NEW YORK; June 26, 2014 — Accenture (NYSE: ACN) reported strong financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, ended May 31, 2014, with net revenues of $7.74 billion, an increase of 7 percent in both U.S. dollars and local currency over the same period last year, above the company’s guided range of $7.40 billion to $7.65 billion.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.26, compared with $1.21 for the third quarter last year, which included a benefit of $50 million, or $0.07 per share, from a reduction in reorganization liabilities. Excluding this benefit, diluted EPS for the third quarter last year were $1.14. Diluted EPS for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 11 percent from adjusted EPS for the third quarter last year.
Operating income for the quarter was $1.18 billion, or 15.2 percent of net revenues, compared with $1.14 billion, or 15.9 percent of net revenues, for the third quarter last year, which included the benefit of $50 million from the reduction in reorganization liabilities. Excluding this benefit, operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1.09 billion, or 15.2 percent of net revenues.
New bookings for the quarter were $8.8 billion, with consulting bookings of $4.3 billion and outsourcing bookings of $4.5 billion.
Pierre Nanterme, Accenture’s chairman and CEO, said, “We are very pleased with our third-quarter financial results. We delivered strong revenue growth, which was broad-based across the different dimensions of our business, and earnings per share of $1.26, up 11 percent. New bookings of $8.8 billion bring us to $27.6 billion for the first three quarters of the year, and demonstrate that our services continue to be highly relevant to our clients. We generated solid free cash flow and returned $1.1 billion in cash to our shareholders.
“These results clearly demonstrate that we are successfully executing our growth strategy. We are leveraging our unique positioning at the intersection of business and technology, capturing new opportunities in key growth areas—especially digital—and investing to further differentiate our capabilities. At the same time, we are maintaining a disciplined management approach to continue enhancing our competitiveness. We remain confident in our ability to continue driving profitable growth and delivering value for our clients and shareholders.”

The foreign-exchange impact for the quarter was approximately zero percent, consistent with the assumption provided in the company’s second-quarter earnings release.
| |

Diluted EPS for the quarter were $1.26, compared with $1.21 for the third quarter last year, which included a $0.07 benefit from the reduction in reorganization liabilities. Excluding this benefit, EPS for the third quarter last year were $1.14. The $0.12 increase from adjusted EPS last year reflects:
| |
| ▪ | $0.09 from higher revenue and operating results; and |
| |
| ▪ | $0.04 from a lower share count |
partially offset by:
| |
| ▪ | $0.01 from lower non-operating income. |
Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net revenues) for the quarter was 32.8 percent, compared with 33.9 percent for the third quarter last year. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter were $1.36 billion, or 17.5 percent of net revenues, compared with $1.35 billion, or 18.7 percent of net revenues, for the third quarter last year.
Operating income for the quarter was $1.18 billion, or 15.2 percent of net revenues, compared with $1.14 billion, or 15.9 percent of net revenues, for the third quarter last year, which included the $50 million reorganization benefit.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 3 percent on a GAAP basis and 8 percent from adjusted operating income for the third quarter last year.

Net income for the quarter was $882 million, compared with $874 million for the third quarter last year, which included the favorable impact of the $50 million reorganization benefit.

Accenture’s total cash balance at May 31, 2014 was $4.0 billion, compared with $5.6 billion at Aug. 31, 2013. The lower cash balance at May 31, 2014 was principally due to share repurchases and cash dividend payments, as well as funds used for business acquisitions.
Utilization for the quarter was 88 percent, compared with 87 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and 88 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These include, without limitation, risks that: the company’s results of operations could be adversely affected by volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions and the effects of these conditions on the company’s clients’ businesses and levels of business activity; the company’s business depends on generating and maintaining ongoing, profitable client demand for the company’s services and solutions, and a significant reduction in such demand could materially affect the company’s results of operations; if the company is unable to keep its supply of skills and resources in balance with client demand around the world and attract and retain professionals with strong leadership skills, the company’s business, the utilization rate of the company’s professionals and the company’s results of operations may be materially adversely affected; the markets in which the company competes are highly competitive, and the company might not be able to compete effectively; the company’s profitability could suffer if its cost-management strategies are unsuccessful, and the company may
not be able to improve its profitability through improvements to cost-management to the degree it has done in the past; the company’s results of operations could materially suffer if the company is not able to obtain sufficient pricing to enable it to meet its profitability expectations; if the company’s pricing estimates do not accurately anticipate the cost, risk and complexity of the company performing its work or third parties upon whom it relies do not meet their commitments, then the company’s contracts could have delivery inefficiencies and be unprofitable; the company could have liability or the company’s reputation could be damaged if the company fails to protect client and/or company data or information systems as obligated by law or contract or if the company’s information systems are breached; the company’s results of operations and ability to grow could be materially negatively affected if the company cannot adapt and expand its services and solutions in response to ongoing changes in technology and offerings by new entrants; as a result of the company’s geographically diverse operations and its growth strategy to continue geographic expansion, the company is more susceptible to certain risks; the company’s Global Delivery Network is increasingly concentrated in India and the Philippines, which may expose it to operational risks; the company might not be successful at identifying, acquiring or integrating businesses or entering into joint ventures; the company’s work with government clients exposes the company to additional risks inherent in the government contracting environment; the company’s business could be materially adversely affected if the company incurs legal liability; the company’s results of operations could be materially adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the company’s alliance relationships may not be successful or may change, which could adversely affect the company’s results of operations; outsourcing services and the continued expansion of the company’s other services and solutions into new areas subject the company to different operational risks than its consulting and systems integration services; the company’s services or solutions could infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others or the company might lose its ability to utilize the intellectual property of others; if the company is unable to protect its intellectual property rights from unauthorized use or infringement by third parties, its business could be adversely affected; the company’s ability to attract and retain business and employees may depend on its reputation in the marketplace; many of the company’s contracts include payments that link some of its fees to the attainment of performance or business targets and/or require the company to meet specific service levels, which could increase the variability of the company’s revenues and impact its margins; changes in the company’s level of taxes, and audits, investigations and tax proceedings, or changes in the company’s treatment as an Irish company, could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial condition; if the company is unable to manage the organizational challenges associated with its size, the company might be unable to achieve its business objectives; if the company is unable to collect its receivables or unbilled services, the company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected; the company’s share price and results of operations could fluctuate and be difficult to predict; the company’s results of operations and share price could be adversely affected if it is unable to maintain effective internal controls; any changes to the estimates and assumptions that the company makes in connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements could adversely affect its financial results; the company may be subject to criticism and negative publicity related to its incorporation in Ireland; as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed under the “Risk Factors” heading in Accenture plc’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
