JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 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 September 30, 2025.

"Fiscal 2025 was another important year as we delivered financial results consistent with our expectations while serving our global telecommunications customers with cutting-edge cloud, digital and AI-driven solutions designed to meet their strategic imperatives. Cloud-related activities delivered double-digit growth, reaching over 30% of total revenue, and we achieved significantly better profitability while maintaining our commitment to R&D. The year finished with very strong sales momentum. We secured Google Cloud migration awards at TELUS in Canada and Lumen Technologies in US and signed a digital transformation and IT operations agreement with Fidium, a new fiber customer in the US. Our international footprint expanded with modernization awards at British Telecom, or BT-EE in the UK, Altice SFR in France, Telia in Finland, PLDT in Philippines and Claro Brazil. Additionally, Telefónica Germany chose Amdocs to implement new GenAI use cases using the amAIz Sales Agent. This latest win extends our momentum following recent GenAI-related deals with Altice Optimum, e& UAE, and Consumer Cellular, and further demonstrates Amdocs' pivotal role in accelerating generative AI adoption in the telecom industry," said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

"Profitability improved significantly in fiscal 2025, reflecting the phase-out of certain low-margin, non-core business activities a year ago, and internal efficiency gains driven by automation, AI and a focus on operational excellence. Managed services as a share of overall revenue reached a record high 66% this year, further strengthening our business resilience as we maintained high renewal rates and expanded our customer activities under long-term agreements. Notably, Amdocs announced today a multi-year strategic expansion of our long-standing managed services engagement with PLDT. This landmark agreement will focus on modernizing PLDT's IT operations and streamlining business processes through AI and generative AI capabilities to empower next-generation customer experiences," said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer & chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Sheffer concluded, "With our unique tech-led and outcomes-based accountability model, Amdocs is strongly positioned to monetize a rich pipeline of opportunities across cloud, digital, network, and generative AI. That said, we are closely watching for any impacts of the uncertain global macroeconomic environment on us and our customers' demand and spending behavior. As generative AI technology matures, we believe there is now the potential to unlock even greater opportunities to enhance telco customer experience, agility, and efficiency. To fully capture this potential, we are accelerating our generative AI investments to open new pathways for future growth across our entire customer base. Overall, we expect revenue growth in the range of 1.7% to 5.7% as reported and 1.0% to 5.0% in constant currency⁽²⁾ in fiscal year 2026, positioning us to deliver high-single digit expected total shareholder returns⁽³⁾ as we balance our strategic long-term investments with the benefits of ongoing cost and efficiency gains across the business."

The forward-looking statements regarding our first fiscal quarter 2026 and full year fiscal 2026 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⁽⁵⁾, 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⁽⁵⁾ 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⁽⁵⁾, 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.
