Reconciliations of thenon-GAAP financial measures discussed below to our GAAP operating results are included at the end of this release. See also “AboutNon-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Revenue in the fourth quarter was $210.5 million, representing a 3.8% increase versus Q4 of last year and a 5.4% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the fourth quarter was $206.6 million, an increase of 4.2% year-over-year and a 5.5% increase sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal fourth quarter grew 9.1% versus Q4 of last year and 5.0% sequentially. Year-over-year, fiscal Q4 revenue improvement was driven by healthy organic growth across key verticals, services, and geographies, which more than offset headwinds from currency movements and hedging losses. Sequentially, revenue growth was the result of broad-based revenue strength and favorability from currency and hedging.

Operating margin in the fourth quarter was 15.3%, as compared to 14.5% in Q4 of last year and 16.7% in the previous quarter. On a year-over-year basis, margin improvement was the result of favorable currency movements net of hedging, operating leverage on higher volumes, and increased productivity. These benefits more than offset the impact of our annual wage increases. Sequentially, margins reduced due to currency movements and hedging and lower productivity associated with Q4 hiring. These headwinds more than offset lower share-based compensation expense and operating leverage on higher volumes.

Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin* was 20.8%, versus 20.4% in Q4 of last year and 23.0% last quarter. Explanations for the adjusted operating margin* movements on a year-over-year and sequential basis are the same as described for GAAP operating margins above, with the exception of share-based compensation.

Profit in the fiscal fourth quarter was $29.7 million, as compared to $24.5 million in Q4 of last year and $28.6 million in the previous quarter. Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q4 was $37.8 million, up $4.9 million as compared to Q4 of last year and down $0.1 million from the previous quarter. In addition to the operating margin favorability noted previously, year-over-year profit and ANI* were further increased by a lower effective tax rate, higher interest income, and lower debt expense. Sequentially, profit increased as a lower effective tax rate, higher interest income, and lower debt expense more than offset the impact of lower operating margin. ANI* declined sequentially, as the favorable quarter-over-quarter impact of lower share-based compensation expense is excluded from the ANI* calculation.

From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q4 with $235.8 million in cash and investments and $61.4 million of debt. In the fourth quarter, the company generated $44.9 million in cash from operations, and incurred $7.7 million in capital expenditures. Fourth quarter days sales outstanding were 30 days, as compared to 30 days reported in Q4 of last year and 32 days in the previous quarter.

“In the fiscal fourth quarter, WNS once again delivered solid operational and financial performance. Q4 revenue less repair payments* grew 4% year-over-year, or 9% on a constant currency* basis, and we added 8 new logos during the quarter. Our full year results demonstrate WNS’s differentiated positioning in the BPM marketplace and our ability to execute. For fiscal 2019, WNS grew organic, constant currency* revenue by 10%, delivered adjusted operating margin of 21%, grew adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS by 20% to $2.69, and increased our net cash position by $42.3 million,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’s Chief Executive Officer. “As we enter fiscal 2020, the BPM marketplace remains healthy with business disruption driving transformational opportunities. We believe WNS’s deep domain expertise, combined with our capabilities across technology and automation, analytics, and process, uniquely positions us to help clients better compete. We remain focused on investing for the future, and to“co-create” with our clients to deliver long-term sustainable business value for all of our key stakeholders.”

Fiscal 2020 Guidance

WNS is providing guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 as follows:     

• Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $854 million and $900 million, up from $794.0 million in fiscal 2019. This assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.31 in fiscal 2020 versus 1.31 in fiscal 2019.

• ANI* is expected to range between $139 million and $151 million versus $140.4 million in fiscal 2019. This assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 69.00 in fiscal 2020 versus 69.92 in fiscal 2019.

• Fiscal 2020 guidance includes an anticipated reduction in adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS of $0.05 as a result of IFRS 16 (as discussed below).

• Based on a diluted share count of 52.1 million shares, the company expects adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS to be in the range of $2.67 to $2.90 versus $2.69 in fiscal 2019.

