in the first quarter of 2013.
- Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.16, compared to $0.11 in the first quarter of 2013.
“We are pleased with our strong first quarter results and the growth across all three business units,” said Sapient Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman Alan J. Herrick. “We are in a good position strategically and continue to see opportunities for growth across the business.”
The company used cash from operations of $42.5 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to a use of $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the company had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $277.5 million. Days sales outstanding was 71 days for the first quarter of 2014, up from 63 days in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 65 days in the first quarter of 2013.
Outlook
Sapient management provided the following guidance:
- For the second quarter ending June 30, 2014, service revenues are expected to be in the range of $350 million to $360 million.
- Second quarter 2014 non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be in the range of $44 million to $50 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Sapient provides non-GAAP financial measures to complement reported GAAP results. 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. The company 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, restructuring and other related (benefits) charges, amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition costs and other related charges, impairment of intangible assets and any other items identified as non-GAAP in the Company’s publicly filed financial statements on Forms 10-K and 10-Qs. In addition, the company may present service revenues in constant currency terms, which excludes the effect of currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the entity in which the revenue was transacted. The effect is excluded by translating the current period's local currency service revenues into U.S. dollars using the average local currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior period of comparison. Because the company’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 the company’s industry. Consequently, Sapient’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.

(1) In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred a $2.8 million one-time project personnel expense charge to reimburse employees for costs incurred as part of a restructuring of a global travel program. As this is unrelated to current operations, and neither comparable to prior periods nor predictive of future results, the Company has excluded it from the non-GAAP income from operations in evaluating management performance.
