Financial Outlook
Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:
· Third quarter fiscal 2016 revenue is expected to be in the range of $150 to $153 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.39 to $0.41 and non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.54 to $0.56.
· Fiscal year 2016 revenue is expected to be in the range of $584.6 to $591.6 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.57 to $1.63 and non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.15 to $2.21.
The Company’s third quarter and fiscal year 2016 diluted EPS both estimate an average share count of approximately 30.1 million, (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards) and assume a stock price of $56.99, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on October 30, 2015. Deviations from this stock price may cause actual EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.
