JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / 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 March 31, 2026.

"I'm excited to be leading Amdocs forward in the agentic era, as our vision is to become the primary partner of choice to turn the agentic opportunity into reality for our customers. We believe Amdocs is uniquely positioned to lead due to our deep industry knowledge and telco domain expertise, engineering and innovation pedigree, mission critical systems transformation leadership and our outcome-based business model. To realize our vision, we are aiming to move towards an agentic and automated portfolio, tailor agentic customer roadmaps, leverage strategic partnerships, and internally transform the way we operate. While we are continuing to refine our strategy, we are already seeing initial commercial engagements with the launch of aOS- Amdocs' agentic operating system for telco.

We are building this strategy on our strong business foundations, as demonstrated by solid Q2 results which show healthy sales, strong customer relationships and consistent operating execution," said Shimie Hortig, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

"Project delivery continued as a defining strength for Amdocs this quarter, as reflected by many production milestones achieved for AT&T, Vodafone Germany and other flagship customers worldwide. Profitability improved year-over-year, demonstrating our continued focus on operational excellence and automation, and we generated healthy free cash flow of which we returned more than 100% to shareholders though share repurchases and dividend payments," said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer and chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Hortig continued, "I'm pleased with our financial and operational progress for the fiscal year to date, and while we are closely monitoring macroeconomic developments and customer spending behavior in the current climate, we are on track to achieve our fiscal 2026 financial guidance."

Hortig concluded, "On behalf of the Board and the entire leadership team, I want to thank Tamar for her exceptional leadership, partnership and dedication over the past 22 years. Throughout her tenure, Tamar has played a critical role in strengthening our financial foundation, leading operational excellence, supporting our strategic growth and helping position the company for long-term success. We are deeply grateful for her many contributions and wish her the very best. We are very pleased to appoint Tal Rozenfeld as our next Chief Financial Officer. Tal brings deep financial expertise, strong operational and business knowledge and a proven track record of leadership. Tal has been an important part of our finance and leadership team, and we are confident he will play a key role in driving the next phase of Amdocs' growth and execution."

The forward-looking statements regarding our third fiscal quarter 2026 and full year fiscal 2026 guidance take into consideration the Company's current expectations regarding macroeconomic, geopolitical and industry specific risks and various uncertainties and certain assumptions, some of which 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, including customer spending behavior 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. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow⁽²⁾, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ 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⁽²⁾ 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 financial measures, including non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow⁽²⁾, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ 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.
