NEW YORK – February 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - ExlService Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXLS), a leading data analytics and digital operations and solutions company, today announced its financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Rohit Kapoor, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In 2023, we achieved revenue growth of 16% and EPS growth of 19%, despite a challenging macro-economic environment and lower demand across the IT services industry. During the year, we made a strategic pivot in our strategy – to be data- and AI-led in everything we do. This strategy, and the meaningful investments we have made in our data and AI capabilities, put EXL in a leading market position as clients continue to recognize our differentiated value proposition. With our proven strategy, unique data, analytics and AI capabilities and an exceptionally talented and dedicated team, we believe EXL is well positioned to continue to outperform the industry in 2024 and beyond.”


Maurizio Nicolelli, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We ended 2023 with strong momentum across our business, a healthy balance sheet and solid free cash flow. While we are mindful of the economic uncertainty heading into 2024, we remain confident we will deliver above industry average revenue and EPS growth in 2024. Our guidance for 2024 revenue is in the range of $1.78 billion to $1.82 billion, representing a 9% to 12% increase year-over-year on both a reported and constant currency basis. We expect adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $1.56 to $1.62, representing a 9% to 13% increase over 2023.

“Our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million common stock repurchase program, effective March 1, 2024, for a two-year period, in line with our capital allocation strategy. This new authorization of $500 million represents confidence in our ability to continue our growth trajectory and generate significant free cash flow.”

EXLSERVICE HOLDINGS, INC.
Reconciliation of Adjusted Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

In addition to its reported operating results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), EXL has included in this release certain financial measures that are considered non-GAAP financial measures, including the following:
(i)Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin;
(ii)Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin;
(iii)Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share; and
(iv)Revenue growth on constant currency basis.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Accordingly, the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. EXL believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures may help investors better understand EXL’s underlying financial performance. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with EXL’s reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s results and comparisons of the Company’s results with the results of other companies. Additionally, management considers some of these non-GAAP financial measures to determine variable compensation of its employees. The Company believes that it is unreasonably difficult to provide its earnings per share financial guidance in accordance with GAAP, or a qualitative reconciliation thereof, for a number of reasons, including, without limitation, the Company’s inability to predict its future stock-based compensation expense under ASC Topic 718, the amortization of intangibles associated with future acquisitions and the currency fluctuations and associated tax effects. As such, the Company presents guidance with respect to adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company also incurs significant non-cash charges for depreciation that may not be indicative of the Company’s ability to generate cash flow.

EXL non-GAAP financial measures exclude, where applicable, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, provision for litigation matters, effects of termination of leases, certain defined social security contributions, allowance for certain material expected credit losses, other acquisition-related expenses or benefits and effect of any non-recurring tax adjustments. Acquisition-related expenses or benefits include, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, external deal costs, integration expenses, direct and incremental travel costs and non-recurring benefits or losses. Our adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS also excludes the effects of income tax on the above pre-tax items, as applicable. The effects of income tax of each item is calculated by applying the statutory rate of the local tax regulations in the jurisdiction in which the item was incurred.

A limitation of using non-GAAP financial measures versus financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is that non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our operating results as determined in accordance with GAAP and exclude costs that are recurring, namely stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. EXL compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP financial measures to allow investors to evaluate such non-GAAP financial measures.

EXL’s primary exchange rate exposure is with the Indian rupee, the U.K. pound sterling and the Philippine peso. The average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee increased from 82.31 during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 to 83.28 during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, representing a depreciation of 1.2% against the U.S. dollar. The average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Philippine peso decreased from 56.76 during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 to 55.86 during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, representing an appreciation of 1.6% against the U.S. dollar. The average exchange rate of the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar increased from 1.19 during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 to 1.25 during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, representing an appreciation of 5.4% against the U.S. dollar.


The following table shows the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2023:
