JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, today reported operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

"Amdocs achieved solid financial results and important business milestones in Q3 as we continued to support the strategic business imperatives of our customers with our innovative cloud, digital and AI-based solutions. Revenue of $1.14 billion exceeded the midpoint of our guidance, led by sequential growth in all regions and a record quarter in Europe where we continue to strengthen our customer partnerships. In the UK, BT has recently awarded Amdocs a digital transformation project, starting date to be finalized, that will enhance their consumer customer experience as part of a multi-year managed services engagement. Amdocs has also been selected by Elisa in Finland for a digital B2B modernization on Google Cloud. Additionally, we are encouraged to have won several strategic GenAI-related deals, providing Amdocs with a foundation on which to showcase our value and to gradually scale in this emerging domain. These deals include a leading service provider in the US which has signed an expanded multi-year agreement to transform its billing, commerce, and order management through GenAI powered solutions," said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

"With our unique delivery capabilities, we achieved a near record number of project milestones this quarter, including a successful cloud migration for Bell Canada and the go-live of a B2B platform deployment for Optus in Australia. We also achieved another record performance in managed services, which contributed $771 million, or roughly 67%, to total revenue in Q3. Demonstrating our proven ability to deliver consistent customer value, renewal rates in managed services remain high, evidenced by the expanded multi-year agreement we have signed, including modernization, with a leading US service provider, and the recent award with BT in the UK," said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer & chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer concluded, "Entering Q4, we are encouraged by a rich pipeline of opportunities across our large, serviceable addressable market. Our 12-month backlog is healthy, and we expect to meet our double-digit growth target in cloud this year. That said, we are closely watching for any impacts of the uncertain macroeconomic environment on us and our customers' spending behavior. Overall, for the full fiscal year 2025, we now expect slightly better revenue growth of roughly 2.9% in pro forma constant currency, assuming the midpoint of our improved range. We are also on track to deliver double-digit expected total shareholder returns(3) for the fifth consecutive year, supported by enhanced profitability and robust earnings to cash conversion."

The forward-looking statements regarding our fourth fiscal quarter 2025 and full year fiscal 2025 guidance take into consideration the Company's current expectations regarding macro and industry specific risks and various uncertainties and certain assumptions that we will discuss on our earnings conference call. However, we note that market dynamics continue to shift rapidly and we cannot predict all possible outcomes, including those resulting from certain geopolitical events, the current inflationary environment, changes to trade policies including tariffs and trade restrictions and the resulting impact on economic activities (as our outlook assumes current economic conditions do not deteriorate significantly due to trade policy or other macro factors), global or regional events, and the prevailing level of macro-economic, business and operational uncertainty, which have created, and continue to create, a significant amount of uncertainty, or from current and potential customer consolidation or their other strategic corporate activities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, revenue on a constant currency(2) basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth. These other non-GAAP measures exclude the following items:

• amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs;

• changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value;

• restructuring and unusual charges or benefits;

• equity-based compensation expense;

• other; and

• tax effects related to the above.

Free cash flow equals cash generated by operating activities less net capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Amdocs believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Amdocs' results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Amdocs' results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Amdocs believes that the presentation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other financial measures, including free cash flow(4), revenue on a constant currency(2) basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the net amount of cash generated by its business operations after taking into account capital spending required to maintain or expand the business.

For its internal budgeting process and in monitoring the results of the business, Amdocs' management uses financial statements that do not include amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value, restructuring and unusual charges or benefits, equity-based compensation expense, other and related tax effects. Amdocs' management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Amdocs. In addition, Amdocs believes that significant groups of investors exclude these items in reviewing its results and those of its competitors, because the amounts of the items between companies can vary greatly depending on the assumptions used by an individual company in determining the amounts of the items.

Amdocs further believes that, where the adjustments used in calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are based on specific, identified amounts that impact different line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income (including cost of revenue, research and development, selling, general and administrative, operating income, interest and other expenses, net, income taxes and net income), it is useful to investors to understand how these specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income are affected by these adjustments. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Selected Financial Metrics from GAAP to Non-GAAP tables below.