“The company has provided our initial forecast for fiscal 2020 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Sanjay Puria, WNS’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the year reflects growth in revenue less repair payments* of 8% to 13%, or 7% to 13% on a constant currency* basis. Consistent with our guidance methodology in previous years, we enter fiscal 2020 with 90% visibility to the midpoint of the range. For the year, we expect capital expenditures of approximately $37 million.”

Fiscal Q4 2019 WNS (Holdings) Limited

IFRS 16:

As of April 1, 2019, WNS adopted the new IFRS standard on lease accounting (IFRS 16 ‘Leases’). The standard requires a lessee to recognize a right of use asset and lease liabilities for all leases, initially measured at the present value of–future lease payments. It replaces the prior accounting policy of a straight-line lease expense model with a higher interest accruing at a higher rate in earlier years and decreasing over the lease term while depreciation is on a straight-line basis. Under the IFRS 16 adoption method chosen by WNS, prior years are not restated to conform to the new policies. Consequently, the year-over-year changes in profit, assets and liabilities, and cash flows in fiscal 2020 will be impacted by the new policies.

The actual impact of IFRS 16 on our profit depends not only on the lease agreements in effect at the time of adoption but also on new lease agreements entered into or terminated in fiscal 2020. Based on WNS’s current lease volumes, we expect the impact of IFRS 16 on our fiscal 2020 profit to be as follows:

• Adjusted gross profit* and adjusted operating margin* percentages are expected to increase by 120 to 130 basis points.

• Finance expense as a percentage of revenue isexpected to increase by 160 to 170 basis points.

• ANI* is expected to reduce by $2.8 million or 30 basis points, which translates to a reduction in adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS of $0.05.

AboutNon-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information in this release includes certainnon-GAAP financial measures that we believe more accurately reflect our core operating performance. Reconciliations of thesenon-GAAP financial measures to our GAAP operating results are included below. A more detailed discussion of our GAAP results is contained in “Part I –Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our annual report on Form20-F filed with the SEC on May 16, 2018.

For financial statement reporting purposes, WNS has two reportable segments: WNS Global BPM and WNS Auto Claims BPM. Revenue less repair payments is anon-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a) revenue less (b) in the auto claims business, payments to repair centers for “fault” repair cases where WNS acts as the principal in its dealings with the third party repair centers and its clients. WNS believes that revenue less repair payments for “fault” repairs reflects more accurately the value addition of the business process management services that it directly provides to its clients. For more details, please see the discussion in “Part I – Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview” in our annual report on Form20-F filed with the SEC on May 16, 2018.

Constant currency revenue less repair payments is anon-GAAP financial measure. We present constant currency revenue less repair payments so that revenue less repair payments may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitatingperiod-to-period comparisons of business performance. Constant currency revenue less repair payments is presented by recalculating prior period’s revenue less repair payments denominated in currencies other than in US dollars using the foreign exchange rate used for the latest period, without taking into account the impact of hedging gains/losses. Ournon-US dollar denominated revenues include, but are not limited to, revenues denominated in pound sterling, South African rand, Australian dollar and Euro.

WNS also presents (1) adjusted operating margin, which refers to adjusted operating profit (calculated as operating profit / (loss) excluding share-based expense and amortization of intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, and (2) ANI, which is calculated as profit excluding share-based expense and amortization of intangible assets and including the tax effect thereon, and othernon-GAAP financial measures included in this release as supplemental measures of its performance. WNS presents thesenon-GAAP financial measures because it believes they assist investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that arenon-recurring in nature and those it believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, it uses thesenon-GAAP financial measures (i) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Thesenon-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’s financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Fiscal Q4 2019 WNS (Holdings) Limited

The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue, profit and earnings per ADS without unreasonable efforts for a number of reasons, including our inability to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the payments to repair centers, our future share-based compensation expense under IFRS 2 (Share Based payments), amortization of intangibles associated with future acquisitions and currency fluctuations. As a result, any attempt to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking GAAP financial measures (revenue, profit, earnings per ADS) to our forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures (revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that we do not believe is reasonable.
